Some movie stars are known for being wonderful in person: like Hugh Jackman, Matthew McConaughey, and Kristen Wiig. With that being said, you can't say that about every actor and actress. Some of them aren’t so nice in person. In fact, they’ve gained a reputation for being some of the meanest people you could meet, despite their on-screen persona being much, much different.

You know what they say: never meet your idol in person. In some cases, we’d have to agree. We’ve made a list of 50 people who are incredibly loved but are actually huge jerks behind the camera. If you come across these people, it’s always best to keep walking and avoid asking them for their autographs. You never know what will happen! Some may ignore you, while others will berate you using foul language.

Are there any celebs that you thought were incredibly nice but turned out to be super rude? Let us know!

Candace Cameron Bure has had a pretty wholesome career; audiences grew up with her as DJ Tanner on Full House, and she's starred in more Hallmark romcoms than anyone else in the game (aside from maybe her former Full House costar, Lori Loughlin, whose reputation has also taken a turn...). She's pretty outspoken about her conservative Christian values, so one would think she'd be friendly in person.

But not so much—at least if you ask JoJo Siwa! The YouTuber called Candace the "rudest" celebrity she'd ever met in a recent TikTok, which ended up going viral. The two met at the Fuller House premiere in 2016 when Siwa was around 14 years old. According to Bure, who called JoJo and then divulged the intimate details of their conversation in a five-minute-long Instagram video, JoJo was referring to Bure refusing to take a picture with her at the Fuller House premiere, it wasn't that deep, and all is well.

  • Jennifer Aniston's star-defining role on friends started a hair craze in the 90s that even lasted into the early 2000s. Called "The Rachel," Aniston's shoulder-length haircut had grown-out bangs and highlights styled to perfection. A hairdresser in Detroit noted that at the peak of its popularity, 40% of her business was devoted to recreating "The Rachel." Too bad that it was notoriously difficult to maintain on your own at home.
  • While attending the Grammys in February 2000, Jennifer Lopez stepped out in a green Versace dress that instantly became a phenomenon. The barely-there ensemble had a dramatically low cut that came below JLo’s belly button. It became such a talking point that it was Google’s most popular search query up to that point, and it spurred the company to include images into search results. It became the motivation for Google Images.
  • After her role as First Lady came to an end, Jackie Kennedy went into the publishing business. She became an associate editor at Doubleday and worked mostly on autobiographies.

  • In February 2020, Jeff Bezos bought the most expensive property in California: a $165 million mansion. It was designed for Jack Warner (the former president of Warner Bros. entertainment company). It took a decade to construct (spanning the 1930s and 40s). It comes complete with 9 acres of Beverly Hills land, a main house, a guest house, a tennis court, a golf course, and terraces.
  • Björk created a media sensation when she wore her iconic white swan dress to the 2001 Oscars. At the time, many derided it as hideous and a publicity stunt, but it has since gone down as one of the most memorable dresses of all time—even if it isn't exactly beloved. She says David Bowie was the inspiration behind the dress.
