40 Times Celebs Tried To Be Relatable, But Instead Showed How Out-Of-Touch They Really Are
For the regular folks, itās hard to relate to someone who flies to Paris only for the afternoon on their private plane or eats chef-made sushi for breakfast. And yet celebrities still want to appeal to their fans by trying to be relatable while doing all of these things. Sometimes, they succeed, but other times, they miss the mark so badly that the whole world collectively cringes.
Our Bored Panda team collected many examples of the latter from this popular thread that are bound to leave you feeling uncomfortable. Scroll down to check them out for yourself, and donāt forget to upvote those that youād put in the Hollywood Walk of Shame, if there was one, that is.
Kinda obvious answer but Kendall Jenner making herself a salad only to reveal how she probably never cut a cucumber before.

Anytime celebs go on about āeveryone has 24 hours a dayā āif you work for it you can achieve itā āmanifest it!!ā rise and grind type s**t.
As if someone working two low paid jobs while they support their kids has access to the same resources/money/time as celebrity millionaires.
Grimes on Elon Musk saying ābro lives below the poverty lineā
Like either of them have any idea what that even means.
I deeply dislike Ellen D but her segment where she has rich people guess the cost of grocery store items is hilarious/sad. Bill Gates guessed that a bag of pizza rolls cost $22 š
Itās pretty funny to me that she likes to make fun of the ~out of touch wealthy celebs~ as if she isnāt one of the worst.
Lewis Hamilton has many of these.
Being vegan for the environment while tweeting from a private jet, doing loads of campaigning for a better future before getting ousted for tax evasion on his private jet.
He’s like a woke Bristol Uni student but rich, tax avoidant, jet setting F1 driver.
*”āI have the best advice for women in business. Get your f*****g a*s up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.ā*
-Kimberly Oh So Relatable Kardashian.
All those celebrities in March/April 2020 who talked about us being āall in this togetherā from their sprawling mansions.
Oldie but goodie, Ariana calling herself the “hardest-working 23yo in the world” back in 2016/2017. Like, no doubt she works hard. But I got news for her…
Vanessa hudgens when Coachella was cancelled due to covid and how upset she was because people where gonna die anyway and itās sad but inevitable ā¦.
Elon Musk March 2020 “The corona virus panic is dumb.” Maybe the panicking part is dumb but I bet he just didn’t want to create safer working conditions at his factories, so that people weren’t coughing all over each other and spreading a potentially deadly virus.
Sam Smith did a social media post about how hard they were finding covid lockdown regulations and having to stay at home. From the garden of their large property in England.
I’m sure people in the 20th floor of flats in tower blocks would have felt their pain.
I hate when celebrities give cooking tips. It’s like always some mediterranean dish that costs $220 just for the ingredients and then needs some special terracotta plate or something.
Every time Kendall or Kim K open their mouths about āissuesā esp work ethic, every nepo kid talking about how they started their careers, Ellen D talking about covid and being in her mansion all day, Emma chamberlain every week of her podcast.
Gal Gadot and all the celebs singing āimagineā during the pandemicā¦ fell sooo flat!
Everything Jennifer Lawrence did to appear relatable had the opposite effect:
* The “hilarious” story about scratching her a*s with sacred rocks in Hawaii.
* That time she said she wished she had a “weird quirk” like OCD to be more interesting.
* When she presented at the Oscars alongside Amy Schumer and she started like to weirdly shush and point at people in the audience as a joke. That was peak, peak cringe.
* When she berated and made fun of a journalist whose only crime was speaking English as a second language just to be fun and show off in front of everyone. That was the one that really, really made me dislike her, such a phony tryhard.
Jennifer Lopez trying to convince people olive oil is the secret for ageless skin while selling 100$ serums.
When asked if she felt pressured into marrying Humphries with her life being the subject of a reality TV show, Kardashian said: ‘Not really. We had done filming our season at that point, so we decided to film for the wedding. And that was a decision that he and I made together.
‘But I think that, with any decisions in life, like, I spoke to a girl today who had cancer and we were talking about how this is such a hard thing for her, but it taught her a big lesson on who her friends are and so much about life.
‘She’s 18. And I was like, that’s how I feel.’
– Kim Kardashian.
Hailey beiber talking about Black Lives Matters when she literally had to delete her Twitter over her racist past.
The group called her out on her and Justinās racism and she deleted them altogether.
They also chose to get married on a plantation in the south.
KhloƩ posting a bikini pic on Instagram during the pandemic and the caption was about how she missed her pre-quarantine body.
Demi lovato talking about how they didnāt have the right kind of frozen yogurt at some small business and they ended up getting hate.
For me itās The time When Nathan Chen in an interview( 2022 Olympic champion) was talking about how hard it is to be a straight man in a homosexual dominated sport.
Love her but Rachel Zegler doing a reenactment of Britney Spears tweets. Did not give what she thought it it was gonna give.
Niche political one: Cillian Murphy wearing a poppy on an UK interview for Peaky Blinders had half of Irish twitter absolutley raging with him for being a sellout.
I remember hearing a story on Joe Rogan from someone who knew someone who invited Tom Cruise to a Superbowl party.
He turned up with a brand new pigskin. And when he was asked which team he supported he replied ” All of them”.
He was pleasant but everything he did felt rehearsed like he was on camera or on the red carpet.
The new Kardashians episode where Kylie and Kris go grocery shopping and get a car wash. Cringe and so out of touch.
Johnny Depp claiming his life is ruined while still owning an island and multiple homes around the globe.
