In light of the coronavirus pandemic, more and more people around the world have been staying home and socially distancing – celebrities included.
While some are viewing being stuck at home as a chance to slow down and regroup, many are looking for ways to fill their time with various activities to keep from getting bored. Others still, like late night show hosts, music stars, and more, have been getting even more creative with posting content on social media – providing entertainment for fans, bringing awareness to the current situation, boosting everyone’s morale, urging people to donate to organizations and people in need, and more.
It’s definitely a sudden change from the usual hustle and bustle of everyday life – and everyone is looking for ways to cope with these unpredictable times. Check out what these stars have been doing:
Harry Styles:
“I’ve been keeping somewhat of a schedule. I’ll get up in the morning, I meditate so I’ll meditate in the morning and then have a coffee and do some reading to kind of just try and wake up a little bit. And then I go for a run, try and get some air and some sunshine, and try and work out in the morning or something. And then I’ll try and do a little work and just go for a walk in the afternoon. I just been trying to get some air and not see anyone. But I’ve been going for drives and stuff just to get some air and some sun on my face,” Harry told Zane Lowe on Apple Music.
He continued, “I’ve been writing so much. I think you just naturally, if you’re in this kind of situation, you find yourself just at instruments so much. You know? To be honest, I’m doing some of the stuff that I should be doing more often anyway, probably I should be playing the piano more. I should be playing the guitar more. I should be writing poems and lyrics more. So I’ve been doing a lot of that.”
Niall Horan:
“I’ve just been sat in this position, at the piano. Got the guitar here. I wrote a couple of times. Definitely finding it hard to get motivated when all I can do is sit in my living room. Wrote a few tunes, been doing a bit of cooking for myself,” Niall explained on The Tonight Show.
He continued,” I’ve got really bad knees and I’ve never run before but I ran about 15 kilometers this week…just to get out of the house. Other than that, general lounging!”
Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes:
“Shawn is teaching me this and I’m teaching him Spanish,” Camila captioned a photo of herself holding up a guitar on her Instagram Story. “In the words of dababy LETS GOOOO.”
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton
Looks like Gwen is practicing her hairdressing skills on her boyfriend, adding stripes on Blake’s “quarantine mullet.”
John Legend
John has been working on new music as well.
“The new album is coming, we’re mixing it, we’re getting out strings finished,” he told Jimmy Fallon. “I’m not sure how we’re going to execute the string recording, because I don’t know how we can distance ourselves in an orchestral recording, but we’ll figure it out. Either way, most of it’s already recorded… and we just have to do a little bit of finishing up.”
He says it’s “probably my sexiest album to date” and joked that it could probably be helpful “if you’re stuck at home and want to make some corona-babies.”
James Corden
James is hard at work on a primetime special, Homefest: James Corden’s Late Late Show Special, which will air on Monday (March 30) at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.
According to Deadline, James will be hosting the show from his garage and interviewing stars like magician David Blaine and comedian Will Ferrell via video chat. BTS is doing a musical performance all the way from South Korea, Andrea Bocelli from Italy, which is on lockdown, and Dua Lipa from London. Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas, as well as John Legend, who are all in Los Angeles, will be performing as well.
The special will encourage viewers to donate to the CDC Foundation and Feed the Children as this crisis continues.
