39 Uncancellable Celebrities Fans Could Never Hate
Let's be real: in the age of cancel culture, some celebs definitely deserve to get called out. One wrong move, one problematic tweet from 2009, and boom — the internet has spoken (for good reason!). But somehow, a few celebs have managed to exist in a near-mythical zone of immunity.
Like, I'm certain a celeb's name just popped into your head when you read that.
Recently, we asked the BuzzFeed Community to share the celebs they think are so beloved that the internet could "literally never, ever, ever" make them turn against them. And the responses were nothing short of fascinating! Here's what people said:
"Tom Hanks."
—matthewk46357defc"Everyone says Tom is great. He is a big space enthusiast too, as I am."—neil59"We've got a friend in him."—goosethekitty
"Brie Larson."
"I was such a fan of her for years before she joined Marvel, and it bothered me so much how so many people (mostly men) tried to turn the whole world against her for quite genuinely no good reason."—wickedsun2973"I'm just disappointed that she's allergic to cats."—goosethekitty
"Taylor Swift."
"She gets so much hate for no reason. People try to belittle her music, but all they've ever heard are her radio hits. She's a brilliant songwriter and artist. And she's kind and generous."—bizzybeez"Everyone's reasons for hating her are unreasonable. Like, I see if she doesn't fit your music taste, but hating on her as a person is just not right."—sillysun252"People keep making shit up about Taylor. I think they're just a bunch of freaking whiners."—Austinb137
"Zendaya."
"She seems like a person you can just hang out with and have a really good, in-depth conversation."—icyjellyfish17
"Tom Holland."
"He is so kind and sweet to Zendaya, and the best boyfriend ever."—sillysun252
"Selena Gomez."

"Keanu Reeves."
—chevlee25"Most Canadian."—kaybee1"Most excellent."—goosethekitty
"Sabrina Carpenter."
"I don't get how anyone can hate her."—gernumbligardensi62442
"Rachel Zegler."
"She's such a positive person, a theatre kid who got thrown into the crazy world of Hollywood and has been given the short end of the stick at nearly every project. The industry picks on her solely because she's so young, kind, and passionate."—oviewankanobi
"Bad Bunny."
"He's got good music, he makes people aware about issues that go on in Puerto Rico, he's proud of his heritage, and he's a supporter of progressive causes.—goosethekitty
"Meghan Markle."
"I just do NOT understand the hate. She seems like a lovely person and her new Netflix show is exactly the hygge programming I need in this hellscape."—silkycoach893"The vitriol towards her is unjustified. If someone can't do a single thing right in your eyes, you're the issue, not them."–fiercewitch523

"Scarlett Johansson."
"Controversial perhaps, but I think she gets a bad rap. She calls out hypocrisy and stands up for herself, and all people ever do is act like she's the worst while forgiving other actors for the same sins. She was nominated for two Oscars in one year recently, and people acted like she personally refused to let any POC get nominated. It's insane."—garebehr

"She could probably kill someone and I'd be like 'eh, he probably had it coming. Now let's sing 'My Favourite Things'!'"—leahm491b1c910"She probably would get away with it, too!"—clumsysword1182
"Billie Eilish."

"Lady Gaga."
"Truly a legend."—angrycrocodile764
"Andrew Garfield."
"The way he hypes up and respects his costars, always unafraid to show love and admiration to the world around him, remains incredibly kind to the world, is constantly talking about his late mother with such beautiful sentiment, doesn't take himself too seriously, advocates for good causes, and is just a joy."—oviewankanobi
"Stephen Colbert."
"He is simply joy, laughter, and kindness in human form."—thequirkyone
"Joe Keery. Or Gaten Matarazzo."

"Evan Peters."
"My life would would not be complete without seeing him in movies, shows, and films like American Horror Story."—cadence_a
"Rebecca Ferguson."
"She seems so elegant, poised, and kind."—nicolynheft
"John Goodman."
"I'm a millennial so I grew up watching him on Roseanne. He was the everyday middle class dad who clearly loved and fought for his kids. He battled alcoholism and came out the other end that much better. Everyone who works with him loves him. He has no scandals, and has proven he's an all-around wonderful human. He doesn't get enough love."—msgoldylocks

Bella Ramsey Reportedly Eyed For 'Big' Marvel MCU Role
Bella Ramsey became a household name for The Last of Us, a live-action HBO series based on the video game franchise of the same name. Now it looks like Marvel Studios could be eyeing Bella Ramsey for a role in the MCU. As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to grow, so does its need for major stars, so it's no surprise that Ramsey's name made it to the studio's list. As shared via insider @MyTimeToShineH on X, this role would be a 'big' one for the shared multimedia franchise. With the MCU comprising both theatrical films and television, including their own Disney Plus exclusives and specials, there are endless ways Bella Ramsey could appear in a future project. And, if it's a big role, that means Ramsey could be a recurring character that might have a part to play in both movies and television. Here's what the insider shared: Bella Ramsey is being eyed for a big Marvel role. Who would you like to see them play in the MCU? — MyTimeToShineHello (@MyTimeToShineH) June 6, 2025 Of course, there wasn't much information shared beyond the fact that the role would be 'big,' so it's still unknown what part she could play if they were chosen for the MCU. However, with the studio introducing a new X-Men reboot, that potential superhero team alone could feature a number of characters suitable for Ramsey. Additionally, with a Young Avengers movie and several Multiverse-centric projects on the way, Ramsey could play a member of the titular superhero team or any number of variants for heroes that have already been established in the MCU. Ultimately, Marvel Studios could come up with any number of spots for Ramsey to fit into the franchise, so we'll have to see what happens on that front. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional Marvel Cinematic Universe updates as we have them, including whether or not Bella Ramsey could have the opportunity to play in the MCU as a major character going forward.

'Adults' star Malik Elassal: Add Canadian comedian, actor and writer to the list of comedy sensations
For decades, comedy has been considered one of Canada's greatest exports, including notable talents like Eugene Levy, Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara and the late John Candy. Adding to that legacy is Malik Elassal, who stars in the popular new show Adults (on Disney+ in Canada, Hulu in the U.S.), created by Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon). Making the move from Alberta to the U.S., incredibly skilled in hysterical stand-up comedy, with moments from his sets going viral, Elassal is set to be another of one Canada's comedy legends. And what makes Adults a great introduction for many is that the show really showcases each cast member's unique comedy strengths. "We all come from these different places, but when we come together there's something between all of us," Elassal told Yahoo Canada. "Amita [Rao] is an improviser. Lucy [Freyer] was an actor in Juilliard. But then when we come together, we sort of have our our own rhythm that's outside of improv training, outside of more standard actors training, or outside of TikTok." In Aults, a group of friends move in together in Samir's (Malik Elassal) childhood home in New York. Samir is trying, at least sometimes, to take on more responsibility in life, Billie (Lucy Freyer) is pursuing a career in journalism, Anton (Owen Thiele) was Samir's college roommate who can be friends with anyone. Issa (Amita Rao) is taking on odd jobs with her infectious personality, and she's dating Paul Baker (Jack Innanen), who she convinces Samir to let move in with the rest of the group. The show in intensely funny in a way that leans into absurdity at times, awkwardness at others, and navigates different elements and styles of comedy effortlessly, largely thanks to this impressive cast. With Elassal already receiving positive feedback from the show, he's really just happy to make people smile and laugh. "It feels like it falls in line with my love language, to give somebody this big thing and for them to enjoy it," he said. As Elassal described, a lot of the brilliant on-screen chemistry we see between this group of friends in Adults was formed by the natural evolution of the group's off-screen dynamic. "[When] we started hanging out and started being on set, you just realize that somebody has been on the same version of the internet as you," Elassal said about his friendship with fellow Canadian Jack Innanen. "We just really became close." With Samir having a particularly close frienship with Billie in the show, Elassal added that even just taking walks with Lucy Freyer and ribbing each other in real life informed what we see on-screen. Additionally, Kronengold and Shaw looked to the actors to inform their scripts. "We started to find out that things from our lives would end up in the script," Elassal said. "So we'd have takes where we got to add things in there, and that was always really fun." A particularly hysterical moment in the show is Episode 6, where Billie is hosting her boyfriend, and her former high school teacher, played by Charlie Cox, for dinner. As Billie tries to get all of her roommates in line with the hopes of a more sophisticated evening, things quickly take an unexpected and hysterical turn when Cox's character shows up high on a "pony dose" of ketamine, and Paul Baker's friend, who happens to be Julia Fox (who's playing herself), comes over for the meal. "We were block shooting the whole series, so every episode was over the span of like four or five days, or so. And usually we have different locations and we were going to different places, but ... for like four or five days in a row we're just in this house, basically," Elassal explained about that epiosde. "And I'm in this giant suit looking ridiculous and running around, and it just felt like a day that never ended." "It really kind of led into this dreary, looming feeling that the episode has. ... Charlie would show up, and then me and Charlie would have scenes together at like 2:00 a.m., after everybody went home, and he was kissing me on the forehead. It's all just very surreal. ... And then one day they're like, 'Oh, hey, Julia Fox is coming today.' ... You see my reaction to Julia Fox being on my couch in the episode, ... it's basically just how I felt." In terms of what drew Elassal to a career in comedy, there wasn't necessarily a specific "breakthrough" moment, but he can identify the time that he understood the feeling of being able to make someone laugh. "I remember a moment watching my older cousin, when I was younger, stand up and do an impression of his dad to all of the aunts and uncles, ... and him making them all laugh so hard," Elassal said. "And I was like, 'Oh, this is the coolest person I've ever seen.'" "I think something from that time might have gotten in my head of like, that's a real, worthwhile thing to do in your life, is to be able to make a group of people that happy." While a Canadian making the move to the U.S. always feels like a big professional step, it was a "culture shock" for Calgary-raised Elassal. "It's insane. It's such a culture shock," Elassal said. "You're going to the airport in America and they have signs up like, hey please don't bring your gun on the plane. And I'm like, are people doing that? Like, accidentally?" "I mean, there's a craziness to America. And it's fun to live there. But whenever I come back to Canada, I still feel at home, even though New York is home right now." As Elassal's career progresses, from stand-up comedy to TV, and even joining projects from other famed comedians, like Pete Holmes' podcast, "You Made It Weird," we certainly can't wait to see what Elassal does next. "It's unbelievable. I'm consistently so happy to get to meet all these people that I was already such a fan of, and it's amazing to get to work with them," he said. "It's such a dream come true. ... I'm really lucky that I get to have my dreams come true."
