Where to See Celebrities Most Often (Without Trying Too Hard)
Los Angeles: Still the celebrity capital of the world
Honestly, it’s kinda cliché—but also totally true. If you’re looking for celebs, Los Angeles is your best bet. I used to think it was just a myth, like, “Sure, everyone sees Leonardo DiCaprio at Whole Foods…” Yeah well, turns out that actually happens. My friend Jamie (who lives in West Hollywood) once bumped into Zendaya outside Erewhon while picking up overpriced smoothies. I know, insane.
Hotspots in L.A. where stars casually hang out
Runyon Canyon: They’re not there for the view. They’re working out. I once nearly ran into Jake Gyllenhaal—literally—on a hike. Sunglasses, hoodie, zero eye contact. Classic.
Chateau Marmont: Celebs love this place. It’s got that old-school Hollywood vibe. You might not get past the lobby, but hey, linger with a drink, you never know.
Melrose Avenue & Robertson Blvd: Shopping central. Paparazzi basically live here. I once saw Justin Bieber’s car double-parked outside some boutique. No joke.
New York City: Where fame hides in plain sight
You wouldn’t expect it, but NYC celebs blend in surprisingly well. They’re walking among us—like, actually walking. Broadway actors, models, even A-listers. They're just… around.
Where to look (without being creepy)
SoHo & Tribeca: Trendy neighborhoods = rich people = famous faces. I saw Sarah Jessica Parker in SoHo last fall. Tiny, stylish, fast walker. Blink and you'll miss her.
Central Park (early morning): Some run, some stroll with dogs. Matt Damon once passed by while I was sipping a latte on a bench (swear I froze mid-sip).
Broadway premieres or late-night tapings: I’ve queued outside SNL just for a glimpse—and once saw Timothée Chalamet leaving with a pizza box. That man really is effortlessly cool.
Cannes, France: Glamour in short bursts
Well, this one’s kinda cheating because it’s seasonal. But if you happen to be around during the Cannes Film Festival, you’ll see more celebs in one day than most people do in a lifetime.
Thing is, you don’t even need an invitation. Just hang out near the Palais des Festivals, or better yet, at the Hôtel Martinez. I tagged along with a journalist friend once—pretending to be her assistant—and we ended up two seats away from Marion Cotillard at a press thing. Wild.
London: Classy, low-key, but full of stars
I used to think the UK scene was all tea and Shakespeare. Nope. London is crawling with celebrities, especially around Notting Hill, Mayfair, and Shoreditch.
Don’t overlook these spots
Chiltern Firehouse: Everyone from Rihanna to Harry Styles has shown up there. Try the bar—not cheap, but you’re not going for the cocktails.
West End theaters: Go see a play. You might spot someone famous in the audience, not just on stage. Happened to me with Phoebe Waller-Bridge during Hamilton. She was wearing this stunning green coat, and I swear half the row was sneaking photos.
Unexpected celebrity sightings: pure luck, or is it?
Sometimes, you just get lucky. Once I was in an IKEA (yes, IKEA) in Burbank, and guess who’s next to me looking confused in front of a lamp section? Seth Rogen. We made eye contact. He smiled. I panicked. I said nothing. Classic me.
But here’s the thing—being in the right place helps, but what really matters is just… being there. Regularly. Patiently. Casually. And maybe not acting like a total fangirl the second you see someone.
Final thought: Be cool, be kind, be chill
I get it—seeing a celebrity in real life is exciting. It still gets me, every time. But hey, they’re just people. Hungry, tired, awkward people like the rest of us. So if you spot one? Nod, smile, maybe say hi if the vibe is right. Just don’t follow them into the bathroom (yes, that happened once… not me, thankfully).
And if you’ve had a weird or magical celeb encounter, tell me! I collect those stories like concert wristbands.
