INFAMOUS CELEBRITY MELTDOWNS





There's a reason why private life is called `private'. However, this thought is inevitably overlooked when it comes to celebs. Since they work in the public domain, their personal lives arouse great curiosity among the masses and media alike.While most actors in the west are relatively outspoken, not all are as cool as a cucumber.There have been quite a few instances that go on to prove that certain actors are not to be trifled with. 

 

ROBERT DOWNEY JR

ROBERT DOWNEY JR
Act: Walks out of an interview with a TV journalist
What prompted the rage: Personal questions about the actor's infamous past and drug abuse
Incident: Known for his swag, the Iron Man was not amused when a British journalist showed doubt over the actor's claims that he is off drugs. He asked if Downey is now “free of taking drugs and drinking and all of that.“ RDJ retorted, “I'm sorry , I really don't... what are we doing?“ When the journo seemed persistent, the actor smiled, got up and waved goodbye. On taking the mic off, he told the interviewer, “It's just getting a little Diane Sawyer in here.“
Background: One of the highest paid actors in the world, RDJ is unapologetically snarky . While the actor has spoken about his troubled youth -drinks, drugs, debauchery , prison and rehab before, he didn't think it was right to rake that up, while promoting a superhero film (Avengers: Age of Ultron), which has a huge fan following among kids. He justified the decision, “I just wish I'd left sooner. I'm one of those guys where I'm always kind of assuming the social decorum is in play .“ 

RIHANNA

RIHANNA
Act: Calls a journalist `menopausal mess'
What prompted the rage: The reporter criticised Rihanna's bad-girl persona
Incident: Rihanna took revenge to another level, when she posted a picture of a journalist and captioned it as “sad sloppy menopausal mess.“
The journalist had criticised the singer, describing her as, “Pop's poisonous princess: Glorying in drugs, guns and sleaze, Rihanna's toxic role model for her army of young fans.“ In her statement, the singer said, “My money got a bad habit of pissing people off!! If you sincerely wanna help little girls more than their own parents do, here's a toxic tip: don't be amateur with your articles, you sound bitter! That's a sad sloppy menopausal mess!!! “Role Model“ is not a position or title that I have ever campaigned for, so chill wit dat!“ Background: Not the one to take things lying down, the singer who's no stranger to controversies, often hits back at those who put her down. 

TOM HARDY

TOM HARDY
Act: Shuts down a journalist at the Toronto Film Festival press conference
What prompted the rage: Journalist questions the actor's sexuality
Incident: Quite an eccentric personality , the talented Brit actor lashed out at a journalist, who asked him about his sexual orientation at a recent press conference, where the actor was promoting his forthcoming film Legend. “Do you feel celebrities find it hard to talk to the media about their sexuality?“ asked the reporter. “What on earth are you on about,“ replied Hardy . The reporter mentioned the actor's 2008 interview, and Hardy asked, “But what is your question?“ The reporter repeated his previous question and Hardy said, “I don't find it difficult for celebrities to talk about their sexuality . Are you asking about my sexuality?“ When the reporter nodded, the actor retorted “Why“ and quickly added “Thank you“ as a way to shut the topic.Background: Though the open forum may not have been the right place to ask that question, it was legit, given Hardy's 2008 interview, where his quotes implied that he may have had relationships with men when he was in his 20s. When asked if he'd ever had any sexual relations with other men, the actor had said in the magazine interview: ` As a boy? Of course I have. I'm an actor for ****'s sake. I'm an artist. I've played with everything and everyone. But I'm not into men sexually . I love the form and the physicality but the gay sex bit does nothing for me.“

Incident: During a one-on-one interview for her film Cinderella, when a TV reporter jokingly suggested that he should have brought beer to the junket --Blanchett sternly told him, “I do not drink beer.“ She then tried to steer the interview back to Cinderella. This didn't help much as the reporter went on to ask a `serious question' about “How were you able to get that cat to do what you wanted to on a leash,“ referring to Cate's character's pet. The actress lost her patience by then and curtly asked, “That's your question? That's your f****** question?“ She ended the interview saying, “Nice to meet you.“
