Carrie Coon

My family has never understood why I play crazy, angry, depressed people because that is not the way they think of me. They see me as a totally messy, klutzy goofball - kind of weird and hyper.

American Actress

Taylor Momsen

My legs are really long and that's cool apparently, but I'm totally klutzy. I mean, I'm like Bambi. I fall all over myself because I can't control my arms and my really long legs.

Laura Marano

I am the biggest klutz on set. I honestly don't think I have ever been as klutzy as when I'm on set. People call me 'Grace' ironically because I'm not graceful. It's ridiculous.

Katherine Heigl

I'm the most uncoordinated clumsy, klutzy person. I always had a bruise, I always tripped and fell.

Lauren German

I'm very klutzy. I've fallen off horses, I've tripped with my high-heeled boots over a stunt guy.

Erica Durance

I'm pretty klutzy and I've always been, so I have to own up to it. It's part of my charm!

Canadian Actress

Madeline Kahn

In Hollywood I thought I was large and klutzy, like the characters I played.

Zoe Kazan

I'm klutzy, and I don't embarrass easily.

Zoe Bell

New Zealander Actress

Used mainly in casual conversation among friends or in informal settings.

Not Insulting

People often use 'klutzy' to describe themselves in a humorous way when they do something awkward.

 authentic, no verbal irony present. Said to the klutzy kid tripping into English class and spilling his books and pencil case all over the room, now that is just harsh and verbally ironic because what you said is not what you meant. That is verbal irony.
