Emma Stone Makes Signs For Charities
Being in the spotlight isn't always as glamorous as it seems, especially when you're stalked day in and day out. Imagine a life where every time you stepped out the door, you're image had to be flawless from head to toe. With tabloids using tricks to exploit fame, it only makes sense that celebrities retaliate with a little game.
Some as simple as hiding behind an oversize Luis Vuitton purse, while others go to as far as hiring body doubles. From Shia LaBeouf, to Benedict Cumberbatch and Leonardo Di Caprio, the pictures below will make you realize that even the most serious actors can sometimes see the funny side.
Daniel Radcliffe Wears The Same Clothes For Months On End
Emma Stone and former beau, Andrew Garfield were spotted several times while out eating lunch together holding up signs they created to promote charities such as Worldwide Orphans and Autism Speaks. Kind of makes you sad to see these two awesome humans broken up.
We have to give it to Daniel Radcliffe for this one, what a simple solution to make for useless paparazzi photos.
Taylor Swift Walks Backwards
While back in London, he dodged the paparazzi by putting on the same jacket and hat every time he left the theatre during the six month of production for the play, Equus.
Swift has been spotted with her personal trainer hiking backwards just to hide her face from paparazzi. She was also seen, as you may have already watched, walking backwards in the parking structure of her friends home.
Kim Kardashian Fakes Paparazzi With A Look-Alike
Way to go T-Swift, interesting technique and backwards walking skills!
We all remember the time Kim Kardashian called the paparazzi on herself, but now she's willing to spend $800,000 just to hide herself! Photo shows Kardashian on the life and her hired look-alike in Punta Mita, Mexico while on vacation.
Shia LaBeouf's Infamous Brown Paper Bag
Nice try Kim!
Recognize this tactic? This isn't the first time Shia LaBeouf has used the brown-paper bag as a paparazzi dodger.
Benedict Cumberbatch Uses Paper To Hide His Face
At the 2014 premiere of Nymphomaniac, Shia LaBeouf covered a brown- paper bag over his head that said, "I am not famous anymore." We'll give him points for creativity, but wearing a paper bag over your head to a black tie event is probably not the smartest way to avoid attention.
No need for an explanation here Cumberbatch....
Benedict Cumberbatch Continues To Get Creative
We much rather see photos of Egypt too.
Jaden Smith Dresses Up As Iron Man
Not much of a disguise, but we give him a B+ for sense of humor!
Jaden Smith has always been known for his eclectic sense of style, but we're still not sure on the meaning behind this silly disguise. Back in 2013, Smith dressed up in an Iron Man costume with his old fling, Kylie Jenner while on a public outing.
Justin Bieber's Infamous Face Masks
Not so sure this disguise will last more than once, buddy.
Bieber has it pretty hard when it comes to hiding in the spotlight, whether it be from the crazy amount of crazy, tween fans chasing him around or the typical paparazzi. So what does he do to "disguise himself" from the public eye?
Katy Perry's Doughnut Pillow
Masks wearing is his thing, he's been spotted in a gas mask, a gold mask, a V for Vendetta mask, and a Chanel ski mask.
She may be known for her eccentric fashion sense, but when she appeared from Miami International Airport with a giant stuffed doughnut pillow...fans and paparazzi weren't fooled one bit.
Leonardo DeCaprio
She laughed it off and removed her doughnut pillow as she signed autographs for fans.
Leonardo DiCaprio has many years of practice, so you'd assume he would have some more complex tricks up his sleeve other than hiding under the hood of his sweatshirt.
Blake Lively Making Use Of Her Bouquets
But DiCaprio appears to generally go for the easiest solution, or the by using whatever he has on hands (umbrellas, bags, masks) to hide behind the lens.
Harry Styles As A Nerdy Elephant?
We bet Penn Badgley never imagined the beautiful bouquets he bought Blake Lively would be used as a paparazzi shield.
Madonna
Not really sure what look Harry's going for here, but we hope he can breathe in that mask!
Gwenyth Paltrow Hides Behind Her Purse
Madonna hides behind a shawl with her children, Lourdes and David on her way out of the Kabbalah Centre in New York.
Typical A-List celebrity move right here, hiding behind your oversized Chanel tote.
Pharrell Williams As Spongebob
Not the most creative of the bunch, but her consistency is on point!
Robert DiNero Hides Behind Tablecloth
Pharrell, thank God you have a sense of humor because you aren't fooling anyone!
DeNiro uses whatever is accessible in order to dodge the paparazzi, even if it mean stealing a table cloth from lunch.
