7 Famous People Who Were Willing To Laugh at Themselves

When you think about the characteristics that define celebrity status, phrases like massive ego, deep insecurities, and lacking self-awareness probably come to mind. The job of a famous person is to promote their brand! The typical celebrate craves attention, wants to be fawned over, and seeks to remain relevant for as long as possible. As a result, they are extremely sensitive to what others say about them. Nonetheless, from time to time you’ll discover that some famous people are willing to set their ego aside and let the world know that they’re not above making fun of themselves. Check out these 7 notable people who understand this!

1. Macaulay Culkin

For a brief period of time in the early 1990s, Macaulay Culkin was the biggest child star on the planet. Home Alone: Kevin Has the Worst Parents in the World was a huge box office success that continues to be an annual holiday tradition, much to my bafflement. Home Alone 2: Kevin’s Parents Still Haven’t Learned a Damn Thing also did well. Again, much to my utter confusion. But as with all things in life, nothing lasts forever. McCauley made the terrible career decision to stop being a kid and start growing up into the far less adorable adult that he’s become. To his credit, he’s taken this all in stride. You’ve probably seen him featured in a 2018 Google Assistant commercial where he reprises his role as Kevin. More recently, he tweeted out a picture of himself with the caption “This is what an updated Home Alone would actually look like…”: featuring a little bit of a gut and a generally sloppy appearance. Good enough to gain nearly 920,000 likes, it goes to show that Culkin takes his voyage into middle age life in stride.

2. Kylie Jenner

Kylie Jenner has 150 million followers on Instagram, so she’s obviously doing something right? In October 2019 she posted a photo of herself on Instagram that would seem to indicate that she is the new Teletubby sun. It’s sort of cute, but she’s hardly making fun of herself. So I added a unibrow for good measure.

3. Taylor Swift

Although I don’t fancy myself an expert on fashion, when Taylor Swift steps out into the public wearing something that resembles a Paddington Bear coat, my first thought is immediately going to be, “Hey, Taylor Swift stepped out into the public wearing something that resembles a Paddington Bear coat!” Who knows if that was her actual intention, but once fans begin stating the obvious, Swift decided to play along by posting a side-by-side comparison on Instagram and asking her fans who wore it better. Paddington, duh!
