From Lionel Messi to Leonardo DiCaprio, celebrities are the apple of our eyes, loved by many and envied by some. Their status as cultural icons is unparalleled and leaves us in awe and admiration.
On the other hand, while many celebrities are adored by the masses, some leave us feeling spooky. Her personal life is often shrouded in darkness, and some of her actions can be unsettling upon closer inspection. Here are 12 celebrities people love even though they’re creepy.
1.Leonardo DiCaprio
The Titanic heartthrob is easily one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. But while many people swoon over him, the fact that most of his relationships are with younger women is odd. Worse, women tend to get the boot when they are 25 years old.
From Blake Lively to Nina Agdal, Leo has never lasted with a woman past 25, and for the man who died for love, that says a lot.
2. Mark Wahlberg
Marky Mark has enjoyed 30 years of showbiz success, but his past is darker than his Funky Bunch days. At the age of 15 he was accused of assaulting African American students and he was also charged with attempted murder and one felony. His criminal record aside, Mark has some grandiose delusions — he once claimed that if they had been on the plane, he and his buddies would have taken out the 9/11 terrorists. It looks like he has more crazy dreams to pursue.
3.Steven Tyler
Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler did it all. TV personality, songwriting, acting and the demon of Screamin propelled his band to popularity from the mid-seventies through 2018. However, the Grammy Award-winner has a pretty screwed-up past involving grooming and sexually exploiting sixteen-year-old Julia Holcomb.
After convincing her mother to give him guardianship of Julia since she had a troubled home, Steven assaulted and drugged her. By the time she was 17, he had gotten her pregnant and threatened to abort the child. He was 26 at the time. Later in his memoir, Tyler writes about how he got it wrong in his activities with a “Julia Halcomb”.
4. Mahatma Gandhi
Gandhi, the father of Indian independence, is known for his peaceful nature and inspirational quotes. But this loincloth-wearing legend has a dark side. He sent love letters to Hitler and called Mussolini a “Superman”. He also used to call his assistants “walking sticks” and let them massage him naked. Gandhi: Not quite the saint we thought he was!
5. Tom Cruise
When you have an impossible mission to complete, Tom Cruise is the agent to call if you accept. However, the daredevil actor has some antics that cause everyone to take a second look at the man.
In 2005, in what is probably one of the most bizarre things on television, Cruise jumped over Oprah Winfrey’s couch during an interview and expressed his love for his then-wife Katie Holmes, who later left him when he was preaching Scientology to their young daughter. Scary.
6. Jared Leto
Method acting is an excellent way to step into a role and perfectly portray a character. There’s a point, however, when preparing for a role goes too far, and Jared often walks that line. For example, in his last appearance, Morbius, Jared walked slowly to the bathroom on his crutches, taking his time between takes. To save time, the crew had to take him to the toilet in a wheelchair.
To make matters worse, he often sends dead animals to his co-stars and crew, and has a cult-like following that looks up to him as a messianic figure.
7.Kris Jenner
The Kardashians made a name for themselves by making their lives fun, which is weird in its own way. But Kris Jenner used the W oddly many times, and it still ended up winning for her. In 2007, Ray J made a sex tape with Kris’ daughter, Kim Kardashian.
Ray later claimed that in addition to orchestrating the shoot of the sex tape, Kris got the couple to take multiple shots before they chose the best one, which would “leak out” to the public. mother of the year?
8. Lady Gaga
I know it’s her whole performance, but listen to me. Her perfume sold incredible numbers as it allegedly contained traces of blood and semen.
She once wore a live roach hat because “roaches react to her music.” If that doesn’t make you shudder, the time she covered herself in blood on stage or wore a meat dress to the MTV Music Awards will.
9.Drake
Topping the charts comes naturally to the Canadian rapper and performer. Still, in recent years, Drizzy has been thrust into the spotlight for his relationships with girls under the age of 17. Musician Billie Eilish told Vanity Fair how cool her time talking to Drake was and texted him on the phone.
Obviously, a text message from one of the biggest names in music would make just about anyone swoon. But Drake was 33 at the time and she was 17. But Billie isn’t the only underage celebrity the rap star occasionally texts. Millie Bobby Brown frequently dated Drake when she was 14 and he was 31. There are also videos of the musician flirting with underage girls and kissing them.
Stranger things have happened, okay.
10. Tilda Swinton
Everyone says she looks a little off and if you stare at her long enough – well, I’ll leave that to you to judge. Tilda is a standout actress doing a great job in Hollywood, but something from her childhood puts her on this list.
Tilda openly admitted that when she was four she considered killing her newborn brother just because he was a boy, and she already had two others. However, she went no further.
11. Woody Allen
Woody Allen is touted as a brilliant filmmaker who does an extraordinary job. Occasionally that’s true. But the art mimics life to an amazing extent, and his work consists largely of adults falling into odd relationships with younger people.
His own stepdaughter, Dylan Farrow, alleged that Woody sexually abused her when she was just seven years old. As if the throwback from that wasn’t enough, Woody married another of his adopted daughters, Soon-Yi Previn.
12.James Franco
Let’s just say Franco’s reputation isn’t exactly squeaky clean. Some might even call him the scariest celebrity since the guy who invented the line, “Hey little girl, do you want candy?” Line.
Apparently, he had a habit of texting 17-year-old girls asking them to meet him in hotel rooms. And if that wasn’t bad enough, he even sent them screenshots of himself in various states of nudity. Talk about oversharing! Also, he had a penchant for requesting nude and sex scenes in films he starred in, and when the actress didn’t star he got angry.
