Justin Bieber is not "Sorry", he is "done taking pictures." The musician first addressed the issue in a 2015 Snapchat rant saying "I want to enjoy the moment just as you're enjoying the moment but I can't enjoy it if I’m not feeling like there's any respect given to me at that moment." Bieber compared himself to a zoo animal saying "It has gotten to the point that people won't even say hi to me or recognize me as a human."

"Beauty And The Beast" star Emma Watson had to learn how to say "no" to selfies for her own safety. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the actress says, "If someone takes a photograph of me and posts it, within two seconds they’ve created a marker of exactly where I am within 10 meters. I just can’t give that tracking data.” Like many other celebs who refuse selfies, Watson has come up with a compromise for fans- she'll "answer every single Harry Potter fandom question you have" but she "just can’t do a picture."
