“Knowledge is power.” – That’s what wise men and women have been saying for millennia, and yet too much of a good thing can be bad for you. In the case of celebrities, we as fans really enjoy learning more about our favorite actors, musicians, artists, athletes, etc., but there comes a time when they start oversharing, and all their charm just fades away instantaneously.
From strange fetishes to weird intimate stories and other private moments that should’ve remained private, you’re welcome to peek behind the TMI curtain if you dare.
1. Matthew McConaughey’s Foot Rub
In a recent TV appearance, where McConaughey was promoting his book for kids, something went horribly wrong, and the focus of the interview switched to a different subject – foot massages. Matthew ended up giving co-host Joy Behar an impromptu foot rub when she was trying to show off her pedicure, just as she did back in 2006. Weirdly, McConaughey started telling the audience how his dad used to rub his girlfriends’ feet and how much they loved it. So naturally, the actor followed in his old man’s footsteps (pun very much intended).
2. Tony Bennett Met His Wife Before She Was Born
Tony Bennett and his wife, Susan Benedetto, had an incredible love story. Susan’s parents introduced her to Tony at a concert in 1966, but here’s the kicker: Susan was still in her mom’s womb at that time, and Tony was already 40. Baby Susan grew up with a deep love for Tony’s music thanks to her parents’ guidance and even ran a Tony Bennett fan club in San Francisco. When she was 19, she finally got to meet her idol backstage and asked him out on a date. Sometime later, they tied the knot and lived happily ever after. That is until Tony got diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2016. Susan became his caregiver and stood by his side until his passing in July 2023 at the age of 96.
3. Meghan Trainor’s Puke-Stained Kiss
When Daryl Sabara popped the big question to Meghan Trainor on her 24th birthday in December 2017, she naturally shared the romantic moment on Instagram. But something icky happened the next day that she was not so quick to share, at least not at first. In her interview with The Talk, Meghan admitted that she puked all over her fresh new fiance when they were driving in their car home. She started apologizing, but Daryl told her he’d kiss her right there and then.
4. Prince Harry’s Frosty Tip
This little story isn’t weird because Prince Harry’s “royal member” got frostbitten during his trip to the North Pole. Oh, no, no. It’s weird because of how he described the cream he used to treat the ailment. Prince Harry said the cream had the same smell as the one used by his mother, Princess Dianna, to protect her lips. Now imagine telling a story about rubbing your junk with a cream that reminds you of your dead mother and not realizing how freaky it makes you sound.
5. Dax Shepard Volunteers To Suck It Out
This story may either gross you out, or you’d be completely fine. There’s no middle ground here. So, when celebrating their 10th anniversary, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard revealed to ET the secret of their happy family. Aside from having common goals, they are, apparently, ready to do whatever it takes to help each other out. During Kristen’s breastfeeding phase, she experienced mastitis three times, which can be quite dangerous if not addressed in time. Meds helped with the first two cases, but the last clog happened without any antibiotics on hand, so Kristen asked Dex to suck it out. Thankfully, it worked, but why would you tell everyone about it?
6. Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher Keep Their Kids Dirty?
And lastly, we have Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, who apparently do not bathe their kids on a daily basis but only when they’re dirty. They told the show’s host that soap cleans off natural oils, which dries the skin, so instead of a full-body scrub, the couple only use it on certain parts of her body like armpits and crotch area. And now they’re forcing their habits on their kids, Wyatt and Dimitri. Combine that with their “no closed doors” policy, and this family sounds more bizarre by the minute.
