15 Times Cameras Sneakily Capture The "Bad Side" Of Celebrities

Margot Nolan

When it comes to photos, the side matters.

While some people look flawless from any angle, the majority of us have a “good side” and a “bad side.” While our good side makes us look like a million bucks, our bad side makes us look… off.

Celebrities are airbrushed to perfection in magazines and movies. We've all seen those celebrity photos where they look absolutely perfect. But what about the other side of the coin?

We all know that cameras can be deceiving. But, every now and then, we see a photo of a celebrity that just looks bad. That’s because their “bad side” was captured in photos, which makes it look like they have a totally different face. Some celebrities even refused to be photographed from certain angles because they look so bad from there.

Despite their "bad side," some celebrities are still beautiful and confident. In this blog post, we'll take a look at 15 "bad side" of celebrities.
