21 Celebrities And Their Junk Food Guilty Pleasures

With our free press under threat and federal funding for public media gone, your support matters more than ever. Help keep the LAist newsroom strong, become a monthly member or increase your support today.

Celebs might have access to personal trainers for pricey workout sessions, assistants to run and fetch them a kale smoothie at will, or in-home chefs to see to it they're fed a vegan, macrobiotic diet, but at the end of the day, a lot of them end up giving in to cravings for junk and fast food.

Recently, Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence was spied having a big ol' bargain feast at Denny's, which made us wonder: What are some celeb fast and junk food guilty pleasures?

From the big man in charge (of America) and his fondness for Roscoe's Chicken N' Waffles, to LiLo's love of pretzels from the mall (plus a few fancy cars hitting some well-known drive-thru lanes), we've come up with this homage to eating badly courtesy the rich and famous.

That’s why we’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
