Magazines enjoy doing features of “celebrities are just like us” showing a-list stars doing everyday errands. What defeats that is how many of those stars were loading groceries or on a shopping trip in a car that cost more than some people’s apartments. Scores of celebrities enjoy flaunting their wealth in some great automobiles, especially sports stars. A few may be low-key but enjoy a fun ride.

This is why it’s notable when some major stars drive serious beaters. It’s one thing for, say, a sitcom star to go around in a Prius. It’s another when a star known as a legitimate badass in real life chooses to drive in a beater than some awesome car. It happens, however, as some stars may have great cars but still an odd choice. Here are eight major stars who surprisingly drive cars much weaker than any of their fans would guess.

8 Mark Wahlberg Toyota Sienna Minivan

Mark Wahlberg has seen an amazing road from a boy band to a rapper and then an Oscar-nominated actor. The proud Boston native loves to talk about tough times in the past, and his action roles prove he can hold his own in a real fight.

He has some impressive cars in his collection, but lately, Wahlberg can be spotted driving a Toyota Sienna minivan. Granted, it’s because of how he’s a proud family man, yet Marky-Mark behind the wheel of a “mom car” is still striking.

7 Michelle Rodriguez Prius

Even before becoming Letty in the Fast and Furious movies, Michelle Rodriguez was known as a truly tough lady. She came to fame playing a boxer in Girlfight and has mixed some top action roles. She’s just as tough in real life, from doing her own stunts to adrenaline sports.

Which is why it’s amazing she drives...a Prius. Yep, the image of Letty behind the wheel of this simple car is significant divergence from her on-screen image and shows Rodriguez enjoys a slower ride now and then.

6 Ronda Rousey Honda Accord

From the UFC to WWE, Ronda Rousey has proven she’s a true legit badass fighter. The “Most Dangerous Woman on the Planet’ is capable of taking grown men apart and loves to flaunt her badass persona anytime she gets...unless it’s on the road.

Because for a long time, Rousey literally lived in a Honda Accord. She did finally sell it but with reluctance and it's amazing to consider how one of the toughest women around went around in this awful beater.

5 Colin Farrell Ford Bronco

He bounces between Hollywood blockbusters and some smaller films, but Colin Farrell is known for a hot temper (even if he’s mellowed in recent years) and a few fights over the years. This is a man who’s played super-villains, evil wizards, and more but goes around in an old Ford Bronco.

At the least, one would expect him to upgrade it to a better style of pickup, but Farrell keeps up with a truck that none of his action hero characters would be caught dead driving.

4 Mel Gibson Toyota Cressida

He’s had his (to be charitable) ups and downs, but Mel Gibson is known for a fiery temper while still showing his toughness in some action movies. The former wild man may have mellowed, but that temper can still erupt now and then, and few would want to be on the receiving end of his tirades.

Which makes it hilarious Gibson has a car older than most of his movie’s fans in a Toyota Cressida. The exact model appears to be between 1988 and 1992, so maybe he keeps it as one of his first cars. Yet it’s hysterical watching the original Mad Max driving this beater.

3 50 Cent Smart Car

After a famously rough childhood, 50 Cent rose to mega fame as a rapper and producer who enjoys flaunting his persona (from tough guy to rich star) as much as he can. The man infamously spent time in a juvie boot camp and can back up some of his tough talk in a fight.

He once had a fleet of cars, but a 2015 bankruptcy forced him to sell many off. He poked fun by showing off a Smart Car, which is about as opposite of “badass” as you can get. It looks like 50 Cent just enjoys a cheap ride now and then.

2 John Cena 1989 Jeep Wrangler

Going on two decades in pro wrestling, John Cena has easily jumped from WWE to Hollywood stardom. The tough-talking and rough wrestler does have a soft side (see his record Make a Wish visits) but is challenging in the ring. Cena is known for owning some great cars with some fabulous muscle machines in the mix.

A 1989 Jeep Wrangler is an offbeat choice, but the vehicle has sentimental value for Cena. He bought it with his first WWE paycheck, so Cena will keep this ride in his garage no matter his great success.

1 LeBron James Jeep Wrangler

As the current contender for the NBA’s GOAT label, LeBron James has proven his toughness. He’s battled through injuries and adversity to dominate as a multiple NBA champion and All-Star and intimidating on the court.

His success has allowed him to own a fleet of fantastic automobiles with Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes, and more six to seven-figure cars in his fleet. This is why it’s odd he also drives a Jeep Wrangler around Los Angeles. Seeing this superstar in a low-level jeep can be a strange sight for fans.
