The Top Ten Worst Autograph Signers Of 2014! Find Out Who Made The Naughty List This Year!
We had the best signers and most fan friendly celebrity list, but as with every up, there must be a down. Hence, we have the 2014 worst autograph signers and least fan friendly celebrities of 2014.
We culled all the MTF writers, and looked at signing habits from LA, New York, overseas, and I think it’s a pretty fair list. I’m sure there will be some people who say, “Oh no, so and so is super great!” but in reality, I think that this is a fair estimate.
But feel free to comment away.
Without further delay, check out the worst autograph signers of 2014 below!
10. Tom Hanks – While Tom was getting a little better at forcing a smile early this year, the inclusion of him on over 3/4’s of the MTF writers worst list, made it an impossibility for me not to include him. The Cast Away star may come off like everyone’s best friend, but in reality he goes out of his way to avoid any kind of fan interaction.
9. Julia Roberts – Let’s just say it’s not 1990. So then why does the former Pretty Woman think that signing a few autographs or flashing her 100 megawatt smile when she’s not being paid 20 million dollars is a bad thing? While promoting August Osage, she was so unapproachable even voters told me that they were turned off by her behavior!
8. Elizabeth Banks – What would a list of non friendly celebrities be without Elizabeth Banks? Elizabeth is notorious for being difficult and this year was no exception. I know one collector that was even dissed one on one! Doh!
7. Channing Tatum – I used to be such a huge fan of the Tatum. Sadly though, I think fame has gotten to Magic Mike, as this year, he’s been so full of himself, he barely gives fans a passing glance… if they’re male. I hear he’s much nicer if you’re a female, but not much. This year alone, I’ve seen him several times out and about and each time, we barely got a wave. Say it ain’t so Magic Mike…
6. Kevin Costner – Robin of Lockley what’s going on? The former megastar has been trying for a career resurrection hard core this year. However, he won’t give fans any love, barely looking over and refusing to sign certain items. Suddenly Susan and I saw this first hand at the Draft Day premiere and at several q and a’s he’s been downright gruff.
5. Geena Davis – Speaking of former stars, the Beetlejuice star has been out and about more lately, yet still she refuses to acknowledge the people who let her take a break from acting. At one recent event for example, she had her car drive through the 15 or so fans waiting. Not only did she not wave, or acknowledge anyone… She was texting on her phone.
4. Joseph Gordon Levitt – One of the worst signers of the past five years, what list would be complete with the the 3rd Rock from the Sun star?
3. Michael Keaton – This Birdman has always been difficult, but during the awards circuit this year he’s been terrible. If he does sign one, he’ll skip 20 people. And if you’re a Batman fan? Forget it! Stay home.
2. Edward Norton – One of the most difficult stars, Edward Norton has never been warm and cuddly, but this year he’s gotten so much worse. Ignoring fans at every stop along the promo route for Birdman.
1. Charlize Theron – The queen of the worst celebrities, save Natalie Portman. Charlize Theron glares at anyone looking for a selfie or autograph, and being with Sean Penn hasn’t helped her disposition any.
Dishonorable mentions:
Joe Mangienello, Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz, Sofía Vergara, Ed O’Neil, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Jessica Lange, Catherine O’Hara, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sofía Vergara, Ryan Kwanten, Bette Midler, Bruce Willis, Meryl Streep, Rob Lowe.
To be fair, Julia Roberts did sign at The Normal Heart premiere. She walked up from Will Call (huh?!?!) so we didn’t even see her drop. She crossed and came over and signed half a dozen and then did a few selfies and then left. So she didn’t do a lot, but she did cross when she was practically on the carpet so that was a surprise.
Wow – if Sofia Vergara was on the dishonorable mention list 6 times, maybe she should have made the top ten!
Susan beat me to the punch on Sophia. Bruce was 1 for 1 this year. Not sure if he should be honorable mention. #1 is right on!
Sofia. Stupid spell check!
So, Michael Keaton wont sign Batman stuff even if he does stop to sign ?
I know she’s not in the Top 10 or the honorable mentions.
But, is Scarlett Johansson still tough to get her to sign ?
Gotta stick up for Costner. He signed a good amount at Draft Day. I got 2 and I didn’t have to run around to get him. He was out promoting his latest film this past month, and he came right over when he arrived. I heard he even signed on the way out. My friend even got a photo opp with him. Kevin is cool in my book. So sayeth DVD Dave!
And Elizabeth Banks? How can someone who has done so little of merit have such a tremendous ego? How is her body able to move about under the weight of that massive head?
I agree with Joe Mangienello. He came to Dallas and if you were a male you were ignored. He took pics with females only pretty much
Imagine having to deal with entitled fanboys on a daily basis interrupting everything you do. Grow up. These people clearly don’t want to be bothered by juvenile nonsense. Who gives a shit about autographs anymore?
Yeah Sean I’m sure it’s so hard to live the life of tom hanks and Julia Roberts. They have it so hard…. Poor poor them!
95% of the folks on the worst/dishonorable mentions list I wouldn’t camp out to see anyway. It is discouraging to see someone like Meryl Streep on the list though.
Everyone’s different though.
You guys are ridiculous. Clearly you all hate Tom Hanks. He makes your worst list every year even when he’s not out. Why aren’t Natalie Portman Sean Penn and Robert Redford on your list?
We’re ridiculous, yet you come to the site every year to check out the list.
Hmmmmmmmm……
Well, I saw Tom Hanks over five times in 2014.
He was the ONLY person, as I think I mentioned, that he was the only person that 3/4 of all the writers of the site picked.
That’s some damn good odds, he’s not very nice.
“Why aren’t Natalie Portman Sean Penn and Robert Redford on your list?”
Natalie now lives in France, with her kid and “Black Swan” husband. She didn’t have a movie to promote in 2014, that’s why she wasn’t on any of the lists. Maybe some time overseas will make her more receptive to being fan-friendly in the future.
Apperently you care about autographs Sean since you are visiting, reading and taking the time to comment on a website dedicated to getting autographs from celebrities.
Steve Martin is so rude in person. I said hello to him when he was in Chicago ( long time ago). What a jerk ! 😉
Never asked for anything! Miserable person. His career is long over, yet he should be grateful that the ” little ” people payed for him to enjoy his riches. Scumbag.
Makes $ off working people and in return, treats you like garbage. Michael
