The dirty little (or now not so little) secret in hollywood is that 95% of paparazzi encounters are planned and set up by the celebrities "team". If a celebrity truly wants to disappear and stay out of the spotlight they can and you see how celebrities will be photographed more frequently when they're promoting something or trying to get their name out there. If they want to disappear they can and most do, see Eva Mendes who hid her entire pregnancy, Rachel McAdams also...have we still not seen pictures of George Clooney's twins?
Awards shows, red carpets for a movie, an occasional benefit I'll give them a pass. Leo hitting all the hot celebrity vacation hot spots, sitting court side at the Lakers games next to Jack, parading around with whatever 20 year old model he's currently dating...can't give him that pass. Not that I don't believe he's in it for the acting aspect of it, but he enjoys the celebrity perks just as much.

Mark Wahlberg was actually the first celebrity I ever heard admit this. It was in an interview years and years ago. He said it's possible to live a very normal life without cameras and that every celeb knows where to go to be seen and where to go not to be seen. Of course, this was before social media and camera phones.
I've been having a crisis of faith, so to speak, about Chris Pine in this respect. He has this one persona among his fans -- being low-key, hating the limelight -- but I've seen
a lot of him lately with his new actress girlfriend. Some of the photos look staged. Of course, it could be her people with her being an up-and-coming actress. I hate that fake celeb stuff, though.
Kayla, I agree, I think Leo is fantastic! Have you ever seen What's Eating Gilbert Grape? I caught it on cable a few months back (I'd seen it before) and he yet again just wowed me. Well, everyone in that cast is great. It's too bad Johnny Depp's off-screen life/drama has overshadowed just how talented he is.
No one mentioned Denzel. He's like Jeff Bridges -- low-key but always giving brilliant performances. And he stays out of the limelight. Of course, he's also older.
