Famous people are human beings. They also want to date, hook up, find love, and/or just have fun. Grindr is a popular app for those who are gay and looking – and celebrities aren’t immune to giving it their best shot.
For a few reasons, it can be somewhat tricky for a celebrity to be on Grindr. There’s a chance that users will report you for potentially catfishing as a famous person. There are also guys who will hit you up on the app as fans, not as interested suitors. While this can lead certain celebrities to give up on Grindr and delete their accounts, there are also those who are still hopeful about their prospects on the gay dating app.
