Some celebrities have such impressive accomplishments or inspiring stories, they become role models in our lives, and their larger-than-life personalities can add an energy and weight to their words of wisdom. Whether it’s a movie star encouraging us to vote or an athlete reminding us that practice makes perfect, a nugget of advice can go a long way when it’s delivered from a mighty platform.
Although some celebrities push back on the responsibility of becoming a role model, others embrace the title. “You can either choose to look at it as a pressure or something bad, or you can choose to look at it as a gift,” movie and TV star Zendaya has said. In fact, studies have shown that many people, especially youth, are just as influenced by celebrity behaviors and decisions as they are by observing friends and family. Here, we’ve collected 15 motivational tweets from entertainers, athletes, comedians, politicians, and other famous figures.
