Stars – they’re just like us! That’s actually the name of a popular column in celeb gossip rag US Magazine. But it turns out that celebrities really are exactly like us, especially when they’ve been stripped of their stylists, high-profile star status, and even their jobs.
While being stuck at home during quarantine is no fun, it’s a lot easier to feel better about our own situations when we can watch our favorite celebs de-evolve right before our eyes into an everyday schmuck.
So if you want to lift up your spirits during these trying times, then check out how these 40 “star-stuck” famous people are dealing with #stayathome orders by living a totally ordinary life.
1) Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga may look bougee when she hangs out with her dogs on her couch. But, other than that, she’s just like the rest of us and wishes she could see her family.
“So I talked to some doctors and scientists. It’s not the easiest for everyone right now but the kindest/healthiest thing we can do is self-quarantine and not hang out with people over 65 and in large groups. I wish I could see my parents and grandmas right now but it’s much safer to not so I don’t get them sick in case I have it. I’m hanging at home with my dogs. I love you world, we’ll all get through this. Trust me, I talked to God —she said we’re gonna be ok.”
Beauty billionairess Kylie Jenner doesn’t exactly come across as an ordinary girl. But how she captioned her own photo will clue you in to just how average and boring she really is.
Victoria Beckham certainly spices up the world with her good looks and her fab clothing line. But she’s just like one of us when it comes to getting cuddling with our pets.
“Even our pets feel unsettled x Let’s take the time to show them love too x We love u Fig xxx What are u doing to make ur pets feel loved?”
Pop star Selena Gomez may have a humongous celebrity-sized kitchen, which most of us can’t really relate to. But, she admits to feeling embarrassed taking selfies of herself cooking, which we can all agree is something that would make us feel pretty silly too.
“Trying to take a cute/serious pic of me cooking but then felt embarrassed so I’m using the candid where I look so happy but I really feel kinda cheesy.”
Actor Timothée Chalamet would get fired if he ever got caught sleeping on the job like this. But, he proves he’s just an ordinary guy for, well, sleeping on the job!
Normally English songstress Dua Lipa would have a team of people at her beck and call to make her look gorgeous onstage. But when she’s stuck at home, she reaches for a regular headscarf to cover up a bad hair day.
Turns out Alicia Keys is self-conscious about her outfits, too. When there aren’t any stylists around to tell her how great she looks, she’s turns to her friends for validation, just like we do!
Ariana Grande may be a superstar and earn the big bucks, which sets her apart from the crowd. But, she’s exactly like every young woman out there who is trying to impress the world with how great she looks in bed.
What does American Horror Story actress Emma Roberts do when she wakes up to yet another morning of “nothing to do but stay at home?” She brushes her teeth and practices good hygiene, just like we all (hopefully) do!
Christina Aguilera’s fur jacket may not be standard fare for the average American girl. But the comfy sweat pants and tee are totally on the mark.
“A reminder that we’re doing it for ourselves, our families, for the elderly, the babies, the immunocompromised, our sick neighbors, our grandparents, our parents, our brothers, sisters, idols, rivals and friends. We’re doing it for everyone who can not, who are risking their lives to fight for ours.”
Martha Stewart has already proven that she’s just like us when she spent some time in jail. But she takes that a step further by sharing some beauty advice, we we all tend to do with our girlfriends.
“Cleanse your skin well and moisturize morning and night. Tinted sunscreen is good all day and lipgloss of course! Apply masks two or three times a week!”
Actor Mark Wahlberg is just another famous celeb when he’s at work. But when he’s at home, he’s just a regular schmuck who reaches for a Hawaiian shirt and lap dog to unwind.
Zoe Saldana and her hubby Marco Perego like to spend Saturday afternoons at home just like the rest of us. And how do regular couples spend their quality time together? They put on each other’s makeup, of course!
Actress and Honest Company founder Jessica Alba has an honest beauty about herself. Instead of prancing around in full makeup, she prefers the simplicity of mud masks (her own brand, of course) and plush headbands.
“#workfromhome #conferencecalls @honest using @honest_beauty face masks -Detox on T-zone and Prime+Perfect everywhere else”
This celeb couple has no problem showing off their more down-to-earth side. Having a face mask party with your partner is about as real as a couple can get!
“Nothing better to do but celebrate #dryhumpday with some moisture masks, couples style. Xo #stayhome #staymoisturized @morehetime @get_rael”
Halle Berry has problems getting out of bed in the morning just like the rest of us. But instead of binge watching Tiger King on Netflix, curling up with a good book is her favorite quarantine game.
“No better time than now for an #HBBooksFromBed #HouseArrestRead… This one is an epic – rooted in the addictive beauty of nature and the powers that bring us together in advocacy. Fair warning, #TheOverstory by #RichardPowers makes you feel just about everything and will need your full attention. Let’s get lost.”
Demi Moore may be one of the most beautiful 50+ celebs out there, but thanks to the quarantine she’s gone back to being a regular stay-at-home mom. And what do moms like to do with their kids? Put them to work on a photo album, of course!
“Quarantine crew… working on a family photo project.”
Arnold has spent a lifetime playing the role of Terminator, California Governor, and six-time Mr. Olympia bodybuilding champ. But now he’s content to live a more quiet life as a regular ol’ farm boy.
“Former Mr. Olympia, Conan, Terminator, and Governor of California. I killed the Predator. I told you I’d be back.”
Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown is probably surrounded by a lot of strange things on the set of her hit Netflix show. But when she’s at home her life is filled with puppies, which is totally normal.
“this is the perfect time to be with our families and fluffy friends. self isolation is v important. social distancing is v important. let’s protect the people that hold our history. stay safe n im sending my love.”
Spanish tennis pro Rafael Nadal is a superstar on the court. But when he’s at home, Rafael is serving up some love in his role as an everyday home cook.
“Hello everyone! Here I am again … today it is also time to cook for me and my wife … to see if you know what I was doing … the answer later … 😉 I hope you are all well and at home taking care of yourself. Strength and courage.”
Yes, Hillary Duff is supposed to be a blonde! But just like everyone else who is going crazy from not being able to go to the salon, she’s taken to dying her hair at home, too.
Tennis queen Serene Williams wears some of the hottest outfits when she’s on the court. But when it comes to relaxing at home, she’s all about the comfy jammies that we all secretly wear 3 days in a row.
“I’ve been staying at home and practicing social distancing. I want to make sure I’m doing my part during these uncertain times. Your actions matter and to #stayathome is one thing we can do to flatten the curve. Thank you @voguemagazine and Anna for raising awareness to make sure we take care of one another, even if it’s from your couch. And thank you to all who are out there taking care of us outside of your own home.”
Many celebs like Busy Phillips are now having to homeschool their kids. And when it comes to PE classes for her little girl, she finds that yoga is the most fun to teach!
Rapper Cardi B always looks glamorous when she’s out in public. But when no one is watching, walking around the house with a bath towel around her head is all she needs to feel good about herself.
Will Smith has been front and center at a lot of Hollywood movie premieres. But when he’s not on the red carpet, he’s just a regular guy who likes to nama-stay-at-home by watching pretty girls do yoga online.
Actress Elle Fanning usually looks fab when she’s all dolled up for a red carpet premiere. But now that pretty much all of Hollywood has been furloughed, she’s just a regular girl with a messy bun and Band-aids.
Actress and dancer Jenna Dewan has all the right moves when she’s on the big screen. But when it’s time to settle in at home, baggy sweats and “best mom” tees are totally her thing.
Comedienne Ali Wong is normally a stand-up, presentable kind of gal. But when quarantine hits, she’s a LOL mess!
“I’VE GOT EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL”
32) Halsey
Pop singer Halsey is usually quite recognizable when she’s out in public. Now she looks exactly like us after spending two straight days in bed with the remote!
This one is a bit unfair because Chris Pratt is actually a down-to-earth kind of guy. He’s a dad who likes to read books out loud to his kid. The only thing that kind of sets him apart is the fact that his famous wife authored the book!
Even when she lets her hair down, Julie Roberts is still very bit the Pretty Woman she portrayed her breakout role! But without a team of stylists to do her hair, it looks like she’s decided to embrace her natural curls – and she’s encouraging her famous friends to do the same.
“Verified #IStayHomeFor The terrific @petesouza tagged me and I’m so glad! During this unique and tender time #IStayHomeFor : My ♥️Family, For Small Businesses, For all the health care workers fighting around the world, For my amazing 95 year old neighbor. ❤️ I stay home to be part of the solution. Everyone, stay home. It is the right thing to do. ✅. I challenge my beautiful friend Jen @jenniferaniston and my amazing niece Emma @emmaroberts and my remarkable pal @therealaliwentworth to share why they stay home.”
One Direction boy-bander Liam Payne is used to maintaining a certainly svelte look when he’s out and about. But now that he’s gotten used to staying at home, he’s also gotten used to letting his hair do its own thing.
Rapper Sean Combs went from Puff Daddy to P. Diddy to just Diddy during the length of his long career. But thanks to being stuck inside his house, he’s now looking more like a P. Daddy homeboy!
What does Ryan Reynolds like to do when he’s following stay-at-home rules? Well, letting himself go grey and in that distinguished nerd sort of way seems to be at the top of his list.
“Are you sick and tired of fashion? Is your mother-in-law hunting you? Visit: conquercovid19.ca and help those who REALLY need you.”
She helps other people with their 9-1-1 emergencies on her hit Fox TV series, but now that she’s in quarantine Jennifer Love Hewitt may be having one of her own. A hair emergency, that is!
Actor and comedian Jim Carrey is usually a lot more clean-shaven than this. But when there’s no one around to make him look handsome, it’s just easier to let nature take over.
“Day 13. Starting to look like the Trivago guy: a bestubbled, transient loner who just wants to help you find cheap online travel packages. Someone should check on the Trivago guy.”
