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

Rita Ora, who are you so excited to see getting straight out of the car at 'X Factor' auditions? Do you somehow know one of the contestants? Or have you simply already spotted the X Factor loose on the lot? Have you been assigned to chase it down? Can the show even go on without you? Go, Rita Ora. The fate of the X factor rests in your hands. One of which is currently pointing. SAV/GC Images
Comedienne Kathy Griffin performs on stage at the Pantages Theatre on February 3, 2012 in Hollywood, California.

Jennifer Lopez shoot a video on May 5, 2013 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
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
Dwayne Johnson attends the premiere of Warner Bros. Pictures' "Rampage" at Microsoft Theater on April 4, 2018 in Los Angeles, California.

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.

Singer Rihanna arrives to the 50th Annual GRAMMY Awards at the Staples Center on February 10, 2008 in Los Angeles, California.

Jay-Z performs during the Budweiser Made In America Festival Benefiting The United Way - Day 1 at Benjamin Franklin Parkway on September 1, 2012 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
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 onstage at the 2011 American Music Awards held at Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE on November 20, 2011 in Los Angeles, California.
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

Tyler The Creator performs at O2 Academy Brixton on September 18, 2019 in London, England.
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
Queen Elizabeth II watches a flypast by the RAF Red Arrows as she attends a military parade, held by the Household Division
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
Kristen Stewart at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on November 6, 2009.

Child actor Macaulay Culkin (left) with his younger brother Kieran Culkin, circa 1990.
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 arrives to the "In the Land of Blood and Honey" premiere at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on January 10, 2012 in Washington, DC.

TV personality Kim Kardashian attends her Halloween Masquerade at Stone Rose on October 30, 2008 in Los Angeles, California.
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. Wait, no. That's the truth whip. What do Wonder Woman's points do? Nothing? Oh, how appropriate for this article. Perfect. Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic

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.
