We are all human. Humans are required to feel different emotions (good and bad) at different times; love, joy, hate, disgust, surprise, trust, name it! These emotions define our lives so much that we have found ways to deal with them. We invented topics like emotional quotient, commonly known as emotional intelligence, to help us manage our relationships with each other. Basically, these emotions are what make us truly human.
More often than not, when someone reaches fame, we tend to forget about them. We put them on a pedestal and forget that they have thoughts and feelings just like us. Celebrities are human too, and like us, they have these feelings. It’s common for us to be jealous of celebrities, but do they give each other a green eye? Whether the incidences below are one-off moments of light or a constant craving, here are a few times celebrities have admitted to being jealous of each other:

Coincidentally, one of the songs Ed Sheeran wishes he had written is Jealous by Labyrinth.
9 Emma Stone
In one Vanity Fair interview, Emma Stone revealed that she feels envy towards Jennifer Lawrence. She was intimidated by the Hunger games talent of the actress, despite their close friendship.
