Yearbooks hand out superlatives like Most Likely to Succeed, but modern celebrities deserve their own updated categories too. These ten stars have each earned a very specific, real title based on their actual public behavior.
From internet trolling to jaw dropping fashion risks, these titles are backed by real documented moments, not just internet vibes or total wild guesses. Here are the celebrity superlatives that actually make complete sense today.
Most likely to troll the internet, Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Reynolds owns Aviation Gin and treats nearly every ad like a chance to mock pop culture. He famously spoofed a viral Peloton commercial within days, cleverly reusing the exact same actress from the original.
His marketing agency, Maximum Effort, keeps churning out parody ads mocking Netflix movies and rival brands alike. Reynolds even once wrote a fake Amazon review under a pseudonym, then confessed everything on social media immediately.
Best career comeback, Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr. left the MCU as Iron Man in 2019, a death fans genuinely thought was permanent. In 2024, Marvel shocked absolutely everyone by announcing his surprise return as the villain Doctor Doom instead.
The surprise reveal happened live on stage at Comic-Con, with Downey dramatically unmasking himself in front of fans. Avengers Doomsday finally arrives in December 2026, proving comebacks can be even stranger than anyone truly expected.
Hardest working actress, Florence Pugh
Florence Pugh released three major films in a single calendar year back in 2019 alone, an astonishing feat. Midsommar, Little Women, and Fighting with My Family all hit theaters within just months of each other.
She has kept up that relentless pace ever since, jumping between Marvel, Dune, and prestige awards dramas constantly. Pugh recently wrapped filming Avengers: Doomsday while also juggling several other major projects at the same time.
Biggest underdog story, Chappell Roan
Chappell Roan spent years quietly uploading songs to YouTube with barely any listeners paying attention at all. She opened for Olivia Rodrigo’s world tour before her single Good Luck Babe finally caught fire in 2024.
That same year, she won Best New Artist at the VMAs and earned six separate Grammy nominations too. Few artists have gone from total obscurity to award show darling quite that fast in recent memory.
Most wholesome, Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves became a huge internet meme in 2010 after a paparazzi photo showed him eating alone quietly. Instead of mocking him forever, fans eventually turned that lonely image into genuine widespread affection and admiration.
By 2019, he was already widely nicknamed the internet’s boyfriend for his quiet kindness toward total strangers. Stories about him giving up his airplane seat or helping fans only strengthened his already wholesome reputation further.
Best reinvention, Charli XCX
Charli XCX spent over a decade making music without ever quite becoming a true mainstream household name yet. Her 2024 album Brat changed absolutely everything, turning lime green into a full blown cultural movement overnight.
The word brat was later officially named word of the year by a major English dictionary. Even a presidential campaign borrowed her branding that year, proving her influence had spread far beyond music charts entirely.
Most iconic meme queen, Jennifer Coolidge
Jennifer Coolidge had a long, respected career before The White Lotus finally turned her into a genuine meme machine. Her character Tanya produced endless viral clips and screenshots throughout both of the show’s celebrated seasons.
Coolidge leaned into the internet’s newfound love for her, embracing every meme with genuine good humor and grace. She has called the entire experience a true career revival after many years of quieter, steadier work.
Most down to earth, Zendaya
Zendaya has still somehow managed to stay remarkably grounded despite being one of Hollywood’s biggest current stars today. She has openly described keeping a small, tight circle of friends she has known since literally childhood.
Even with a packed 2026 slate including Dune and a brand new Spider-Man film, she still stays private. Her costar Robert Pattinson once said she seemed genuinely, refreshingly not Hollywood at all, unlike most stars.
Funniest off screen, John Mulaney
John Mulaney is often called a comedian’s comedian, respected quite deeply by his fellow peers across the industry. His 2020 intervention was famously staged by an all star cast including Seth Meyers and Bill Hader.
He later joked openly about the star studded nature of that intervention during his acclaimed stand up specials. Mulaney now hosts a live Netflix talk show, proving his offstage humor translates perfectly onto live television.
Boldest fashion risk taker, Doja Cat
Doja Cat treats red carpets like a costume competition she absolutely refuses to ever lose under any circumstance whatsoever. At the 2023 Met Gala, she fully transformed into Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette using elaborate prosthetics.
She reportedly stayed fully in character the entire night long, only answering interview questions with a simple, deadpan meow. Few celebrities commit to a single fashion risk quite as completely as Doja Cat consistently does.
