You might want to think twice before googling your favourite celebrities as some might expose you to risky content online.

While it's generally fine to go and look for your favourite celebs online, some names could expose you online risks.

Among the riskier names is star of Barbie and The Notebook Ryan Gosling, which can land you in hot water online.

Before you ask, no not like that. I know it's the internet but get your mind out of the gutter.

This is actually about exposing your computer to potential malware attacks online.

So, if you search for Ryan Gosling for example and then click on a link which is high up the results it's more likely to take you to a website which could infect your computer.

Full list below

It's particularly true if you go out seeking to stream movies or TV shows online as such website are notorious for being high risk.

McAfee Labs has carried out a study of the names which could take you to a dangerous place, and Gosling is high on the list alongside Emily Blunt and Jennifer Lopez.

Steve Grobma, McAfee's Chief Technology Officer, said: "In today's culture, where celebrity news and entertainment are part of many people's daily lives, people are putting speed and convenience over their own online protection by clicking on pop ups and other suspicious links that promise celebrity-filled content.

"We also know people are seeking out free content, such as movie downloads, which puts them at risk.

"If it sounds too good to be true, it deserves a closer look."

He added: "AI has changed the game, and cybercriminals can now create very sophisticated scams at scale using the latest AI tools, and what better hook for them than celebrity news and information.

Googling Ryan Gosling has become more risky since he starred in Barbie.

"To keep people safe online and help protect their privacy and identity, consumers need to stay vigilant and think twice before clicking."

Luckily there are some steps you can take to help keep yourself safe online.

Firstly, be careful what you click on. It might sound obvious, but clicking on a dodgy link is probably a bad idea.

Secondly, don't stream illegally. In addition to being against the law it also puts your computer at risk.

Thirdly, only download from legitimate sites. Then, you should never provide any log in details to a third party which is asking for them.

Lastly, get some antivirus software on your computer, just in case.

Anyway, here's the full list of the riskiest names to search:


  1. Ryan Gosling
  2. Emily Blunt
  3. Jennifer Lopez
  4. Zendaya
  5. Kevin Costner
  6. Elon Musk
  7. Al Roker
  8. Margot Robbie
  9. Bad Bunny
  10. America Ferrera
