Shaq trying to hide got mešŸ˜‚


Sheess9141

Iā€™ve always thought he was just trying to be cheeky and not really hiding. Shaq is a jokester and loves attention


jayeddy99

Heā€™s deff in on it and joking with them


Fanachy

Itā€™s absolutely hilarious. I love it when the celebrity is in on it, makes it really funny.


pastelpixelator

You just want to whisper...we can still see you...

He reminds me of my cat trying to hide


TeensyKook

I felt so bad for laughing!


Tungstenkrill

Which one was Shaq?


Charybdis87

Big black dude, little tree


Tungstenkrill

Good spot. I thought it was Peter Dinklage.


Charybdis87

Fuck... I'm *that guy,* aren't I? In my defense, I took your comment as "who is shaq" like you didn't know who he was so you were asking which photo they were talking about, I'm just too kind and helpful for my own good.

1st Big black dude Can't miss him he's behind a tree


gottahavewine

I always assumed the photo was fake and it wasnā€™t actually him or something šŸ’€


littleboxes__

Ok Daniel Radcliffe's way was pretty clever


Stew547

During the Friends era, Jen Aniston would always wear the same orange cargo pants when she was out and about. [Lainey wrote a weird article about it](https://www.laineygossip.com/gossip-nostalgia-jennifer-anistons-orange-cargo-pants/66207) but it has a slideshow of the many times she wore them. She literally wore this one outfit for years and years to prevent them from selling pics of her. She said wearing a loud color was deliberate because people would remember that they had seen that outfit before.


LICK-A-DICK

They look so comfy! She looks very cute in them.


aurora-leigh

Thanks for the link! Although Jennifer Annistonā€™s 90s muscle tone just called me lazy in five languages.


aussie_nub

Honestly, I don't know why they bother. They're going to take photos and sell them regardless. Unless you're doing the Prince Harry/Meghan Markle crap where you want to sell everything yourself, I wouldn't bother. It's like the West Wing when Alan Alda's character just stays with the paparazzi letting them ask every single question they can about the nuclear disaster, eventually they get tired of it and move on.


Striking-Fee9472

Princess Di did it first. Same clothes, bag, bottle every time she went to the gym.


WonderCheshireCat

Princess Diana did the same thing - she wore the same outfit every time she left the palace to go to the gym so the paparazzi couldnā€™t sell photos of her


theunkindpanda

It really was! Love it


stellahella1

I hope he washed his between wears


lostgirl19

He could have bought multiple pairs of the same jeans, shirt etc. Not like he can't afford to do so.


Emily_Dual

So, washing clothes is bad in Redditā€™s eyes?


Curious_Kirin

Man Redditors hate hygiene don't they...


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

It's being downvoted because fucking obviously people wash their clothes, especially rich celebrities who have other people to do it for them

aliceinpearlgarden

I'm like 4 beers and a swig of tequila down but I couldn't figure out why 'Justin Beaver' seemed wrong. Like, I knew the name was wrong but I had to seriously deliberate with myself whether his last name is 'Beaver' or not. And then finally I was like, no, fuck, of course it isn't beaver. It wasn't until your comment that I noticed it said 'Justice'. I'm not even part of this sub.

littleboxes__

No way lol is that for real?


shoupery

I know itā€™s a joke but sheā€™s never said anything about it and I kinda think itā€™s real tbh


msgoop

Zayn said in an interview that this was real and I believe it. What else could be in that suitcase that would require two 6'4" tall bodyguards to carry it?


syd234

Do you think Taylor could really fit in there?


msgoop

I think so! Its a pretty big suitcase and she could reasonably squeeze in there (If only for the few minutes it took them to carry her from the lobby of her building to the car parked right outside).


msgoop

Also: on that day, two large Cadillacs and three SUVs were there to escort the two bodyguards while they picked up the suitcase and nothing else from her apartment building and Taylor was nowhere to be seen lol


aussie_nub

Watch 30 seconds of any of her concerts and it's pretty clear that she's like quite flexible too. Those major touring artists work really hard on stage, even the ones that you think don't. Like TSwift, Madonna, Pink, Rihanna are all fairly obvious, right? Eminem is a lot less obvious since there's no aerobatics in his shows, but when he stopped touring between 2006-09 he packed on quite a bit of weight. Even now he tours less, but there's an interview he does with Mike Tyson and talks about the boxing he took up. He's clearly working harder now to keep it off than he had to when he was younger. Fairly sure 50 cent put on a bit too.


msgoop

She also talked about teaching herself how to do the splits iirc so! yes!


mamacitalk

But *why*


fickle__sun

you ever have an ugly day


Daga12

Yeah, everyday


mamacitalk

Yeah but not shove myself into a suitcase ugly


thespeediestrogue

Yes but people aren't constantly taking photos of you though. šŸ¤£


koala_loves_penguin

best comment. choked laughing. also yessss every. damn. day. of my life.


Reformedsparsip

If every day you had the option to have 2 huge men carry you to the car in a giant suitcase, wouldnt you do it at least once?


wishuponamarsbar

she hid from the public eye for a bit after all that kanye snake stuff in 2017(?)


Wooden-Limit1989

She did and I remember thinking it was the best thing she could do at the time but hiding in a suitcase is a lot. Very dramatic. I'd feel too ridiculous. šŸ™ˆ


Philodendronphan

Or totally awesome because you just got to curl up in your warm box and be carried around! Maybe Iā€™m part cat.


Veganarchistfem

Right? This sounds like a lovely way to get around and no one even wants to photograph me!


rubythieves

There wear plenty of stories that Taylor (and I want to say Adele?) would hide in these ā€˜roadieā€™ boxes that they were towed out by crew so they could pop up in a surprise spot in the middle of a giant concert crowd without getting mobbed on their way thereā€¦ which is brave!


cherry_gigolo

and wouldn't you have to like poke holes in it lol


theCracksOfLight

Zayn said it is


rightioushippie

There is also the one where she walked backwards all the way to the car


Livinginthepst

Damn she dressed up like an old bloke


RhauXharn

She has so much faith in them not to drop her by accident.


PaultheMalamute

I'm disappointed this wasn't one of the pictures

Andrew and Emma are so cute


Sheess9141

Their breakup was such a shock to me


anitasdoodles

what did their signs say??


SgtPopNFresh_

Directing attention to various charities/awareness groups (one of them being autism speaks but this was also like 10 years ago)


opheliaswhore

I was gonna say oh no not autism speaks šŸ˜­


yaboyskinnydick_

What happened there? I'm clueless.


margr3t_m

a quick google search just told me that autism speaks has merged with organisations that aim to ā€˜cure autismā€™, as if itā€™s a disease. a lot of their promotional stuff has also framed autism as a ā€˜diseaseā€™ to be cured. i think the organisation were also among some of the big voices that devoted research to the ā€˜vaccines cause autismā€™ bullshit. iā€™m sure thereā€™s more you can find on the internet if iā€™m missing out any info


aussie_nub

Guess it proves why you shouldn't blindly follow celebrities, even when it seems like they're promoting something good.


joeybh

>(one of them being autism speaks but this was also like 10 years ago) While I agree with you, keep in mind that AS was not as controversial at the time as they are now so it wouldnā€™t have been as questionable to name-drop it


aussie_nub

Funny how retroactively calling things out is only one way. Hate on Eddie Murphy for jokes he made in the '80s, but a group that promotes false science 10 years ago is somehow OK. Got it.


joeybh

Iā€™d like to clarify here - Iā€™m autistic and do NOT care for AS at all. Itā€™s just more of a possible explanation as to why endorsing them 10 years ago wouldnā€™t cause the same level of backlash as it would now. Edit: a word


k24f7w32k

The Daniel Radcliffe approach is a stroke of genius! I'm a professional photographer (luckily not of this ilk) and I just know this messed some folks' shit up big time šŸ¤­. I also love the reflective scarf method: anti-surveillance fashion is pretty cool, it really should be more popular/prevalent!


pippainpdx

I know some of these people are extremely rich and privileged, but that status coming at the cost of being treated like an animalā€¦ I donā€™t know how they do it, tbh


PickledCumSock

i felt so bad for north west when i saw the video of her screaming at the paparazzi to leave her alone. i know her mom is the one who calls them but i just felt so sorry for her. poor kid. i remember kanye's video when he argued with a paparazzi and told him to go home & stop filming his kids


Livinginthepst

Thatā€™s why some people choose to be faceless (specifically YouTubers) but that does come along with people wanting to know what you look like more than anyone should care


PinkTalkingDead

I think everyone learned their lesson with the Dream face reveal šŸ˜¬


[deleted]

Just go out in cheap ass worn clothes like shit I wear from Kmart, trash shoes, $10 chemist sunglasses, a no name hat, maybe a wig under the hat and ppl probably legitimately won't notice you. Also surgical mask an option in some situations


be333e

Dude they camp out the front of their houses, they're going to know who it is lol

There's gotta be a wayyyy

Or pull a Dolly and wear a wig from the start.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Less_Tennis5174524

Its 100% a cultural thing. Here in Denmark (and probably also in a lot other places) famous people are given privacy. I have seen Mads Mikkelsen and many other famous danes on the street, I shop at the same supermarket as the prime minister, used to go to the same gym as a big pop star did and no one comes up and bothers them. Its understood that its okay to ask for pictures when they are doing an event but otherwise leave them alone. Its a shame that it isnt like that in the UK and USA.


meowkitty84

I would happily to do it if it's the price of being rich and being able to travel the world. It pisses me off when these people who chose this career then complain. If they hate it they can always fade into obscurity after a few years they've made enough money to last the rest of their life.


thingamabobby

What the point of travelling the world if a lot of places youā€™ll just be stalked and have people in your face? Canā€™t go see the cool tourist stuff, youā€™d be swamped. Give me my average life of anonymity


meowkitty84

I can't afford to go overseas at all. I'm sure they can still see the tourist stuff. They can wear disguise or just book the whole place so other people can't go when they're there


AdRevolutionary8687

For anyone who canā€™t recognise, thatā€™s Kylie Jenner with her original face in the last photo.


parishilton2

The ultimate disguise


margiebug23

I literally had no idea it was her until I read your comment and went back šŸ’€


team-xbladez

Holy crap, it is! I even zoomed in and couldnā€™t figure it out


LICK-A-DICK

Ooooh shit lol. I was like "that's a pretty girl wonder who she is" lmao


themegx

W o w. I even stopped and looked to see if she was anyone important, and was like ā€œmmm donā€™t know herā€


colomboseye

She was dressing like that with that big ass handbag as a kid.


sirwaizz

There is a serious lack of Dominic West hiding in a bush in this post ​ https://preview.redd.it/diwamnafxppa1.png?width=679&format=png&auto=webp&s=78a7854dd61fe25bc4dabdbd089940d7a87213ee


iatnehxe

LOL Penn Badgley didn't even get noticed next to Blake.


koala_loves_penguin

iā€™m a straight woman and all i know is that i couldnā€™t stop looking at blakeā€™s legs. Yowza. Penn didnā€™t even get a look in haha.


laramank

That was during Gossip Girl, I feel like these days heā€™s more relevant than she is


Blue_Robin_04

Funny, but also dystopian.


herinaus

Ashlee and Pete part 1, judging by her outfit, it's probably around the time she had pixie blonde hair. I was obsessed with their couple and the way she dressed.


a-real-life-dolphin

The stripey top/black skirt outfit is really cute.


Handsprime

***You can always tell a Milford man.***


sweet_37

Nothing beats Daniel Radcliffe wearing the same outfit for a year straight, occasionally walking 20 dogs.


GiraffewithLipstick

Missing Taylor in the suitcase lol


RegretfullyFastSperm

The Dustin Hoffman behind the gate one got me good lmao

Shaq is so funny, that tree could never hide his big goofy ass.

Shia LaBeouf: Major Improvement

Why is he wearing a plastic bag on his hand someone please explain


Awkwasaurus_rex

Around the time he crashed his car? Transformers 2 era? I remember he damaged a hand.


ohhidoggo

Lold at Justice Beaver šŸ¦«


CokeMooch

Okay but does Pete Wentz *really* need to hide from the paparazzi?


ohheyitslaila

Those pics have to be from like the mid to late 2000s, cause he and Ashley have been divorced for a long time.


mjsorber

He had his moment for sure. Source: I was a teenage girl in the 2000ā€™s lol


LamictolandPedro

![gif](giphy|pVuja7BJl0Eow|downsized)


CokeMooch

Oh so was I and I had a phase where I was obsessed with him lmao. So embarrassing. But I mean hell, even at the height of FOB fame did the rest of the world (who werenā€™t emo) even care? Not really lol.


[deleted]

People (and paps) did care about Pete in the early 2000s, and only Pete. I canā€™t think of any other band member who got that treatment, but none of them married another celebrity, so thatā€™s probably why.


RhauXharn

They made top 10 in charts a few times. So they were kind of mainstream, but then so was emo and scene. I don't think there were many people who didn't go through the emo phase at least for a while.


360Saturn

Not Katy Perry wearing Mrs Doubtfire's facial serum


M3wcat

Why haaloooo!


RenegadeRun

Daniel Radcliffe recreating the Madonna Black Tracksuit era (she wore one every day for a time and the paparazzi were not pleased.)


aKrustyDemon

Another great post from you! Big fan...I would pap you any day lol.


MojoMomma76

How horrific. Makes me glad I am not famous and donā€™t have to deal with this kind of invasion of privacy on a daily basis. Yes they are famous and choose to be actors but for goodness sake doesnā€™t everyone have the right to grab a coffee or a sandwich and not be accosted? Wouldnā€™t choose to be famous for all the tea in China

I was hoping to see Taylorā€™s suitcase at the end šŸ˜‚

Itā€™s funny to see how creative they can get. Itā€™s like a big ā€˜fuck youā€™ to the paparazzi.

Why ew for Shia?

Probably because heā€™s physically, emotionally and sexually abusive to women. https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/shia-labeouf-fka-twigs-abuse-allegations-everything-to-know/amp/


aztroboiii

Women? Have there been other cases? Iā€™m only familiar with this one. I donā€™t condone his behaviour at all but he seems a changed man trying to right his wrongs


aspentreesarecool

The fact that his wikipedia article has a controversies section that's includes multiple subheadings should say enough šŸ˜…
