Hollywood is known for its glitz, glamour, and larger-than-life personalities. But sometimes, those personalities come with a side of arrogance. Here are four stars who have made headlines as much for their ego as for their talent.
1. Faye Dunaway: Diva of Divas
The iconic actress from films like Chinatown and Network has a legacy that spans decades. But her off-screen behavior has also earned her a reputation as one of Hollywood’s most difficult stars. Stories of her on-set tantrums and diva demands are legendary. From demanding cold water during her time on Mommie Dearest to allegedly throwing a cup of urine on a crew member, Dunaway’s attitude became as infamous as her acting.
2. Miles Teller: The Young Gun with an Attitude
Miles Teller might be a talented actor, but humility doesn’t seem to be his strong suit. Known for his roles in Whiplash and Fantastic Four, Teller has often rubbed people the wrong way with his cocky attitude. He once told Esquire, “I feel like I’m better-looking than the public gives me credit for,” which didn’t help his image. His brashness and confidence may have fueled his career, but they’ve also given him a reputation for arrogance.
3. Catherine Zeta-Jones: Graceful, but Not Humble
Catherine Zeta-Jones may carry herself with elegance and poise, but behind that charming exterior lies a personality that’s been called a bit too self-assured. The Oscar-winning actress has openly admitted, “A million dollars isn’t a lot of money for people like us,” referring to her and husband Michael Douglas. Statements like that don’t exactly scream humility. Zeta-Jones’ lavish lifestyle and sometimes dismissive attitude have landed her on the arrogant list more than once.
4. Gwyneth Paltrow: The Goop Guru of Arrogance
Whether it’s her controversial Goop products or her comments on living a life that most people can’t relate to, Gwyneth Paltrow is no stranger to the arrogance label. From promoting $400 yoga pants to suggesting that she was one of the first to wear a face mask in 2020, Paltrow’s sense of superiority has often overshadowed her acting career. Her infamous “I’m who I am, and I can’t apologize for that” attitude has turned many fans off.
