When we talk about a celebrity being trustworthy, we mean how reliable his brand value is. We don’t know what a celebrity is like in their real life; we’re only familiar with the celebrity brand they have cultivated in the industry. So, because most of us will never know how trustworthy a celebrity is in their real life, we don’t trust them. Instead we trust their image. So, don’t panic if you don’t see a Kardashian or a Bieber in this list.
Read on as we’re going to rank the top ten most trustworthy celebrities, going from least trustworthy to most trustworthy.
10. Michael J. Fox
The Back to the Future star held the top spot as the most trustworthy celebrity in 2013. However he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991 and retired from acting in 2000. He then went ahead and started a Michael J. Fox Foundation and succeeded in becoming a leading advocate towards finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease. As he returned to TV in 2013 with a show called the Michael J. Fox Show based on the actor’s life and his struggles with the disease, the show didn’t do so good and had to be pulled from NBC’s lineup.
9. Meryl Streep
To start with, Meryl Steep has 18 Academy Awards nominations, which is the most for any actor, male or female. The three time Academy Award winner has been repeatedly being called the “best actress of her generation”. She won the latest Academy award for her role in The Iron Lady as Margaret Thatcher and donated her fee from the movie to the National Women’s History Museum. The fact that she’s a very versatile actress and has never been involved in any salacious Hollywood scandal lands her in this list of most trustworthy celebrities.
8. Robin Roberts
The co-host of Good Morning America has publicly battled Breast Cancer and Myelodysplastic Syndrome, a disease of the bone marrow and has the highest trustworthy score, more than anyone in this list. As more than 1000 Americans were asked which public figures have earned their confidence based on “Integrity, Character, Exceptional talent, drive to personal experience, internal moral compass, message, leadership and Honesty” by the Reader’s Digest, Robin Roberts was ranked third with 56% of votes.
7. Mark Wahlberg
This actor had a rough start in his life. At 13, he faced a cocaine problem, when he reached 16, he was charged with attempted murder to which he plead guilty and was sentenced to 2 years in prison. Having such a rough and tumble past doesn’t usually land you in the list of most trustworthy celebrities, but his regrets, redemptions, success as an actor and being such a family man earn him a spot in this list. The kind of person who has made mistakes, hit rock bottom, learned a lesson and then rose from nowhere makes a very trustworthy man. Mark has also been involved in many charitable works.
6. Jennifer Lawrence
The actresses acting skills, her image as an It-girl and her comments in an interview with Barbara Walters like, “It should be illegal to call someone fat” definitely earn her a spot in this list of most trustworthy celebrities. After her role in The Hunger Games, she rose as the Hollywood’s unsuspecting It-girl. Also the Oscar winning actress certainly seems trustworthy when it comes to taking a stand on social issues as she’s been seen criticizing people who bash others based on their physical appearance.

Launching his career in 1997 with the success of the movie Good Will Hunting with his childhood friend Ben Affleck as a co-writer, he earned commercial success with movies such as the Bourne trilogy, Saving Private Ryan, Syriana and The Departed. Being married for more than 10 years to Luciana Bozan Barroso and having three daughters make him quite a family man as well. He also founded the H20 Africa Foundation. So his deeds, his acting skills and his off-screen family life make him one of the most trustworthy celebrities.
4. Oprah Winfrey
Being called,” Arguably the world’s most powerful woman” by CNN and Time Oprah Winfrey is definitely one of the most trustworthy celebrities there are. Repeatedly being called the most trusted celebrity has a lot to do with her clean and reliable image as the former talk show host. Her brand value being so trustworthy that she’s called the “Queen of All Media”. And as if that wasn’t enough, she’s also the greatest Black Philanthropist in American History.
3. Tom Hanks
Having the “Mr. Nice Guy” image and having no scandals to his name, Tom Hanks ranks third in this list of most trustworthy Celebrities. The Academy Award Winning actor has earned this “Mr. Reliable” reputation through his nice- guy roles in movies such as Captain Philips.
