It’s surprising how many of our favorite stars have been behind bars – or at least been arrested. From drunk driving to drug possession, many have found themselves on the wrong side of the law – and been shot as a result.
Photos in the US are considered public record. The U.S. Constitution defines public records as information that is available to anyone who asks for it — making it particularly easy for the press to get hold of the photos and make them go viral.
Still, some of these celebrities seem positively over the moon about the arrest. Here are nine of the most iconic Hollywood photos of all time.
1. Khloe Kardashian
“Malika (Haqq) did my hair for my photo,” Khloé replied, referring to her actress friend. “I did my own makeup.”
2. Reese Witherspoon
“I disrespected the officer who was just doing his job,” Witherspoon told Us Weekly after the arrest. “The words I used that night definitely do not reflect who I am.”
A picture is worth a thousand words, and if her picture could talk, that’s what it would definitely say.

3. Tiger Woods
No one’s picture says “broken” quite like Tiger Woods’. The famous golfer was arrested on Memorial Day in Florida in 2017 on suspicion of driving under the influence. However, the internet had a field day with the unflattering shot, and it wasn’t long before it became a popular meme.
4. Justin Bieber
The “Baby” singer was arrested on suspicion of DUI and drag racing, according to Billboard.
5. Lindsay Lohan
No list of iconic photos would be complete without Lindsay Lohan, whose numerous run-ins with the law have produced more post-arrest photos than most. The Bad Girls the actress was in and out of rehab in her early 20s and was arrested for cocaine possession, drug possession, driving with a suspended license and probation violation, among others.
6. Donald Trump

7. Hugh Grant
Hugh Grant should probably win the award for the most embarrassing picture the world has ever seen, following his arrest in 1995 on charges of ‘indecent behaviour’. The Wonka the actor was arrested in Los Angeles with sex worker Divine Brown in his car – and his suave British persona was shot to shreds overnight.
8. Yasmin Blyth
A reformed Bleeth later told Glamour, “My friends said I looked like an alien, that my eyes were popping out of my sockets.”
9. Michael Jackson
In November 2003, pop star Michael Jackson turned himself in to police in California on charges of “lewd or lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14,” according to People magazine. The stark photo was shocking enough, but his weight – listed at the time of his arrest as just 54kg – was perhaps even more shocking.
