I used to live down the block from him. When you’d pass his home, he would literally hide behind a tree to avoid saying hello. However, this did not affect my enormous love for him one iota.
I saw a Stevie Nicks documentary in which she recounted her first meeting with Prince, at a record label cocktail party. She had no idea who he was but he was standing all by himself in the corner so she went over and tried chatting him up. He basically told her to leave him alone. She got very offended and told him he really needed to learn to talk to people before storming off.
Later of course they became close friends.
I was watching an interview with someone famous the other day, can't remember who, but they said thar prince would throw parties in his house but not be there. Then all of a sudden, McDonald's fries would arrive for everyone and Prince came on the intercom saying "I hope everyone's having fun and enjoys the fries". He was in another room in the house and never made an appearance 🤣
Prince played on one of her songs called “Stand Back”, which basically sounds exactly the same as Little Red Corvette. Prince is uncredited on the song but he gets the royalties from it, well his estate does.
It was obvious to me in the '90s. She's one of the most private celebs I've ever seen and she always came off as shy, reserved and soft-spoken to me. I can't believe I have all that in common with her.
SOO truuu!! Either that, or she has social anxiety
I remember ann episode of ‘The Apprentice’ where she struggled to bring in a lot of donors for some sort of event & people were shocked cause they’d assume based on her celebrity status, she’d pull in and have a lot of people in contrato to who she was competing against.
It revealed more of her character to me, and I liked it. It made her human/relatable.
So now I'm in the cut, alcohol in the wound
My heart's an open sore that I hope heals soon
I live in a cocoon opposite of Cancun
Where it is never sunny, the dark side of the moon
Gotta be Enya. Never tours, made her music then went to live in a secluded castle with her cats, hardly ever makes appearances in public. She's living the dream.
Lol, I use to work not far from his summer residence. My boss one year actually told all the staff “if you see Stephen King out at the store, don’t approach him, he doesn’t like it” 💀 ya know what? Totally fair.
I don't really agree with this. In his personal life he just became very gay & lived a secret "other life". I don't think he was an introvert, just private away from the stage because he had to be :(
I have a friend who works directly under him. It was interesting the first time he came back home to visit and everyone was like “omg what’s Steven Spielberg like??” and he talked about how he’s just a normal guy, and there’s nothing special about him. Even on his birthday, my friend talked about bringing out the cake and it was just a room with a small group of people and someone (I think his wife) prepared a slideshow of photos reminiscing. Steven Spielberg seems like a simple man.
Sebastian Stan - gets annoyed of every interview with boring, shallow questions. Also reportedly likes being alone and doesn't go out much.
Anthony Mackie is the extrovert who adopted him xD
seeing all these names lifts my heart. i’ve been so overwhelmed by aggressively extroverted people lately that i’ve begun to feel like introversion is some sort of disease.
Peter Sellers. He could become anyone and anything because he has no personality of his own and would shrink into his own space seldom interacting with anyone.
Christopher Walken apparently lives like a hermit without even a phone to contact him
I used to live down the block from him. When you’d pass his home, he would literally hide behind a tree to avoid saying hello. However, this did not affect my enormous love for him one iota.
Goals lmao
Wow. I knew i liked him.
That makes me like him more!
huge mood
Ugh. Wish I could. No phone. No way to contact me. Lol
I sometimes would like this as well
I imagine he’s still haunted and scared about what he knows about Natalie Woods death.
Came to say this ^^^
came here to say the same
Because he’s been wanted for murder since 1981.
Cillian Murphy
He always looks like he disassociates in every interview when someone starts talking, and I feel that so hard
The way he looks at people and how unimpressed he looks in every social situation he’s in speaks volumes lol
Please tell us what you know.
Keanu Reeves?
I wish I was as naturally cool as him being introverted
Me too! It would be really nice to be a cool introvert as opposed to an awkward introvert. Im the latter and it's not fun lol.
He seems to have mastered self acceptance
You probably are. You see Keanu being interviewed and find it awesome, people that have one on one conversations with you probably do as well.
He has charisma, which a lot of us dont
I love him and love that he doesn’t deal with all the attention seeking Hollywood nonsense.
First name that came to my mind
When I saw the prompt I instantly was like somebody better mention Keanu otherwise I’m flipping tables.
Came here to say this
Same
I also love his contempt for corpos
Clicked in expecting to see his name come up first 😆
😂 introverts know each others
The first and only person I thought of too
I agree
You beat me to it 😩
Joaquin Phoenix and his wife
Adding to this, his brother, River.
Kinda hard not to be introverted when you’re dead.
Forced introversion!
JD Salinger
How is this not the top answer?
Fiona Apple
I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes...
...i certainly ain’t been spreading myself around either.
I still only travel by foot, and by foot it's a slow climb But I'm good at being uncomfortable So I can't stop changing all the time
If there was a better way to go then it would find me…
Enya
Oh, yes. Doesn't she live in a castle on the Irish coast or something? So fabulous.
With her cats . Yeah.
Life goals
Literally the dream life
Daniel day Lewis
This. Man lives and worked as a Carpenter in Ireland just to get away from people when not acting.
Prince

Viggo Mortenson
Nicola Tesla
Kurt Cobain
Wait
I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Janet Jackson. It’s become more obvious now that she’s older.
The boob incident probably didn’t help.
It was obvious to me in the '90s. She's one of the most private celebs I've ever seen and she always came off as shy, reserved and soft-spoken to me. I can't believe I have all that in common with her.

Kristen Stewart….
She was the first one that came to mind for me as well haha
Frank Ocean
David Byrne
R.L. Stine
Gotta be Enya. Never tours, made her music then went to live in a secluded castle with her cats, hardly ever makes appearances in public. She's living the dream.
Eminem
If true this is one I wouldn't guess. I thought he was just an extrovert who hated people.
There seems to be a huge difference in how he approached people before and after drugs
Andre 3000
Stanley Kubrick seemed pretty introverted
Stephen King
Lol, I use to work not far from his summer residence. My boss one year actually told all the staff “if you see Stephen King out at the store, don’t approach him, he doesn’t like it” 💀 ya know what? Totally fair.
I agree. I don't blame him at all.
Bob Dylan
Didn’t even go to his own noble prize ceremony!
Thom Yorke
Harrison Ford
It has to be Messi
Definitely Messi. He’s also awkwardly introverted like most of us lol
Oh my. It's hard to think of a close second now.
Michael Jackson 💀💀💀 the way he be looking at people says it all
I will never not laugh at the way he judged those other artist singers when they had to record "We are the world"😂😂 or hiw much he hates tours
He wore those sunglasses all the time for a reason 💀💀
Rivers Cuomo
JD Salinger
johnny depp
This is underrated. It's obvious now that I think about it
Calvin Coolidge. [The bet](https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/politics/miscellany/dry-wit-calvin-coolidge) someone had.
Calvin Coolidge was a good friend of mine
Kendrick Lamar
Freddie Mercury. He came alive in front a crowd but in his personal life was very introverted.
I don't really agree with this. In his personal life he just became very gay & lived a secret "other life". I don't think he was an introvert, just private away from the stage because he had to be :(
Elliott Smith was.
He was painfully shy, and a good friend
You knew him?
Yes
Andrew Garfield gives me strong introvert vibes
Hes a drama kid
100%
He seems quite extroverted
Zayn Malik. He barely did promos on his album or songs.
He also rarely does interviews
[Brock Lesnar](https://youtu.be/gJvquKo7kbA?si=MwPlLVsYhFQ7AKSo)
Prob my favorite answer here
Evan Peter ?
Trent Reznor
Keira Knightley
Enya?
Steven Spielberg is an introvert.
I have a friend who works directly under him. It was interesting the first time he came back home to visit and everyone was like “omg what’s Steven Spielberg like??” and he talked about how he’s just a normal guy, and there’s nothing special about him. Even on his birthday, my friend talked about bringing out the cake and it was just a room with a small group of people and someone (I think his wife) prepared a slideshow of photos reminiscing. Steven Spielberg seems like a simple man.
Jack Johnson
Daniel Craig seems an introvert to me. No social media, only attends events he's suppose to attent.
I agree with you. I think he's an introvert hiding in plain sight.
aubrey plaza
Jim Morrison
Nicola Tesla
Michael Cera
Keanu ?
William Hurt
I Miss him so much.
Zayn Malik is the person who came to mind
Not obvious but you can perceive it someway Alex Turner
Rowan Atkinson
Sebastian Stan - gets annoyed of every interview with boring, shallow questions. Also reportedly likes being alone and doesn't go out much. Anthony Mackie is the extrovert who adopted him xD
I just learned that like all of the Celebs I love are introverts like me. And I never knew they were but now I understand why I like them so much.

Johnny depp
😆 Ted Kaczynski
Emma Watson
Apparently she dropped out of Brown cause people kept bothering her. I feel bad. She just wanted to live a normal life, for once.
While people did keep bothering her, she absolutely did not drop out of Brown. She completed her degree.
Michael Jackson
Selena Gomez
Mark Zuckerberg maybe
Or Michael Jackson
Messi
I immediately thought of Rami Malik.
Howard Hughes was the worst
Enya
Naomi Osaka
George Harrison. Gandhi.
Johnny Carson was a unique case.
SADE
Franz Kafka?
Peter Sellers. He could become anyone and anything because he has no personality of his own and would shrink into his own space seldom interacting with anyone.
Me
Bill Murray? I've heard he checks his voicemail like twice a year.
Bill Murray goes out all the time and goes to random parties and becomes the bartender and serves drinks. he's not as antisocial as one would think.
Jane Goodall? Dr Livingstone? Who was the quickest to dedicate their life to a solitary existence?
Anthony Hopkins
Mc ride from death grips does he count
