While she’s far, far, far from the first celebrity to join Instagram, one of Hollywood’s biggest holdoutsOne week ago, Jennifer Aniston broke the Internet.
While she’s far, far, far from the first celebrity to join Instagram, one of Hollywood’s biggest holdouts finally caving after resisting the urge to join the social media platform for years caused the Internet to fully lose its mind. (Of course, The Morning Show star choosing to share a Friends reunion selfie has her first post definitely helped.)
However, there are still some famous celebrities who are not on Instagram and have no plans of joining anything soon
EMMA STONE
Why She’s Not: “I think it wouldn’t be a positive thing for me,” Emma, 30, told Elle in 2018. “If people can handle that sort of output and input in the social media sphere, power to them.”
Will, She Ever Crack: Given how private Emma has been throughout her career, we don’t see her starting an Insta anytime soon, though if any project would lure her to the platform is could be Disney’s live-action Cruella. Still, don’t hold your breath.
BRAD PITT
Why He’s Not: His life is just fine without social media, thank you very much for asking.
“Never gonna happen,” the 55-year-old star, arguably the most famous man in the world, told E! News this past summer. “Well, I never say never. Life’s pretty good without it. I don’t see the point.”
Will He Ever Crack: In a word? No.
JENNIFER LAWRENCE
Why She’s Not: Well, technically she is on it, but as a “voyeur,” telling InStyle, “I watch, I don’t speak.” Still, she has no plans of ever starting a public account on any social media platform. “It’s because the internet has scorned me so much that I feel like it’s that girl in high school that I’m like, ‘Oh, you want to talk about her? Yeah, I’ll do that!’ Take my hoops off, I’m ready to go,” she said in 2014.
Will, She Ever Crack: We don’t see this happening, at least not publicly. But stalk away, J-Law!
ROBERT PATTINSON
Why He’s Not: We’re pretty sure the Twilight hysteria and fandom around Edward Cullen caused the actor to want to protect as much of his private life as possible. Understandable, right?
“I’m old and boring,” he joked to People of why he doesn’t have an Instagram account. “And I only have abs, like, two weeks a year.” (He has admitted to Googling himself, telling Variety he was nervous he lost out on the Batman gig when the news that he was the frontrunner was leaked.)
Will He Ever Crack: Can a modern Batman NOT be on Instagram? That is the question the 33-year-old will have to answer when The Batman comes out in 2021.
KRISTEN STEWART
Why She’s Not: “I’m not totally engaged socially,” Kristen said this summer at the Venice Film Festival, “but I feel like I’m not hiding.” After her rapid rise to stardom during the Twilight era, the star felt the need to “protect” herself for years. While she now feels “unguarded” and likes having an “interaction” with people, “It doesn’t mean I’m going to start a public Instagram and start yelling at people.”
Will, She Ever Crack: If she didn’t join to promote the upcoming Charlie’s Angels reboot she’s the lead and marquee Angel in, then no.
SANDRA BULLOCK
Why She’s Not: The Oscar winner has given two explanations in the past. In 2018, she told InStyle she’s too lazy to be active on social media, explaining, “I’m not ignorant of what’s happening out there. I look over people’s shoulders, going, ‘What is that little vignette of a cat on a fan?’ I’m just lazy.”
But in 2016, the Ocean’s 8 star said she “hates” talking selfies, telling The Times, “I will not take a selfie that I can’t erase. I don’t post or do any of that stuff.”
Regarding her anti-selfie stance, Sandra said, “We’re not representing our lives truthfully. Like when you’re yelling at your child, you’re not taking a selfie of you being a horrible parent. No, you’re waiting for the perfect selfie. ‘Do I look thinner now?’ ‘Do I look great?’ It’s this false projection of one’s life. Hollywood has now gone global. Everyone’s Hollywood now.”
