These 11 famous people are actually narcissists

Narcissists. Sometimes it seems like they are everywhere. It's that one colleague at your job who only talks about themselves, a friend of a friend who suddenly becomes extremely jealous, or a family member you prefer to avoid at a birthday party. And sometimes, they are celebrities. Because yes, those stars? They often have narcissistic traits. We have written a million times about how to recognize these people with a personality disorder but you can also look at stars with the same character traits. Whether it's their bizarre statements or egos as big as their bank accounts: all these celebs have one thing in common: they are living proof that a little narcissism is never far away when you're in the spotlight., 1. Lindsay Lohan.

Now that this actress is back in business, it's time to discuss her. She has been very open about her narcissistic behavior some time ago: in this interview, she admitted that she follows a pattern of the urge for attention and wanting everything to revolve around her. She believes this is because she was in the spotlight at such a young age. She always thought she deserved everything she got and that she was more important than others. By going to therapy, she learned to recognize these patterns and how to deal with them. Nowadays, she is more empathetic and thinks more about the feelings of others than just her own.

2. Charlie Sheen.

This one won't surprise you. Charlie Sheen, yes, that actor who has had thousands of public outbursts, most likely has a narcissistic personality disorder. Although he hasn't been officially diagnosed, Charlie has been surprisingly honest about his behavior. Thinking he always won everything and literally had 'tiger blood.' Yes... At one point, Charlie thought he was everything, and you could see that in how he treated others. In his

new documentary and in interviews, he looks back on this time with shame. After finally becoming sober, he sought help. Through therapy and the love of his family and friends, he has grown tremendously in his personal development. 3. Bram Moszkowicz.

The former criminal lawyer and ex-husband of Eva Jinek is really no sweetheart. How do we know this? Well, his own brother called him a narcissist. A few years ago, in the magical 2016, filled with glitter cut creases and Drake's 'One Dance',

Bram made a slip-up, . That year it became known that his entire family, except for cousin Yehudi, was no longer allowed to work as a lawyer. In response, Yehudi tweeted: "Strange, I've had 'I'm still standing' by Elton John in my head all day." Now, this is quite an awkward tweet, which could be considered narcissistic in itself. But Bram? He added fuel to the fire. He reacted angrily to the tweet: "As far as he stands, that's not due to his abilities. And 'still' is with a double l." I understand the anger, Bram, but was that really necessary?. Bram's brother, Robert, appeared on

Shownieuws . Here he called his brother Bram's reaction truly narcissistic: "It's a kind of wounded narcissism. Bram is someone who is extremely narcissistic and completely self-centered. If Yehudi has an uncle who is frustrated that he can no longer do that himself, but has to blame himself for it, then it's very sad to see him try to drag his nephew down. Just say good job, nephew, nice that you're doing that. I'm proud of you. Not all that. Burn that thing down. And that has to do with that narcissism." Aside from his family's accusations, Bram is a narcissist in everything he does: He broke lawyer rules to come out better, only wore fancy suits, and did everything to become a prominent public figure.. 4. Kanye West.

Does this surprise you? No, not really, right? We all know that Kanye West is bipolar, but you can really see narcissism in his behavior. For years, he spoke before his big meltdown about his ego in interviews and on social media. It has a bit of Charlie Sheen quality, always calling himself the 'greatest artist to ever live.' He even compares himself to Michelangelo and Pablo Picasso. And if you see how he treats Kim Kardashian... Well, that says enough. Really narcissistic behavior. Everything revolves around him; he is the best and therefore deserves all the attention. I mean: why would you make a hologram of your wife's dead father and only have him praise you? That's just so egocentric. And anyone who contradicts that? Is a liar or wants to sabotage him. Of course, many of these actions stem from his bipolar disorder, but yes, it is really the recipe for a narcissist.

5. Donald Trump.

Is it a good sign that a narcissist is the president of America? No, not really. But we already knew that Trump is nothing but trouble. The American businessman who suddenly gets to play president has all the characteristics of a narcissist: he only thinks of himself, lies more than he tells the truth, does everything to save his own skin, gaslights everyone, vilifies people who disagree with him, and he cannot reflect on his behavior – really, the list goes on. The man has affair after affair while he is just married. And when he no longer wants someone, he fires them or throws them in the trash as if they never existed. How can the man who yells 'You're Fired!' in the face of people he fires be anything other than a narcissist? Nothing.

6. Mart Smeets.

Rob Goossens called him 'the man with by far the biggest ego in all of Hilversum' in the show *De Beste Kijkers*. According to him, Mart would always deny that, but "There are just people who can do something very well and are still terrible." That's quite an accusation, Rob, but there are more people who agree with this. Bridget Maasland agrees with him in the same interview. Panel member Leonie ter Braak adds: "He is also a bit narcissistic, right? He likes to hear himself talk." If other celebrities who know him say this, then it can only mean that this presenter is just a narcissist, right? He is old-fashioned and brushed off all kinds of inappropriate behavior.

Although he has apologized for this. , it still happened. He called inappropriate behavior a 'non-issue' in the documentary *Buiten Beeld*. And then he also denied that he made former presenter Aïcha Margahdi look terrible in front of the entire NOS editorial team. When she walked in, he immediately said, according to Aïcha, "What are we supposed to do with this?" He claims he can't remember it, but many people still don't believe him. Oh yes, and Ria Visser confessed on television that she had an affair with him while he was married. So yes, in my eyes, he definitely belongs on this list. Sorry not sorry., 7. Mariah Carey.

Ho, ho, ho, wait a minute. Is the queen of Christmas a narcissist? I think so. If anyone is self-centered and blames everyone for her own problems, it's Mariah. She has been on stage for so many years that she no longer dares to step down. And she doesn't want to either. She is 'the Christmas queen', so why should she bow to anyone else? She even swims in long evening gowns and heels. Well, sorry. But that's really insane. Or think of that time her New Year's Eve performance went wrong. She had a, let's say, lip-syncing catastrophe. It's not her own fault that she can no longer sing well and the performance went wrong,

but that of the dancers, : "Even the dancers stopped dancing and helped me off the stage. It was a big mess. It's everyone's fault here." If that isn't narcissistic behavior, then I don't know what is.8. Elon Musk.

The space guy. Of course, he is on this list. A look at his X page shows exactly why this man is a narcissist. He only gives himself pats on the back, thinks he can do anything because he has money, and only does things to make himself better. All that money he invests in space travel and whatever else is really not to make the world a better place, you know. He only wants fame and more money. And that richer people say: "Oh, Elon, you really did well. Hats off." Elon is a true narcissist who (you wouldn't say based on all the information we now have about him) is very nice for the first half hour and then suddenly changes. Although we know what he does, Elon still has a certain charm in real life. He knows what to say and which people to laugh at to get to the top. Only when he was at the highest level ever did he start to show his true face: an arrogant man who wants to control everything.

9. Madonna.

After Madonna conquered the world in 1980, the world was at her feet. Everyone thought she was amazing. Yes, I understand that you would then start to think that you are everything. We don't call her the Queen of Pop for nothing, right? Well, the fame may have gone to this queen's head, because she definitely has narcissistic traits. Even in her early career, she had to and would do everything to always put herself in the spotlight. And when she collaborated with other artists, she had to be in control. She had to determine everything: it had to fit her personality and singing style. Whatever she did, Madonna had to and would attract attention. And she thrived on that. Even in her later years, she still does this, like all the plastic surgery to keep looking good. She is addicted to attention. And that she looked crazy during her performance at the Grammys? That wasn't her fault. Her face wasn't puffy and cartoon-like; it was just due to the 'long lens camera'. That would 'distort everyone's face.' Yeah, right, Madonna.

10. Kim Kardashian.

That her ex-husband is crazy is no secret, but that Kim Kardashian is a narcissist is something you wouldn't think so quickly. The woman who wants to become a lawyer to get innocent people out of prison? Is she a narcissist? Okay, maybe she isn't a full-on Kanye-level narcissist, but she definitely has some traits of this disorder. There is a therapist,

Kim Friedmutter, , who labels her behavior as narcissistic. The fact that she only thinks of herself and makes money from it says enough, according to her. "She has an obsession with herself and has an intense hunger for attention and validation. Narcissism is the product she sells." Just think of the many selfies where you see other people in a not-so-good light; then she cuts her daughter out of a photo and in another, she stands tall and proud while someone else sits on the couch. "It's the queen vs the villagers. That's why she is always the main character in a selfie. And just like in the photos, she sees it that way in her relationships too. She is the main character. Everyone is beneath her.", 11. Nick Cannon“

Of course, there are also celebs who do learn to deal with their problems. Just like Lindsay Lohan, actor and presenter Nick Cannon

is open about his diagnosis . He came out last year as a narcissist. "I always wanted to be tested for it. So yes, I did. As a child, I was already diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. I'm just neurodivergent. I always knew that." During an episode of his podcast *Counsel Culture*, he talked about his narcissism: "The term narcissism has no power over me anymore. I have researched it now and I understand it. Call me what you want, but I have no problem with it.". So if you want to make sure you recognize a narcissist? Just take a look at the behavior of these celebs. Hopefully, you'll gain something from it. Good luck.‘
