The Bold and Beautiful Celebs Who Shared Their Unedited Bare Faced Selfies on Instagram

Instagram will have you believe that everything is fantastic in everybody’s life, except yours. This popular app allows its users to feature (and boast about) time spent in elegant cafes, extravagant restaurants, and exotic holidays. Needless to say, we don’t tend to share awful hair days via social media.

Parents are familiar with the saying, “No matter how old you are, when a little kid hands you a toy phone, you answer it!” Even superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson demonstrates this as he mounts his famously large frame on an exceptionally little mechanical boat ride with his little girl.

We owe it to our parents to accomplish something that will make them proud, to compensate for all the stress we put them through as kids. Bruno Mars did this for his mom when he snagged his secondary school diploma. 

Everyone we know has had a bad hair day at least once in their lives. Actress Jennifer Garner didn’t hide her unfortunate hair malfunction, but instead, she turned it into a meme for the ages… or at least a great meme for her huge Instagram following. 

Feeling adorable, might delete later, right Timothée? A sentiment we selfie-takers know well: A quick snap of self-appreciation that calls for a sneaky little post. A bed-headed Timothée shared a risky snap to the delight of his millions of Instagram followers. 

While regularly dazzling fans across the globe with her beauty, charm, and talent, this lunchtime scoop illustrates that slurping pasta does (without a doubt) put us all on Selena Gomez’s level, elegance-wise. It’s a comfort to realize that the extremely sloppy art of eating spaghetti leaves even the prettiest of us looking absolutely off-kilter.

Countless times, we’ve talked ourselves out of getting into an exercise routine. Will Smith gave us a brief look into his stay-in-shape battle as he shared a photo on Instagram expressing, “[I’m] in the worst shape of my life.”

Have you felt anxious about your old 90’s photographs resurfacing? Kim Kardashian made a bold move by posting a flashback to a time that would wrench up the wince factor in the majority of us if it was one of ours. She commented that this was the day she was grounded for taking part in “borrowing” her mom’s car for a road trip.

Of all of Billie Eilish’s famously detached expressions, this particular image is one we can all relate to: being exhausted from a long, tough day of work. Whether it’s a recording studio, a bookkeeping firm, or a racetrack, the workplace takes its toll on all of us. 

Truth be told, when we imagine Shawn Mendes spooning, an avocado doesn’t usually enter into the equation… but we’ll take what we can get, and what we got was this extremely cozy Instagram snack.

Italia Ricci needs no professional help when it comes to repair work. Like many of us, when something needs to be done well, she does it herself. While she took care of the problem, the job wasn’t without its losses. She left us with a caption: “In loving memory of my manicure.”

Kate Beckinsale gathered a group of adorable cats and dogs during a bikini waxing session. The actress jokingly remarked, “… this bikini wax I just got drew a bigger audience than at least four movies I have done”. 

We understand the need to eat more greens. Why not just ask social media to redefine the word “salad” as Reese Witherspoon did?

Working remotely has given us all insight into what kind of things our pets get up to while we’re hard at work. Indeed, even A-list celebrity Arnold Schwarzenegger gets no rest from his giant animal companions when they need attention.

Ask, don’t reach for the vegetables. No talking with your mouth full. Try not to lick other people’s food. Singer Zara Larsson either forgot her manners, or she was way past hungry. Here she is launching her tongue at sweet, succulent oyster meat.

Is it finally time for us to treat our hair to a well-deserved wash? We’ve asked that countless times. Ali Wong shared some insight into the last time she asked that question of her hair.

Regardless of how famous (or ordinary) we are, we all have to take care of our skin. Sometime after rubbing her face in her dog’s coat, Millie found two pimples glaring back at her in the mirror. As well as confiding in her massive fan base, she also let us in on an industry skincare secret. 

When Ed Sheeran’s good friend, DJ Khalid, hit one million subs, he took a moment to toast him with a glass of wine. He performed the toast with a little too much vigor, however, as captured by this compelling frame:

Russell Brand tends to embrace the whimsical side of life. Here’s a close-up of his face scrawled with vibrant lines and colors. Initially, we thought it was part of an initiation ceremony into an obscure spiritual group of some kind. 

Kaley Cuoco has charmed herself to us all through her acting profession for being marvelously funny. As such, we’ve discovered we share much more of the silly with her, as proven by an Instagram post of her sitting leg over leg on the floor encompassed by half-eaten food.

Ashley Tisdale helps us to remember two important facts about life: you have to take care of yourself, and a woman’s work is never done. We sympathize with Ashley, here by the pool in her swimsuit, carrying a child in her left arm and an empty cup of momma fuel in her right. 

Actress and filmmaker Lena Dunham opens a new era of Instagram foodie photography. She seems frozen in delight as she savors a falafel wrap in a London cafe. We too know the joy of comfort food. 

Surprise! It looks like Courtney Cox’s eyebrows are triple-thick. Was she getting ready for a role as a two-bit birthday entertainer perhaps?

It may be extremely boring, but voting is also important! Even if it feels like the two-party system is really just a one-party system with two heads, it’s easier to push for change when we make our voices heard through voting.

Although washing machines were revolutionary devices, not everyone has access to one in their home. It seems that poor Hugh Jackman isn’t making enough to afford one these days, with his example of a laundry mishap that presumably took place at his local laundromat.

Every one of us has donned a duck face at some point. Isla Fisher struck a somewhat ape-like pout and had the courage to put her selfie next to an image of a very delightful baby orangutan! How cute! 

Academy Award winner Julianne Moore posted a video of her glam process for her first Insta reel. The short clip shows Julianne carefully working her fingers across a facial mask.

While plenty of kids will have gone out these past few years as a certain giant purple titan, the actor behind the motion-captured Thanos, Josh Brolin, opted to do the reverse. He decided to de-age himself for real to an age that he presumably believes is an appropriate one for trick or treats.

It’s always weird going back to the place you grew up in. Regardless of whether it’s years or months, a trip to your old neighborhood can draw nostalgia from even the toughest souls. 

Many people get judgemental when you walk up with your Crocs. All in all, they’re just accessories that keep your feet clean and safe while you walk, but many see them as the ultimate fashion faux pas. 

We have been big fans of The Office since season one, and the finale certainly put a tear in our eyes. We weren’t alone. Jennifer Garner was also there with us, figuratively speaking.

Mindy Kaling asked her followers on Instagram to “Let me know you’re a parent without letting me know you’re a parent!”. 

Wearing a mask in public now is like wearing pants in public. It’s only decent. Many people spend more money than we make in a year on a good pair of pants. Why can’t facemasks be trendy too? Here Elle Fanning demonstrates that they can be!

We’ve all been there: covered in mud by the roadside, holding on to a bottle of warm water, crying for help in an unfamiliar place. It happens to us all. Here’s Hailee Steinfeld revealing how she deals with getting coated in wet dirt.

Sometimes in bed, when you look up at your spouse from a comfortable position, you notice something about them that you’ve never seen before: the big fat booger sitting on the rim of their nostril. You reach for it in rapturous anticipation… 

Do you too have too many pillows but not enough princess outfits in your wardrobe? Anne Hathaway has you half-way covered. We guess this dress would need a little more double-sided tape than usual. 

All of us were really kids once. We also once had hopes and dreams. Many of us imagined ourselves performing on stage or appearing on the big screen as big-time movie stars. 

It’s usually a good idea to put on makeup before you hit the town. In this case, Kendall and Kyle had a good time putting their makeup on after getting back home from a big night out. They had fun entertaining their Insta-followers by whipping up an impromptu makeup tutorial!

It’s not quite like facing off against a horde of Dothraki, but it’s a terrifying prospect nonetheless: falling to the Earth with nothing but a parachute on your birthday. He’s Emilia at her most frightened:
