5 Celebrities Reveal What Gives Them an Ego Boost

Being in the spotlight, it’s easy to let your ego grow – and these 5 celebrities have honestly spoken on how they get their egos boosted. Some find that what the fans have to say often gives them a helpful confidence boost, while others love receiving body compliments or even enjoy being recognised on the street.  Some admit they even struggle with having an addiction to receiving that ego boost and are trying to bring themselves back down to earth,

Khloe Kardashian

Khloe was thrilled when a woman asked to take a photo of her booty: “I was in Starbucks & The sweetest lady asked me if she could take a pic of my booty cuz it’s so perfect. LOL what an ego boost for the day.”

Robert Downey Jr.

Robert loves Marvel fans because they’re always gushing about his acting. He commented: “It’s really good for my ego because I’m so introverted.But look, all that matters is that I think we made a better movie this time. I didn’t know that we could do that, but the fans won’t be disappointed. It’s about time I passed the torch [to other Avengers] – it’s been getting hot in my hands.”

Kelly Brook

Kelly admits that having a younger man interested in her has given her ego a big boost: “It’s a nice ego boost that someone in their 20s is attracted to you when you’re 30. You hit 30 and you’re like, ‘Oh, I’ve got a nice young toyboy!’ It’s fabulous.”

John Mayer

John’s fame gave him an ego so big he became addicted to that feeling: “I’m a recovered ego addict and the only way that I can be sure that I don’t relapse is to admit that I constantly have this ego addiction every day. So I do the Grammys and then I go home, because if I stay I get high again (on the approval). You’ve already looked through Twitter, everyone says it’s great, and then you get low again because you can’t stop looking, so I’m a recovered ego addict.”

Jack Black

Jack says just getting noticed has made his ego swell: “I don’t know that I feel like a giant but I am definitely aware that I have lost my anonymity. It’s an ego boost getting noticed. My ego is definitely a giant.”
