Chrissy Teigen, Nick Young and More Celebrities Who Became Memes

The only thing better than a funny meme is a funny celebrity meme!

The internet is filled with billions upon billions of images, and many of the ones that circulate on a regular basis feature some of the biggest names in sports, movies, TV and music. Of course, the best ones are almost always turned into memes, and the end results range from amusing to downright hilarious.

Through the years, athletes such as Nick Young and Michael Jordan have seen their faces become memes online, as have reality stars including Kim Kardashian and Taylor Armstrong and music artists like Ariana Grande and Gucci Mane.

Perhaps one of the most popular memes of all shows Chrissy Teigen making an awkward cry face after her husband, John Legend, won a Golden Globe in 2015 for his song “Glory” from the movie Selma.

“That was me trying not to react at all because you know how it works at these things,” she explained on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2018. “The camera’s, like, two feet in front of you, and the red light goes on, and as soon as that light goes on, I’m like, ‘Be normal.’ I can’t [help it]. I swear, leading up to that red light, I’m OK. Like, I’m really good, and then … I don’t know.”

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours.

And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
