Everyone has embarrassing moments every now and then, but for celebrities, those moments are much harder to live down while continually under the public microscope. With the plethora of cameras around, many celebrity fails have been captured, including:
- Trips and falls,
- Performance blunders,
- Wardrobe malfunctions,
- Poorly timed pictures.
While most of us can brush off an embarrassing blunder, celebrities are usually haunted by theirs sometimes for the entirety of their careers. There’s an undeniable amount of pressure being famous and maintaining an image, but we’re all human and we all make mistakes.
Here are 12 of the funniest celebrity fails.
