Rachel McAdams is a Hollywood A-lister, who surprisingly, avoids many of the technologies that have become commonplace for the rest of us. The actress told People she is “terrible at e-mail” and learned about Twitter later in life.

“I listen to the news on the radio. I don’t have a television and am terrible at e-mail. [It was] only [recently] that I heard about Twitter for the first time, and it’s all I’ve heard about since. I’m ignorant.”

However, it has since become a common topic of conversation. The Hollywood star’s disinterest in these mediums reveals an affinity for a less complex, more offline way of living. Rachel McAdams also doesn’t own a TV but listens to the radio for information.

By separating herself from the constant stream of information and media noise, she can stay calm and give her full attention to the things that are truly important to her, such as her art and her well-being.

Rachel McAdams’s lack of a driver’s license is a surprising aspect of her life. The Doctor Strange star has made it through life without owning a vehicle, although many consider driving a crucial skill. Instead, she prefers to use the lowly bicycle as her primary mode of transportation.

When asked by the Toronto Star about her cycling habits, McAdams said,

“I sort of drive my bike like a maniac around Toronto.”

It may be surprising to learn that someone who can afford chauffeurs or private transportation has no driver’s license. McAdams’ decision, on the other hand, indicates her boldness and refusal to conform to societal norms.

The Notebook actress’ co-stars and professional peers have often remarked on McAdams’s affable demeanor. Her co-star in The Time Traveler’s Wife, Eric Bana, praised her sincerity, calling her the most “normal” celebrity he has met.

“Rachel’s someone who would survive outside of this business. She just blends with the traffic on the street. She’s someone from the real world and not at all affected by the industry.”

This sets McAdams apart from the majority of her fellow Hollywood actresses. Her determination to preserve her unique identity and her ability to blend in with city traffic test her strength and determination.
