Hollywood's Most Arrogant Celebrities

In Hollywood, a little self-confidence goes a long way, and a lot goes even further. An overly strong ego is practically a job requirement in the fractious world of entertainment, and the industry is full of stars who could benefit from a generous slice of humble pie (or two). Or maybe even the whole cake. Many Hollywood stars possess levels of arrogance that border on the pathological, and it's never too hard to find examples. So, without further ado, here are our nominees for the

most

arrogant

celebrities

in Hollywood. It's humiliating, isn't it? Gwyneth Paltrow In 2004, Gwyneth Paltrow earned the sidelong glance of practically everyone when she declared in Vanity Fair the following words: "I'm fucking good at my job and people are interesting and good." I know; and that's all that matters." The Shakespeare in Love actress definitely didn't stop there.

She's known for dropping hysterically haughty quotes. Some of her biggest hits include: "Sometimes Harvey Weinstein lets me use the Miramax jet if I open the door for him. a supermarket." …or telling Elle UK: "I am who I am; I can't pretend to be someone who makes $25,000 a year." ...or telling Jonathan Ross, "I'd rather smoke crack than eat canned cheese." His excessive ego hasn't gone unnoticed by anyone, earning him top honors. in a 2013 "Most Hated Celebrities" list published in Star magazine. When asked why she thought she had earned this dubious distinction, Paltrow told BBC World News: "There is a perception that I grew up very rich and that I "That didn't make her any more modest, and in 2014 she didn't win hearts when she suggested that Hollywood actress moms have it harder than

most

working moms.

She told E! News: "I think having a regular job and being a mom isn't that great. Of course there are challenges, but it's not like being on set." It's hard being Gwyneth. Faye Dunaway If almost everyone she's worked with is to be believed, actress Faye Dunaway is an absolute nightmare on and off the set. set. She reportedly channels a lot of the spirit of her most famous role. And as a real-life version of Bonnie Parker from Bonnie and Clyde, she is known for berating service industry employees on a regular basis, supposedly believing that is entitled to special treatment as a matter of principle.

In fact, an anonymous flight attendant told the New York Post that Dunaway made a scene at JFK airport when she was denied a promotion, saying, "She was yelling at everyone and saying, ' Don't you know who I am?'" While filming Chinatown, the actress allegedly threw a glass of urine at director Roman Polanski because he wouldn't let her use the bathroom. Is it true? No one knows, because asking about it led to the fiery end of Xan Brooks' interview for The Guardian. Dunaway's response was: "I'm a lady and you were completely insulting." Polanski, for her part, recorded that she, quote, "demonstrated certifiable evidence of insanity." Insiders say Dunaway was nothing short of demonic on the set of Mommie Dearest, her erratic behavior caused the film's staff to quit, and there's a list of topics that should not be brought up in her presence. "...this closet when I told you there were NEVER wire hangers!" It seems Dunaway hasn't exactly calmed down over the years either, regularly making headlines for her continuing her tirade against photographers, journalists, and anyone else she perceives as disrespecting her.

Or simply exist. ​Miles Teller There are many ways to earn the ire of the Internet, but actor Miles Teller found one particularly special one. While being interviewed for Esquire in 2015 at the Luminary restaurant in Atlanta, the Fantastic Four actor told journalist Anna Peele that the tall glass was modeled after his men's business. He then allegedly tried the same material on the waitress. It's just a disturbing morsel in a movie full of them. At one point, he quotes Teller as saying, "I was thinking that I probably think I'm prettier than the public gives me credit for." Beyond that infamous Esquire article, which Teller said was "grossly misrepresented," the actor has demonstrated a strong sense of self-worth on numerous other occasions.

In addition to sending angry text messages to the powers that be when he's passed over for leading roles, he also likes to badmouth his own movies. He told W in 2014 that he complained to his agent that Divergent "sucks" and left him "feeling dead inside," then offered the disclaimer that he only starred in the film for "commercial reasons." Meanwhile, while talking about his industry peers, he told The New York Times in 2014: "I feel like a lot of actors of my generation are not proper actors." A bold statement, to be sure, but not even as bold as his comments about his heroism. "You, you, this is incredible.

How...?" "I thought that's why you had me here. Movie aside, I thought you were honoring heroes this week." Catherine Zeta-Jones A certain Ocean's Twelve star has had enough, and you should know that Catherine Zeta-Jones won't let you shame her for being filthy rich and beautiful. She made it clear to The Mirror readers in June 2018: if you're ever inclined to despise her for marrying Michael Douglas and living the good life, she simply won't have it. "One thing I'm not anymore is humble. I'm sick of being humble. I really am. 'I'm so sorry I'm rich, I'm so sorry I'm married to a movie star, I'm so sorry, I'm not that bad looking.' "I'm not sorry.

Enough." Zeta-Jones regularly sings her own praises and brags about her wealth, and she once boasted and I quote, "A million dollars isn't a lot of money for people like us." Well then. She is also very proud of the fact that she collects high-end treasures like some people collect baseball cards, and was once quoted as saying: "Some people collect art or a lot of money. We collect houses because if we have to look at something, we prefer the view. " Still, life is not without its challenges. She shared a story with The Daily Mail in 2008 about the difficulties of owning multiple mansions, saying: "The worst thing about having all these houses is that when I have an outfit and I think it will look great with a certain pair of shoes, I remember they are in a place where I am not.

That's why I have to buy duplicates. ​James Cameron If you ever bump into director James Cameron in an airport, you might want to duck. In 2009, he was caught telling a fan to leave, but those who know him say he hates equal opportunity, with a contempt that isn't reserved just for fans. Actor Josh Brolin claims the impulsive director lashed out at him when he turned down a role in Avatar, telling Esquire: "James Cameron is calling me this name and that name. Whatever." After selling scripts for Aliens, Rambo, and Terminator in a matter of months, Cameron reportedly proclaimed that he was extraordinarily proud of not having paid for his own lunch in weeks.

And, in case you're wondering, he's also been quoted as saying that he doesn't even bother reading scripts he didn't write himself. Then there's his reaction to winning the Academy Award for Best Director for Titanic in 1998: "I'm the king of the world, wow!" His ego was still a marvel in 2010. After winning a Golden Globe for Best Drama for Avatar, he asked a room full of Hollywood bigwigs to applaud themselves for having the best job in the world. And finally, let's meditate on that notorious press interview for the Avatar DVD release, when Cameron suggested he wanted to save us all from ourselves, saying, "At this point I'm less interested in making money for the movie and more interested in saving money." ". the world my children will inhabit." Shannen Doherty According to former Beverly Hills, 90210 heartthrob Jason Priestley, on-screen sister Shannen Doherty could be a nightmare while doing the series.

In her 2014 book Jason Priestley: A Memoir, The actor claimed that Doherty's arrogance became very obvious very quickly, thanks to a 1990 trip to New York City arranged at the last minute by Fox. He apparently had trouble with the car that took her to the airport and asked him with sarcasm to a publicist: "Really? A town car? Are you sending a town car to take me to the airport, not a limo?" Priestley claims that Doherty spent the trip "complaining about the short notice, the food on board, the temperature in the cabin and everything else." Doherty has denied at least the limo part and then said he doesn't even like limos.

Not exactly. Priestley wasn't the only one to talk about Doherty's insufferable divadom. According to his book Deep Thoughts From a Hollywood Blonde, his co-star Jennie Garth She got along with Doherty, quote, "like gasoline and a match." At one point, she was supposedly so fed up with Doherty's bad attitude that the two almost came to blows, but Doherty tends to chalk it all up to completely normal female interactions. "I think when you put three girls together, three girls who are all attractive, I think there tends to be a bit of drama, you know..." If the rumors are true, Doherty's cockiness could have gotten her eventually kicked out. the show.

Producer and writer Larry Mollin told Entertainment Weekly that Doherty didn't ask permission before cutting her hair, so her new hairstyle ended up destroying the continuity of the season 4 finale. Katherine Heigl If actress Katherine Heigl can boast anything , it's his ability to generate a lot of bad press. A casual Google search yields pages of articles dedicated solely to expressing hatred toward the actress, whom she is often accused of creating difficulties for her co-workers. After working with the actress on Grey's Anatomy, Shonda Rhimes now uses "Heigl" as shorthand for "problematic talent," telling The Hollywood Reporter: "There are no Heigls in this situation.

I don't tolerate nonsense, or nasty people. No. "I have time for that." Heigl's poor reputation stems largely from her decision to turn down a second Emmy nomination for Grey's Anatomy in 2008. As she said in a public statement, "I didn't feel like I was given the material this season to justify an Emmy nomination." Emmy and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention." Page Six reports that Heigl occasionally disparages her own films and says, of Knocked Up, "it was hard for me to love the movie." Her comments were so hurtful that they prompted an official response from her co-star Seth Rogen, who said he held nothing back from her despite feeling betrayed by her words.

In 2010, she acknowledged that she may have some image issues, but was unwilling to apologize for it, telling Meredith Vieira: "I'm a strong woman and I'm not going to apologize for that. And I'm not going to, on behalf of my daughters". Kanye West Dissecting Kanye West's arrogance could swallow up your entire afternoon, especially considering that many publications have dedicated entire articles to cataloging his ego alone. After all, this is a man who was once photographed for Rolling Stone dressed in a crown of thorns and decorated with buckets of stage blood. If that doesn't say ego, nothing does.

No one can forget West drunkenly interrupting Taylor Swift at the VMAs during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video. But we also shouldn't forget the time he threw a tantrum after a music critic gave his tour a B+, the time he caught her wife posting naked photos of her on social media. And yet, there is some hope for all of us. In June 2018, West took to Twitter to announce that he had "killed" his ego. In another tweet, he revealed: "I thought my ego protected me from skeptics." Well, as fate would have it, many people somehow doubt that these claims have any credence.
