It's fun keeping up with celebs on their social media accounts but sometimes their pushing of political agendas is a snooze.
Others create social envy by sharing snaps from their glamorous lives. It makes you want to crawl under a rock and abandon platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram altogether.
Thus we've picked out six social media accounts from celebrities that are actually worth following; that will make you believe there's still sweetness and humour in this mad world.
Ryan Reynolds
So many people (14.8 million in fact) are following Ryan Reynolds aka @VancityReynolds by now. Why? Because his posts are fricking hilarious and bound to bring you up if you're having a crap day.
Auditioned for the role of “Anthony Stark”. Didn’t come even remotely close, but the nice man with the taser escorted me to the ground. pic.twitter.com/1bwFDGdMOj

No. Put on Spider-Man (from 2002) and tell him it’s Deadpool. It’s what I do with my kids. Remember to look him straight in the eye when you lie. Good luck. 🕷 https://t.co/FbDhj69a7x

Anna Kendrick
As with Ryan Reynolds, the reason we recommend you follow @AnnaKendrick47 is she's just so funny. And philosophical. And just plain random.
Ghosting: because I’d rather look like an asshole than let you slowly find out that I suck.

Oh God. I just realized I'm stuck with me my whole life.

Sam Neill
Sam Neill of 'Jurassic Park' fame has one of the purest accounts out there. He uses his platform @TwoPaddocks to share random pictures of his farm animals and exploits at the Two Paddocks winery. He names the animals after his film-industry colleagues. No joke. And there are also important Jurassic updates sooo....
This is indeed so. https://t.co/YZGInR9Quu

Richard E Grant
One of the most uplifting accounts our there has to be that Richard E Grant, star of 'Can You Ever Forgive Me' and 'Withnail and I'. @RichardEGrant basically just posts videos of being really excited about life. Altogether lovely.
Just seen the astonishing @BenSPLATT bring @RadioCity to its feet and felt impelled to croak out Sondheim’s homage to anyone with a Broadway dream 🎶 pic.twitter.com/I33TfghVFI

Will Smith
Another just feel-good account has to be Will Smith's. He just loves being silly and doling out heartfelt advice (you check out the latter in the highlights on his Instagram).
James Blunt
One more humorous account we can't recommend enough. @JamesBlunt the singer behind such mid-2000s hits as 'You're Beautiful' and 'Goodbye My Lover' has self deprecation down to an art.
