Jessica Alba: Storming Social Media
Jessica Alba. We know and love her for her incredible action-packed performance in the Sin City, Dark Angle, and of course, the Fantastic Four series. But during these times of quarantine, the film superstar has been playing a different type of hero on a different type of screen.

Rockin’ her role as super-mom in the kitchen and hanging out with her kiddos, she’s also taken up quite a liking to posting pictures and videos on Instagram and Tik Tok. From make-up and self-care tutorials to dance videos, mama Alba and her cubs have been storming over the internet with some hilarious entertainment!
Emma Watson: Who Are You Staying Home For?
Emma Watson became famous for her spectacular role as Hermione in the Harry Potter. From becoming a big star at 10-years-old, she continued on with the entire series for practically a decade! Now that she’s matured and grown into an amazing person, she’s known for both her acting skillset on-screen, as well as, her philanthropic activism off-screen.

At the beginning of the quarantine, she posted an endearing and powerful message advocating for everyone to stay safe and in their homes. The post read: “My grandma is over 70, so particularly vulnerable… My Mum is a type 1 diabetic and my best friend is a health care professional. #Istayhomefor them. Who are you staying home for? Sending love. E xxx”
Idris Elba: One World Together at Home
Many people have used this epic pandemic as an opportunity to remind themselves that no matter who you are, at the end of the day we are all just as human as the next person. And if there’s any celebrity who personally vouches for this, it’s British actor Idris Elba.

As one of the celebrities who was infected, he knows just exactly how important it is to follow the requested quarantine rules in order to keep others safe and to keep calm during the lockdown. This has inspired him to participate as an advocate for uniting to fight the pandemic.

Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson: Staying Inside, Down Under
The terrific Tom Hanks and remarkable Rita Wilson were diagnosed with the disease while travelling to Australia for work. Meaning that the two of them had to undergo quarantine together there, as well. While they’re keeping active and updating the U.S. and their followers on social media about their status, the two have been up to all sorts of adventures in their Australia house.

Hanks posted on IG a little Australian trick: “I have learned not to spread my Vegemite so thick.” While Wilson posted a hilarious video of herself rapping while she goes “stir-crazy” from the quarantine!
Ryan Reynolds: Conquer the Boredom
Ryan Reynolds is known and loved for his humorous roles on-screen and posting some of the funniest videos and tweets on social media. However, when it comes down to facing the chaos, his social media is filled with all sorts of supportive posts and pride he has for the health and essential workers for his homeland of Canada.

But in his promotional IG video, he posted to help sponsor a fund that raises money for PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to give to those who are vulnerable and in need, he couldn’t resist adding some of his classic, savvy humour: “Don’t you miss boring? Well today, we’re uniting to bring boring back as quickly as possible. But not so quickly, that it gets exciting… We’re asking every Canadian to purchase this T-Shirt. And as you can see, it’s boring AF.”
Millie Bobby Brown: Look Good to Feel Good
Another helpful tip to keep in mind to steer yourself away from getting too stir-crazy and bored when you’re in quarantine is pampering yourself. Whether it’s putting on some of your favourite clothes to dress up just cause or giving yourself a mani-pedi, who says that you can’t look good to feel good at home?

Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown has been all about self-care and her puppies during her self-isolation! In fact, she even posted an adorable video with one of her fluffy fur babies explaining and doing her quick and easy “At-Home Look”.

Whether you know her from as Veronica Mars, from the light-hearted show The Good Place, or the globally loved Disney movie Frozen, when it comes to standing up and spreading the word about helping each other during the epic pandemic, Kristen Bell has done anything but let it go.

From inspirational posts about her volunteering to spreading the word in posts about appreciating health care workers, there is no doubt Bell is trying to make a difference anyway she can. But when she’s not staying in to save the world, she’s having fun wearing face masks and cuddling with her family in bed – especially her fur babies.
Bella Hadid: Working with her Quaranqueens
One of the most fascinating parts of this whole entire pandemic is seeing how quickly and effectively we’ve been able to alter our lives to a digital and remote format. With the rise and development of technology over the years, this has given many people the ability to work from home.
Image via @bellahadid/IG
But this hasn’t been limited to office and high-tech workers. Supermodel Bella Hadid posted on IG a series of photos with the caption: “Times are changing and working from home has a new meaning …. New work for @vogueitalia shot and styled through FaceTime by my Quaranqueens”.
Gwyneth Paltrow: Fresh Veggies and Cocktail Hour
It doesn’t matter if you’re a superstar celebrity or not, all of us are bound to go a little bit stir-crazy being in the same place for too long. But Gwyneth Paltrow, just like many other highly-admired celebrities, is still keeping practice to all of the required and recommended regulations.
Image via @gwynethpaltrow/IG
In one of her posts, she wrote, “Although we are all on a learning curve and aren’t always perfect as we figure out this temporary new normal, we must take the orders seriously…We will get through and I bet you our humanity will shine like never before.”
Cardi B: Preaching Words and Body-Slamming Towers
If we’re talking about anyone getting a bit stir-crazy, the vivacious rapper Cardi B might take the cake on that one! As she’s posted a super passionate video on Instagram explaining her views on the pandemic situation.

She conveyed her support for the community and advocated for an improvement in the system to test for the respiratory illness, she’s also been up to some not-so-serious stuff. She recently built a huge tower of life-size Jenga blocks and did a full body-slam run into it. Yikes!
Miley Cyrus: Bright Minding
While some celebrities have been busy at work or with their adorable kiddos, Disney’s grown-up wild-child Miley Cyrus has had plenty of time on her hands during the quarantine. So, what did she decide to do? She’s started up her own Instagram Live talk show titled “Bright Minded” which “gets a little more official each day!”
Image via @mileycyrus/IG
Each segment is related to keeping things positive, and of course, quarantine. They also include interviews with guests like celebrities and doctors, weekly highlight reels, and cuddly puppies! She’s even working on making a custom-made product in order to donate the profits to charity.
Kristofer Hivju: Recovering in this Strange Time
Some people are dealing with quarantine because of the recommended and required regulations to stay indoors so that you don’t get infected or spread the virus yourself if you have it. However, for the Norwegian Game of Thrones star, Kristofer Hivju and his wife, just like Tom Hanks, Idris Elba, and Colton Underwood, they tested positive in March, as well.

While he hasn’t exactly shared how he’s spent his quarantine, he’s been updating his fans and followers on his recovery progress. A few weeks after getting the test results, he and his wife made a full recovery and posted a picture together, and encouraged others to “Please remember to stay vigilant and keep your distance, wash your hands, and most of all; take care of each other in this strange time.”
Katy Perry: A Crave for Pickles

And for a proper “Thank-You”, anyone who donates can sign up to win a virtual dinner with her! She mentioned that 12 lucky winners will “put together a store cupboard dinner, together… we’ll cook it and then we’ll eat it together. And we will discuss lots of things – isolation, fear, and also funny videos, and you know, the fact that I can’t really cook. So, it’s going to be fun! It’s going to be interesting!” How sweet!
Priyanka Chopra Jonas: Helping The World Come Together
Many celebrities have been spending their time prepping for the “One World: Together At Home” event hosted by Global Citizen and the World Health Organization. The purpose of the event was to help raise funds for WHO’s mission to protect, detect, and respond to the pandemic – a total of over $127 million dollars was raised!
Image via @priyankachopra/IG
And the Indian superstar singer and actress, Priyanka Chopra, was one of the many talented and amazing celebrities that participated. Chopra uploaded her segment on Instagram and wrote: “As I watched with my family, the same as so many of you in the US, India, throughout Asia, Europe, Africa, and beyond, it gave me so much hope that in spite of all the hardship maybe we’ll all emerge from this as kinder and more compassionate.”
Evangeline Lilly: Showing Character and Compassion
Even our most highly-admired celebrities can make mistakes. Especially when so many people look up to you, it takes a lot of courage to both admit when you are wrong, and also your fears. Which is exactly what happened in Ant-Man’s Evangeline Lilly’s case. At first, Lilly avoided the recommended self-isolation rules.
Image via @evangelinelillyofficial/IG
She later uploaded to Instagram a heartfelt post and apology: “My direct and special apologies to those most affected by this pandemic. I never meant to hurt you. When I wrote that post 10 days ago, I thought I was infusing calm into the hysteria. I can see now that I was projecting my own fears into an already fearful and traumatic situation…At the same time, I am heartened by the beauty and humanity I see so many people demonstrating toward one another in this vulnerable time. When I was grappling with my own fears over social distancing, one kind, wise and gracious person said to me ‘do it out of love, not fear’ and it helped me to realize my place in all of this.”
Amy Schumer: Mother to a Little Chef
It looks like the hilarious comedian and actress from Trainwreck and I Feel Pretty, Amy Schumer, has jumped pretty deep into the “Quarantine & Chill” side of the pool. If she’s not cuddled on the couch with her super cute fur baby, then she’s playing around with her adorable 11-month-old baby!

From dressing up as a little chef to climbing over his box of toys instead of around them, Schumer’s keeping her followers updated on how adorably sweet her baby boy is and how she is spending this downtime, surrounded by all the right things.

Ok, off to hose down outdoor furniture!”
Image via @januaryjones/IG
Along with that, she posted a cheeky video of herself putting on a face mask while preparing for Zoom auditions. But the most exciting part of her quarantine has probably been when she treated herself to some dancing tap shoes and found out that she’s a natural at it!
Lady Gaga: Hanging with Her Pups
While she’s been posting pictures of herself in some gorgeous high-end couture and chic face masks on her Instagram account, the lovely Lady Gaga has been tweeting about all sorts of different fundraisers and other supportive materials about fighting the pandemic, together as one.

Lady Gaga is practising and advocating to stay at home in order to protect yourself from getting infected or spreading the virus amongst other people. Just like how many of us have been feeling, she posted on Instagram, “I wish I could see my parents and grandmas right now but it’s much safer to not.“ She’s grateful to at least have her adorable pups to keep her company, though!
