These are the Celebrities People Say They Absolutely Do Not Want to Be Stuck Next to on a Plane
Not everyone's a dream seatmate—just ask the internet.
We've all dreamed about bumping into a celebrity while flying—maybe sharing a row with Ryan Gosling or trading snacks with Beyoncé. But what about the other end of the spectrum?
A recent thread asked: 'Which celebrity would be the worst person to sit next to on a long flight?'
And oh boy, people did not hold back.
Here are some of the most unfiltered (and hilarious) responses.
1. Tom Hanks?
We weren't expecting America's Dad to make the list, but one person warned, 'Never travel with him.'
To be fair… they might have a point. Between Cast Away (plane crash and island survival), The Terminal (trapped in an airport), Sully (emergency water landing), and Captain Phillips (hijacked at sea), it's safe to say Tom Hanks has a rough track record when it comes to travel.
Honestly, if he boards your plane, you might want to get off.
2. Donald Trump
Several people immediately mentioned Trump, with one clarifying, 'I don't know any of them personally, but I'd feel uncomfortable sitting with Trump.' Fair enough.
3. Literally Any Kardashian
Apparently, there's no room for glam squads and contour palettes in coach. 'Anyone ever named Kardashian,' one commenter wrote. Harsh, but ok.
4. Will Ferrell
Comedic legend or in-flight nightmare? One commenter said simply, 'He'd get on my nerves!'
We love Elf as much as the next person, but I guess six hours of Buddy the Elf energy at 35,000 feet might just push someone over the edge. Maybe save the holiday cheer for after landing.
5. Pedro Pascal
This one feels like a personal attack. But hey, I guess not everyone wants to sit next to The Mandalorian for six hours? (They can switch seats with me!)
6. The Cast of
"Anyone on The View," one person said bluntly, and many others agreed. We'll just leave that there.
7. Tom Cruise
His name popped up more than once. Maybe it's the intensity? The stunts? The Scientology? Whatever the reason, several people said they'd rather not be trapped in a middle seat next to Mr. Mission: Impossible.
That said, if the plane suddenly needed an emergency landing and someone to sprint across the wing midair… he might actually be the best person to have nearby.
8. Kid Rock
One commenter guessed that Kid Rock might not exactly bring 'fresh linen energy' to the cabin.
To be fair, not everyone's ready for full rockstar vibes on a 6 a.m. flight.
9. The Rock
Not because of logistics. 'He's so big he wouldn't fit in an economy seat,' was one of the most popular answers. Respectfully, that's... kind of valid.
10. The Charmin Bears
Yes, the cartoon toilet paper mascots. 'Can't stand them,' one commenter confessed. But hey, at least they would have good toilet paper?
Not all celebrity encounters are nightmare fuel; some stars are beloved both on-screen and in the aisle seat.
