Josh Brolin, famous for his roles in Dune and Avengers, wished fans a Happy Holi in 2019 by sharing a throwback picture from his visit to India in 2013. In the picture, he and writer Gregory David Roberts can be seen all smiles while drenched head-to-toe in colours. Josh seemed to have gotten the Holi outfit down pat as he was seen dressed in shorts and a vest.

In 2017 when Priyanka Chopra attended the Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show, she introduced him to Holi. She explained how Holi is a ‘big party with lots of colour’ to celebrate spring and good over evil. When he said, “How fun is that, it’s like a giant rave.” He then brought out paints instead of colour and thandai so she doesn’t miss home. Jimmy and Priyanka then proceeded to have a Holi fight.
Australian chef-model Sarah Todd and Pharrell Williams were among the few celebs who attended the Holi party thrown by Adidas in Mumbai in 2018. While Sarah looked happy in the ‘post colour attack,’ fans pointed out that Pharrell did not look as impressed by the festival of colours. One fan even wondered on X ‘what did Bollywood do to him’ sharing a few of his pictures and videos back then.
