Not every celebrity enjoys life in the spotlight.
During a recent interview, Robert Pattinson opened up about his life during the height of the “Twilight madness.” The actor told GQ that during that time he would hide in the trunks of cars to escape paparazzi.
Pattinson also used to trade clothes with friends and send Uber rides in different directions just to avoid being followed. He told the magazine, “There are ways to disappear, like, fairly easily. It just involves effort, and most people can’t be bothered to put the effort in.”

In a 2015 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Chris Pratt said that he wanted to leave Los Angeles to raise his son Jack, with whom he shares with ex Anna Faris. The actor told the publication, “I don’t wanna raise Jack here.” He then explained that he and his now-ex are from Washington, which is a place he’d like Jack to grow up.
He shared, “I want Jack to just be able to be like, ‘See ya buddy.’ Go outside. Come back later. And also, I like the country and clean air and things just slowed down.”

KATY PERRY
During an emotional therapy session that was aired on Katy Perry‘s WitnessYouTube live stream back in June 2017, the singer confessed that she didn’t want to look like Katy Perry anymore. “People talk about my hair, right, and they don’t like it, or they wish that it was longer. I so badly want to be Katheryn Hudson that I don’t even want to look like Katy Perry anymore sometimes, and that is a little bit of why I cut my hair,” she explained.
