Celebrities are often a big deal in the news and influence many parts of our society or other areas of life. They often try to appear to be “just like us” and pretend that major amounts of money and/or fame don’t make a difference in how people live, but we usually know that’s not the case.
Regardless, many of us still like to show heavy interest in what goes on in the world of celebs as well as their daily lives and big actions that may impact others or just seem interesting to us. People like to pay attention to famous people for all kinds of reasons, and there are a lot of facts and on-goings many of us don’t notice because they’re hidden or not big enough news to be discussed often. Here are some of those lesser known and curious celebrity fun facts for you.
Dino Skull War
A Mongolian dinosaur skull was once so sought after by two celebrities it became a pretty huge bid war. Nicolas Cage and Leonardo DiCaprio bid against each other, among other bidders, to purchase this dinosaur skull, which actually had to be returned by Nick Cage in 2015 because the skull had been stolen to be sold.
Big Buys
Making poor financial decisions or overspending on things we find ridiculous is pretty much a given fact when it comes to celebrities. One example of this is when Mike Tyson spent over $2 million on having a solid gold bathtub for his mansion home. And that’s just one of many ridiculous purchases that many of us couldn’t even fathom.
Spoiled Kids
We’ve all seen how spoiled celebrity kids can be, from designer luxury toys and outfits to crazy large rooms or play areas. One of the weirdest examples of spoiled celebrity children is when Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey created an entire candy room just for their twins, which reportedly had any type of candy they could possibly want including a cotton candy machine.
Beyoncé Fly?
In 2021, a rare new species of horse fly was discovered in Queensland, Australia which had golden hairs on its abdomen. It was considered a “rare diva” of the types of horse flies out there, which is why this new species was named Scaptia beyonceae by researchers, including Beyoncé’s namesake for this gold adorned fly.
Movie Interruption
Ludacris rented out an entire movie theater in 2016 for his family and himself to go see a movie and as his social media post on the matter said, “disrupt the movie in peace”. Well, it’s considerate we guess? But this definitely is out of this world of a way to create a very extravagant and not really necessary solution to a simple problem.
Pet Central
Just like their children, celebrities often spoil their pets in grandeur as well. Paris Hilton once spent almost a third of a million dollars on a special mansion just for her pooch, which had two stories and 300 square feet of taken up space. The dog mansion even had a balcony, for what reason nobody really knows.
This is just the beginning of some of the weirdest or least known fun facts out there about different celebs that have occurred over the years. There are actually plenty of things that happen to or are done by celebrities we don’t hear much about, whether it’s to keep a good image for the individuals or just not important enough to be put on more circulated info options like news outlets or magazines or social media pages.
A lot of the people we think of as celebrities have pretty important rules to keep their appearance “right” for the public as well as upkeep a certain look. Some famous individuals don’t care as much about this idea, but most do so these facts get pushed under the rug for us to learn about later on through sources like this!
