Actor Is The Male Version Of Ellen DeGeneres

[Blind Gossip] You may have read by now that Ellen DeGeneres does not like it when the plebeians on her set try to speak to her… or even look at her. 

We have a story to tell you about an actor who is the male version of Ellen DeGeneres!

This actor may be best known for his starring role in a TV comedy series with an eponymous title. However, he has also starred in dozens of movies, some of them very successful.

Despite the fact that he is a comedic actor, the people who work on his set do not find him funny.

That’s because he is a jerk.

Here is one example of how he made life difficult for the crew on the set of one film.

The movie that this blind item is about was filmed in the early aughts.

The crew was told that no one was allowed to look at [Actor] at all. They had to look down if he was near them. They also weren’t allowed to speak to him.

Oh, boy.

Even if they were only talking about him to someone else, they could not refer to him by his first name. He always had to be referred to as Mr. Actor.

That sounds controlling.

The odd thing was that he liked to play basketball with the crew when he wasn’t filming.

However, the players were not allowed to talk to him, only to each other.

Clearly not a team player.

Also, the crew was required to wear sunglasses while they played basketball because he didn’t want to see them looking at him.

Yes, Actor is a bad boy. It’s unlikely anyone who has worked with him sees him as a knight in shining armor.

In fact, if his own momma knew how he behaved… she would probably do the right thing and whoop him!

By the way, the movie was a holiday release.

And it flopped at the box office.

    For a moment I worried that this was Will Smith but how ironic that it’s b- or c-lister Martin Lawrence, acting out like such a sickening prima donna.

  4. porsche says

    Martin Lawrence. Clues-had his own show called Martin, was in Black Knight, was in Big Momma’s House.

  10. dallasshowgirl says

    Actor: Martin Lawrence

    Clues: Actor is a bad boy – film “Bad Boys”
    knight in shining armor – film “Black Knight”
    if his own momma knew how he behaved… – film “Big Momma’s House”
    do the right thing and whoop him – Spike Lee’s film “Do the Right Thing”

    [Optional] Why do you think “funny” people like Actor or Ellen DeGeneres are so nasty in real life? Idk.. lol

  14. HeatherH317 says

    Martin Lawrence. He’s the only one in Do The Right Thing that had his own show.

  15. 0pal123 says

    Has to be Martin Lawrence.

    Clues: eponymous comedy show “Martin”.
    He’s a “Bad Boy”.

  18. noitall says

    Actor: Martin Lawrence

    Clues: In sitcom named after him; played Momma in Big Momma’s House; Was in Do the Right Thing.

    Why?: Because even though they are loved and adored by millions, they feel inadequate, and compensate by pushing people away and attempting to make themselves feel superior to those surrounding them.

  19. dstdiva says

    Martin Lawrence
    Clues: he starred in “Martin” tv show, was in the movies Big Mama’s House, Do the Right Thing and Black Knight

  20. tippi1971 says

    Martin Lawrence.

    He had the show Martin. Another clue is the use of the word Momma. He was in the movie Big Momma’s House. Black Christmas is a holiday movie he made that flopped.

  21. IndieRaga says

    Martin Lawrence….
    Bad Boy/Big Momma/Kinght are the clues.

    Some childhood issue like Krusty The Clown from The Simpsons !
    I don’t have the courage to psychoanalyse them !!!!

  22. seatofmypants says

    Ben Stiller…..

    Night at the museum….
    Eponymous title – Ben Stiller Show

  23. Jenn123 says

    Martin Lawrence. Eponymous sitcom, “Bad Boy”, “Knight” and “Momma” being the clues.

    Black Knight is probably the movie. It was released over the holidays in 2001, and was a critical and financial bomb.

  24. Frizzle says

    Martin Lawrence
    TV Show: Martin
    Appeared in Do the Right Thing, Black Knight, & Big Momma’s House (all in the clues)
    Why so nasty? They are very damaged, insecure people who would probably be jerks no matter what their profession. Having tons of money & adulation makes them even worse.

  26. KayBlu says

    I don’t know who this is but a lot of celebrities are surrounded by yes men, this strokes their ego into believing they are more important than us mere mortals. No one should treat anyone in this way no matter how many noughts are on the bottom line of their bank account. The producers and directors should fire actors who behave like this because there are always plenty of others who would love the chance to star in a film.

  27. hwkgirl1 says

    Martin Lawrence
    TV show, Martin, bad boy – bad boys movies, knight- Black Knight, momma- Big Momma’s House

  28. pinky817 says

    Actor: Martin Lawrence

    Film: Black Knight

    Clues: “bad boy” “knight in shining armor” “momma” (big Momma’s house film)

  29. SweetMel says

    Actor: Martin Lawrence (bummer cuz I like him) I’d like to think he’s grown out of this behavior after a few years of humility in this tough industry.

    Clues were everywhere:) ~ “Bad Boy” movies, played “Momma” character, his tv series w eponymous title “Martin”, he played Cee in ‘Do the Right Thing’.

    Optional: Imo when actors in Hollywood start believing their own hype ~ that the ‘fame machine’ dishes out~ some celebs get viciously entitled.

  34. AliekaZola says

    Oh my God, is this Will Smith? If it is, I’ll be disappointed. He comes across as nice but then again so does Tom Cruise. I take back my shock, it’s Hollywood after all. Anything is plausible.

  35. lasuperbeasta says

    Actor: Martin Lawrence

    Clues: “bad boy”, his momma (Big Mama’s House), he played a knight, the movie is Black Christmas, eponymous “Martin” tv show.

    I don’t know it’s not like Martin Lawrence or Degeneres’ legacy is “brilliant at comedy” but also I think fans probably think comedians are more approachable than other celebrities and probably tell them * jokes all day and the comedians go insane.

  39. PatioPrincess says

    I don’t care about all of this, I still like Ellen. When she isn’t on camera, she deserves to be able to chill and not be in the fish-eye lense all the time. I would get sick of everyone looking at me too if I was in her shoes. Plus, she may have some anxiety issues that are the root cause. She’s done a lot of good in our world and if she is eccentric off camera who gives a hoot. There are just too many whiney snowflakes these days.

  45. JHntr113 says

    Martin Lawrence
    Clues: Soooo many clues! Bad Boy, knight in shining armor, momma, whoop there it ain’t

  46. chicagolisa says

    Will Smith…no clue, but it’s so disheartening that this always seems to be the case.

  47. calibg says

    Martin Lawrence
    Clues: eponymous title = his tv show, Martin; bad boy = Bad Boys franchise, “knight in shining armor” = Black Knight movie; momma = Big Momma’s house movies; “do the right thing” = he was in the movie

  48. HotTeacher88 says

    Martin Lawrence. I don’t know how many dozens of movies he has been in, but everything else fits: Bad Boy, (Big) momma’s house, TV show. However, his show was in the early 90’s, not the aughts…

  49. gypsyjones says

    Martin Lawrence
    Clues: so many movie references. Bad Boys, Black Knight, Big Momma’s House, Do the Right Thing, plus he had a tv series called Martin.

    The holiday release flop: Black Knight.

    Optional: The entertainment industry is thick with nasty narcissists. I don’t think it’s a unique trait to the ones who portray comedy, it just hits a little different when their role is designed to elicit a smile or laugh.

  50. FoxyLoxy says

    Martin Lawerence
    “Martin” the tv show named after him, bad boy, do the right thing
    They are narcissists

  51. gurutas says

    Could be Ellen D. Or Nick Saban. Has the same personality traits but he doesn’t have a self-named tv show. So I’ll go with Ellen.

  53. Melvin says

    oops forgot;
    Clues: I have heard these things almost verbatim about Willis for years.

  55. Christina X says

    No idea who the actor is.

    Why are some comedic actors so mean in real life? Perhaps people expect them to be funny ALL the time and ask them to “perform” on the spot. Maybe they get tired of it and feel that the best way to avoid that is to be mean and anti-social. Or, maybe they take the term “f-u money” WAY too seriously. I’m not making excuses for inexcusable behaviour. I’m just trying to put myself in someone else’s shoes for a moment.

  57. chicagofix says

    Martin Lawrence
    Clues: eponymous sitcom (Martin), Do The Right Thing, knight (Black Knight), Bad Boys

  60. MelisZ says

    My guess is Martin Lawrence. The TV show he’s most known for is of course, Martin. Clues are do the right thing and momma (as in big momma’s house), both are movies he was in. The big movie flop would be The Black Night.

  64. pitbull says

    Ben Stiller. He is known to be very controlling. He was rumored to be very controlling over his ex, especiallly about her weight and appearance.

    Mean people frequently act horribly out of insecurity. Their livelihood is making people laugh and like them, even though it’s an act. Over the years, they feel they are liked for the act, not themselves, and become hardened.

  67. ILoveRArmitage says

    Martin Lawrence

    Clues: Bad Boy, Big Momma, Do the Right Thing, eponymous tv show

    This is so obviously Martin Lawrence.

    Hints – he had a TV show called Martin. He was in the movies Do the Right Thing, The Black Knight, and what seems like 105 Bad Boys movies.

  71. stephanierizzo says

    Actor: Martin Lawrence
    Clues: The eponymous sitcom was his show Martin. The use of the word “knight” was a reference to his movie Black Knight. There were also references to Bad Boys and Big Momma’s House. Martin is also known to be a big fan of sunglasses.

  74. Sixxty3vettes says

    How dare these people demand others not to look at them or speak to them. Hateful and going to hell!
    The happy dancing lesbian is a true evil shrew who deserves all that is coming her way!!! * anyone who treats people this way!

  75. mrw222 says

  93. Bondgrl85 says

    Actor- Martin Lawrence
    Clues- Eponymous Tv show- Martin, Bad Boys (movie w/ Will), Do the right thing (spike lee), momma (big mama’s house).
    This makes me sad smh he and Ellen have such likeable personalities but I suppose they are just “acting”.

  95. funkyhomosapien says

    Hmm the clues Momma, Bad Boy point towards Martin Lawrence., who had a tv show called Martin.

  96. boyjack4 says

    Martin Lawrence
    Clues… TV show Martin, films, Bad Boys, Big Mommas house
    He’s a pathetic small man, the less important they are the more they act like a petty dictator

  97. CanaryCry says

    Martin Lawrence?

    You had me at “(Big) (M)omma” & “Do The Right Thing”.

  98. brobdingnagian says

    Martin Lawrence!!

    Yep, not surprised. He made life miserable for costar Tisha Campbell. So, a stretch that he would be a jerk to crews on the set.

  102. Smartlady says

    Martin Lawrence.
    Clues: Bad Boys movies, comedian, Big Mommas House movie, etc…

  103. Carnac The Magnificent says

    Martin (Lawrence), of course!

    I’ve heard that he’s a real pill.

    Remember when he passed out from heat exhaustion when he ran while wrapped in cellophane (?!)

    Optional: I think that many (certainly not all) are mean in real life because it’s exhausting always being ‘on’ and expending energy pleasing an audience for a living. When you put down the façade at the end of the day, what’s left is a lot of anger.
