Let's face it: It's almost impossible to be a celebrity in the year 2021 without attracting some internet hate. Sometimes that hate is deserved, sometimes it's not — but either way, it's bound to happen when you're in the public eye.
HOWEVER... There are a select few celebrities out there who've seemingly achieved the impossible: They have basically zero haters. These people are so universally beloved that even the worst internet trolls can't touch them.
Well, a recent viral Reddit thread asked people to name some of the most unhateable celebrities in Hollywood...and boy, did they deliver. Here are some of the top responses:
"Rick Moranis. The guy stopped acting to take care of his kids after his wife’s death."
"Maggie Smith. Professor McGonagall is the most underrated Harry Potter character in the series. She is so funny, even when she is strictly serious! But I mostly praise Maggie Smith for her line delivery in general."
"IF YOU HATE JULIE ANDREWS...why."
"Dolly Parton! She’s so cool. How could you hate on someone who isn’t a billionaire because they keep donating so much to charity?"
My icon.
"Someone said Jim Henson. I 100% agree… you can never go wrong with Sesame Street or The Muppets."
"One of the best things of 2020 is we didn’t lose Betty White."
Pls we have to protect her at all costs.
"Dev Patel. Seems like the most lovely of people and everyone who works with him sings his praises."
"Chadwick Boseman. Fucking legend. Every Marvel fan loved that man."
Rest In Peace.
"I love how Danny DeVito can play some vile characters but his personality outside of them can overshadow that and make you a fan."
"OMG Danny DeVito I love your work!"
"Robin Williams. If I found out someone genuinely hated him as a person and it wasn’t just a 'don’t care for his movies' situation (which still seems unheard of) I don’t think I’d be able to continue knowing that individual. That’s just a red flag." 🚩🚩🚩
"Jack Black. He's probably one of the top 10 happiest human beings. He always looks like he's enjoying himself the most, which is amazing."
"Cher. Icon, queen, and a rich man." 👑👑👑
"LeVar Burton. He made an appearance at the US Department of Education during Obama's administration. A whole room of young kids, & he read Shel Silverstein's 'Peanut Butter Sandwich' (with the king who's mouth got stuck) in his perfect Reading Rainbow voice. It gave me chills."
And finally...
"I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone with a bad story of Daniel Radcliffe." ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Unproblematic fave

“It was really important as I’ve worked with the Trevor Project for more than 10 years, and so I don’t think I would’ve been able to look myself in the mirror had I not said anything." buzzfeed.com/larryfitzmauri…
Daniel Radcliffe's made it no secret that he doesn't stand with J.K. Rowling's anti-trans beliefs.
In June of 2020, the actor and Harry Potter star published an open letter on The Trevor Project's website, stating that "trans women are women."

If you're currently job hunting, chances are you've found yourself at your wit's end of the application process. They can be long, tedious, and often times you don't even get a response back.
Which is probably why this résumé "hack" is currently re-circulating around Twitter.
The hack is called "white wording," and it's a trick designed to outsmart most companies' Applicant Tracking Software. The software is designed to sort through job applications and choose the ones that align best with the job description.

You know Glee — you love Glee.
One of the classic TV show's more memorable (for all the wrong reasons 🥴) characters was glee club director and teacher Will Schuester — or Mr. Schue — who was played by Matthew Morrison.
The episode seemingly boiled Mexican culture down to sombreros, maracas, tacos, and "Juan" jokes. buzzfeed.com/angelicaamarti…
Earlier this week, Prue Leith took to Twitter to announce that the Great British Bake Off's theme for their next episode would be "Mexican week."
Yeah, yikes 😅
It's not that I don't think it's possible to do an episode like this with appreciation and respect for the culture, but I was fairly certain that wasn't the direction #GBBO would be going.
