Daniel Radcliffe, Blake Lively, Dakota Fanning & More Celebrities Who Hate Twitter

Twitter has gotten some new celebrity accounts recently. Sarah Jessica Parker is tweeting, Katie Holmes joined the social networking site, and even Cameron Diaz joined the party.

"I JUST got a super cool new app called Twitter. Twelloooo!!!" Diaz said in her first Tweet.

But there are some celebs that Twitter won't ever get to host. Daniel Radcliffe spoke out against social media on Thursday, November 21 to Sky News saying, "I don't have Twitter and I don't have Facebook and I think that makes things a lot easier. Because if you go on Twitter and tell everybody what you're doing moment to moment and then claim you want a private life, then no one is going to take that request seriously."

And there are many other celebrities who agree. Whether they can't operate a computer, or they find the site boring, here are 22 celebrities who refuse to Tweet.

George Clooney

Clooney told Esquire he worries about a Kanye-style Twitter meltdown.

"I don’t understand why any famous person would ever be on Twitter. Why on God’s green earth would you be on Twitter? Because first of all, the worst thing you can do is make yourself more available, right? But also Twitter. So one drunken night, you come home and you’ve had two too many drinks and you’re watching TV and somebody pisses you off, and you go ‘Ehhhhh’ and fight back ... And you go to sleep, and you wake up in the morning and your career is over. Or you’re an asshole. Or all the things you might think in the quiet of your drunken evening are suddenly blasted around the entire world before you wake up."

Julia Roberts

On social media, Roberts recently told Marie Claire:

"It's kind of like cotton candy: It looks so appealing and you just can't resist getting in there, and then you just end up with sticky fingers and it lasted an instant ... There's an anonymity that makes people feel safe to participate in hatefulness. I like a good old-fashioned fistfight if people are pissed off at each other. I just feel like if you're really mad and want to have a fight, then put your dukes up."

Jodie Foster

She famously shouted about privacy in her Golden Globes "coming out" speech and has written an article for The Daily Beast on the effect Twitter has on young celebrities today.

"If I were a young actor or actress starting my career today in the new era of social media and its sanctioned hunting season, would I survive?

Jennifer Aniston

It's probably in everyone's best interest that she's not on social media.

“If I took to Twitter or anything, I would really send people over the edge." She told Yahoo News, noting that she would spend all her time "just correcting every false rumor.”

Rachel McAdams

She confessed to People that she's old-fashioned.

"I listen to the news on the radio. I don't have a television and I am really bad at e-mail ... [It was] only [recently] that I heard about Twitter for the first time, and it's all I've heard about since. I'm really ignorant."

Daniel Craig

He told BBC America he likes person-to-person interaction.

“I am bloody not [on Facebook]. And I’m not on Twitter either… ‘Woke up this morning, had an egg’? What relevance is that to anyone? Social networking? Just call each other up and go to the pub and have a drink.”

Tina Fey

You asked, and she answered. On NBC's "Ask Tina" segment, the 30 Rock actress launched into a rant against the social media website.

“I think you should have to get a license to use Twitter ... Because most people are so f**king boring, that they should shut up.”

Sandra Bullock

She told Vogue that social media makes her worry about her safety.

“I don’t want anyone to know where I am.”

But also, someone should probably tell her that unless she Tweets about where she is, people wouldn't necessarily know that.

Kristen Stewart

The only thing she hates more than paparazzi who capture her unsmiling face, is the people on Twitter who tell the paps where she is.

"Twitter f**ks me over every day of my life. Because people go, ‘I’m sitting next to Kristen Stewart right now’ and then [the paparazzi] show up," Stewart explained in Flaunt Magazine. "And it’s rampant. Everyone can do it now. Buy a camera and you’re paparazzi; get a Twitter account and you’re an informant. It’s so annoying.”

Jennifer Lawrence

J-Law is a little behind the times.

"Do you ever feel like the world is progressing way too fast for you? Everybody was talking yesterday about Twitter and Instagram and Tumblr. It was really confusing me and overwhelming me," the actress said to the Daily Beast. "I don’t have it. I know by the time I get it, it’ll be something else. I bought a CD case less than a year ago."

Bradley Cooper

He told OK! TV that he doesn't want to spoil his movies for you.

"For me, maybe I'm old fashioned, if I know so much about you and you're playing a character in a movie, then that's a lot of work I'm gonna have to do to forget who you are so that I can believe the character and therefore enjoy the movie."

Chris Hemsworth

“I think there’s a danger of being overexposed with that stuff. The mystery of who you are is what keeps people interested in wanting to see you on the screen. Also, it’s easier for them to believe you as that character if they don’t know too much about you ... Besides, I’d rather be hanging out with my family than updating to people I don’t know about what I had for lunch," the Thor actor said to Prestige Hong Kong.

Bruce Willis

He can't even get the verb right, so I think it's unlikely we'll see him on Twitter any time soon.

"I just can't live with myself if I started Twittering ... I just think that way lies madness," he told People.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

The Brangelina household isn't exactly tech-savvy.

"I don't really know how to operate a computer," Brad confessed.

Angelina was quick to answer that she doesn't either. "As Brad knows, I don't really know how to turn on a computer."

Winona Ryder

She dished to Elle about her social media habits saying:

"I don't use the Internet, but apparently you can find out everything on it ... I have my e-mail on my BlackBerry, and that's about it."

No internet? What does she do when she's bored?

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

The Olsen twins told Style.com that while their fashion lines have twitters, they won't ever get personal accounts.

Ashley: "No Facebook. No Twitter ... That gives me so much anxiety."

Mary-Kate: "We’ve spent our whole lives trying to not let people have that accessibility, so it would go against everything we’ve done in our lives to not be in the public."

Scarlett Johansson

Scar-Jo told Glamour she wants to keep her life on the down low.

"I don't know how I feel about this idea of, `Now, I'm eating dinner, and I want everyone to know that I'm having dinner at this time,' or `I just mailed a letter and dropped off my kids.' That, to me, is a very strange phenomenon. I can't think of anything I'd rather do less than have to continuously share details of my everyday life."

Mila Kunis

She and Craig Ferguson chatted about social media and she said:

"It frightens me ... I just don't think people need to know when I'm going to the rest room. What am I gonna tweet? Like, 'Hey now I'm moving from room to room.' I don't really know what I would tweet people."

Kate Hudson

Asked by Harper's Bazaar why she doesn't tweet, the actress said, “I’m scared!”

Blake Lively

In an interview with Glamour she said:

"People ask me why I don't tweet. Honestly, I'm, so sick of myself."

Daniel Radcliffe

"For an actor, or someone who's in the media, to have a Twitter or a Facebook that's public and then to also say that you want a private life is a little bit of a double standard," he told Katie Couric.
