Harry Styles, the heartthrob of millions, may now be living the high life, but he wasn’t always the superstar he is today.

For Kim Kardashian, her relationship with the Big Apple goes way back.

The resulting photos are priceless, as the sisters strike poses that look more at home on a red carpet than a crowded train. It’s clear that even back then, Kim was destined for stardom – even if she looked a little out of place on the subway.
10: Nicole Scherzinger
Nicole Scherzinger was the lead singer of one of the most successful girl groups of the 2000s, but even with all the money she made with Pussycat Dolls, she still appreciates riding the subway.

It’s clear that she’s not trying to make a statement or show off; she just wants to experience life like a regular person.
11: J Cole
J Cole is the kind of legendary celeb who doesn’t let fame get to his head. The rapper is one of the most popular of his generation, yet he’s still as humble as he was at the beginning of his career. On top of being a nice guy, J Cole is also pretty lowkey, so imagine how surprised his fans were when the rapper hopped into this bus. This kid recognized him and was lucky enough to get a selfie with his mom and his idol. It’s clear that J Cole is just a regular guy who happens to be really good at rapping.
12 . Matthew Broderick
As a cinema and Broadway legend, Matthew Broderick is no stranger to the limelight. However, despite his wealth and fame, he and his wife Sarah Jessica Parker are often spotted around New York City, including taking the train from time to time. It’s good to see a celebrity choosing public transportation over a private car.
- Allison Janney
Some celebrities are rich and live classy lives, but not all of them. Allison Janney is an exception, as she is only a G and T away from being an EGOT winner, yet she’s totally humble. It’s pretty funny to see Janney taking a quick nap on the train after a hard day’s work!
- Helen Mirren
Even the most elegant of dames catches the train from time to time. Helen Mirren is no exception, and we can’t blame her for choosing the subway over dealing with the traffic in Manhattan. Though we’d advise that she take the bus next time; they’re comfier.
- Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore is a hilarious person who has been famous since forever, so she doesn’t need to put on airs to prove herself. At this point, she’s just living life to the fullest, and that includes touching up her makeup in the subway!
- Jay Z
Despite being the second-richest rapper on the planet, Jay Z was waiting for the train in London and looked like he was having a lot of fun. Who wouldn’t be laughing and having a good time when they’re standing right next to Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Timbaland, right?

Andrew Garfield, the star of “tick, tick… BOOM!”, is not afraid to use public transportation. In fact, he was recently spotted on the subway, sitting next to an unsuspecting passenger who probably didn’t even recognize him.

- Jake Gyllenhaal
One of the most iconic subway riders is Jake Gyllenhaal. The actor has been spotted several times on the subway, and he often blends in with the crowd. In one photo, he was seen riding the train on the East Coast with a blonde woman. However, it turns out that the woman was not the famous Taylor Swift, as many fans speculated. She was simply a stranger who happened to be on the same train. Jake bought an apartment in Tribeca for over eight million dollars, so it’s not shocking that he’s riding the train. He’s probably trying to save some money after paying so much for an apartment.
- Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence is another celebrity who has been spotted on the subway. The actress rose to fame after starring in the iconic Hunger Games franchise, but she won the public’s heart with her personality. She’s so funny and charming that you can’t help but fall for her. J-Law may be wearing a huge hat (at night), but we would recognize that lopsided smile anywhere. The actress lives in New York, but she’s rarely spotted in the subway. Jennifer prefers to walk places, and it’s not hard to see why.
