Do you wince when you see your weekly screen time report? Do you suffer from smartphone thumb? If so, you could be addicted to your device. These days we seem to be scrolling away our lives, staring at screens when we could be enjoying the world around us. Not these stars though, they have made a decision to put down their smartphones and smell the roses...

The ‘Juno’ star doesn’t own a smartphone or go on social media but doesn’t see it as a “big choice”. The 34-year-old actor told The Hollywood Reporter recently: “It doesn’t feel conscious. I guess it’s just something that I didn’t elect to do. “But I also don’t have a smartphone and that is a conscious choice because I feel a bit of fear about it honestly. Like I’d really lose control of my waking life.”

It's fair to say that Noel Gallagher is not shy to voice his opinion on anything and everything. The former Oasis rocker hates smartphones and insists the world was a much better place when we didn't have the internet in our pockets. He fumed: "I just want a basic 1994 Nokia mobile. I can keep it in my back pocket and just do the basics with it – phone and text. What would I need a camera on it for? iPhones are for Cockneys. And they are far too big.”

The ‘Donnie Darko’ star hates the fact that smartphones have distracted everyone from being in the moment. He moaned: "We're looking down. No one is looking up."

The 63-year-old music mogul says smartphones have killed physical communication between people. In 2020, Simon said: “Even if you limit it, you know, you don’t want your telephone to rule your life, and I find ... when you’re in a meeting or you’re having a conversation or you’re at dinner and someone’s reading whatever they’re reading on their phone, it’s like we’re not engaging anymore.”

The ‘Love Yourself’ hitmaker set himself technology boundaries and has chosen to keep in touch in touch with his loved ones exclusively via iPad. In 2021, Justin said: "I definitely learned how to have boundaries, and I just don’t feel like I owe anybody anything. "This has helped me to be able to just say no and just be firm in it and know that my heart [wants] to help people, but I can’t do everything. I want to sometimes, but it’s just not sustainable."

The 'Don’t Look Up' star, 32, confessed to being “not very good” at tech and she thinks spending ours on social media sites like Twitter via your smartphone is a waste of time and effort. She said: "I'm not very good on phones or technology. I cannot really keep up with emails, so the idea of Twitter is so unthinkable to me."

The ‘Dodgeball’ star finds his smartphone to be nothing but a constant irritation. In 2009, he said: "The phone thing drives me crazy. Everyone is phoning and texting. It's become a problem for me with pay phones becoming extinct. "Now I just drive the people around me mad by using theirs. I just started to email which I like but cell phones drive me mad. I'll never own one unless I absolutely have to."

The 79-year-old Academy Award winner admitted back in 2016 that he doesn’t own a smartphone or even “exist” online. At the time, Christopher said: "I don’t exist online. I don’t have a computer. I don’t have a cell phone. I don’t text."

The ‘Shape of You’ hitmaker, 32, revealed in 2022 that he hasn’t owned a smartphone for several years because of the constant pressure to check the social media apps. Ed said: "I got really, really overwhelmed and sad with a phone. I just spent my whole time just in a very low place. I got rid of it, and it was like a veil just lifted."

The ‘Your Song’ singer is not a fan of the impact that technology has had on people’s lives and has even suggested it would be a good idea if the internet was "shut down". The 75-year-old music legend said: "The Internet has stopped people from going out and being with each other. I do think it would be an incredible experiment to shut down the whole internet for five years. "Let's get out in the streets instead of sitting at home and blogging."
