Olivia Cooke and Emma D'Arcy revealed that they didn't like the "negroni sbagliato" meme. "I did hate it for a very long time," Olivia said. "I was in the pub. A woman opened the door for me, and she said with a thick Spanish accent, 'Stunnin'!' I was just like, Oh my God. Over a decade's worth of work reduced to a single word in my lexicon." Meanwhile, Emma added that they have mixed feelings about it, saying, "I don't have anything illuminating to say on it because it's very hard to know how to react when you become a meme."

"The thing that made me the happiest - performing and writing songs - was also making me really upset because people were picking everything apart that I'd been working on, and I had to learn all that in front of everyone," she said. Cindy Ord / Getty Images The meme started after a clip of her 2018 BRIT Awards performance of "New Rules" went viral, and someone commented, "I love her lack of energy, go girl give us nothing!" The comment has since been removed. 3. Kevin James chatted about his King of Queens promo-shot-turned-meme and said at the time he was told the photo would never see the light of day. "The photographer was just telling me to do goofy things. He was like, 'Smile now like you're sexy. Now, like you're shy.' I got into this position like, 'What the hell am I doing?'" he said. "Then I said, 'Well, please bury that one.' And he goes, 'Yeah, no worries. That won't come back.'" Of course, that was the photo that became a viral meme. Nbc / Getty Images He added that it was "so dumb" the photo became such a big moment on the internet, but admitted that some of the jokes are pretty funny. 4. Adele spoke about the meme of her looking unimpressed at a basketball game and said her attitude was actually because she was being filmed without her consent. She explained, "I know it sounds crazy, but I really don't like being famous, right? I know I'm sitting courtside at a basketball game, I'm asking for it, whatever, but Rich was working the room and talking to players and people, I was fine, I didn't mind. I was just there on my own, looking for Michael Jordan, to be honest with you." Stefanie Keenan / Getty Images "The people with the camera came and asked me twice," Adele continued. "They were like: 'Do you mind if we film you? Can we put you on the screen?' I said: 'Please don't. Please don't. I just canceled Vegas, I really don't want to.' They came back and they filmed me.""The reason my lips look like I had filler - because I have naturally big lips and don't need filler - the reason I looked like a different person was because I was sulking. Because I was like: 'These motherfuckers have come back and are filming me against my will,'" she addedAdele went on to admit: "I didn't realize they were airing it on TV. I thought it was just in the room! But anyway, I just wanted to give some context, because I was ignoring, looking everywhere but in the camera, because I was very annoyed because I asked not to be filmed. But I guess I was asking for it by going." 5. Millie Bobby Brown went viral for her love for carrots, and people compared her to a Wallace and Gromit character. In an interview a few months later, she said, "I actually saw a meme of me eating a carrot and then somebody relating me to Wallace and Gromit. So I'm not gonna pick up any carrots 'cause I don't want that meme to carry on." Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images 6. Selena Gomez had a few moments turn into memes after she was seen making some faces on camera and covering her ear. Shortly after the event, she went to Instagram to say, "I will never be a meme again. I'd rather sit still than be dragged for being myself. Much love." Craig Barritt / Getty Images Selena also said that the reason she covered her ear was because she "heard a loud noise and it scared [her]." 7. Chloƫ Grace Moretz opened up about the time a paparazzi photo of her was compared to a Family Guy character and how it contributed to her struggle with body dysmorphia. "There was one meme that really affected me, of me walking into a hotel with a pizza box in my hand," she said. "And this photo got manipulated into a character from Family Guy with the long legs and the short torso, and it was one of the most widespread memes at the time."
