Will Smith
At fifty-six years old, he is one of the most recognized stars on the celebrity scene. Throughout his career, he has managed to carve out an image of a good guy that has accompanied him even in the worst rumors. He snuck into our homes nearly thirty years ago as a cheeky and funny but big-hearted teenager from West Philly trying to find his place in a society of well-to-do wealth.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air gave us Will Smith in a decade in which being a rapper who was a good kid was not the most fashionable thing. But between his face of never having broken a plate, the criticized naive lyrics of his songs, and the charismatic character of his best-known character, he managed to win a place in the hearts of thousands of people around the world. His musical career stagnated, but he continued in the cinema, with roles that interspersed humor with drama and life lessons, the two facets that also impregnate his most personal side.
His Instagram is full of family photos, inspirational videos, and memes. In addition to this general good attitude, his commitment to social and charitable causes places him in a privileged place to receive the love of fans; and how can we forget the touching video on the red carpet at the Aladdin premiere in which he tells two excited girls that he is the Genie incognito and introduces them to Princess Jasmine (Naomi Scott).
Anne Hathaway
Can we blame Anne Hathaway for being so perfect?
Thousands of people did it around 2013 and forced the actress to stay away from the spotlight for more than four years. Being a "hatha hater", as it was known at the time, was almost a fashion. The actress was on the crest of the wave, appearing in all major productions, was almost recurring in SNL sketches, hosted a - terrible - Oscar gala in 2011, and, won one herself two years later.
Anne Hathaway haters accused her of not being authentic enough
The public could not bear it. She was so pretty, so tall, so elegant and charming. She exuded talent and grace wherever she went and never showed any signs of weakness or clumsiness. What might have made her an object of utter admiration turned against her, branding her false and theatrical; she wasn't authentic enough. She admitted that her much-revealed thank-you speech at her Academy was a bit forced -“She's come true!” but can we really blame her for displaying such false modesty? Would the public have treated her better if she had shown her ambition and her satisfaction at receiving the statuette?
Taylor Swift said it in her last album: "If I went around flaunting my money, she would be a witch, not a winner." And it is that double standards affect celebrities of all fields, but the truth is that Anne Hathaway must be one of those actresses that she is happy to interview. She never has an answer out of place or a bad gesture. Not to mention her ability to overcome all that hate for no reason, which she included in a gag rapping with James Corden on his Late Late Show. The "Hatha haters" have no excuse for continuing to curse her, who has earned a place on this list.
