Famous Introverts

1. KEANU REEVES

Believe it or not, Time magazine dubbed Keanu Reeves as "Hollywood's Biggest Introvert" in 2005, which is why he is #1 on this list of famous introverts. Despite being one of the biggest names in Hollywood, Keanu is one of the only stars to not own a mansion, not wear fancy clothes, and not have a bodyguard. In fact, for one of his birthdays, Keanu bought himself a cake at a bake shop, started eating it alone, and would offer a piece to fans that came up to him. This is why the nickname "sad Keanu" started, when in fact Keanu isn't constantly sad, he just likes to do things alone.

2. AUDREY HEPBURN

Even after her death in 1993, Audrey Hepburn continues to be an amazing role model to women everywhere. She has even been quoted in saying, “I'm an introvert...I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.” She was a beautiful and amazing actress who embraced the fact that she was happy being alone sometimes. She is a great woman to look up to, especially nowadays with certain celebrities getting DUIs, fighting in bars, and stealing. (Sadly it sounds like I'm only describing Lindsay Lohan!)

3. J.K. ROWLING

I feel like most successful writers need to be strong introverts as most of your time needs to be spent, alone, in front of a computer or notebook. So it's no wonder that J.K. Rowling is a self-proclaimed introvert! She was able to become so in-tune with her thoughts and ideas that she created an entire wizarding world for everyone to enjoy! Because of this, being a writer is actually a great way for introverts to capitalize on their inner strengths as they tend to express themselves better in writing than speaking.

4. ALBERT EINSTEIN

Score a big point for introverts as they have one of the smartest men ever falling into their category! When it came to being "passionately curious" while also finding a perfect balance between love of solitude and humanity, Albert Einstein was the master. Einstein once said, "When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking." By this he meant that introverts (like himself) tend to be deep thinkers and can come up with surprising connections between seemingly unrelated things. This is why people in the field of science do well having traits of an introvert.

5. JOHNNY DEPP

Even though he is one of Hollywood's biggest heartthrobs, you won't see much of Johnny Depp in those celebrity gossip magazines we love to read. Johnny Depp comes off extremely shy in his interviews and in his actual life he tends to shy away from the spotlight, which is why he moved to France. I even read somewhere that he never even went to any parties during his teens and 20s! I feel like being more of an introvert helps Depp to really portray his characters in a way many other actors can't do. He is more in tune with feelings and thoughts and can put himself right in this other character's world easier than most.
