New York City is famous for its eclectic life, busy traffic, crowds, intersection of cultures and lifestyles, and iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. The city is also home to Broadway, a backdrop for films, television shows and numerous live music venues. With the entertainment metropolis comes a city populated with famous actors, musicians and celebrities. Here are 10 stars New Yorkers see frequently.
1. Peter Dinklage
Tyrion Lannister himself has lived in New York for about 20 years. One New Yorker wrote they saw him riding a scooter around town, while another person said they saw him walking a proud dog. Someone else said that Dinklage’s children go to the same school as her children. They mentioned that he seemed a bit paranoid and nervous when he was on the lookout for paparazzi or crazy fans. Can we blame him?
2. BJ Novak
Several people recalled encountering writer and actor BJ Novak at a publishing company. Novak paid a visit to launch a book and a person who works there saw him. Another person said they made awkward eye contact with BJ Novak after waving at the comedian.
3.Tracy Morgan
By far the most popular response from the New Yorkers was Tracy Morgan. The comedian, actor and author seems to spend a lot of time exploring the city. Whether cruising around town, walking, asking for directions, or working, the star of Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock offers a friendly smile and wave
4. Madonna
The Material Girl doesn’t have the best reputation. Fans online claim that she keeps them waiting over three hours after their concerts are supposed to start and doesn’t treat people well. One disgruntled fan said: “I worked in a premier JFK airport lounge. So I saw many celebrities every day. One celebrity we all hated was Madonna. She never tips, and her entourage is a bunch of slobs. They would leave a big mess. And every time she wanted something, she would ask her entourage to order it for her. She always came across as thinking she was better than everyone else.”
5.Gordon Ramsay
On the other hand, the celebrity chef, known on screen as a cutthroat judge, has been praised for how kind he is in person. The same airport worker who despises Madonna said Gordon Ramsay is a great customer. U/DFB jokes about Ramsay: “He didn’t call me an idiot sandwich.”
6.Naomi Campbell
Those who met Naomi Campbell praised her kind spirit. The best story came from a Campbell fan who ran into her on 5th Avenue. After an authentic conversation, the fan asked for a photo and a store manager showed up and denied the photo op. A few minutes later, however, Campbell found the fan and snapped a picture with them.
7. Frank Ocean
The Coachella headliner has been spotted countless times in New York. Restaurant employees shared how nice it is to serve Ocean and to be close by. One Frank Ocean fan claimed seeing him in public was the “biggest flex”.
8.Ethan Hawke
Most people who encountered Ethan Hawke said he accidentally ran into traffic or cut them off while walking. They also wrote how he apologized and was very handsome. The Black Phone lives in Brooklyn.
9. Penn Badgley
The You actor stays true to the exploratory roots of his TV character Joe Goldberg. One person wrote they saw Penn Badgley and his family walking in Prospect Park, another had a few drinks with him at a bar, while another claimed he loves Brooklyn and Sweetgreen.
10. Drew Barrymore
Many New Yorkers see Drew Barry more often. Unanimous voters say Barrymore is friendly, bright and sweet, even to strangers and co-workers.
