Actor Alec Baldwin looks like he may either be pointing or pinching - like a crab - but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say it's a point, because crab hands would be even weirder.Jennifer Graylock/FilmMagic
Jessica Alba, Roxanne Mesquida, and Nora Arzeneder all managed to keep their cool at the Christtian Dior Fall/Winter 2010-11 high fashion show at the Rodin, but Jared Leto, passionate man that he is, was just so overtaken by one of the looks that he simply had to point at it.
Like we said, it is a deep, human urge.Michel Dufour/WireImage

The fate of the X factor rests in your hands. One of which is currently pointing.SAV/GC Images
Now that's a point with purpose. Kathy Griffin is not taking prisoners: She knows exactly who she's pointing at. She's also probably making a joke about them.David Livingston/WireImage
Jennifer Lopez points in the floppiest way possible - perhaps she's keeping the point relaxed to go with the gorgeous green beach getup she's got going on. What's she pointing at? I dunno, a big wave? The Ocean In General? Who's to say.Olivia Salazar/Getty Images
The Rock knows how to Rock a point, obviously. And he's pointing at something funny - perhaps the photographer had one of those little squeaky toy clowns by the lens to get his attention. Nice move, camera guy.Steve Granitz/WireImage
Meghan Markle points up in this photo - from 2018, back when she was still Princess Megan Markle. She might also be wagging her finger, a very British thing to do. (Thank goodness we got her out of there in time. She would never have done a finger gun again. Now there's still time.)Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images
More Peak Pointing! (Not that you can really say Rihanna ever truly Peaked.) Here's a random point from Rihanna in 2008 - is she pointing at her future in the fashion world? Or perhaps just some Rude Boy?Gregg DeGuire/WireImage
Jay-Z is clearly just pointing because he's SO EXCITED to be doing the 2012 Made In America Festival in Philadelphia. (What up, 215?!) He's matching the crowd's energy, we're sure - this concert happens on a highway on the Fourth of July.Kevin Mazur/WireImage
Jennifer Lopez will never go out of style, and neither will the audience point. Who is she singing to? Which lucky stranger in the crowd has she focused on? It was ten years ago, but we hope whoever they are still feels special.Jeff Kravitz/AMA2011/FilmMagic
Katy Perry means business with this point. It happened at the height of her fame too - in October 2009. This is a Prime Perry Point right here.Julien Hekimian/WireImage

Justin Bieber is rocking the messy look in this 2018 photo, where we THINK he's pointing at something...but he might just be trying to get the paparazzi attention off him. "Look! It's Billie Eilish!" (It's not.)Gotham/GC Images
Tyler The Creator is either pointing to God or the nosebleed seats in this 2019 photo of him performing in London, England - he's certainly not doing it to get anyone's attention, as the lime green suit does a super job at that.Venla Shalin/Redferns
They say it's not ladylike to point, but if the Queen's doing it, who are we to judge? (She's not really pointing so much as 'gesturing.' It's the Polite way to point.)Max Mumby/Indigo - Pool/Getty Images
Actress Kristen Stewart, recently of the movie 'Spencer' (but also of Twilight) points to her own head - because that's where it's at. (Either that or she's pointing at a fly buzzing around above her head. How annoying.)Munawar Hosain/Fotos International/Getty Images
"YOU get a Starship, and YOU get a Starship..."
Nicki Minaj points, decked out in this 2011 concert photo, clearly couldn't choose just one person to point at in her fabulous audience - they all deserve a shine from her. (If only she could actually hand out Starships.)Larry Marano/Getty Images

Macaulay Culkin is charming as ever with this action shot finger point from 1990. He couldn't possibly be pointing at his new fiancee, Brenda Song - but we hope deep down he knows she's out there. You're gonna go through some stuff kid. But you'll be okay. (Also, your little brother is gonna be on Succession.)Dave Benett/Getty Images
Brad Pitt looks thrilled to be giving this weird tiny point off camera in 2012. Him and Hanks - do we dare dub it the Year Of The Point?Paul Morigi/WireImage
Kim Kardashian is IN CHARACTER as Wonder Woman, and whomsoever she points at will be lost under her spell and immediately have to tell the truth.

Ahh, pointing. It's like exclaiming with your finger. Or something.
For all the awesome celebrity candids out there, there are a surprising number where they're all basically doing the same thing. And one of those same things we all do, apparently, is point.
From Kristen Stewart to the Queen of England, it seems everybody loves a good point - or finger guns, if you will. It's just one of those little human things we do - like making dumb faces at babies and licking Dorito dust off our fingers. It's just second nature.
Here's 22 pictures of celebrities pointing at nothing in particular - or maybe it's something after all! We don't know. Use your imagination.
