Celebrities often try to connect with their fans by showing a relatable side of themselves, but sometimes, things can go awry. In this video by WatchMojo, we see 10 instances of celebs failing to be relatable, ranging from humorously awkward to cringe-worthy moments.
From Bill Gates struggling to guess grocery prices to Kylie Jenner buying a school bus for her daughter, these moments showcase the disconnect between the lives of celebrities and the average person. Jennifer Lawrence scratching an itch on sacred rocks, Ellen DeGeneres comparing quarantine to jail, and Madonna claiming the pandemic was an equalizer are just a few examples of celebrities missing the mark when trying to connect with their fans.
While some of these instances may have been well-intentioned, they ultimately came off as tone-deaf or out of touch. Whether it’s Bella Hadid lamenting her lack of designer items growing up or Gwyneth Paltrow failing the food stamp challenge, these moments serve as a reminder that not all attempts at relatability are successful.
So, which celebrity do you think tries a little too hard to be relatable? Let us know in the comments below. And remember, while celebrities may try to show a down-to-earth side, sometimes it’s best to just let them be the glamorous stars we admire from afar.

Of the empty bus seemingly taking in all its Glory it was perceived by many as a wait for the celebrity couple to cosplay as normies without having to actually live like them while it is great that they did something nice for their daughter it wasn’t interpreted as the relatable parenting moment they thought
