5 Celebrities Who Claim to Still Use Public Transport

These 5 celebrities all say they often still use public transport! They may be huge stars with millions in the bank, but they have no problem catching the subway or jumping on a bus and even think it’s easier to get around that way, avoiding the traffic and quickly getting them where they need to be: even if they’re on the way to discuss their latest big film role! They believe it helps make them feel normal and keeps them grounded to behave like everyone else in the world so they often call off the chauffeur and instead rely on the subway to take them to their next destination. It may not be glamorous but they say it keeps them sane and makes them feel like they aren’t living in a Hollywood bubble.

Dev doesn’t feel like a celebrity so often uses public transport to get around, however he is always shocked when people recognize him: “I’ve been meeting all these people I’ve watched for years on TV, and they actually know who I am. The other day I jumped on the tube, and all the faces in the carriage turned my way. I can’t get used to that, man. I’m still pretty much a normal kid.”

Jude Law

Jude says that he has tried to make his life as normal as possible: “I’ve created a haven that  works for me and my family. I still enjoy a very normal life with my kids. We use trains and busses and that’s often the best way. If you build up some sort of psychological bubble around you, I think you’re asking for trouble.”

Kevin Bacon

Kevin says that public transport in the quickest way to move around so he often jumps on the subway and distracts himself by playing games: ”I take the subway every day. It’s the fastest way to get around New York City. When I’m on the train, I play Solitaire, Angry Birds and Backgammon on my phone.”

Matthew Morrison

Matthew often uses the subway in NYC to get around even though it makes him nervous: ”I’m back in New York for a while, and I guess I’m nervous about the subway. I just want to make sure I still remember how to get around. I got lost yesterday, and it was nerve-racking tying to be the great New Yorkers that I once was.”

Tom Hanks

Tom says he can sneak on to the subway unnoticed because no one ever looks around: “Nobody looks at anybody on the subway. Occasionally someone might give you a thumbs-up, and you nod. But the city is magnificent as far as that brand of easy anonymity. You just fold right in.”
