Four years ago, the people of Reddit gathered<\/a> in r\/Fauxmoi<\/a> to share their celebrity and pop culture-related predictions for the future \u2014 and looking back today, it\u2019s pretty wild how accurate some of them were! So, here\u2019s a roundup of responses, plus any necessary current context:1. \u201cArmie Hammer will lay low for a few years, quietly rehab his image, and a controversial director will greenlight him in a project.\u201d \u2014Anonymous<\/a>\"Armie<\/p>\n

Armie was quote-unquote \u201ccanceled\u201d in 2021 after multiple women made disturbing allegations against him, all of which he vehemently denied. A year after the controversy unfolded, Armie was laying low and working as a timeshare salesperson<\/a> in the Cayman Islands. He remained out of the spotlight for a while before slowly resurfacing<\/a> in the public eye \u2014 and last year, he wrapped shooting<\/a> the films Frontier Crucible, directed by Travis Mills, and Bone Tomahawk, produced by Dallas Sonnier.\"Armie<\/p>\n

2. \u201cAriana Grande will get divorced from her hubby in a couple of years. I\u2019m being horribly mean but I don\u2019t see it lasting.\u201d \u2014u\/deeznoobs16<\/a>Ariana was married to real estate agent Dalton Gomez for two years before they got divorced<\/a> in 2023. She hasn\u2019t revealed<\/a> a ton of information about the split, but she was linked to her Wicked costar Ethan Slater shortly afterwards. (She denied<\/a> cheating on Dalton.)<\/p>\n

3. \u201cMachine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox will have a nasty public breakup.\u201d \u2014Anonymous<\/a>\"Megan<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to keep up with Megan and MGK, but they\u2019ve seemingly<\/a> split<\/a> multiple times since this Reddit prediction was shared. In 2024, a source described the pair \u2014 who share a child together \u2014 as \u201cemotional and impulsive,\u201d while another insider told People<\/a> earlier this year that they \u201chaven\u2019t been together in a real way for a long time now and whatever they had romantically is done.\u201d\"Megan<\/p>\n

4. \u201cParis Hilton will have babies via surrogates. The marriage is in shambles, but they\u2019ll stick it out for a good long while \u2018for the children.\u2019\u201d \u2014u\/lucia912<\/a>\"Paris<\/p>\n

Indeed, Paris has welcomed two children with her husband, Carter Reum, via surrogates in 2023: A baby boy named Phoenix and a girl named London. However, this user\u2019s prediction about Paris and Carter\u2019s marriage is less accurate, given that he recently shut down rumors<\/a> of any tension between them.\"Paris<\/p>\n

5. \u201cDakota Johnson will get canceled for something, and she\u2019ll make it worse by talking about the problems with cancel culture instead of taking accountability or apologizing.\u201d \u2014u\/bortlesforbachelor<\/a>\"Dakota<\/p>\n

In 2024, Dakota faced immense backlash for her \u201carrogant\u201d response<\/a> to all the discourse around nepo babies. The actor, whose parents are Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, said that she found the conversation to be \u201cannoying and boring\u201d during an interview. Days later, she casually recalled relying on her mom for help when her dad cut her off financially for pursuing acting instead of going to college.<\/p>\n

Taylor and Joe were together for more than six years before they suddenly split in 2023 \u2014 and it\u2019s safe to say that the news caught everyone off guard<\/a>.\"Taylor<\/p>\n

8. \u201cIn order to keep up with the younger artists, Beyonc\u00e9 will join TikTok against her wishes and promote her album.\u201d \u2014u\/lucia912<\/a>\"Beyonc\u00e9<\/p>\n

Indeed, Beyonc\u00e9 shocked fans by joining TikTok<\/a> in 2022, bringing her entire music catalog to the platform, too. This happened just weeks before the release of her acclaimed album Renaissance, making this Reddit user\u2019s prediction all the more accurate!\"Beyonc\u00e9\"<\/p>\n

9. \u201cThere\u2019ll be a major public\/media reckoning on how terrible people were to Millie Bobby Brown.\u201d \u2014u\/georgie-biatch<\/a>\"Millie<\/p>\n

While a \u201cmajor public reckoning\u201d might be a stretch, I think it\u2019s fair to say that Millie has been met with more positivity than negativity online in recent years \u2014 namely since she called out<\/a> reporters who cruelly criticized her appearance<\/a> last March.10. \u201cEmma Watson no longer acting and just does full-time activism\/feminist related work.\u201d \u2014u\/georgie-biatch<\/a>\"Emma<\/p>\n

Emma hasn\u2019t officially retired from acting, but she has taken an extended break since her last film, Little Women, came out in 2018. She remains politically outspoken<\/a>, speaking out in solidarity with the people of Palestine and raising awareness around subjects like environmental justice and transgender rights.\"Emma\u00a0taking<\/p>\n

11. \u201cMarvel\/Pixar\/Disney animation will release a new movie that\u2019s \u2018so gay\u2019, but it just has one scene during a pride parade and a single shot of a male character\u2019s hand touching another man\u2019s hand or something.\u201d \u2014u\/syrub<\/a>\"Buzz<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, multiple LGBTQ+ scenes in Disney and Pixar movies have sparked negative reactions from some viewers, but one notable example came in the film Lightyear. While the Disney film was released in 2022, the brief moment of LGBTQ+ representation in it drew backlash<\/a> from rapper Snoop Dogg in 2025. He said he recalled thinking, \u201cOh ****, I didn\u2019t come in for this ****! I just came to watch the ******* movie,\u201d before adding, \u201cI\u2019m scared to go to the movies now! Like, y\u2019all throwing me in the middle of **** that I don\u2019t have an answer for!\u201d\"Snoop<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a moment to praise the film\u2019s lead, Chris Evans, who called out anti-gay viewers<\/a> of the film. \u201cThe real truth is those people are idiots\u2026 There’s always going to be people who are afraid and unaware and trying to hold on to what was before,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

12. And finally, \u201cThe Skins alum, i.e. Daniel Kaluuya and Dev Patel, will continue to dominate and put out great projects. With the right choices, Nicholas Hoult and Jack O\u2019Connell will go places, and I could see that especially for Jack.\u201d \u2014u\/Historical-Digs<\/a>\"Dev<\/p>\n
