Margot Robbie is one of the biggest A-listers right now in Hollywood thanks to the massive success of her movies, but she managed to have a quiet private life.

After all, the actress no longer has an active social media account and she rarely comments about her personal life in interviews. Even when she reportedly gave birth to a baby recently, she didn't release any official statement to confirm the life-changing event.

When she quit social media years ago, Robbie did not provide any proper explanation except that it will be "for the time being." However, up to this day, she remains mum on any platforms.

Adam Driver might be one of the busiest actors right now, but he's been keeping his personal life private to the public despite his stardom.

The Oscar-nominated actor rarely discusses his family or the happenings in his personal life whenever he is in an interview during the promo tour of his movies.

When asked in a past interview why he kept the news of his newborn baby a secret from the public, he said, "My job is to be a spy—to be in public and live life and have experience. But, when you feel like you’re the focus, it’s really hard to do that."

Sir Daniel Day-Lewis is considered to be one of the greatest actors of all time, but he also has one of the most private lives in Hollywood as he has a reputation for being reclusive.

While he has a celebrated career, Day-Lewis has not frequently starred in movies for the past few decades as there is usually a brief retirement between the projects. He also does not participate in media interviews during the promotional campaign of his movies.

In a past interview, Day-Lewis described his life as a "lifelong study in evasion."

Sandra Bullock is celebrated as one of the biggest A-list stars in Hollywood, but she managed to have a private life even as the paparazzi occasionally chases her.

The Oscar winner does not have a social media presence nor openly talks about her private life in a media interview. When her long-time partner passed away last year, she kept quiet and did not publicly discuss the situation.

"I’ve always been insanely private. When I [first] stepped into this, it was still loud. The tabloids were violating. I went, ‘How can people write that?’ I spent a year and a half, two years, distraught, saying, ‘You can’t say these lies.’ I spent years fighting battles you can’t win. As loud as it’s gotten now, it’s the same panic," Bullock said of her decision to have a private life in a 2015 interview.

Jessica Chastain is currently considered to be one of the great actresses today, and yet she managed to successfully keep her personal life private.

Despite having a social media presence, the Oscar winner rarely showcases her family or discusses the happenings at her home. She also doesn't have a lifestyle brand like some of the Hollywood A-listers.

"I don't have a lifestyle website. I'm not interested in the fame of being a personality. Some people are, and they love it, and that's great for them. The whole anxiety I had in 2011 was about not wanting to be in a room and have everyone stop and look," Chastain said in a past interview.
