Celebrities Who Are Incredibly Shy

Ciara

Not all star’s stay shy. When Lil Jon first met singer Ciara, he said “She was this shy, quiet girl in the studio. She was 17 years old when we started working together. She is a woman now.” Do you think little Future will inherit his mother’s shy streak?

Kim Kardashian

Even reality stars say that not all fans know the real them. Kim Kardashian famously quipped,

“I’m the girl who’s too shy to dance in a nightclub—maybe for one song, and then that’s it. The real Kim is very shy and reserved and not outspoken and loud like everybody assumes she is.”

Lady Gaga

Is Lady Gaga one of the biggest personalities in the music industry? Or is she fairly reserved underneath all of the makeup? Gaga says,

“I might not be shy with people that I know but with people that I don’t know I am very shy… I always feel shy in the Hollywood scene. I feel a bit like I did in high school, like I don’t really fit in.”

Wentworth Miller

Miller fans were so eager to see the Prison Break hottie dating that they started to wonder if he was gay.

But Wentworth admitted that it’s not that he’s not interested in women, he’s just too shy to approach them.

Zayn Malik

One Direction star Zayn Malik has a reputation of being the bad boy of the group, but he says he’s not brooding, he’s just shy:

“I think my reserved personality is sometimes taken the wrong way and that’s why people just perceive me as a bad boy whereas I’m actually just a little bit shy and awkward.”

Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley says she may shine on stage, but she’s a wallflower at the wrap party:
“I am crap at parties. I tend to sit in the corner. I’ll sit in the corner and find one person to talk to or I’ll go on the dance floor and get quite drunk.”

Zendaya

Zendaya says that she was so shy as a child that her parents were worried:

“I was really shy, like, to the point where my parents would go to like counselor meetings for shy girls to try to get me out of it. I didn’t like to be in front of people, so I would just watch.”

We’re glad she finally grew out of it.

Robert Pattinson

Robert’s extreme shyness was the reason he was cast to play Edward Cullen in Twilight. But being shy wasn’t always a perk for teenage Robert Pattison.

He says that in highschool he “didn’t have any self-esteem,” but he did have a crush on a girl that he was “obsessed with” for years but he never talked to her because he was so shy.
We bet she’d be interested now…

Paula Patton

Despite growing up right across the street from 20th Century Fox film studios in Los Angeles, Paula didn’t get her first acting gig until she was 28.

She says being shy and self-conscious about her skin kept her out of the spotlight:

“I was shy, and acting did not seem like a solid profession. I had terrible skin all through college, I kept my hair in my face. I wouldn’t take a photo, and I couldn’t look anyone in the eye.”

Kristin Davis

The Sex And The City star gets so nervous in front of the camera that she turned to alcohol to help her cope with her nerves. But after Kristin’s drinking got out of hands, she quit cold turkey and found other was to deal with her shyness.

Ella Fitzgerald

Shy celebrities are nothing new. The First Lady of Jazz may have been a powerhouse on stage, but in person she struggled with he self confidence.

She once famously said,

“I’m very shy, and I shy away from people. But the moment I hit the stage, it’s a different feeling. I get nerve from somewhere; maybe it’s because it’s something I love to do.”

Kristen Stewart

Robert Pattinson isn’t the only Twilight star picked because he’s shy.

Kristen Stewart says her minimal smile only makes her look like a mean girl. Really it’s just nerves:

“In real life, I’m very shy. I feel uncomfortable during interviews because I need to talk about myself. But to talk about yourself, you have to know who you are.”

Miley Cyrus

What’s behind Miley’s wild and crazy stage behavior? According to Miley, it’s a whole lot of shyness:

“I was always kind of shy when I would go into new places and I would fake it really well because I’m very loud, so I would just think if I cranked it up, turned my voice up, I wouldn’t come off nervous.”

Michael Jackson

The king of pop may have been the shyest celebity of them all. Singer Christine Decroix once said of him,

“He is a very sensitive and terribly shy man. When he doesn’t know people, he doesn’t dare talk to them. He doesn’t dare even look at them. So in the first instance we can believe that he is rude, While he is quite the opposite.”
