Being famous has its perks, but there’s also a downside: paparazzi. These photographers follow celebrities everywhere, from malls and restaurants to the parking lot, down to their homes. They claim they’re just doing their jobs, but sometimes things get too intense, especially when celebrities don’t want to be followed. There’s such a thing called personal space and boundaries, you know. We’ve seen countless Hollywood stars react negatively to these photographers to the degree that some of them end up in altercations. In this article, though, we’ll be capturing a few public figures who reacted brilliantly. Check this out:

Mark Wahlberg

The Entourage actor called on his entourage to take revenge on the paparazzi. Mark Wahlberg and his friends all lifted their camera phones and took a shot at his stalking photographers. You’d be lying if you won’t admit that their move made you laugh!

Alec Baldwin

We all know Alec Baldwin hates the paparazzi, and he’s been pretty vocal about it too. We’ve seen photos of him having meltdowns and run-ins with photographers, but this time, he beat one. We bet you can guess what happened next— he called his lawyers to settle the matter.

Britney Spears

As her song goes, Oops!… I Did It Again! Britney Spears loves to spill her drink on the paparazzi, which has been happening a few times already. We hope the cameramen should learn by now never to annoy the Princess of Pop, or else they get all wet.

Daniel Radcliffe

If you were a celebrity, what would you do if you caught a paparazzo flashing his camera on you? In Daniel Radcliffe’s case, he stuck his tongue out. The renowned Harry Potter actor opted to poke fun at the photographer, despite the inconvenience of disrupting his meal. To his credit, he looks adorable in this photo.

Alec Baldwin (again)

Hiding under the blanket is probably Alec Baldwin’s best solution against the paparazzo problem. Well, we couldn’t stop him from having this ridiculous but brilliant idea. We’re amused, to be honest. However, we wonder where he got this white blanket.

Benedict Cumberbatch

Benedict Cumberbatch is actually brilliant in real life, holding a Master’s degree, and so he had a brilliant way of avoiding the prying paparazzi. He wrote out on a piece of paper these words, “Go photograph Egypt and show the world something important,” and showed it to them. It’s such a creative idea, don’t you think?

Katy Perry

The 36-year-old singer tried to hide by covering her entire skin—the result: camouflage Katy. She wore a cap, sunglasses, a scarf covering her face, sweater, pants, and shoes. This way, no one could recognize her. Good job, Katy!

Leonardo DiCaprio

Whatever film Leonardo DiCaprio stars in turns into a blockbuster. The same goes when it comes to being spotted by the paparazzi. The flooring actor hides with whatever he had available within his reach. In these photos, he covered his face with a fedora hat and an umbrella.

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield

Before they broke up, Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield proved to the world how witty they are. When they noticed some photographers interfering with them, they wrote out the charities they’ve been supporting to spread out the word. If this doesn’t impress you to a vast degree, we don’t know what will.

Kesha

If you don’t have anything with you, like Leo DiCaprio and his umbrella, try using a person as your cover. Yes, you read that right. Kesha was walking casually on the streets, and when she began to see paparazzi, she hid behind her non-celebrity boyfriend.

You’ve Reached The End
