Ok, can you guess the MOST searched Massachusetts celebrities for 2022?
Let’s face it. Our state gave birth to some of the most FAMOUS people on Earth. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s the depth of art and education? Maybe the history of our great state plants the seeds of success? While I’m not crazy about our famous winters, I would find it hard to move. I mean how many celebrities have their own BURGER? Have you ever had a Mark Wahlburger?
Who Cares?
Well it’s a good question. You watch, when I post this on our Facebook, I’ll get the usual ten people saying “who cares.” For me, I find celebrities interesting because of a few reasons. I’m not terribly interested in the individual. But I find the drive in these people fascinating. To be THIS successful, what have they had to give up? What sacrifices have they made to be a the TOP of their game. Look at Tom Brady, for example.
I have been on the radio since I was sixteen. I’ve seen stars come and go, and have been blessed to have met almost every iconic music celebrity. What is the one thing I see over and over again for the stars that seem to last? The one thing they all have in common: hard work. They are always working to reinvent themselves and stay fresh and try to stay relevant. Let’s see if that theory holds as we see the list.
The List
I found a list based on a number of metrics showing the top 10 most searched celebs in our great state. I’m surprised by this list, by the number of omissions. People I don’t know made the list. Others, we see every day in commercials, did not.
So let’s take a deep dive and find the MOST searched Massachusetts celebrities for 2022!
9-John Krasinski-Boston
This guy should be higher on the list, with his great work in The Office, as the hysterical Jim Halpert. Add to that, a total escape from TV comedy to movie hero in Jack Ryan. Now he’s a producer-director with the Quiet Place thrillers. Is there anything this guy can’t do?
8-Steve Carell-Acton
Steve never disappoints. Have you seen him at his family variety store in Marshfield?
7-Dave Portnoy-Swampscott
Founder, Bar Stool Sports
6-Bill Burr-Comedian-Canton
Within five seconds, anytime I see him on TV, I’m laughing
5-Matt Damon-Cambridge
Not every movie was a hit, but, Jason Bourne is good enough for me. Gotta mention Good Will Hunting.
4-John Cena-West Newbury
There’s somethin likeable about this guy.
3-Mark Wahlberg-Boston
You can’t argue that this guy knows how to stay relevant. Not bad for Markie Mark. Even though his movie Me Time on Netflix was borderline, dumb, I watched it, and some parts, made me laugh. He’s figured out Hollywood. It’s cool that he’s from here.
2-Chris Evans-Boston
If I say anything questionable, I’ll lose most of my female listeners, including my wife. He’s a good Captain America. I have not seen many of his more dramatic roles.
His was an almost believable Dad in Defending Jacob, if every lawyer-Dad living in Newton is built like Captain America.
I don’t know if every up and coming DA has time for 3 hours a day at the gym. But, the muscles-t-shirt- cardigan, look was appreciated by my wife. But with all of that said, good for you Chris.
1-Ben Affleck-Boston
If you want to be #1 searched, get back with JLO. I wonder if Heidi will like that hoodie-blazer, look?
