Celebs Are Fry-ing High for National French Fry Day

French fries might be the most democratic food in America — no celebrity is too famous, too fit, or too fabulous to skip them. And today, on National French Fry Day, we’re celebrating the ones who’ve been caught red-handed (or grease-handed, technically) enjoying one of life’s greatest pleasures.

The holiday itself has quietly been building a loyal following since the early 2000s, but it didn’t officially land on the calendar until 2023, when organizers smartly planted it on the second Friday of July. That means every July, without fail, the second Friday becomes an unofficial day of permission to indulge — and celebrities like Karol G, Hugh Jackman, Dua Lipa, Sami Sheen, Demi Moore, and Tan France have all documented their own fry moments for posterity. Whether it’s a quick bite between takes, a casual street snack, or a full-on feast, there’s something genuinely relatable about watching A-listers do what we all do: eat fries without apology.

What makes this so fun is that fries transcend status. You won’t catch anyone turning down a golden, crispy handful because it’s“not on brand.”It’s the great equalizer of the culinary world — a reminder that at the end of the day, some of life’s simplest pleasures are the ones we all share. So whether you’re dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant or grabbing them at a drive-through, you’re in good company. Today, being satis-frying has never felt more inclusive.
