We use Instagram to document momentous occasions like weddings and graduations, remember the aesthetically pleasing eggs benedict we had for brunch, share selfies when we’re feelin’ ourselves, for marketing purposes, as a portfolio for professional photography… the possibilities are endless.
One of its most entertaining uses, we’ve discovered, is to get a personal peek into the lives of celebrities that were previously only idolized on the screens and red carpets. We get to see what they do day-to-day, how they look without makeup, what they ate as a midnight snack — how they see the world, not how the world sees them.
These six are some of the funniest stars we follow. Skeptical? Check out their feeds yourself!

Sarcastic, witty, and creative, Chelsea has an impressive way of letting her personality shine through her photos. And her captions — actually, that’s where the real gold’s at.
@billnye
Ahh the nostalgia! Bill Nye the Science Guy continues to be a champion for education, science, and wonder. But who knew our favorite childhood teacher was also downright hilarious?! We do now, thanks to his Insta.
@caradelevingne
Quirky, unapologetic, and beautiful, Cara is just everything. She gives both middle fingers up to stereotypes and constructs, embracing her true self — which happens to be funny enough to make us laugh out loud while simultaneously drooling over her perfect eyebrows.

Chris Pratt’s #WHATSMYSNACK hashtag on Insta is kind of the best thing in the world. He shows us what he’s munching on in the most creative, silly, adorable ways. All of his other posts, too, are dripping in charisma. Would you expect any less from Andy Dwyer?
@mindykaling
We love anyone who knows how to laugh at themselves – and Mindy is probably the quintessential example of such person. She’s real, she’s honest, she’s smart, and she loves to eat. Need we say more?
@shaq
Who knew this basketball star was such a comedian, too? Not only does Shaq’s humor entertain us, seeing glimpses of his personality helps us humanize these big-shot athletes most people just idolize from the sidelines. Follow him and you’ll feel like his best friend.
