You will never ever guess who the top Google Images result for 'celebrity' is

Latest

Pop quiz: If you search the word “celebrity” on Google Images, which famous face comes up first? (No cheating!)

Brad Pitt? No. Beyoncé? Nope. The Pope? Not even close. We’d tell you to think long and hard about this, but you’re still not going to get it.


It’s Jack Black.

Yes, the 45-year-old star of School of Rock, Nacho Libre, and Kung Fu Panda represents the quintessential image of fame, at least according to the search engine. Runners-up: Beyoncé, Angelina Jolie, Rihanna, Leonardo DiCaprio, Taylor Swift, and George Clooney.

Of course, this has much more to do with the very SEO-friendly nature of the page Black’s picture appears on (a post about celebrities on social media, by the marketing platform Tint) than any objective ranking of celebrity status, but it is nevertheless our favorite thing we learned about the Internet today.

You do you, Jack Black. You do you.
