Facebook, Twitter and Instagram can be a great way for celebrities to reach fans and promote films, shows and albums — but some celebs avoid it altogether because of trolls who post mean comments or because of the sheer amount of contact, which becomes too much to deal with. Here are nine celebrities who keep it old-school and don’t use social media at all:
9. Kristen Wiig
Bridesmaids star Kristen Wiig would likely have a lot of funny observations to share with fans on Twitter, and we’d certainly love to see crazy photos behind the scenes of her movies — but no such luck. “Kristen is not on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Myspace or any other social networking website,” says a post on her very minimal website. “I try to separate who I am, privately and publicly,” she said in an interview with NJ.com. “Sometimes you sort of walk around feeling like you know how to navigate this crazy business, and sometimes it’s really difficult. I like being sort of private.” She also doesn’t want you to take her photo: “The hardest thing for me is cameraphones; that’s really tough for me,” she said. “You know, back when we didn’t have them, it’d be sort of strange if someone whipped out a camera and stuck it in a stranger’s face and now it’s not. I don’t like that at all.”
