15 Weird Habits of Famous Celebrities
We put celebrities on pedestals, admiring their glamorous lifestyles and perfect appearances on red carpets. But behind the glitz and glamour, these stars are just like us—complete with bizarre habits, strange rituals, and quirky compulsions that would make anyone raise an eyebrow.
From airplane superstitions to unusual beauty treatments, the rich and famous have some truly odd ways of navigating daily life. These peculiar behaviors often serve as coping mechanisms, good luck charms, or simply personal preferences that have become ingrained over the years.
Sometimes they stem from genuine conditions like OCD, while other times they’re just eccentricities that money can’t cure. Here is a list of 15 weird habits of famous celebrities that prove stardom doesn’t make you any less quirky.
Megan Fox’s Britney Spears Flying Ritual
Megan Fox has convinced herself that if she listens to Britney Spears music while flying, she won’t perish in an aircraft accident. Although she is a nervous flyer, the actress told Kelly Clarkson that she thinks early 2000s pop music has something to do with her destiny.
While listening to Spears’ well-known song “Oh baby, baby,” Fox specifically stated that she knows she won’t “meet God.” Although the reasoning behind this peculiar coping strategy is still entirely her own, it appears to have made her feel safer when flying.
Jennifer Aniston’s Airplane Boarding Ritual
Jennifer Aniston has a very particular pre-flight ritual that includes tapping the outside of the aircraft after putting her right foot on the aircraft. The “Friends” actress has acknowledged that she is extremely superstitious when it comes to flying and follows this custom religiously before each journey.
Her combination of right-foot-first boarding and plane-tapping is undoubtedly unique among celebrity travel habits, but she is not the only one with airplane superstitions.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Identical Daily Outfit
Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, avoids what he refers to as “decision fatigue” by wearing the same gray t-shirt every day. He thinks that removing wardrobe options frees up his mind to concentrate on more significant choices, which is why he has several copies of the same shirt.
Psychology actually supports this habit; according to the theory, we can only make so many wise choices in a day before our judgment deteriorates. Most people would consider Zuckerberg’s extreme use of this idea to be rather odd.
Taylor Swift’s Lucky Number 13
Taylor Swift has an obsession with the number 13 that goes far beyond casual superstition—she was born on December 13th, turned 13 on Friday the 13th, and her first album went gold in 13 weeks. For years, she wrote the number 13 on her hand before performances and has noticed that many of her career milestones somehow involve this number.
Swift has turned what many consider an unlucky number into her personal good luck charm. Her first number-one song even had a 13-second intro, and she’s often been seated in row 13 or section M (the 13th letter) when winning awards.
Cameron Diaz’s Elbow Door Opening
Cameron Diaz opens doors exclusively with her elbows due to her obsessive-compulsive disorder and fear of germs. The actress worth over $140 million can’t seem to shake this compulsion, even though it sometimes looks odd in public.
Diaz has explained that touching dirty doorknobs and handles causes her genuine anxiety, so she’s developed this workaround to avoid contact with potentially germ-infested surfaces. While this might have seemed prescient during the pandemic, she’s been doing it for years regardless of global health concerns.

Eminem’s Complete Darkness Sleep Requirement
Eminem can only sleep in complete darkness and requires hotel staff to black out windows entirely when he’s touring. The rapper needs absolute darkness to get his rest, going far beyond just closing curtains or wearing an eye mask.
Hotels have to cover windows completely to meet his sleep requirements. Interestingly, this habit actually has scientific backing—complete darkness helps the brain produce more melatonin and achieve better sleep quality, so Eminem might be onto something with this particular quirk.
Kanye West’s Inappropriate Sleeping Habits
Kanye West has a habit of falling asleep in inappropriate places and situations, including during important business meetings. Kim Kardashian revealed this quirk during an interview, explaining that he’s taken her to meet designers she’d never met before, only to fall asleep during the meeting and leave her to handle the awkward situation alone.
Whenever she gets annoyed with him about it, he blames jet lag—even when he hasn’t flown anywhere in months.
David Beckham’s Even Number Obsession
Soccer legend David Beckham has OCD that requires everything in his life to be in even numbers or pairs. This includes his socks, soft drinks in the refrigerator, and virtually every other aspect of his daily life. If he finds an odd number of items, he’ll throw the extra one away to maintain his system.
Beckham even has three separate refrigerators in his home—one specifically for food, another for salads, and a third dedicated to drinks. This level of organization goes far beyond normal tidiness into genuine compulsive behavior.

Mariah Carey’s Purple Food Days
Mariah Carey follows a bizarre eating routine where she only consumes purple foods three days per week. Instead of following trendy diets or expensive detox plans, the superstar chooses to eat exclusively grapes, plums, eggplants, and other purple items during these designated days.
She follows this routine obsessively without any deviation, believing it helps maintain her health and appearance. With access to the world’s best nutritionists and chefs, her choice to limit herself to purple foods three times a week is definitely unconventional.
Angelina Jolie’s Insect Eating Habit
Angelina Jolie enjoys eating insects and spiders, and has even gotten her children into the habit of snacking on bugs. The actress isn’t alone among celebrities in this practice—Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, and Justin Timberlake have also been reported to enjoy eating insects.
While this might seem gross to most people, insects are actually high in protein and considered delicacies in many cultures. Jolie’s willingness to embrace this unusual food choice shows her adventurous approach to nutrition and cultural experiences.
Simon Cowell’s Daily Tree Climbing
X-Factor creator Simon Cowell has a daily ritual that involves climbing trees as part of his regular routine. The famous judge considers this essential to his day and claims it helps put him in a good mood.
Along with his tree-climbing habit, Cowell also watches cartoons every morning before starting his day. These childhood-like activities seem to serve as his way of staying grounded despite his massive success in the entertainment industry.

Sandra Bullock’s Hemorrhoid Cream Beauty Secret
Sandra Bullock applies hemorrhoid cream under her eyes as an anti-aging beauty treatment. The actress has revealed that this unusual skincare method helps prevent wrinkles and fine lines in the delicate eye area.
While it might sound bizarre, hemorrhoid creams contain ingredients that reduce swelling and tighten skin, which explains why some people use them for cosmetic purposes. Bullock’s willingness to share this unconventional beauty tip shows she’s not too proud to use whatever works, regardless of how strange it might sound.
Christian Bale’s Reverse Superstitions
Christian Bale deliberately does the opposite of traditional superstitions, purposely walking under ladders and approaching black cats. The actor has admitted to going out of his way to challenge common superstitions, making this a ritualistic behavior rather than simple skepticism.
Bale actively seeks out situations that most people would avoid for luck-related reasons, including making 13 his favorite number. This contrarian approach to superstitions seems to be working out just fine for his career.
Catherine Zeta-Jones’ Strawberry Toothpaste
Instead of using toothpaste, Catherine Zeta-Jones uses strawberries to brush her teeth. The actress uses strawberry paste as part of her dental care regimen and says it helps keep her teeth white as she ages.
The majority of dentists would likely advise sticking with fluoride toothpaste for the best oral health, even though strawberries do contain natural acids that can help remove stains. Zeta-Jones’ devotion to this fruit-based dental treatment demonstrates her support for natural beauty techniques, even when they are not conventional.

Michael Jordan’s Lucky Shorts Ritual
Throughout his NBA career, basketball legend Michael Jordan wore his University of North Carolina shorts underneath his Chicago Bulls uniform. Jordan became convinced that those specific shorts were fortunate after he led North Carolina to a national championship in 1982.
He felt that wearing his college shorts underneath his professional uniform helped him succeed on the court, so he did so throughout his illustrious Bulls career. This superstition, which demonstrates how even the best athletes rely on psychological comfort items, became one of the most well-known athlete rituals in sports history.
When Quirks Become Legends
These strange habits remind us that fame and fortune don’t eliminate the human need for comfort rituals and personal quirks. Whether they stem from genuine psychological conditions, cultural traditions, or simply personal preferences developed over time, these behaviors have become part of what makes these celebrities uniquely themselves.
In a world where public figures are often expected to be perfect, their willingness to embrace their weirdness actually makes them more relatable and human.
