Not all celebrities can claim to have the poignant title of "Hollywood Nice Guy," like industry veteran Tom Hanks and so-called "internet boyfriend" Keanu Reeves. On the one hand, there are the stars that everyone loves to work with, while the other features some of the most arrogant and shadowy of the A-listers that popular peers just can't stand. Somewhere in the middle are those famous faces that could hide behind their public persona disguise, shaking hands, posing with fans, and never removing the PR mask they so cleverly wear.
That said, no one is perfect and celebrities are not machines. We all have bad days, mistakes, and times when we just don't want to be disturbed. But if a celebrity shares a rude encounter with another star, you better believe Tinseltown will be talked about. While not all are petty enough to put all the people who have wronged them into full blast (yes, we mean Kim Kardashian's epic "burning book"), others have publicly blurted out some uncomfortable stumbling blocks they've had . While our title shouldn't be taken literally in all cases, we all gawk at some notably rude celebrity interactions, like those of a handful of Hollywood's elite.

At first glance, you would probably never think that Pierce Brosnan could be a rude man. Between his sultry voice and his elegant looks, the Irish actor won our hearts as James Bond in the late 90s. In more recent years, he has maintained the appearance of being a true gentleman. However, comedian James Corden might differ with this brilliant reputation.
In a "Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts" headline segment on The Late Late Show in 2017, guest Khloé Kardashian asked the British host about the grossest celebration he's ever known. "Pierce Brosnan," Corden revealed, but added: "I don't think he's a rude man, he just turned out to be [to me]" The star of the night claimed: "I went to see U2 ... and Pierce Brosnan was with some friends here, and they left in the middle of the concert to leave… So my wife and I moved to this area. And literally ... this arm continued here and just pushed me out of the way. And I looked at him like that, and he didn't even look at me.
We never thought that the better-known actor as Agent 007 could be so tough in real life, but, as Corden put it, "Maybe he's a little rude." Yikes

Gene Simmons may look scary with all the makeup he wears as a bass player in KISS, but no one would have thought it would be… rude to the elderly. Hope for?
It all started when Modern Family Eric Stonestreet shared a series of text messages from his mother, Jamey, on Instagram in 2014. “I think [Gene] Simmons is on my flight. Do you think I should go kiss him? "She jokingly texted him (via the Daily Mail), to which her famous son joked," Yeah. With tongue".

Meanwhile, Stanley mashed the meat by apologizing to the mother-son duo. As for Stonestreet? He thanked Stanley, adding: "I will once again stick my glow on the dark KISS posters."

Rumors surrounding Ariana Grande's alleged diva behavior have been spinning for years. The pint-sized crooner even fought the claims in a 2014 appearance on the Australian radio show, Mike E and Emma. "That's not real, that doesn't make sense," Grande said (via Toronto Sun) "My fans know who I am, my family knows who I am, my friends know who I am and that's all that matters."

Christina Aguilera has earned a reputation for not being the friendliest person among Hollywood's elite. A celebrity that this pop star apparently rubbed the wrong way? One day at a time by Valerie Bertinelli.
Television host Andy Cohen asked Bertinelli to explain what happened between the two stars during a 2014 episode of Watch What Happens Live.

She gave me the cold shoulder, and I thought, 'B ** ch, I'm a fan. Can't you be nice to me? «
After Cohen asked Bertinelli if he had seen Aguilera since then, the Hot on Cleveland Star replied, “No, no. But you know what? She could have improved, but I heard no. " Taste.

You probably shouldn't bother someone while they are in the middle of intense training, but that's exactly what Sister Sister student Tia Mowry decided to do during a SoulCycle tutorial. In 2014, the former child star recounted the time when she was allegedly - and awkwardly - snubbed by one of her favorite actresses, Charlize Theron. "She wasn't very nice to me," Mowry said. In Touch. "I said 'Hi,' and she actually rolled her eyes and said, 'Oh my gosh.' It was not an exaggeration. I know how to approach another celebrity.
Andy Cohen later decided to retell the gossip with Theron herself in an episode of Watch What Happens Live. "What a bitch," the star joked when asked about the sitch. No, I heard this story, did he really say it? Was it just written? " Once Cohen explained that the story originated in a tabloid, Theron responded, “Oh well, you can't go through that, can you? I'm really nice on SoulCycle, actually, because once my endorphins kick in… I'm actually almost too friendly. Ready to get to the bottom of this rumored feud, ME! Noticias caught up with Mowry, who finally cleared the air in 2017: “Everything was disproportionate. I respect her. I think it's incredible.

Australian radio host Em Rusciano has probably had his fair share of rude celebrity encounters. Considering it's part of his job to talk to A-listers, he surprisingly had no trouble narrowing down the rudest star he'd ever met.
"Easy, lead singer of Snow Patrol," responded to a fan who had asked on Instagram in 2018 (via News.com.au) Her story about an interview she and co-host Michael "Wippa" Wipfli did with Gary Lightbody made this celebrity gossip so much more fun. "Wippa and I went to interview [the band] ... and they had that great song on Grey's Anatomy (" Chasing Cars ")," explained Rusciano. " They told us: 'Don't ask him about that because he gets angry', but we did it because that's the only thing anyone cared about, "he continued, before raising his middle finger and adding:" And he sat like that for the rest of the interview. ».
Maybe we can credit all the sitch to Lightbody having a day off, considering she talked about the iconic track for BBC news years after this interview. "I still have a very deep relationship with that song," he said, adding, "It's a beautiful moment every time you play it." We're sure some Grey's Anatomy fans would agree with him there.

Kathy Griffin is no stranger to speaking her mind. The comedy veteran has often been called up and had repercussions for her sometimes forceful portrayal of other celebrities. "I say the real things," Salón told her in 2018. "And there are some serious parts, like the death threats." However, this hasn't stopped Griffin from telling it like it is, like sharing all of her celebrity secrets in her book, Kathy Griffin Celebrity Encounters. A star you couldn't say anything positive about? Actor Jon Hamm.
"You will never convince me that I like Jon Hamm," Griffin wrote in 2016, before telling a supposed story of an unfortunate dinner (via Us Weekly) "Hammy showed up ... He even said, 'What are you doing here?' I said… 'What are you doing here?' "If you haven't cringed yet, he explained that while talking to Jack Nicholson later, an intoxicated Hamm began whispering in his ear," First it was, 'You know your Emmy isn't a real Emmy '… then she whispered,' You're so old. '
Considering the fact that Hamm previously told GQ that he realized his popular Mad Men character, Don Draper, is a bad guy, but "lives with the guy every day", maybe he was taking too much advice from his alter ego. onscreen.

Jon Stewart was the legendary host of The Daily Show for 16 years, during which time he made audiences laugh, cry, and often turn political, all while maintaining the perfect balance needed for every situation. For the most part, he was able to handle everything that was thrown at him except for one seemingly unbearable celebrity who was kicked out of the comedian's studio: actor Hugh Grant.
In 2012, Stewart spoke to fellow host and best friend Stephen Colbert at a Q&A in New Jersey, revealing that while The Daily Show's guests have sometimes included "dictators," it was Grant who was "giving all the world all the time, and he's a big pain in the a ** ”(via Third Beat Magazine) While promoting his new movie at the time, Have You Heard of the Morgans ?, the movie star openly complained about the clip chosen to run in the program. What is that clip? It's a terrible clip, "Grant asked angrily, to which the host replied," Well then make a better f ** king movie. Clumsy!
So what did Grant say about this? To his credit, he took on Twitter with a bit of self-deprecating humor: “Turns out my inner crab got the best of me with the TV producer in 09. Unforgivable. J Stewart is right to kick me.

Michael Jordan is considered the G.O.A.T. in NBA history. Unfortunately, it seems that the intensity of the legendary player on the court has sometimes translated into it as well, which big fan and rapper Chamillionaire realized after an alleged incident with the basketball giant in 2009. "I saw Michael Jordan taking pictures with girls "I thought, 'Man, this is just a moment ... I'm going to ask Mike for a picture,'" he told fans on Ustream. “I was expecting him to say no, so I wasn't angry if he said no. But the way he said it? He said, 'Oh, hell, man! I'm not taking photos without n ** ** s. «» Don't worry, our eyes are wide open too.
The story obviously accelerated at that point, including among ESPN, who noted, "There is also broad support for the idea that Jordan is not a saint ... [we] can't help but wonder if the public perception of Jordan is changing." As for the number 23 in person? Jordan apparently decided to prove Chamillionaire's claims wrong, as years later, he was seen posing with fellow rap artist 2 Chainz in a flash on Instagram.

If you are an A-list celebrity, you should probably avoid being rude with a promising promotion. Cue, 13-year-old Hailee Steinfeld, who was heading home after a successful audition in December 2009.

I was practically crying on the way home "Aww!
Michele then said Gossip Cop “I heard Hailee was upset and felt terrible. Joy The schedule is so crowded that the AP probably lured me into not being late. I never wanted to hurt her feelings. She is an extraordinary talent and I hope to meet her one day. " It crushes their haunting first meeting she did, as the two actresses met once again at the 2011 SAG Awards just weeks later, where Michele took the time to pose for a photo with Steinfeld.

Jennifer Lawrence has been considered by many to be Hollywood's quirky "It Girl" for years. She's the one who always speaks her mind, tends to fall for it in public, and is generally considered super relatable by her fans. But is this Oscar winner starting to take her fame for granted?
Lawrence sat down with Adam Sandler in 2017 for Variety Actors on Actors Series, where the duo discussed the negatives of fans who sometimes don't respect their personal space. "Once I enter a public place, I become incredibly rude," said the actress. "I become a huge hole." Explaining that it is their way of defending themselves, she added, "[They say], 'Can I take a selfie?' And I say 'No!'
As Sandler giggled at the comment, he then tried to offer his own two cents to the young star. "I don't turn them off," he said. "My new move has been that it works well when it comes to an older man… I say, 'You don't want that, man.' However, the damage was apparently done. At the time of writing this article in 2019, the YouTube video has 3,600 likes, but it also has a whopping 9,700 dislikes, presumably by some fans who were deleted in the wrong way.
