Intelligent People Who Beat The System In Clever Ways
This article was originally published on 24/7Mirror
Not all rules are meant to be broken, like ones that are actually laws. But sometimes, certain rules simply don’t make sense. To every rule, there is a loophole, it just takes a bit of creativity and innovative thinking to find it. Check out the following people who saw a rule that didn’t make sense, and knew that they were going to break it. We have to give them props for how ingeniously they did it—we would have never had the courage!
Dogs Must Be In Carriers
In New York City, the Transit Authority decided to enact a rule where dogs could no longer be allowed to simply be leashed on the subway. That meant owners could only bring their dogs if they were in a carrier of some kind.
This really limited the size of the dog that could be brought on the subway, as breeds like Great Danes and Huskies simply don’t fit in a smaller carrier. This man decided he wouldn’t let that rule hold him back and just placed his Husky in an oversized tote bag.
Just Add Skirts
Many private schools have very specific dress codes. In the winter, boys must wear slacks and at this school, that means the summer as well. The boys at this middle school felt it was unfair that the girls got to wear skirts, which allowed them to beat the summer heat.
The problem was solved when one smart middle schooler realized there was no rule against boys wearing traditional Scottish kilts. That’s one way to break the rules and show off some heritage.
Virtual Attendance
Parties have looked pretty different over the last year and a half, but that hasn’t stopped people from figuring out different ways to socialize. And just because you can’t physically be at a party due to social distancing rules, it doesn’t mean you can’t have a virtual one.
This friend simply joined the party virtually with his face on a tablet screen, and his friends even dressed him for the occasion, baseball hat and all.
Only Free Water
Music festivals can have some pretty strange rules, and for this one, the rule was that small businesses could not sell bottles of water at the event. First of all, this just seems dangerous, as festival-goers need to stay hydrated.
To deal with the no-water rule, this business simply sold peanuts with a side of free water. The festival committee would not have been able to get mad at them for this, after all, they were just giving water away.
A Different Kind Of Sharing
For some couples, they don’t feel the need to share everything, and for others, they share everything, including toothbrushes. There were only a handful of grapes left, that one of these partners had been saving.
Since sharing is caring, they offered half to their significant other, who decided to eat half of each grape. Technically, that is half of the grapes but not a half anyone would want to eat later.
Stuck In The Middle
Many parents like to teach their kids that kitchens are for eating, and the living room is for technology like the television. That is the rule this clever little boy was expected to live by.
What his parents didn’t bank on, was that he would simply eat in the kitchen, and keep his tablet on the border between the living room and the kitchen. Now, he can eat to his heart’s content, and watch his favorite show.
Never Miss A Match
Every country has its own set of rules, and in some gender equality is not as equal as it is in other places. These Iranian women knew they could not miss their favorite soccer team’s match in the stadium, but there is a rule in place that “protects women against a masculine atmosphere.”
They decided to embrace the masculine theme, and just attend the match dressed as men, wigs, beards, jerseys, and all. Now, that is dedication to the sport!
Just Another VIP
It can be hard to see all of the star-studded events on television, and be unable to attend them because you aren’t famous or rich enough. This guy wasn’t about to let that hold him back from crashing this VIP event though.
After looking at the guests on the red carpet, it became obvious that all that was needed was a wristband. He created his own and entered the party with ease.
Gender Segregated Dorms
Private universities are able to create all sorts of rules that may or may not make sense. At this college, one of the rules was that girls dorms are not allowed to have boys in them, and vice versa.
This couple wasn’t about to let that rule stop them from enjoying a movie night though. All they needed to do was set up an outdoor living room, and they were good to go for the evening.
Pre-Ticketing
There’s nothing worse than heading back to your vehicle after a nice meal or shopping spree, only to see the tell-tale sign of a ticket stuck underneath your windshield. Sometimes there will have been a five-minute period where your time has run out on the meter, and that is when the parking police decide to strike.
To avoid getting a ticket, simply make it look like you already have one, by placing a fake one on your windshield. Simple but effective!
All About The Lighting
This guy seems to be pretty confused about how photo booths work. First, you insert some cash, then, you wait for your photo to be taken. However, upon closer inspection, this guy might just be a genius.
Photobooths have great lighting, as they are designed to take passport photo quality pictures quickly. This guy is simply using the lighting to get his own well-lit selfies.
Welcome To The Flatbed Bar
Many cities have legislation in place that doesn’t allow bars to have outdoor seating spaces. Patrons are expected to hang out inside of the bar if they want to drink. This bar decided that its patrons needed a space outside where they could get loud, and it would give them some extra seating.
The answer was obvious, a flatbed truck parked outside broke no rules, and the flatbed was big enough that it could hold a few tables and chairs.
Looking To Buy An Airport?
Some people are natural con artists and Emmanuel Nwude was one of the best we have ever seen. One of his biggest cons involved the selling of a non-existent airport to a huge financial institution.
In fact, he was so convincing, he managed to sell the airport for a whopping $200 million, which he was more than happy to admit via Twitter.
Forced Affection
For parents, sending kids off to summer camp means that they will get to enjoy some kid-free time and simply relax. For the kids, summer camp is supposed to be a blast, but maybe not for Josh.
It seems like Josh’s camp has some interesting rules, like having to write letters to parents in order to eat. At least Josh is honest about why he is writing the letter, even if he doesn’t want to. We all need to eat!
A Sneaky Promo
Not everyone is great at doing math on the go, especially when they are in the grocery store getting ready to buy some drinks. The math on this sign seems particularly suspect once you start doing it.
According to this sign, it is much more economical to purchase more half-liters, than 1 liter or 2 liter bottles. Hopefully, whoever shopped here figured that out.
The Jack-O-Pineapple
As we have seen, dorms can have all sorts of special rules but this one does actually make sense. Jack-O-Lanterns were deemed fire hazards by the faculty, but that wasn’t about to stop this student from their Halloween traditions.
Pineapples can be hollowed out just like pumpkins, and while this may not be as scary as a real Jack-O-Lantern, it definitely embraces the spirit of Halloween.
Puppy Patrol
Whenever a family decides to get a pet, all parents know that they will end up looking after it. This little boy told his parents not to worry and created a very special puppy training program.
After watching some YouTube tutorials on how to be a good puppy, this boy decided that his puppy was trained. We hope it worked!
Any Coat Goes
We have seen the no shorts rule but now it is time for the blazer-only rule. The winter months tend to be cold, and only being able to wear a blazer around campus isn’t ideal.
This student read the dress code very carefully and noticed that there were no rules around what coats could be worn. Hence, he found a bear coat which definitely caught the attention of the administration.
Measuring Productivity
When employees work from home, there is a belief that they might not be as productive as they are when in the office. For this person, that is definitely true.
To show that they were ‘productive’ they simply taped down a key on their keyboard so that the employee tracking software was constantly active.
In the Dog House
Dogs are a person’s best friend, and when someone doesn’t love dogs as much as the other person in a relationship that can be tough, and lead to some special situations, to say the least.
This husband decided to show how he felt about the ‘No dogs on bed’ rule by choosing to sleep on the floor with his canine companion. We bet his wife changed that rule after seeing this.
A Bad Boy
Ladies love bad boys right? This guy decided to show off just how much of a bad boy he is by doing something so rebellious, any woman would be mesmerized. He wore his socks on the wrong feet to show just how unruly his inner self it.
The lucky lady who saw this must have been swept off of her feet by how ‘bad’ this guy is. As far as being bad goes, this has to be one of the most wholesome ways of showing it.
The Ultimate Soccer Fan
It’s not exactly easy to get banned from a stadium for life, but this Turkish man somehow managed to do it. He wasn’t about to let that keep him from attending his beloved team’s soccer matches though.
With a bunch of money, he was able to rent a crane, hang his team’s flag and enjoy the game from the sky. This man is the epitome of a soccer hooligan, and we have to say we’re impressed.
No Eating Allowed In Building
Some rules make zero sense, like this one where you can buy food in the mall but you are not allowed to eat it in the building. Why sell food if you have to go outside to eat it? It’s literally a rule begging to be broken, and this guy was going to break it.
He decided to disregard the rule and eat his food inside the building. We can’t say we blame him for sticking it to the man here.
The Ultimate Cheat Sheet
Many teachers have realized that allowing their students to create a cheat sheet actually improves their grades when taking tests. They study as they compose the cheat sheet, and as they write down various factoids, they retain that knowledge as they go.
This student treated their cheatsheet as if it was a masterpiece, and it should probably be framed post-exam.
Eating Healthily
Many people don’t think about just how important language is. The English language in particular has a ton of adjectives that all describe the same thing, and this person took advantage of that.
When asked if they were eating healthily, they describe a culinary masterpiece that they had just made. If you read the words closely though, you will realize it is just a high-level way of describing pizza.
Resume Writing Class
Teachers are always looking for creative ways to spice up their classes, and this teacher had the bright idea to teach resume writing with a flair.
Each student had to select a Marvel character and compose a resume for them. One student knew just who to choose to get out of actually writing an entire one though. Groot is a tree of few words.
A Hybrid Prius
We know, a hybrid Prius is just a regular Prius, right? For this one, a man owned two Prius; but he managed to crash both of them, which wasn’t very lucky on his part.
In a stroke of genius, the man realized he could combine the two mangled cars to create a whole one. The result is this six-door hybrid Prius, and honestly, this might be something Toyota should think about making.
All The Rolls
Some people require very specific instructions when it comes to going shopping. For example, this person was asked to pick up some ‘rolls.’
There are a lot of different roles that this could be referring to, and this person did not want to disappoint whoever asked by buying the wrong rolls. They will very likely be eating rolls for the foreseeable future.
Cooking Woes
Not everyone is a master chef and that is okay. However, it doesn’t take a genius to know that the 120 degrees listed in a cookbook mean temperature and not angle.
Whoever thought that placing a dish in an oven at 120 degrees must have never cooked before. That is the only possible reason for their decision to think this is how you bake a casserole.
Add A Bit Of Color
The relationship between a landlord and a tenant can be tricky. Landlords want their apartments kept in pristine condition, and tenants want the freedom to decorate however they want.
The one rule this landlord had, was don’t paint the walls and the tenant listened. That beautiful mural is actually hundreds of paint swatches glued together. Now that’s clever!
Plane Versus Plain
Language is important as we know, and it is especially important to understand the words that are being used when meeting a significant other’s parents.
This girlfriend wanted her boyfriend to wear a plain tie to dinner, but he took it as meaning a tie covered in planes. We appreciate that he let his personality shine through in his tie choice.
No Pressure
Surgery calls for some careful aftercare, and for this guy, that meant not having anything on his nose. That was a hard rule to follow since he wears glasses.
After some careful engineering, he developed a system to wear his glasses and have them not touch his nose. Now, this is innovative, and something other people may want to try.
Question Everything
Graffiti was once considered to be something illegal and lacking in artistic skill, but that idea has definitely changed over the decades. Now, graffiti is considered to be an art form when done by artists like Banksy.
This is not a Banksy though, but it does provide some food for thought. The person who responded thought so as well, “Why?” should we “Question Everything”?
Ready To Party
Business clothing isn’t exactly known for being fun. Suits and ties can be pretty constraining, which is why this guy decided to break out of the business mold.
Instead of wearing boring navy blue socks every day, he wears a pair of festive socks that only he knows about. This guy is the secret life of the office party.
Hi Carc
Ordering a coffee at a new coffee shop is always a bit of a trial. You have to decide what you want, order, and then share your name with the barista to write on your cup.
Nine times out of ten, the name is spelled wrong. Marc shared his name and even added how to spell it. Unfortunately, something was lost in translation and now he is Cark.
The Photoshop Suit
Most companies, expect their employees to dress professionally. This is also true for the company website where each employee has a headshot and a biography.
This employee had decided enough was enough, and when he was told he needed a headshot with business attire he turned to the internet. A little bit of Photoshop later, and his headshot was perfect. No need to buy a suit.
All Aboard The Mystery Machine
Every year it seems like schools become more and more non-denominational, which isn’t a bad thing. However, holidays like Halloween are usually pretty harmless. These parents found out that costumes were banned at their kids’ school, and decided to take matters into their own hands.
After a bit of sleuthing, they found the perfect group costume that also looked like regular clothing – the Scooby-Doo Gang. We wonder where Scooby is, though.
Changing Tires
In some countries, parking police will place a boot on the front wheel of a car that isn’t adhering to parking laws. These boots are very pricey to remove.
This man decided there was no way he was paying a parking fine, and simply grabbed his spare tire and swapped out the one with the boot. Sometimes complex problems call for simple solutions.
Yes To Unicycling
Strip malls always have smooth walkways in front of the stores which makes for some perfect skateboarding or cycling territory.
Mall security was tired of always having to chase after people on various wheeled devices, but they forgot one important one – unicycles. Now, this man can unicycle all over the complex.
Getting Into Character
Teachers love a creative student, but sometimes the instructions they provide are a bit too specific. For this assignment, students were expected to draft a letter from the perspective of a Chinese immigrant in the West.
What the teacher didn’t bank on was that this student was fluent, and could actually write a letter in Chinese. This should be an A.
Let’s Get Literal
Nowadays, guys love to ask for scandalous pictures of the object of their affection. For Marcus, he really wanted a photo of Denise in her bra.
What he didn’t anticipate is that Denise would literally send him just that – a school photo of her placed inside of her physical bra. That was well played, Denise.
No Outlet Until Now
One of the first things new drivers learn is what all of the road signs mean. This can take some time, as there are quite a few.
When a driver sees a ‘No Outlet’ sign it means that the road is a dead end. One savvy driver decided to change things up and add an outlet to the sign. Now there is an outlet, just not the road kind.
Between Two Signs
Anyone who lives in a big city knows just how hard it can be to find a good parking spot. If there are no garages, then you have to find a spot wherever you possibly can.
This motorcyclist read the signs, and then looked at the gap between them. Neither sign regulated the middle, which was the perfect spot for their bike.
Just Say No To Food
Many countries do not allow bars to only serve alcohol. They must have a food menu of some kind even if it is only basic snacks
This bar did not want to serve food at all, but because the law demanded it they offered just one item. For a whopping $200, patrons could purchase a platter of chips and salsa.
It’s All In A Name
In elementary school, students learn a lot of useful information like how to count and the names of different shapes. When looking at this test, you would think it would be obvious that the name means ‘square’ or ‘oval.’
This young student decided to get slightly more creative, and give all of the shapes feminine names rather than actually what the shape is. They should get bonus marks for creativity.
Flush First, Check Second
Nobody likes entering a toilet stall only to realize that someone has forgotten to flush. After a few too many unflushed toilets, management decided to address the problem.
Unfortunately, the sign was not received the way that management had intended. However, there are a lot of checkmarks now, so at least some people are flushing which is better than none.
Reverse Psychology
Grades are funny things. Some students routinely score high, while others score low, and sometimes they score right in the middle.
This student really wanted an A-, but they didn’t want to ask directly for their grade to be bumped up. One crafty email later, and the professor gave them the grade that wanted.
A Little Too Honest
Some sitcoms have real staying power, like Friends and The Office. They are totally relatable, which is why Amber decided to use a very specific quote for her graduation.
If you go to the episode of The Office; that she mentions, you will see how she really felt about high school. We hope you’re feeling better, Amber.
All Jumbled Up
Most people are taught how to do laundry by their parents. First, you separate all of the colors, and sometimes even different fabrics.
Then you wash them in cold, warm, or hot water. This person likes to live on the edge, and simply throw everything in the washing machine at the same time. Chaos works for some people.
Always Use A Cup
Offices have all sorts of special rules that make them unique places to work. Instead of allowing employees to drink out of whatever container they want, they have to drink out of styrofoam cups.
Not only is this not very eco-friendly, but it makes zero sense to pour a canned drink into a cup. We like how this person rebelled by just sticking a can in a cup.
These Far-Fetched News Captions Are So Wrong They’re Right
This article was originally published on TheFunPost
Television journalists go to college for years and then do a variety of odd jobs at television networks before they finally land their big break and get to read the news on air. The news they end up reading is typed into a teleprompter which is supposed to make their job easier, but sometimes the person responsible for the teleprompter doesn’t exactly get the prompts right. The following are some of the funniest news captions that could have been right but went oh so wrong. Imagine being in those journalists’ shoes when these happened!
News Update: It Is Possible To Be Killed To Death
There comes a time in every news anchor’s life when they have to report on a crime that sadly involves death. Most of the time, the reporter just relays the details of the story, and the news captions sums it up in a sentence. Whoever was on the teleprompter that day must have forgotten that there is such a thing as a double negative. According to the rules of grammar, if the verb ‘to kill’ is used it implies that the person is indeed dead.
You cannot be killed to death, because you are in fact already dead. Someone needs to brush up on their grammar.
Squirrels Can Be Used As Weapons In The Hands Of The Right Woman
This caption raises a lot of questions right away. Usually, when a person is stabbed, it is not with an animal, let alone a squirrel that doesn’t have any sharp sides. A blunt object, or in this case, an animal would be a pretty ineffective weapon, which makes us think there might be a typo here. This woman must have been pretty upset if the first thing she grabbed was a squirrel.
This story sounds like a Disney plotline gone bad, where the princess uses her magical animal friends to take care of Prince Charming for being naughty.
Always Remember To Buckle Up And Drink And Drive, Not
As the ones in charge of delivering important news, networks have to make sure that they always give good advice and ensure that it follows all laws in the jurisdiction. Memorial Day weekend is one of the most fun in America, and everyone gears up for barbecues full of food and a few adult beverages. If there is one thing all people should avoid doing that weekend it is drinking and driving.
Instead of promoting designated drivers for the long weekend, this network decided to promote drinking and driving as long as you have your seatbelt buckled. Whoever wrote this caption must have had a real talking to after it aired!
Sometimes The Whole Picture Involves A Charging Cat Roaring
One of the most popular types of news broadcasting is to play a 9-1-1 call, and show the back and forth exchange between the caller and the dispatcher. In one exchange that was broadcast, it appeared that a cat decided to attack its owners in their bedroom. Felines tend to run hot and cold when it comes to their human companions, and clearly, this cat was pretty angry. We’re not sure it warranted a 9-1-1 call unless it was a tiger.
In true broadcasting glory, the cat’s ‘voice’ was recorded and played for the audience to hear. Naturally, all the cat had to say was, “Raaarrrr!’
A Walmart Toilet Crisis And The Glue That Held The Story Together
Not all public restrooms are built the same. Some have fancy features like cloth hand towels, perfume, and body lotion free for anyone to use. Then, there are the public washrooms in a place like Walmart, where according to this caption you may or may not end up literally glued to a toilet seat. If there is one takeaway from this caption that we should all think about it is that you should always watch out for glue.
Before you plop down on a public toilet seat, make sure there is no super glue that will dry as you use the toilet. This is one situation nobody wants to be broadcasted, no matter how funny it is.
Beware Of Predator Chihuahuas According To The News
There are certain dog breeds that tend to make it on to the news, and usually for not great reasons like attacks. One breed that rarely makes the news though is the Chihuahua. These little guys are known for being the kind of pooches that fit in purses, not for being predators that people need to watch out for. This little ‘predator’ and his pink collar are clearly pretty menacing.
This little dog doesn’t look like he could harm a small child, let alone an adult. Maybe he has some hidden tricks up his doggy sleeve.
Beware Of This Serial Stabber And Their Choice Of Body Part
Now, this caption is just plain odd. Usually, a serial killer has a mode of operation, especially if they fit into the organized category. The person behind the attacks mentioned in this caption has a certain proclivity for the posteriors of their victims. If this caption is going to teach the world one thing, it is always to watch your back. You never know when someone might be coming after you.
It doesn’t sound like this serial stabber wasn’t fatally wounding anyone though, which is a positive thing. Perhaps they just got a little over-excited when watching people walk away.
Is It Breaking In If Your Name Is On The Building?
After a long day at work, everyone enjoys sitting back and relaxing. For Bud Weisser, all he wanted to do was enjoy a can of his favorite beverage, Budweiser beer. Instead of driving to the store to grab a six-pack, he decided to go straight to the source. We are pretty sure that Mr. Bud here is not a direct descendant of the Budweiser family, but his name is pretty close.
Just because your name is on the building, doesn’t mean you will be granted entrance though. Mr. Bud won’t be getting any cold beers where he is headed after being caught trespassing.
There Is Such A Thing As Too Much Of A Good Thing
A prison is a tough place to be. Inmates are kept busy by working jobs at the facility, going to classes, and anything else that might catch their fancy. For one prisoner, he found that there was one hobby that really helped him to pass the time. If you guessed drawing, then try again. No, this prisoner, according to the caption really enjoyed underwear, to the point where it became an addiction.
This caption raises a lot of questions. Did the prisoner like to eat underwear? How would you overdose on underwear? We really hope this was further explained during this breaking news segment.
Thanks To South Park The Disease Known As Gingervitis Was Born
Humans are lucky enough to have hair that comes in all sorts of shades of blonde, brunette, black, and red. Red hair or ‘ginger’ hair as it is more fondly referred to has been a constant source of jokes for many comedians and television shows. In 2005, “South Park” aired an episode in which the disease known as ‘Gingervitis’ was introduced. Obviously, this disease only applies to people with red hair.
As soon as that episode aired, which included a segment about gingers having no souls, a certain holiday was also born. Poor ginger Aaron got to experience firsthand what it means to be a ginger in a post-Gingervitis era.
An Unfortunately Mislabeled Newscaster
There are smaller towns and even some cities where you can tune into the news and see your favorite newscasters. You may know them by name, and sometimes they even reach the status of local celebrities. So imagine if someone waits until the six o’clock news comes on, sees a familiar face, but is told that they’re a completely different person. This might throw off some fans, especially when there are multiple newscasters who may look similar.
Though thankfully this doesn’t happen too often, it does occur every once in a while, and the news stations certainly do hear about it from all kinds of viewers. The real trouble comes when they do it more than once…
Welcome To The No Pants Party Where There Is Only One Rule
Is there anything worse than having to sit around in a tight pair of pants for 8+ hours a day? Anyone who has a desk job knows just how uncomfortable it can be to feel like you are having all of your organs slowly squeezed as you tap away at a keyboard. In recent years, the no-pants movement has really taken off, and this is a movement most people can get behind.
Pants are okay, but flowy clothes or no pants at all is the way of the future. This woman is definitely onboard with no pants parties.
The Tomorrow War In Real Life With Veteran Don Krasin
Amazon Prime’s “The Tomorrow War” with Chris Pratt is all about a war going on in the future, and according to this caption, veteran Don Krasin might just be who that character was based on. Last time we checked, there had only been two world wars, not eleven. Whoever was in charge of captioning that day clearly misunderstood the assignment. You can spell World War I like this or World War II like this.
You never use numbers, which anyone who has finished middle school history would know. Hopefully, this isn’t a caption that is telling us what the future holds!
Meet Beezow Doo-Doo Zoppitybop-Bop-Bop A Man With A Futuristic Name
Some countries are very particular about what parents can name their children. In fact, certain governments will even tell parents they have to change a name if it is too unusual. In other places, you can legally change your name to whatever you want it to be. Looking at Mr. Beezow’s full name, we have to wonder if he chose it himself or if his parents decided to give it to him.
Either way, Elon Musk, and Grimes must have seen this name and taken some inspiration from it for their own baby’s very unique name.
Rolling Up To The Club In An EMS Ambulance
When Friday night rolls around, it is time to get dressed up and hit the club which is exactly what this homeless man decided to do. The only problem was that he didn’t have a cool ride to get him from his current location to the club he wanted to spend the evening at. That’s when he noticed the EMS ambulance that looked like a chariot just waiting for him to nab.
Stealing anything is never a good idea, but stealing an ambulance definitely goes down in history as a very poor decision. Luckily, no one was injured during this segment of grand theft auto.
Diets Come In All Different Shapes And Sizes As Does The Food
Some of these news captions just leave us scratching our heads. Here we have a man who was forced to eat his own beard. There is no back story, just this guy, who still has a beard. The fact that he still has a beard is somewhat suspicious. Was he sporting a long Gandalf-esque beard before he started eating it? Also, it remains pretty unclear why he was forced to eat his beard.
Perhaps he was hiking and he ran out of food, and only his beard hair was available for a quick snack. It would be great to know exactly what happened here.
Every Good Search Party Needs An Appropriately Named Captain
Search parties are conducted when a person goes missing or there is a person of interest in a case that cannot be located. These are usually community-led initiatives, and everyone spreads out in a grid-like manner to search large areas of land that may be uninhabited. Now, this caption tells us that something very important went missing, and if you are Joey Tribbiani from “Friends” this is exactly the kind of search party you would have.
We all know the iconic scene where a car backfires, and Joey tries to save his sandwich, rather than his friend Ross. It seems that a sandwich has gone missing in this community, and this captain of the missing sandwich is going to find out.
In A Surprising Turn Of Events Two Dead Are Found Dead
Sometimes it seems like the world is full of bad news. This is one of the reasons that feel-good human interest stories exist. Everyone loves hearing about a kitten that got stuck in a tree and had to be rescued by some kind fireman. The captions for those stories also tend to make sense, unlike this one that is related to two people passing away, who because they passed away were found passed away.
The logic behind this caption just isn’t there. The person who wrote this should have simply said, “Two people were found dead.”
Reporters Always Need To Ask Hard Hitting Questions About Sandwiches
In this day and age, it is very important to be politically correct but sometimes that might be taken just a little bit too far. Peanut butter and jam sandwiches have been a lunchtime staple for many people in North America. All of that delicious peanut butter just melds together with the jam to make a sandwich that always hits the spot. However, someone clearly got confused about the political correctness of PB & J sandwiches.
These little sandwiches don’t see color and are a staple for all groups of people. The person who wrote this caption just wanted to be provocative, and they definitely succeeded.
Watch Yourself And Block Yourself From Stabbings With A Cheeseburger
Everyone has their favorite burger joint. Maybe it is fast food like McDonald’s, or maybe it is a small local greasy spoon that serves patties straight off of the grill. When you think about cheeseburgers, you don’t really think about it as armor from a stabbing attack. If we have read this caption right, then that is exactly what a cheeseburger is though. It can save a life if used correctly.
The next time you are in a precarious situation or a shady part of town, arm yourself with a trusty cheeseburger. It might just stop a knife from piercing your skin.
Squirrel Versus The Yogurt Cup: Who Will Win In The Ultimate Showdown?
Disney movies have always made out that woodland creatures are adorable little animals that should be respected and protected at all costs. Using this logic, it makes sense that a squirrel who got its head stuck in an old yogurt cup would be breaking news for this community. After all, the little guy clearly needed a helping hand to get him out of this sticky situation in this flower-filled meadow.
The caption itself is a play on a Brazilian viral video that made waves back in 2007. This squirrel video is a lot more kid-friendly though, which makes it ten times better.
Why Get A Job When You Can Be The Dude With Sweet Hair
Reality shows always display what kind of job the contestant has which is supposed to make audiences more interested in them. The same goes for the news when they interview people in the studio and on the street. Sometimes people don’t have jobs though, and the captioning team needs to get creative when it comes to explaining why this person is being interviewed, which is how Ben Parker got this sweet tagline.
Ben doesn’t appear to have a job, but he does have a pretty magnificent mane of hair. It makes sense that he is known as the “Dude with sweet hair.”
The Case Of The Changed Shirt, A Real Life Horror Story
Right off the bat, we know there is a back story with this caption. Joe here had to change his shirt, which was clearly an upsetting moment for him. There must have been something on his shirt that caught the attention of a lot of people, and we really want to know what it was. If we had to guess, it must have had some politically incorrect phrase printed on it, or perhaps it was too revealing.
One thing we know for sure is that Joe had to change his shirt, which is newsworthy. Nobody likes being forced to do anything, let alone change out of their favorite shirt.
The Angriest Man On The Block Speaks Out About Nothing
Neighborhoods are very different all over the world, and even in the same city. Socio-economic status plays a part in this, but so do political beliefs, religion, and a wide variety of other things that bring a community together or apart. For Joe, something in his community had him fuming, and the reporter nearby was on hand to capture that moment in what must have been a very explosive interview judging by the caption.
Everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame, and this caption has given Joe a lot more than that. He will go down in caption history as ‘one angry guy.’
There Is Nothing Worse Than Forgetting The Cheese Whiz
When it comes to big holiday weekends like Thanksgiving and Christmas, people always head to grocery stores to pick up whatever ingredients they will need for their feasts. J.C. over here had to go shopping but forgot one crucial ingredient as he grabbed some last-minute groceries. Somehow he forgot the spreadable cheese-like substance known as Cheez Whiz which made him newsworthy. Unlike the one angry man, J.C. doesn’t seem too bothered.
Maybe he opted to buy real cheese instead, like a nice brie or a soft goat’s cheese. Sometimes it is better to go with the real deal for the holidays.
Human Remains Are The Missing Ingredient For These Delicious Recipes
Life is all about timing. For example, sometimes you meet the right person at the wrong time, or you slot in the wrong caption at a very inopportune moment. When human remains are found, unless they are associated with cannibalism, it is probably best not to have a segway into where to find some new recipes. Last time we checked, human remains are not the missing ingredient needed to make a recipe work.
Whoever was in the production room that day should have caught this caption. It isn’t exactly tactful, considering this person must have been missing and their remains had just been found.
Some People Have Seen It All And Lived To Tell The Tale
Some people are wise beyond their years, while others simply assume because they have lived for a lot of years that they must be wise. For a few generations, they remember a time before CDs, the internet, and social media. Those were simpler times in which people sent telegrams or letters and these generations have seen a lot more than the newer ones. However, nobody has ever ‘seen it all.’
Unless Norman here has a time machine and has been visiting all of the centuries without telling the world, he definitely has not ‘seen it all.’
Lyrical Geniuses Make The Best Rappers And End Up With Allegations
In recent decades, there are a few public figures who have been featured in the media, and not for positive reasons. They say all publicity is good publicity, but that is definitely not the case. When actor and comedian Bill Cosby made it onto the news for some rather unsavory incidents, this news channel decided to do a story on it. However, a small spelling error made the story a lot more innocent.
Cosby might be a great rapper, who knows? We are inclined to believe this is just a misspelled word, but it definitely makes for a good caption.
Everybody Needs A Hobby And That Includes Being A Sock Enthusiast
As soon as Thanksgiving wraps up in November, it is time to start thinking about the holiday season in December. For some people, this means buying lots of presents in preparation. It can be hard to select the perfect gift, but for Jimmy, there is obviously only one thing he really wants. If you guessed socks, then you would be right! Jimmy here is what is known as a sock enthusiast.
A sock enthusiast is someone who loves socks, more so, that say pants. Maybe Jimmy has a sock collection and has hundreds of pairs just waiting to be worn.
Beware Of Dark Spaces And Children In Chuck E. Cheese’s
Every country has a restaurant chain geared towards children. These are places that have giant jungle gyms, movie theaters, and pizza parlors just waiting for a horde of children to descend on them for a good time. One thing that is typically not associated with one of these places is attacks, which is what makes this caption a bit off. Apparently, Barbie did not have a fun time at the play place.
We do have a few questions though. Was it someone dressed as Chuck E. Cheese who attacked, or was it a swarm of children all hopped up on sugar?
Stinky Situations Can Really Get People Down In The Dumps
Once in a blue moon, there are some pretty disgusting raw sewage accidents that happen. For one man, he recently got splattered with sewage that was released from an airplane while in transit. Both he and his garden got some free fertilizer, which was far from ideal. Phil seems to be a raw sewage victim as well, and it’s a bit of a smell claim to fame if we do say so.
At least Phil had time to get cleaned up before he had to go on camera, otherwise, it would have been some real on the scene reporting for whoever covered this.
A Self Proclaimed Cool Kid Must Be Pretty Darn Cool
Usually, nicknames are given to people, they don’t give them to themselves. Everyone wants to be cool, but it is not something you can really work at. You either are or you aren’t, but Robert here decided to just go for it, and say he is cool. It takes a lot of confidence to just proclaim yourself as a cool kid, especially when you are closer to being an adult than a child.
More power to this cool cat though, obviously he has the confidence to become cool in the future, even if it is just wishful thinking at the moment.
Just Another ‘Boring’ Toddler Memorial Caught On The Daily News
Sad things happen every day, but so do many wonderful things as well. The news captures all of these moments, and in a particularly sad one, it broadcast a toddler’s funeral and the eulogy one of the family members read. We don’t mean to poke fun at this sad moment, but somebody got the caption very wrong. Instead of focusing on the somber occasion, they captioned it as a boring one.
Hopefully, the parents did not see this screenshot, as it will not be a moment they want to remember.
It’s Important To Always Remember Your Left And Right Sides
News anchors always show up in promotional television spots and advertisements for their morning and evening shows. Usually, they are advertised with their names, as that name recognition is what helps to draw viewers in and increase ratings. Instead of captioning who each ancho was on the evening news, someone simply left the placeholder text in. It does make it a lot easier to tell left from right with these handy captions.
This would be a good learning moment for children. Figuring out left from right takes time, and if they can read, they can use these captions to practice.
Getting Arrested During A Haircut Has Some Unforeseen Consequences
People get into tussles over all sorts of things. Maybe the hairdresser looked at the client in the wrong way, or maybe they commented on something they shouldn’t have. What we have here is a failure to communicate something important. David here was getting a nice haircut when things went awry and he got into a scuffle with some unnamed person. The result is a haircut half-finished which makes for a very comedic mugshot.
Maybe when he got to prison, someone shaved down the other side. Nobody should have to go through life with only half a barber cut complete.
A Little Bit Of Creative Math Never Hurt Anybody Right?
The one thing that the news is always expected to do is to report the facts. That means being unbiased, and only reporting exactly what happened in specific situations. Math sometimes plays a part in this, as polling numbers are often shown during elections and for other major government actions. This poll asked an important question to the people of Scotland, “Should Scotland be independent?” Many people responded, but the math didn’t exactly make sense.
As far as we know, basic addition doesn’t work here. 52 plus 58 is 110, and it isn’t possible for 110 percent of Scotland to answer a question.
Hollywood Stars’ Photos Recreated With A Funny Twist
This article was originally published on 24/7Mirror
Have you ever looked at a picture posted by your favorite A-lister and thought, “how do they look good wearing something like that or posing like that?” A woman named Celeste Barber started recreating ridiculous famous people’s Instagram photos, and she has gained 6.9 million followers on Instagram in the process. She shows what the average person would look like if they were taking these photos in real life. Keep reading to see the hilarious results!
Instagram Vs. Gravity
Alexis Ren modeled this shirt with perky boobs drawn on it, but realistically, no one’s chest naturally looks like that.
While Celeste made her shirt the exaggerated version, that is more realistic than the original Instagram. Let’s be real; gravity starts to win as you get older.
Boats, Bikinis, Flexibility, and Humility
Gigi Gorgeous looks like she is floating on air in her photo, but it does not look easy to achieve that pose. Who would want to contort themselves onto some metal bars?
Celeste is how most of us would look if we tried this pose. It seems like she is on the struggle bus, and we can only imagine how uncomfortable that is.
Did Someone Say Flamingo?
When you wish you were on a private yacht with a giant flamingo floaty like Kendall Jenner, but you are stuck at home.
She traded the boat deck for her driveway and added some water wings because cement can be dangerous.
The Basis Of Any Good Relationship: Trust
Would you trust someone not to let go of your t-shirt while you lean face first over a pool? The models in the top picture messed up a few times because she is not dry.
Even if you trust the person, that is not an easy task for someone to hold you only by your shirt.
Boys Lie, Carbs Don’t
The truth hurts, doesn’t it? Carbs don’t lie, and they will stick by your side even when you don’t want them.
Both pictures are sharing truth bombs, and both pictures show that they both need to wash their cars.
Taking Advantage Of Morning Sunshine
When you try to recreate those perfect rainbow reflection pictures, but you are blinded by the morning sunlight. The rainbow also looks suspiciously perfect in the left image.
Trying to look directly into the sun right when you wake up is not something the average person could handle.
Breakfast Is Served
When you want to do something special for you your man so you bring him orange juice and pancake (mix) in bed.
Serving people topless is not very sanitary, and people should refrain from this, especially if you want to carry something hot.
“Just Rolled Out Of Bed”
When you are trying to reach something on the floor without getting out of bed. You try to do acrobat moves just to keep some part of your body on the bed.
The hardest part is when you finally reach what you want, and then you have to figure out how to get back on the bed.
When You Successfully Cook Dinner
When you managed to cook dinner for everyone without getting any complaints or burning something, that calls for a celebration.
Her kids look unimpressed with her celebrations like, “Mom, please get off the table!”
Just A Light Scarf
No, this is not a giant scarf photoshopped onto Lenny Kravitz, he actually wore that. It is equally ridiculous to wear an actual blanket in public.
That must have been more annoying to wear around than a normal-sized scarf. Celeste captured the ridiculousness of this picture perfectly.
“I Really Need To Wash The Dishes”
When you want to show your kids how dirty they left the dishes, even though you asked them multiple times to clean up after themselves.
Even though she doesn’t have a makeup team, lighting crew, and person doing her wardrobe, Celeste looks just as good as the original photo.
Style and Safety
We always wear heels when we ride our bikes too. Her son is probably asking his mom for his bike back.
Both of them look amazing, but Celeste is demonstrating better safety practices.
Having Children Expectation Vs. Reality
Have children, they said, it will be fun, they said. J.Lo makes motherhood look like a breeze and manages to hold a drink and carry her child at the same time.
Motherhood is far from easy. She shows that holding a child and a drink is not an easy thing to do.
When You Have To Wash Your Own Car
Why Bethenny Frankel felt the neep to do a backbend on top of the car is a mystery. How did she get herself into that position without falling, and how did she get down?
We love the dedication that went into recreating this picture because you know her neighbors saw her and thought, “what is wrong with that woman.”
Sia: The Craft Store Version
When you want to dress up like Sia, but you are on a dollar store budget. It looks like she ran through the craft store and grabbed the first items she saw.
Even though it is more craft store than couture, we think Sia would approve of this recreation because she loves odd things.
Backyard Photo Shoot
Even though she looks like she is putting in minimal effort, Beyonce still looks glamorous, standing in front of a sheet in someone’s backyard.
Anyone who isn’t Beyonce would look weird if they tried to recreate this, like Celeste.
“Buy My Merch”
When you are trying to recreate a Kylie Jenner picture and promote your own merchandise at the same time.
Whose shirt would you rather buy? We really like Celeste’s take on Kylie Jenner’s shirt.
When It Is Too Hot Outside, So You Sit In The Freezer
During the summer, have you ever been so hot you felt like sitting in a freezer? Don’t worry; it’s not that weird because celebrities have had the same thought too.
Sometimes you just want to escape the heat and climb into a freezing box, and that is ok. Just remember to take a picture so you can post it to Instagram.
Personal Hygiene is Important
Celebrities are just like ordinary people; they have to shave their armpits too. Although, when they shave their armpits, they document it for social media.
Self-grooming is important. Some people choose to shave, and others go natural. Whatever you decide, no one has to know about it.
Ready To Conquer The Day
Kyle Richards starts her days with a protein shake and a brightly colored Birkin bag. Not all of us are that blessed, so some of us are more like Celeste’s recreation.
When you have children, starting the day with a bottle of wine doesn’t sound like a bad idea. Although we know she is not promoting people to drink and drive.
Wet T-Shirt Contest
Again Emily Ratajkowski is stunning and sultry with her barely-there wet t-shirt. If you have ever been in a wet white shirt, you might feel like Emily, or you might feel like Celeste.
First of all, Wet shirts are not comfortable; you feel like you are being weighed down by this cold, wet fabric stuck to you. Second, no one looks like Emily, so it would be hard to pull off this wet shirt look.
When It’s Too Hot For Clothing
Emily Ratajkowski is known for her lack of clothing, so recreating her pictures takes a lot of courage. No one actually walks their dog in a bra and underwear.
The guy in the background is wondering what she is doing, walking through the streets half-naked with her dog.
Happy Holidays
Kylie Jenner is giving us the holiday fantasy by wearing a giant bow as a hair accessory for her holiday collection promo shoot. Only she could make this look cool and high fashion.
If the average person tried that it would look very strange. We don’t know how anyone would look good with a giant gift bow on their head.
Holding Life’s Most Precious Gifts
While some people value their children as the most precious gifts in the world, others value wine and bread, which is valid.
It must be hard to recreate the ethereal glow of Beyonce post-birth.
Spilled Wine Means The World Is Ending
Why does Selena Gomez look so unphased by the spilled wine and broken glass? Most people would be sad like Celeste because of the wasted wine.
We know it’s for an album cover, but how can she be so calm with broken glass in her hands?
Cooling Off
When you are in the club and you find a fan to help you cool off. Some people would look glam like Miley Cyrus, and the rest of us would look like we got stuck in a wind tunnel like Celeste.
Maybe a leaf blower wouldn’t be the best option because of how much wind power it has, but it still cools you off.
Self Love
As Ru Paul likes to say, “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love someone else?”
Self-love is important, but we don’t know if you have to make out with yourself in a mirror to get that point across.
Working That Spacesuit On The Beach
Brazilian model, Adriana Lima, can make anything work, even this silver lamé one piece.
Who knew that silver catsuit would be so useful to recreate so many celebrity photos.
Giddy Up
She nailed this Miley Cyrus recreation. Her tiny horse is even better than Miley’s larger one.
She makes it look much more fun than the celebrity originals. Ride’em cowgirl!
This Looks Comfortable
“Nothing to see here, just casually lounging on the chair like a normal person.” This is such a bizarre pose. How did the model contort her body into this uncomfortable position and stay glamorous?
If we tried this, we would look more like Celeste and fall off the chair. Do not try this at home, people.
Peek-A-Boo
When you are trying to get dressed, and your friends keep asking you how much longer it will be until you are ready.
“Can you hurry up?” “I’m getting dressed as fast as I can, but it would go much quicker if you didn’t continue to ask every few minutes.”
I Woke Up Like This
The first picture is what everyone wishes to look like when they wake up. The second is what most people look like when they wake up.
How is it possible to wake up looking perfect with your makeup and hair done? It is not possible, most of these “natural” “just woke up” selfies are posed.
Baywatch
The Rock and Alexandra Daddario co-starred in the reboot movie Baywatch and made lifeguarding look much more glamourous.
Celeste and her husband try to capture that glamour while still being effortlessly beachy, and they rocked it!
How You Think You Look Vs. How You Actually Look
When you walk towards the water and try to walk like Gisele Bundchen, but the uneven sand makes it difficult to look like a model.
We all try our best to look effortless, but walking on the burning hot sand is harder than it seems.
No Pants, No Problem
When Kanye’s merch is too expensive, so you can only afford one sweatshirt, or you have to make your own.
The oversized sweatshirt is an interesting trend that people were obsessed with for a while because of the Kardashians. To pull off this trend, your sweatshirt should probably cover your underwear.
Dipped In Silver
Why wouldn’t an ordinary person cover their body in silver and lie in a tub? Kim was probably posing for a makeup campaign or magazine shot, but it is a strange scene.
It is hilarious that she used a kiddy pool to replicate this one. She looks like a natural model, even comparing herself to Kim Kardashian.
Working Out Is Tiring
When you take a gym selfie hoping you will look toned and not like a sweaty mess. Working out is not easy, and after a difficult gym session, most people would look like the right photo.
By the end of the workout, people are drenched in sweat, and too tired to actually pose.
Drop It Low
Can we take a minute to talk about cardi b’s shoes? Are they sneakers, wedges, or platforms? It looks like the shoes are falling apart in slow-motion.
Celeste had to stack three pairs of shoes to try and replicate this look. How do you walk in shoes like those? Fashion is so interesting, and those weird sneakers probably cost over $1,000.
Just Catching Some Rays
When you have had a rough day, so you come home and collapse onto the floor. The bottom picture looks like she has had enough of these odd celebrity photos.
Bella Hadid makes this pose look relaxed and comfortable. This position seems like it would break your knees and back.
A Couple Of Cows
When you do something that makes you seem adventurous, so you have to document it to prove you did something in nature.
Celeste also looks like she went to a winery and had a few too many glasses.
Nailed It!
If you ever wanted sunglasses that will block the haters, these are the perfect pair. The foil pair and the real pair will surely make the haters invisible.
Nicki Minaj has an interesting sense of style, and this look is bizarre, even for her.
“What Do You Wear Around The House?”
Who wouldn’t want to be Haily Bieber? She is married to every teenage girl’s dream man, Justin Bieber. Hailey is also so stunning, even in these full coverage underwear.
The recreation is just as amazing and looks more like a body positivity advertisement.
Looking For The Remote
When you can’t find the remote so you have to dig through the cracks in all the couch cushions.
“Look! I finally found that bracelet I lost three years ago, and the TV remote!”
Falling Down The Stairs But Make It Fashion
Nicki Minaj has some strange fashions choices and poses. She looks like a spider monkey hanging on for dear life, so she doesn’t fall down the stairs.
How did she manage to keep a straight face while recreating this ridiculous pose? Even she looks like she knows how strange this is.
When You Think You Look Cute After Going In The Ocean
It is never glamorous when you go into the ocean and get pummeled by waves. There is salt in your nose, sand in places you didn’t know sand could go, and your hair is matted to your face.
In our heads, we think we look like a character straight out of Baywatch, but it is never that glamorous.
Making Pregnancy Look Cute
Celebrities tend to make pregnancy look easy. They put on their matching Calvin Klein underwear and bra and depict it as a glamorous nine months.
In reality, most people don’t have the energy to find the matching underwear to their bra, especially if they are pregnant.
“Can You Take A Picture Of Me In The Men’s Bathroom?”
When you think of a good place to take a photo, is your first thought the men’s bathroom? We are going to guess that you said no because who would go into the men’s bathroom to take a picture besides Kim Kardashian.
Also, did the photographer think it was a good setting to capture her gorgeous gown? It ruins the beauty of her entire look.
When It’s Really Cold Outside
Did Kylie steal Cookie Monster’s fur to get this photo? She is someone who likes to show off her famous curves, so it is strange that she chose to cover her entire body and only show her face.
We love how she took a giant blanket to wrap around herself for this one. If only it were blue, it would be amazing.
Money Talks
When you have so much money that you start to think all those presidents are speaking to you. Also, have you ever noticed that some celebrities feel the need to flaunt their wealth by posing with stacks of money? We know you are rich, there is no need to rub in in our faces.
On the other hand, does anyone else keep a jar of change that they don’t know what to do with? Like Celeste, the jar of coins is more realistic that stacks of $100.
Trying To Do Yoga For The First Time
“Hurry up and take the photo, all the blood is rushing to my head!” The top photo is trying to sell the lingerie, but we don’t understand why they made her do a pose like that.
She looks like she is doing a mix of downward dog and something else that is uncomfortable.
“What Are You Doing In My Closet?”
“Ma’am, please put your clothes back on. This is a public place, and you are making the other customers feel uncomfortable.”
Chrissy Teigen has shared that she loves to be nude, but why does someone else have to be there to stare at her?
Fresh Out Of The Shower
When you get out of the shower and wrap yourself in a warm towel, it is a refreshing feeling. While not everyone looks as glamorous as Alessandra Ambrosio, we can all pretend.
Celeste is feeling her post-shower look, and we don’t blame her. It is like playing dress-up with a towel as your wig.
What Else Would You Wear To Do Laundry?
It’s hard to believe that Paris Hilton might actually do her own laundry, but if she did, she would wear that silver suit.
Doing laundry is tedious, and when it starts to pile up, it is not fun to do. It is even worse when you have to do laundry for your children or husband, and not just yourself.
When You Spend All Your Money On One Article Of Clothing
When you had to have that designer skirt, but it was so far out of your budget. Instead of saving up for it, you bought it and decided to sacrifice buying groceries for a few weeks.
Then once you have it, you realize you have nothing that pairs with it, and it is too fancy for any event you have coming up.
Going On An Adventure
Take your family on vacation, they said. It will be fun, they said. When you take your children on vacation and have to bring so many extra things with you to accommodate young kids.
Karlie Kloss has all that luggage just for herself. How many outfit changes does she have planned with all that luggage?
When You Need To Be On The Phone All The Time
“Hey, what are you up to?” “Oh, nothing just sitting in the bathroom.” “You’re calling me from the bathroom?” “Obviously, why else would I have a phone in here.”
Have you ever noticed that hotels have phones in the bathroom? Who is that for, and why are they calling while sitting on the toilet?
“Where Did This Chair Come From?”
When you buy a new swimsuit and want to take pictures in it right away even though you are not at the beach or pool. Kylie found a solution to that problem; bring a chair and have a photoshoot in the backyard.
Why is the folding chair necessary? What did it add to this photoshoot?
Sexy Selfie Expectation Vs. Outcome
When you buy a new bra and underwear and want to take a sexy picture in it with the expectation of looking like Emily Ratajkowski, but then you see the selfie and realize no one looks like her.
Even if you aren’t a model, all bodies are beautiful in their own way and you should be proud of yours.
“I Do Not Bend Like That”
When your yoga instructor and photoshop guy are on vacation so you can’t make yourself look like Miranda Kerr.
How did she manage to bend like that in the left photo? It looks like her torse is not connected to her legs.
“Have You Seen My House Plant?”
When you get a new house plant and want to subtly show it off to all your friends on the internet.
To get the perfect shot, you wear an outfit that matches the plant and casually holds one of the branches.
50 Hilariously Creative Maps That Show You The U.S. In A New Way
This article was originally published on Kueez
Sometimes the best way to learn about a country is to just look at a map. We don’t mean looking at it to learn about where the nearest supermarket or movie theater is, rather looking at it to understand the people – what they’re like and how they think and behave. Oftentimes, what we glean from our glimpses can be shocking, insightful, or just downright hilarious. Even people who have spent their entire lives in the United States will be shocked to learn what a few hilarious maps can teach them. So lean back and get ready to laugh as these maps show you a side of the US that you’ve never seen before!
1. If Every State Had Their Own Halloween Costume
If you were ever wondering what each state would dress up as for a sexy Halloween costume contest, we have that answer with this hilarious map.
Some of these make sense and some are just awful. We all know the Washington State rains a lot, so why not be a sexy umbrella for Halloween? But Ohio’s sexy unemployed person? That’s harsh.
2. Is Pop Music Really That Popular?
Until looking at this map, we thought that pop music was being played constantly in almost every state, but now we’re not sure.
According to this photo, people are much more into country music and rock/oldies. The only state that seems to be playing pop music, is California. This map can’t be right, but the graphics are awesome!
3. A Dad Joke
You don’t have to be a genius to know what’s going on here. The person who made this map was obviously a dad since this photo is a perfect example of a terrible dad joke.
This dad thought it was hilarious to write the initials of Washington State and Florida on a U.S. map and make all the states look like waffles.
4. Indiana Is Pretty Dangerous
Whoever created this map is clearly under the illusion that Indiana is the most dangerous state out of all 50 states in the U.S.
According to the map, states that are close to Indiana are still pretty unsafe, and the ones further back are colored gray, having “an illusion of safety” (because Indiana is still close by).
5. No One Is Reading This Map
At first glance, this map is very confusing – but don’t worry we’ll explain. The person who designed this was trying to be funny.
If you actually read what the words say from left to right, it’s saying that the data will be the same for a U.S. map of “most used words.” We will point out though, that somebody doesn’t like Florida very much.
6. Who Has The Most Karens
And now for the most important map of all—which state has the most populated with Karens? A “Karen” is a woman who feels entitled and thinks everyone needs to agree with her opinions or else she’ll complain.
Most of us are familiar with this term and might know a few Karens personally. How many do you know in your state?
7. If You Want To Understand American Girls
If you want to know what kind of American girl you are, check out this fun map. It shows what type of girl you are based on your state.
Apparently, all the girls on the East Coast are hip and stylish, while the ones from Hawaii stand near palm trees all day. Sounds about right to us.
8. Every Stereotype Possible
Warning, stereotypes alert! We’ve seen several versions of these maps throughout this list, so there’s definitely some overlap. Between “Hollywood, baby!” (California), “Wizard of Oz” (Kansas), and “potatoes” (Idaho), the map is as eye-rolling as you can get.
The person who drew this map was so lazy, he just put the word stereotypes for the whole South. Ridiculous!
9. When You Ask Your Teenager to Make A Map Of The US
We all know that our teenagers are immature, and this map only confirms that statement. When one mom asked her teenage son to design a map of the U.S., this photo was probably not what she had in mind.
Her son gave her a normal map, but with a few adjustments, adding some nonexistent bathroom-related destinations.
10. State Slogans
Now here’s a fun map. If every state had its own slogan, this is what it would be. Before you start getting defensive, these slogans are meant to be a joke and what’s written on here are mostly stereotypes.
The only one that’s really true is New York’s – every New Yorker pretty much thinks that New York is the only important state in America.
11. Yikes, What Is Everyone Googling?
If you were ever wondering what people are searching for on the internet in each state, we got you covered.
From the looks of this map, people seem to search for a whole range of things, from knock-knock jokes to conjugal visits. And maybe it’s just us, but we’re starting to worry about the people of Texas.
12. That’s A Bit Too Literal
Do you know that one friend of yours that always makes really lame jokes? This is a classic example of a joke she would make.
The title of this map is “The Top 12 States To Live In,” except by “top” it’s not referring to something that’s the best. It literally means the 12 states that are located on the map. Terrible.
13. The Real Weather Map
This map is one of our absolute favorites – it’s funny and the illustration is amazing! The weather in America varies from season to season, but this map pretty much nailed it.
Between the snow, tornados, wildfires, hot air, hurricanes, and earthquakes, the United States really has a little bit of everything.
14. 50 Shades Of Blue
This map is by far one of the most random maps on this list. What we’re seeing here is the United States of America in different shades of blue – only there isn’t a reason as to why some states are darker or lighter than others.
Maybe the person who made this was bored, and blue is his favorite color.
15. The Most Important Map
Listen up, everyone! We know you all want to option of going topless so you probably take a look at this map as a reference.
For women living in Utah, Indiana, or Tennessee, we’re really sorry but you’re not allowed, but for everyone else, there’s a good chance that you can.
16. Most Common Language Map
What’s the most common language spoken in America? You guessed it – English. The creator of this map wanted to do something funny and made a map pointing out the languages spoken in the U.S.
Obviously, there’s only one, so he wrote English across the whole map. The “key” section on the bottom left corner was a nice touch.
17. Kim Jong Un’s Plans For America
Titled “Kim Jong Un’s Plan for America, ” this map is honestly quite serious. This photo came straight from a North Korean war room and was leaked a few years ago.
It shows which cities Kim Jong Un planned to target with his nuclear weapons. Thankfully this plan has never been finalized, but who knows what will happen in the future!
18. Reasons To Close School
So what does it really take for schools to shut down in your state? It all depends on where you live in the U.S. That’s because different parts of the U.S. have different climates.
While some areas get very cold and snowy like parts of the Northeast, the West Coast is way more likely to have wildfires.
19. The Map of Shame
Isn’t this one fun? If you ever wanted to know what your state is worst at, check out this map.
Let’s hope there’s no actual evidence to support the things written on here because most of them are absolutely awful. We’d especially feel pretty bad if you live in Louisiana or Michigan after reading this.
20. Town Names That Sound Dirty
Before you start wondering if these names are actual towns, we’re here to tell you that they are.
We know it’s hard to believe, and while we have no idea why anyone would call their town Rough and Ready or Wankers Corner, somebody did, and they probably thought they were being hilarious. We’ll admit, these names are funny and original.
21. Who’s Is Bigger Competition?
Let’s imagine for a minute that the 50 states had a competition to see what thing is the biggest in their state. According to this map, there seems to be a huge range between normal to really crazy.
It’s cool that Tennessee has the biggest watermelons, but why are people in Texas gathering to dress up as turkeys?
22. Where People Are Almost Finding Love
If you’re looking to find love, get off of Tinder because this map is way more helpful. According to this photo, you can see the spots in each state that have the most “missed connections.”
This means that people saw each other but missed out on meeting them. So the next time you want to meet the love of your life, we suggest consulting this map first.
23. Who Here Has A Toe Fetish
This map brings up a serious point that we definitely never thought about before – what’s the deal with some states having toes in their flags?
According to this map, seven states have toes in their state flags, while a whole bunch of others have animal toes or shoes. After looking at this photo we’re starting to wonder – does America have a foot fetish?
24. Steamed Ham Anyone?
Many of you have watched the episode on The Simpsons, but did you know that this map is actually true.
While pretty much everyone calls bread with a meat patty hamburgers, there’s one place in New York that called it something else. Believe it or not, In Albany, hamburgers are called “steamed hams.” Weird.
25. America, According To Australians
Turns out that Americans and Australians might have a bit more in common than either one realized. Seems like geography isn’t either one’s strongest skill.
This hilarious map shows how Australians think about the United States. How much do you think they got right about it?
26. Map Of Quarantine Activity
How many of us had a lot of time on our hands in quarantine last year? This map lets us know what people were doing during that time in every state.
Obviously, this isn’t accurate, but the activities are pretty relatable. According to the map, Netflix and TV was the most popular activity and we definitely agree.
27. Some States Eat Weird Food
As it turns out, Americans eat some pretty weird-sounding food and the food varies from state to state. How many of us can say that we’ve eaten gooseneck barnacles or a green chile sunday?
Not many, unless you’re from Oregon or New Mexico. Let’s just hope those slugburgers in Tennessee don’t have actual slugs in them.
28. Monsters That Will Scare You
If you were ever curious about the possible monsters that could show up in your state, this map will let you know all the details. Artist Mark Adams took his ideas from different legends that were told over the years.
For example, if you take a look at Louisiana, legend has it that the Honey Island Swamp Monster (a seven-foot, ape-like creature) was seen in St. Tammany Parish.
29. The Kevin Map
Have you ever been curious who the famous Kevin is from every state? Who doesn’t want to know which Kevin made it big in their hometown?
Some of them are very well-known like Kevin Bacon or Kevin Garnett, and the funniest one is the guy who played the character Kevin on the TV show, The Office.
30. If America Had No Land
This one is pretty explanatory, to say the least. But if you’re still not sure why the map is solid blue, take another look at the title.
The name of this map is “If America Had No Land, ” and that’s exactly what you’re looking at. If there was no land, there would just be a large body of water.
31. The Rest Of America To New Yorkers
New Yorkers are notorious for thinking that their state is the only one that matters. Not only that, but some New Yorkers don’t even care to know about the other 49 states in their country, because they are so inferior to them.
That’s why this map was created – for a funny take on how New Yorkers see the rest of America.
32. D List Celebs We Shouldn’t Care About From Every State
While it’s not something we ever thought about after looking at this map, we can’t help but wonder why Americans are looking up D-list celebrities.
Tila Tequila hasn’t been big since the 2000s, and how many people care about Chris Daughtry anymore? He was on American Idol 15 years ago! We’re in 2021, not 2001.
33. How Alaska sees the US
When we all learned geography in school, Alaska seemed very small. The rest of the states needed to be magnified, and there was never enough room for Alaska to fit to scale.
The truth is, Alaska is huge and not some tiny dot on our elementary school wall maps. This map shows how Alaskans see the U.S., and it’s pretty hilarious.
34. Is Dang A Popular Word?
Weren’t you just dying to know which Americans use the word “dang?” This elaborate color-coded map spells it out for us quite easily – the word is most popular in the South.
And while the rest of the map is mostly blue, there seems to be a “dang” hotspot in parts of Montana and Wyoming.
35. Where’s the Good Pizza?
This map is just as accurate as it is funny. Everyone knows that the best U.S. pizza is in New York and that it’s kind of the only place with good pizza. This map is basically saying that with two exceptions.
New Jersey pizza is almost as good (probably because they’re so close to the pizza king state), and Chicago sells deep-dish pizza, which isn’t really pizza but we will agree that it tastes good.
36. U.S. Map, The British Version
Here’s a fun map of how Brits see Americans. After looking at this photo, a lot of these things are random facts about each state but they definitely don’t represent the state as a whole.
Still, it’s not wrong that cheese is big in Wisconsin and Obama is from Illinois. But White Walkers in Alaska? At least it made us laugh.
37. Surviving The Zombie Apocalypse
As you know, there’s always a possibility that zombies may attack the U.S. It’s been a topic of discussion for decades, and someone finally created a map with his zombie apocalypse survival predictions.
According to this photo, It appears that the Midwest is most likely to survive an apocalypse, but we can’t say the same for Texas.
38. Who Doesn’t like the Beatles?
If you were wondering what this map is about, it’s showing which two things are more popular, and the data seems to show that The Beatles are more popular than Jesus.
f you couldn’t tell by now, the blue states on the map are a bit more conservative, but hopefully, they will be convinced. The Beatles are awesome!
39. All Roads Lead To Rome
How many of you know the saying, “All roads lead to Rome?” Well, the guy who made this map certainly seemed to agree with that statement quite literally!
He made the starting point “The Roads,” a neighborhood in Miami, Florida, which then split into five different Rome destinations in Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, and Georgia. Genius.
40. Which States Do You Know?
This map took a poll of the most and least remembered states, and if you haven’t noticed by now, most people outside the U.S. don’t seem to know about the states in the Midwest (sorry midwesterners!).
That’s probably because places with big cities like New York, California, and Florida are more popular, and people don’t usually travel to Iowa on their first U.S. trip.
41. Dangerous Animals To Be Afraid Of
On a scale of one to ten, how scared are you after seeing this map? It shows which land predator is in what state and how many there are.
According to the data, black bears are found in more than half the states, but we’d be more worried in Colorado than in Kansas. And did you know that there were mountain lions in the U.S.? Crazy.
42. Scary Stuff In Every State
Well, if you thought the last map was scary, get ready for this one. This map shows the really scary stuff that you’ll find in every state, and it will make you want to run for the hills.
There’s nothing scarier than the hipsters in Oregon or the lobster people in Maine. Yikes!
43. How To Spell ‘Color’
How do Americans spell “color?” That’s what this map is essentially all about. Similar to the Most Common Language map we saw earlier, the guy who made this map followed the same idea.
The Brits spell it with a “u” (colour), but we all know that’s not the correct American English spelling.
44. Why Did You Call It That?
Getting back to town names, here are some of the strangest ones in every state. We’re not sure who came up with these, but they sure are weird and hilarious.
We’re guessing that whoever came up with Bored must have been bored in Oregon, but we don’t even know where to start with Toad Suck, Arkansas.
45. If Each State Was A TV Show
In case you wanted to know which TV show best describes which state, this the perfect map for you. Titled “If Each State Was a TV Show” you’ll be able to find your hometown state and see if the TV show is accurate.
And we must say, some of them are pretty good. No one will argue that New York would be Seinfeld and Louisiana would be True Blood.
46. The ‘I Don’t Know Why We Made This Map’ Map
What is the point of this map? We’re guessing that someone got bored and made an “I Don’t Know Why We Made This Map” Map.
There’s nothing more to understand besides that someone made a map of the United States consisting of 700 red dots. Maybe the point of this was for people to ask why it was made. Who knows.
47. Every State’s Secrets Revealed
Here’s some juicy gossip. Each state’s biggest secrets are revealed on this map, and some of this stuff is super embarrassing.
Apparently, Idaho actually prefers onion rings to french fries, Wisconsin is lactose intolerant, and California fakes earthquakes for attention. This is shocking, but we knew someday the truth would come out!
48. The Most Popular Word Is…
How many of you are surprised that the word “the” is the most common word used in every state?
The guy making this map figured he should think a bit out of the box and be so silly even the most cranky person would crack a smile. Well, it worked for us.
49. Every State In Relation To Virginia
Is this map the most helpful? Maybe not, but it’s pretty funny. If you wanted to see a map where every state is named related to Virginia take a look.
Why should it be that only one state has a name referring to where it is in relation to Virginia? “North North North North East Virginia” or “South West South Virginia” sound like lovely state names, don’t you think?
50. Never-Ending Names For Your “Member”
If there was a competition for the dirtiest map on the list, this one would take the cake.
The map tells us what men call their “member,” in every state, and the joke is that the names have to do with each state, like “little rock” for Arkansas or “cheese log” for Wisconsin. Clever!
The Background In These Photos Is Much Funnier Than The Front
This article was originally published on Kueez
Whenever we take a picture, we usually focus much more on the main subject and ignore its surrounding. But sometimes, the background of the photo can be just as interesting, if not more. From ingenious accidental photobombs to downright hilarious well-thought-out sabotages, these photos are too good to ignore, and will make you pay better attention to your surrounding the next time you snap a picture. For some of the best photos ever taken, read on!
This Beluga Whale Didn’t Want To Miss The Party
First of all, props to this couple for choosing one of the most creative settings to officiate their wedding. They seem to be getting married in some sort of aquarium, and it looks absolutely magical, which probably says a lot about their characters.
Here we see that one big guy wasn’t willing to miss on the action, so it made its way right next to the happy couple. The beluga whale seems to have come out of nowhere, but it sure looks like it approves whatever is happening there.
Prince Harry Is The Best Photobomber
What are the chances that when someone takes a picture of you and your pal, Prince Harry will stop doing whatever he is doing in order to photobomb your picture? This lucky guy was definitely ecstatic when he realized that that’s exactly what happened to him.
As told by his friend, this guy was working at The Invictus Games when Prince Harry suddenly appeared on set and made his way to the background for the picture. The friend then posted the memorable moment in honor of the Royal Wedding between the Prince and Meghan Markle.
The Timing Couldn’t Have Been Better
This happy couple asked someone to take a photo of them at the Christ the Redeemer statue during their trip to Rio de Janeiro. At first, the photo didn’t seem to have anything different about it, since most tourists who travel to Rio de Janeiro take a similar photo up there.
But these guys were really lucky because the same second the person snapped the photo, a guy who literally looks like Jesus appeared in the background, in the most perfect angle. It actually looks like the hands are coming out of this body with this angle.
The Funniest Lifeguard Ever
Lifeguards have one of the most important jobs out there, and a really fun profession in general. Just imagine spending the whole day at the beach near the sand and the water. It sounds pretty perfect to us! They also get to meet lots of new people, and as it looks like in this picture, they also get to photobomb a picture or two.
Just imagine the number of people they see making similar poses throughout the day. This guy has clearly gotten the hang of it because he copied this beachgoer’s pose to perfection.
What A Lovely Photobomb
This person was ecstatic to have their mom visiting them in Anchorage for a few days. So as one does, they took the mom around the city so she could explore some of the most beautiful and well-known places Anchorage has to offer.
When they got close to this railway, the mom wanted to pose right in front of the beautiful scenery in the background. But at the exact same moment the photo was taken, a train passed by and the hilarious driver decided to be part of the picture too. It ended up being a perfectly timed photobomb.
Getting In On The Bachelorette Party
Bachelorette parties are probably one of the most fun and memorable moments brides-to-be get to spend with their closest friends, siblings, and whoever they want to include. From the looks of this picture, this future bride was having the best time with her girl squad, and they sure knew how to show it!
But it looks like a random person passing by didn’t want to miss on the fun, so they made sure to strike a pose at the right moment. We wonder how those girls felt when they saw the picture!
This Horse Definitely Knows A Thing Or Two About Photobombing
If you’re familiar with horses, then you probably know that they are arguably some of the sweetest and most majestic animals out there. This person clearly knows it, and had to take a picture of their adorable horse in what appears to be a freezing cold winter day.
But little did this person know that this baby horse, or foal, was ready to photobomb the picture, with the funniest expression we’ve ever seen. Who knew horses can pull off duck faces? The animal kingdom is a fascinating place.
Jason Momoa Crashes This Couple’s Wedding
What are the chances that Jason Momoa will crash a person’s wedding? Apparently, the Aquaman star was just taking a walk by the beach when he realized that a couple was getting married. The actor couldn’t help but stop and approach the two of them to congratulate them.
He then proceeded to make his way to several photos during the couple’s photoshoot, making their already memorable Hawaii wedding into one of the most incredible days of their lives. He even made the effort to make some Aquaman poses, making the experience even better.
The Most Adorable Photobomb Ever
Here’s the thing, there are photobombs that are hilarious and there are photobombs that are simply the cutest thing we have ever seen. This parent was taking a cute photo of their baby learning to crawl when their cat decided to make its way to the background of the photo.
That resulted in a combination of an adorable baby posing for the photo with a little tail in the background. The fact that we cannot see the cat’s face or body makes the whole thing even more believable, as it seems like they have both blended into one.
This Dolphin That Wanted To Be A Part of The Photo
Pregnancy photoshoots are fun and memorable moments that are cherished forever. This mom-to-be had finally decided to get hers, going for a beautiful and peaceful scenery at the beach. What she didn’t know though was that the photoshoot was taking place in the middle of dolphin season, and several dolphins were actually swimming in the area.
To her luck, one of them decided to be a part of the photo, and just randomly jumped exactly at the same moment the photographer snapped the photo. How lucky!
Best Friends Forever
Almost every friendship out there has a calm friend and a goofy one, and these two adorable pups definitely prove that to be true. When their doggy parent began taking their photos, they both looked at the camera and posed showing how much of a good boy each of them was.
But then, one of the dogs’ goofy side started to come out, and they could no longer hold a straight face in the background. The result was this cute photo collage of both of them that shows each of their personalities clearly.
Oh, Hey There!
First thing’s first, we need to give this picture the props it deserves. The entire scenery is absolutely perfect, with the desert’s sand looking immense and majestic, at what looks like the golden hour. This person managed to snap a picture of two camels, with one of them really up close and personal, and the other one just randomly popping in the back.
The photobomb is so believable that even the camel’s expression makes perfect sense. Thankfully, this person’s instinct was quick enough to take a perfect photo at the right time.
A Whole Other Level Of Photobombing
It’s safe to say that many of us would agree that this kid’s photobombing skills are simply beyond belief. This mother and daughter were just innocently posing for a picture when someone decided to make their way into the background.
The kid ran all the way to the water and took the highest jump and dive he could manage. He totally succeeded in creating an unforgettable background for the photo, which we’re sure the family will cherish forever.
When Your Younger Selves Photobomb Your Photo
Okay, we’re not sure about you, but this picture looks like something completely out of this world to us. This person shared a photo of their mom and her friends on social media, while they were attending a sports game together. When they stopped to take a selfie, a group of three girls decided to join the fun and to pose in the background.
What was really creepy though is that it looked like the three girls were nothing more than the same three women, only years younger. If you believe in time travel, then this would probably be one of those perfect time traveling moments.
This Kid With Impressive Skills
This young couple was having lunch when one of them decided to take a picture of the other. She posed beautifully and had a big smile on for the shot. Little did any of them know that there was an extremely bored kid on the other side of the glass who was ready to do anything to entertain himself.
So what did he do? He literally pressed his entire face into the glass, which resulted in this hilarious background. The combination of the girl’s smiley face with the really exaggerated background is just precious!
When Nature Want To Be A Part Of The Photoshoot
Here’s another couple that chose beautiful scenery to take their wedding photos, but little did they know that a bunch of cute critters also wanted to be a part of the shoot. In the middle of the photoshoot, a cute family of raccoons showed up curiously watched what was happening.
They remained there for a few minutes and got to be part of several photos with the happy couple. Talk about a memorable shoot, for both the happy couple and the raccoons, right?
Just A Guy Chilling On The Background
At first glance, many of us won’t notice that there is actually someone in the background of this photo. It mostly looks like two out of the three people photographed have their hair in a bun, until we look closer. Zoomed in, we’re able to clearly see that what looks like a man bun is in fact, just a man.
And funny enough, the guy hasn’t even noticed that he is included in the epic photo, which makes it even more hilarious.
This Horse Forgot How To Be Majestic In This Photo
While horses are usually incredibly majestic with their elegant stride and impeccable mane, they can also be pretty hysterical. Look at this goofball over here. The couple was just taking a photo together when the horse felt like things were a little too boring.
Whoever said horses always need to be on their best behavior? Despite it not being the most elegant, we’re sure this couple will cherish this hilarious photo forever.
This Random Guy Who Photobombed This Biker Group’s Photo
Now, we don’t know if would necessarily call this a photobomb per se, because the truth is that one of the bikers decided to take a selfie while on the road – so in theory, anyone could be a part of it. The funny thing is though, that this random guy just riding his bike realized that the biker group was taking a cool photo, and wasn’t going to ignore the opportunity.
Instead, he struck a pose, and although he was not wearing all a cool black jacket and matching helmet, he’s definitely cool in our book.
Two Families Posing At Once
There is one thing that we’re definitely learning about people in this article. It seems like many people out there love to photobomb, and somehow, they are always ready for it in a split second! Look at this family photo for example. While these two guys are calmly posing with their kid and pup, the family passing by also wanted in on the fun.
So they all looked at the camera at the same time, and even managed to strike a pose. It’s almost like they were born to be a part of that moment, including the tiny baby!
When Dwyane Wade Was Touched To Witness A Proposal On The Beach
Proposing to a loved one is probably one of the most significant moments of a person’s life. For many couples who wish to get married, this moment marks the official beginning of the rest of their lives. But just imagine preparing everything for your grand proposal, and in the middle of it all, realizing that Dwayne Wade is passing by in the background.
The moment was so pure and romantic that even Wade was clearly touched by it. Then, he just had to give his blessing to the couple and take this cute picture with them.
This Cute Pup Resting On His Tiny Couch
When the world moved to the virtual space due to the pandemic, there were quite a few positive things that we got to witness online that brought us all together. This includes Zoom fails that could literally happen to anyone, and the other thing was getting to see people’s cute pets on a daily basis.
This weatherman surely made people’s days every time he appeared on TV with his adorable dog taking an occasional nap on their little sofa. Doesn’t it look comfy?
The Kid On The Background Is Probably Going Places
Some people are just born with an extroverted personality, and from a very young age, they are able to be the center of attention almost anywhere. This boy is certainly going to places, as he didn’t flinch for one second when he noticed this photo being taken.
While the woman was getting ready for the shot, the boy came up with confidence and swag and made it so much better. He clearly needs a whole photoshoot of his own as soon as possible! We hope someone manages to make that happen one day.
This Cat Was Not Happy
It could take you a little while to realize that behind this adorable group of fluffy pups, there is a very angry cat judging everyone including the photographer. The cat is probably thinking “you think this photo is any good without me in it? Think again!”
Obviously, the cat had to make its way into the picture, while the three dogs completely failed to notice that he was even there. Props to this dog owner for managing to get all of his animals still in one photo.
Another Beluga Whale That Wanted In On The Fun
It seems like Beluga whales really do love posing for photos. They’re just so good at photobombing, as this article proves. Also, aquariums might be more popular wedding venues than we thought, since this couple also looks like they have just tied the knot, or at least they’re about to.
The Beluga whale in the background seems to be very curious, and also happy for the couple, who couldn’t hold their excitement when they realized that they had a little visitor in the background.
This Dog Just Had To Be A Part Of The Photo
We just love this photo so much. Out of all the available spots near this lake, this dog just had to do his business in the water, behind a couple in the middle of a photoshoot, while staring directly into the camera! It just doesn’t get much better than that.
Obviously, as soon as the couple noticed the situation happening behind them they burst out laughing hysterically because they simply couldn’t believe it. Oh well, we guess that when you need to go, you just go, exactly as this dog did.
Chicken On The Loose
According to this list, there is no shortage of photobombs at wedding photoshoots. Animal photobombs are even more common, as it seems. And how about this chicken being chased by a wedding goer in the background of this family photo? Too good for words.
Somehow, a chicken went on the loose, and the man tried to catch it. We hope he managed to catch it, but who did it belong to? Was it officially invited?
The Most Perfectly Timed Double Jump
While some people won’t even realize they are photobombing a photo, others will carefully plan it just like these guys did. Props to them because they managed to follow closely the exact moment the two girls jumped, and subsequently did the exact same thing in the background.
The girls didn’t even notice that the guys were in the background until the moment they looked at the photo. What are the chances?
A Very Random Background In Greece
You just can’t make this stuff up! This group of friends was on a girls’ trip to Greece, enjoying themselves and having a lot of well-deserved fun. While they were out and about doing some sightseeing, they stopped for a group photo.
Little did they know that the moment they would take the shot, a naked Greek guy with long hair and a huge beard would appear in the background and become a part of their photo forever. We can only imagine how much they laughed at the random moment.
This Giraffe Wanted To Be Part Of The Fun
Clearly, animals are much more in tune with the photos we take than we thought. Be it a horse, a cat, a beluga whale, or in this case, a giraffe, it seems like the animals are constantly attentive, and know exactly when to make their presence felt. This couple who seems to be either on a safari trip or a zoo took a cute selfie.
They probably moved on with their day, until later that day when they scrolled through their photos and saw they made a brand new friend that day without even knowing.
An Inflatable Tube Man Can Also Photobomb
So, it seems like it’s not only people and animals who photobomb people’s photos. Clearly, inflatable tube men also like to have their shining moment, and this one couldn’t have done it more perfectly. It looks like these two people are celebrating the purchase of a new car, which obviously called for a photo.
Hilariously though, they didn’t just take the photo in front of the dealership, and possibly the car they had just bought. The dealership’s bright blue inflatable man also made it in at the exact same moment. It looks so friendly!
The Jealousy Is Real Between These Two Dogs
Clearly, this doggie wasn’t too keen on sharing its mom with another doggie. We have no idea whether the two cute pups are siblings, but clearly, one of them gets pretty jealous when someone else is getting some attention.
Funny enough, the girl managed to capture the dog’s expression when she kissed the other dog and realized that her attention will have to be equally split between the two of them.
Another Hilarious Horse Makes An Entrance
Once again, we’re getting a pretty interesting look at the different expressions that horses make in a day. When it seems like one horse is always composed and just doing its thing, there’s usually another one who is a little bit goofier.
We can easily tell which is which in this photo since the horse on the left is just chilling elegantly, and the smaller one on the right is being its goofy self for the camera.
When Things Don’t Go According To Plan
Here’s the thing, while fails are probably incredibly painful when they happen, if they’re actually captured on camera, the moment probably becomes a laughing matter forever. Just look at this guy in the background of this newlywed photo shoot. The couple wanted some magical shots of their wedding day, but it seems like the guy responsible for the magical-looking dust didn’t train as much as he should have.
Sadly, he ended up sliding sideways and having the whole thing recorded forever. We hope he’s ok!
Stingray Wants In On The Action
This person’s parents were having the time of their lives during a holiday on a magical island. After getting off the boat at a place known for having stingrays everywhere, the couple asked someone to take a photo of them.
Suddenly, a huge smiley stingray appeared in the background and posed for the camera as if it knew exactly that a picture was being taken at that moment. Now, this couple will get to have one of the coolest pictures out there to relive forever.
This Guy Wanted A Snack
There are certain animals that don’t look scary at all unless they’re actively trying to take a bite off a person’s head. This cutie probably found it really interesting to see this stranger swimming around their house, so they had to check what was going on.
We suspect that the diver realized that the animal was approaching them, so they decided to snap a photo. The picture ended up coming out perfectly timed, we just hope that guy’s head was intact after the encounter.
An Interesting Addition To A Bikini Shot
Well, this guy is proving to all of us that a person is never too old to get in a bikini shot. Now, we have no idea whether he was a part of the group, or he was just randomly passing by when he saw the girls posing for the photo.
He is not particularly wearing the right attire for it, but hey, he did what he could to blend in. In the end, though, we would say that he stands out much more than he blends in, and the result of it is simply hilarious!
This Girl Who Really Couldn’t Care Less
This girl is really high up there with her photobombing skills. In fact, this photo has gained so much attention that you’ve probably seen it online before. The group of girls was posing for a prom photo, with each of them wearing a fancy gown for one of the most important nights of their young adulthood.
But one girl wasn’t too excited about the whole thing and chose to attend to higher priorities, such as eating her bag of chips in peace in the background.
Spot The Cat. We Promise It’s There
This is another photo that could pass as just a regular cute baby photo. But once you pay closer attention to the baby’s head you’ll realize that what you’re looking at is not just her hair. There’s is actually a cat in the background staring straight into the camera.
But the cat’s distance, size, and color are so perfectly organized that one could easily fail to see that it’s there. However, once you see it, there is no way in the world that you’ll be able to pay attention to anything else but the funny background.
And The Award For Photobombing Goes To…
It seems as though the guy photobombing this picture is virtually invisible. The photobombing skills are so impressive that one really needs to zoom in to the group picture to realize that there is another person in the background.
While these girls posed for their group photo, a guy inside of this coffee shop realized that if he scooped in close enough to the window he would be able to be a part of the picture, and so that’s exactly what he did.
The Cat Was Watching Them
First things first, we’re not really sure how this person believed that their UPS package was “hidden,” since it’s pretty clear by the placement of the carpet that there is definitely something under it. Either way, this might have worked for them a few times, so who are we to judge.
Somehow though, when they decided to take a quick picture of the “hidden” package, their cat appeared on the window to watch what they were up to. In the end, the cat became the main subject of the photo.
A Boy That Came Out Of Nowhere
This girl was out with her friend for a coffee, when she thought the scenery was great for a good photo. So she asked her friend to snap one of her. However, a random kid making a curious fashion statement passed by exactly at the same second the photo was taken and ended up photobombing in an epic fashion.
As soon as he realized that a photo was being taken, he even made an expression to acknowledge the moment.
These Considerate People Failed At Hiding
Taking a picture in a crowded place is really hard. There will be tons of people in the background, especially in places like museums and theme parks, and anywhere that attracts a crowd. But sometimes, people try to be considerate. They’re not always successful at it, however.
Take this family for example. They realized that this girl was posing for a photo, so they did their best at hiding to let her be the star of her picture. Unfortunately, they didn’t do so well and ended up being very much visible then attempted.
This Dog Was Too Curious To Stay Behind
House dogs often cannot wait for the moment they get to go outside again. And it seems like this cute doggie called Nova was very interested in what was happening outside. So instead of staying put waiting for the owner to return and get her, she decided to go directly into the fence and to observe the interesting creature that was resting on it.
This resulted in this adorable photo that we’re sure her owner is proud of.
When You Need Attention But No One Sees You
Shopping is not for everyone, so if there is an opportunity to try an adventurous ride in a shopping mall, many kids would much prefer it. It seems like the kid in the background of this photo regretted making that decision, however.
Unfortunately, though, no one was really paying attention to him, so he made the most annoyed face we’ve ever seen. We hope he got help after this was taken.
She Wanted To Be A Part Of The Picture
So many things about this picture are weird, but the photobomb in the middle probably wins the medal. It almost looks like someone was photoshopped in there, but if you look really closely, you’ll realize that there is indeed a girl in the back. These two girls didn’t notice the situation at all, as they posed with their well-deserved medals for the picture.
Yet, the girl in the background also wanted to be a part of the picture, so instead of standing next to them, she just used the little space in the middle to smile straight into the camera.
This Smiley Fish Who Decided To Swim Into The Picture
Diving and snorkeling are some of the most humbling experiences a person can ever have. We get to have a peek at the endless world underwater and to see some of the most beautiful animals in the animal kingdom. This guy was definitely having a good time when he posed for this underwater shot with the friendliest fish we’ve ever seen.
He didn’t expect the fish to actually look at the camera and smile. With this angle, it almost looks like the person is the one photobombing the picture, and not the fish.
This Best Friend Who Photobombed The Best Wedding Photo Ever
There is something about the moments one spends with loved ones on a wedding day that is incomparable to any other day. Our family is there, our friends, and all of the people who make our lives meaningful. So, even though this picture is undeniably beautiful, there is something very magical about it being photobombed by their best bud.
This photobomb is just so glam and festive, we love everything about it. As does the happy couple, clearly!
Another Dog That Was Trying To Mind Its Own Business
One of the purest things about dogs is that they do whatever they have to do at the moment they feel the need. So obviously, whenever they need to go potty they just go for it, no matter what goes on around them. And the funny thing is that this parent didn’t check the background at all before they took this adorable picture of their baby.
They only noticed it once they began showing it to friends and family, and no one could ignore the hilarious scene that went on in the back. Sorry, baby!
The One Time That Drake Photobombed A Family Photo
This family was having a wonderful family dinner at a restaurant in Venice Beach when suddenly, they saw Drake walking in and sitting at the table behind them. Apparently, he sat there for almost 30 minutes drinking his water and waiting for what seemed like his date. Of course, the family members were ecstatic, but they really wanted to give the singer his space.
But when the family asked the waiter to take a picture of them, Drake just had to do his thing in the background, making the moment an unforgettable one for sure!
40+ Designs That Failed So Badly The Whole Internet Piled On
This article was originally published on 24/7Mirror
Before deciding on how something like a sign, t-shirt, or book cover is going to look, someone has to review the final draft. However, someone must have been sleeping during the design meetings for these items because we don’t know how they got to the market. From plant-dyed underwear that looked like someone had an accident to useless quotation marks on a police car, these design fails will make you appreciate the designers who put even a tiny amount of effort into their work.
Women’s Pockets Can’t Even Fit A Phone
Women’s pockets never seem to be deep enough to hold anything useful, which is why we have to carry around purses. You usually don’t see men carrying purses (unless it is for fashion) because their pockets can hold everything but the kitchen sink.
Sometimes women don’t want to carry around an extra bag just because their pockets aren’t big enough. Maybe men make the pockets on jeans so small, so women have to carry around purses, and then they can put more stuff in them.
Someone Assembled This Mannequin Before Having Coffee
Maybe someone was still hungover from the night before, or they haven’t seen a child in their life, but this is not what a children’s mannequin should look like. They probably couldn’t find the right head and threw that on so it wouldn’t be headless.
It doesn’t have arms, and why did they need to put a man’s head on it? This really is what nightmares are made of, and we do not want to see what happens when it gets dark and this thing comes to life.
The Most Intimidating Underwear We’ve Ever Seen
Whoever folded the underwear in these Diesel boxes must have been having a bad day because they left a strong message for everyone. If you read it in German, it means “The, the, the,” but we all know what they were trying to say in English.
We get that it’s their brand name, but isn’t there a way to package things without telling people to die? We would just put the ending of the name even if it doesn’t make sense in the window because it’s much less intimidating.
We All Know What Happened To Snow White When She Ate An Apple, So…
We all know the story of Snow White – the evil queen dresses up as an old hag and gives her a poison apple. Snow White then falls into an endless sleep until her true love comes. Well, that is not great advertising because who would want to eat an apple when they associate it with poison?
Maybe the children won’t remember that the apple hurt her, and they will just remember how delicious the apple looked before Snow White bit into it. Hopefully, they just remember that she is a pretty princess and apples are yummy.
One Armed Mother And A Demon Child = The Perfect Family
Apparently, this is a demon family because the mom is missing an arm and the daughter has horns like the devil. We don’t know what planet this family is from but we would not want to be on that planet because it seems scary.
We are guessing they printed the girl’s head upside down, which is why she has “horns.” However, we can’t explain what happened to the mom’s arm. Maybe she is holding the dad’s hand with both her hands.
Assemble This Chair And Then Sit On Another Chair
While these assembly instructions are much more straightforward than IKEA instructions, the ending doesn’t really add up. Why would they build a chair just to sit on a completely different chair?
Maybe they want you to take a break and find inner peace before continuing the setup. We know how frustrating putting together furniture can be, but this step would make more sense if it meant taking a break.
Start To Finish Isn’t That Far Apart
The person who made this maze really didn’t think about challenging people, and they made the fireman look dumb because he could have figured it out on his own. It’s only around the corner; he doesn’t have to go that far.
Firefighter Kevin should go back to fire school if he didn’t figure out how to get around one wall. We bet someone still messed up this maze because no one assumes that it is so easy to find the exit.
Bike Lanes With A Bit Of An Obstacle Course
Have you ever been riding your bike down a bike path and suddenly there is a small wall in the way? Maybe the person that made this thought it would be a good way to teach people how to jump an object sticking up out of the ground.
After waiting for a while to get a bike lane, the community was annoyed that they didn’t think to make it completely smooth so people wouldn’t get hurt. We guess people have to be BMX pro-level bikers to go on this bike lane
This Bulldog Wouldn’t Scare Anyone
When this high school commissioned a bulldog for their school front yard, they probably imagined something more intimidating. Whoever made this statue had good intentions, but the execution was not what we would have expected.
When their rivals come for a sports game, they will probably laugh at the statue and think they can beat the opposing team. They should probably get a better-looking bulldog because that one is not something people want to see when they arrive each day.
Someone Thought This Should Go In The School Courtyard
Just when you thought school statues couldn’t get any uglier, we raise you this school’s mascot. We wouldn’t even know this was supposed to be a wildcat if someone didn’t tell us.
We wonder if the school put it up because they felt bad for the person who made it. Maybe they had to put it up because they paid for it and didn’t want to waste money. Hopefully, they hid it away in the courtyard where no one has to look at it all the time.
A Toilet Seat That No One Would Want To Sit On
We are sure this person cleans their bathroom thoroughly; however, we would be uncomfortable using this toilet seat because it looks like someone had an accident all over it. We guess an acrylic seat with flowers in it wasn’t the best decision in retrospect.
Maybe they should have thought this through before putting something like that on a toilet. What was wrong with regular toilet seats? Does everything have to be so extravagant? No one really cares what the seat looks like as long as it’s clean.
The Pull Tabs That Make Life Harder Rather Than Easier
The little safety seal paper on top of the pill bottles is probably the most frustrating thing to take off. Somehow they actually make it harder to take the safety seal off, and it defeats their whole purpose.
Whose idea was it to create a pull tab that rips off the thing it is attached to? Maybe they should just make them easier to open, so people didn’t have to struggle every time they want to open a pill bottle.
So You Want To Be COVID Positive?
COVID took over the world in 2020 and turned all of our lives around. The one thing no one wanted to be positive for in the past year was coronavirus, so this shirt makes absolutely no sense.
Why would anyone purchase a shirt that said COVID on it (unless there was a strong swearword before it)? It is something we all want to forget because it has been a rough year. We don’t want commemorative shirts that will always make us think of the time when we were locked in our homes.
Someone Didn’t Think About The Rain When They Made These Benches
The benches at this university are tilted back and have no drainage system. Unfortunately, it is in a place where it rains often. Therefore, all the water from the rain collects on the bench and doesn’t drain for days so that no one can sit there.
Whoever built these benches didn’t think about the rain or how the water would get off the bench. Students have no place to sit between their classes, and that’s no fun after a rainy day when they want to enjoy the nice weather.
We Thought It Was Horribly Stained Until We Saw All The Details
Buying a mattress second-hand is always questionable because you don’t know what the people did on it before you bought it. When someone saw this mattress listed online, they couldn’t believe someone would post such a disgusting mattress.
However, when you take a closer look, you can see that it is just a design, but we can’t figure out why someone would design a mattress like that. We can all take guesses of what it could be if it weren’t a design, but luckily it was just printed like that for some odd reason.
A Dance Floor Where Everyone Can See Up Your Skirt
When you are dancing at an event, the last thing you want to think about is who is possibly looking up your skirt from the floor below. Whose idea was it to put a glass floor in a place where people can see from below?
It’s strange that the place had to put a sign up for women to be warned that people can see up their skirts, instead of fixing the actual problem. People might not even see the sign, and everyone below will be geting a free show.
Did Someone Have An Accident?
Have you ever thought about dying a pair of underwear with plants? We are going to guess that you haven’t but if you wanted to know what the results would be, here is your answer. They look like someone had a bit of an accident.
Luckily no one sees your underwear that often, so it wouldn’t really matter if they looked like this, but if you happen to change in a locker room or in front of your friends, they might wonder what happened to your underpants.
How Many Cars Have Been Dented On This Hydrant?
This fire hydrant couldn’t have been placed in a worse place. The person who installed it probably didn’t realize this would one day be a parking lot, but the business that put a parking lot there should have accounted for the hydrant.
How many cars do you think have been dented while backing up because they forgot there was a fire hydrant in the middle of the parking lot? We would be so annoyed if we parked here and it accidentally hit this.
It’s Supposed To Say “Heroes” Not “Herpes”
While the intention of this mug was sweet, someone forgot to look at the final design from all angles because it looks like the mug says herpes instead of heroes. No one wants to drink out of a mug with herpes on it.
People would rather not buy the mug, and then the people making it will lose money. It is always hard to make things look perfect when they are printed on the side of a mug, but they barely tried.
The Mannequins Look Like They Come To Life At Night And Hurt People
For some reason, when we look at this picture, all we can hear is creepy clown music playing in the background before the mannequins come to life and kill us. Why would anyone paint faces like this, and place the mannequins in those awkward positions?
We wonder if any children are scared when they have to walk past this window. It also seems to be a high-end store, so wouldn’t they invest in nicer and less creepy mannequins?
It Looks Like Someone Was Already Practicing With The Paper
When this person opened up their origami kit, they realized the paper was already folded, which defeats the purpose of folding paper. When they use this paper to make a crane or whatever, it will have creases in it where they don’t want them.
It seems strange that someone putting together an origami kit would think that folding it is the best idea. Hopefully, they have other papers to use because this one is not ideal.
Anna And Hans Got Some Work Done Since We Last Saw Them
Since we last saw them in Frozen 2, Anna and Hans got a bit of plastic surgery. Anna must have gone to one of the cheaper doctors in Beverly Hills because it looks like she got too much botox. Hans, on the other hand, looks like he has seen some crazy stuff.
We don’t know what company made these dolls, but they look like something you would find at the dollar store. We hope the children who received these didn’t get nightmares because of this.
Do They Have Enough Lights?
Why have a reasonable number of high hat lights when you could put one on every square inch of the ceiling? Whoever designed this room thought that there weren’t enough lights and wanted to put them wherever they could fit.
This looks like the ceiling has acne or chickenpox with all the light everywhere. We would love to speak to the contractor and see what mindset they were in when they designed this room.
The Headboard Has A Power Button That Can Light Up The Whole Room
This headboard is really cool because it has a USB outlet for chargers that you can turn on and off. Although it is useful, the power switch lights up the entire room when the person is trying to sleep.
To make matters worse, blue light is the most disruptive and messes with your brain’s ability to sleep. We would get some black tape and cover it so that it still worked, but it wouldn’t be annoying.
Someone Didn’t Think This Black Friday Flier Through
When this store made their Black Friday fliers, the designer didn’t think their idea through because it looks like it says “Black Kids Sale.” The word Friday is not only hard to read, but it is in such a light color that you can barely see it.
Hopefully, they aren’t trying to sell children of any kind because that is horribly unethical and increadibly illegal last time we checked. Next time someone tries to make a flier for this store, they should check how it looks to other people’s eyes.
Demon Elsa Haunting Elementary School Everywhere
Why is it that Disney characters get turned into the creepiest products? This Elsa backpack could not look any more like a demon with the eyes pushed away from her face.
We wish we could get this picture out of our minds, but Elsa will probably haunt our nightmares tonight. How can something so innocent be so terrifying? We wish we could have shown this picture to the designer before it was mass-produced.
The Most Random Windows We Have Ever Seen
“You get a window, and you get a window, and you get a window!” What was this contractor thinking when they designed these windows that are placed in the most random spots.
The OCD inside of us would go crazy with the windows like this because it is so uneven and scattered. If we saw this house on the market, we would immediately lose interest the second after seeing these windows.
Is The Child Giant Or Is The Saint Bernard The Smallest One In The World?
Saint Bernards are one of the larger dog breeds out there, so unless that child is huge and the pool is the largest one in the world, someone messed up the proportions here.
Also, why did they choose to put this dog in the pool with the child? Maybe they were inspired by the scene in Beethoven when the dog saves the little girl after she falls into the pool. Whatever the situation, this ad makes no sense.
The Unfortunate Fastener Placement On This Advertisement
This sandwich board was advertising Senior Day, and unfortunately, they put the fastener in the most bizarre place. It seems that Mad-Eye Moody from Harry Potter did survive even though he was presumed dead.
Hopefully, the man who modeled for this picture never sees this because that would just be hurtful. Someone didn’t think about the space needed for the fasteners, so they simply had to make do.
The Steam From The Oven Always Messes Up The Touch Screen Settings
While having a touch screen is sleek and high-tech, the fact that it doesn’t work if it gets even the slightest bit wet is useless. Every time this person opens their oven, the steam comes out, and the touch screen settings get all messed up.
How are they supposed to cook anything when they can’t use their oven properly? We would be so frustrated if this happened all the time, but they should have thought this through when creating the oven.
Apparently This Soda Syrup Has Zero Taste
Although we know that they mean it has zero calories, anyone who reads it quickly will think it has zero taste. This is the knock-off brand of soda syrup, so you can’t really expect much. Maybe they don’t have much taste.
Some people really don’t think about how things are going to look when they are printed on a product, and it shows. How did this get on the shelves without someone fixing the design first?
Modern Condo With A Quarter Of A Kitchen
We have seen many ridiculous apartments before with weird lighting, unsafe wiring, and bathrooms in the most bizarre place, but we have never seen something with only a quarter of a kitchen.
How is anyone supposed to fit in there to cook or open a drawer even? This has to be some kind of a joke because you can’t even reach most of the kitchen.
How To Not Sell Birds In The Museum Shop
How is it at all appealing to someone coming through a gift shop to see that these birds look like they have nooses tied around their necks? It is quite disturbing for anyone, especially if a child sees this. Why didn’t anyone think about this?
It seems like whoever put these out really hates birds. Don’t get us wrong, we dislike birds as much as the next person, but we would never want them to have a grim ending like this.
A Moment Of Silence For All The Keys Lost In The Grate
The person that put the mailboxes in front of the sewer grate must really hate people who want to get their mail. We can only imagine how many people have dropped their keys and been without mail for weeks because of this mailbox.
Imagine you dropped your keys down there multiple times in one week. At some point, these people probably try to intercept the mailman so they don’t have to worry about using their mailbox keys at all.
That Would Be A Lovely Surprise To Walk Downstairs And See Someone On The Toilet
Since this looks like something you would find in a bar, we would be concerned that a drunk person would fall down trying to use the restroom. It also seems like this is how employees get to the basement, and there is no privacy for customers.
It looks just like the bathroom from Parasite, and just looking at it makes us want to take a two-hour shower. How would anyone even think this was legitimate?
Dead End Sign At The End Of The Path
When these people got to the end of the path and saw the “Dead End” sign, all they could think was, “Thanks, captain obvious!” If the path ends there is clearly nowhere else to go, and people would figure that out without a sign.
The municipality must think these people are too dumb to realize the path ends without a “dead end” sign. We would almost be offended by the fact that people think the public needs this obvious sign.
How Many Mustaches Can One Person Have?
This man in a training video for work has two mustaches. Maybe the animator thought, “Why have just one mustache when you could have two?” It is probably quite distracting, and they are likely not learning much from the training.
Didn’t the graphic designer watch the video before sending it to the final cut? They surely would have noticed that the man has two mustaches because he is staring at you right in the face. They must not have been paying attention to those small details.
Is This Trophy For Golf Or Assault?
When people make trophies, they usually have a set mold, and there is only one person on top of the trophy. However, the trophy has two people on it, and it looks like they are about to beat each other with those golf clubs.
We don’t know what kind of competition they won, but we hope it wasn’t a competition to clobber each other. Maybe it was a couples golfing tournament for those at the cusp of divorce. Whatever the case may be, this just doesn’t look right.
Don’t Come Stumbling Into This House Drunk At Night
“Welcome to our home. Would you like to topple down the stairs as you enter our foyer?” The contractor of this home must have had it out for the owners because it would be so easy for someone to trip on their way in and go head-first down the stairs.
Maybe the people who own the home had one too many demanding requests, and the contractor decided to make the staircase like this as revenge. It doesn’t look like a safe place to be when you are intoxicated.
This Bowl Looks Like It Never Gets Clean
Have you ever eaten out of a bowl, and it won’t come clean after? These people probably spent hours scrubbing this bowl only to realize that it was part of the design. Why would someone make a design that seems like the bowl is always dirty?
We would use this to prank someone we didn’t like to make them think we gave them food in a nasty bowl. Doesn’t this make you want to take a sponge and scrub it until the yellow is gone?
“Moisturizing Gloves” Turn Your Hairy Elderly Hands Into Hairless Young Woman Hands
Something doesn’t add up here. The before picture is a pair of hair man hands, while the after picture is a smooth pair of delicate young womanly hands. These gloves might be great, but they can’t work miracles! Unless these gloves are magic, this ad could not be more off.
Didn’t the designer know that people would realize these are two completely different hands? At least they could have used a pair of smooth man hands for the after picture to make it slightly believable.
She Has A Giant Head And A Tiny Hair-Free Body
When people create packaging designs, there are usually a few phases the design goes through before it is produced. Therefore, someone should have noticed how strange this wax box looked with the woman’s large head and tiny body.
Maybe they want you to know that you might get a big head when you use this wax, but at least you will be hair-free. There are some positives and negatives to that, but in the end, you could have strange proportions like the woman on the box.
Nothing Says Happy Camping Like A Coffin-Shaped Cookie
When we think of camping, we think of trees, tents, an RV, fire, and s’mores, lots of s’mores! Well, whoever put this camping-themed cookie cutter set together had darker ideas. We wouldn’t put camping a death together in the same sentence, but they must have had a traumatizing experience.
Hopefully, the people who bought this didn’t bring coffin cookies to their camping trip because that would send some mixed messages to the people they went with. If someone brought those, we would think they had plans to murder us.
The Color Indicators For This Graph Don’t Quite Match Up
The world may never know the percentages of natural disasters in Turkey because the graph key doesn’t match up with the chart. Why bother color-coding each disaster when they decided to use pictures in the end? Someone missed the memo here.
While we could just read the key to see the percentage of each natural disaster in Turkey, some people are visual learners, and this would completely confuse them. How long was this printed before someone said, “Maybe we should fix this?”
Healthy Smoothies For Everyone?
Typography is a special talent in design because they are able to find the right fonts and layouts for a project, and this person clearly doesn’t have the eye for it. How are people supposed to know that this says healthy smoothies?
At first, we thought, “What is heal thy smoo thies,” but then we said it faster, and it was like one of those wordplay games. However, no one wants to start decoding signs when they are looking for something while walking down the street.
People Will Never Learn To Not Put Faces In Corners
After seeing many pictures of faces messed up when they are plastered across the corner of a room, you would think companies would learn not to design an advertisement like this. The girl’s face is messed up, and she is supposed to be the focal point of this design.
People who walked past this probably wondered, “What did that model do to the designer to be embarrassed like that.” No one will know how amazing her outfit is now that it is cut off by the corner.
Who Did This To The Bunny?
When you go to the dollar store for Easter toys, you can’t expect much, considering they only cost a dollar. When this person went into the store, they found this bizarre toy that shoots blue balls out of the rabbit’s mouth, and it just didn’t feel right.
What did this bunny do to deserve a ball shoved in its mouth? It sends a strange message to children, and we don’t think many parents would approve of this, even if it is just a dollar.
The Rayquaza Figure That Looks Like It’s Projectile Vomiting
The Rayquaza is a type of Pokemon that is known for its air locking abilities. We don’t know what “air locking” is exactly, but we don’t think it is supposed to look like the Rayquaza is projectile vomiting onto the ground.
Its ability to affect the weather probably has nothing to do with shooting green liquid out of its mount, which is why people probably wouldn’t buy this toy. Whoever thought of this design must have never played Pokemon before.
Since When Does A Man’s Chin Look Like That?
While people’s faces come in all different shapes and sizes, we are almost 99 percent positive that this is not what this man’s chin looked like before he used this beard growth product. Unless he is the real-life Crimson Chin, we doubt his face was that elongated without a beard.
Whoever designed this poster didn’t realize that a person’s face will look much different without a beard, and their face wouldn’t be morphed like this. Someone needs to study beardless faces before they design faces.
Cheerleader Photos Captured at Exactly the Right Moment
This article was originally published on MvpMode
Cheerleaders were originally meant to cheer to motivate sports teams, but nowadays, they have people cheering for them in national and international competitions. If you’ve watched Cheer on Netflix, you probably know cheerleaders today are admired, praised, and let’s be honest, envied. But they’re not always perfect. The hilarious photos below show moments when cheerleaders weren’t camera-ready, but were definitely ready to become memes. Get ready for some serious cheer!
When You Had One Job, and You Still Failed
Being a regular high school student is difficult enough. Being a high school student and a cheerleader? Wow. We get it, it’s difficult to balance classes, homework, and cheer practice, but this is such a typical case of “you had one job. Only one job. And you still failed.” Seriously, though, “Got ‘spirt’?” “Spirit” is not even a difficult word to spell. We don’t have “spirt,” but we do have spell check.
The worst thing about this image is that it doesn’t really help with the hurtful stereotype that cheerleaders are all beauty and no brains. Anyway, it’s just a misspelled word, and as they say – “Pobody’s nerfect.”
When Life Begins to Slowly Fall Apart
Remember that scene from The Simpsons Movie, where Bart ends up humiliated in public and says, “This is the worst day of my life,” and Homer tries to console him but ultimately makes things worse by replying, “The worst day of your life so far”? We think about that quote a lot. Sometimes it really feels like things keep getting worse and worse, until the moment you can’t do anything about it anymore.
This is what life looks like when it finally stops falling apart slowly, and it begins to fall apart quickly. We know it’s coming, we’re just waiting for it. Waiting for that last straw.
When You Have the Perfect Comeback for an Argument, and Your Moment Arrives
We can think of very few situations that are more frustrating than being the loser in an argument, and only later thinking of something to say that would have turned everything around. Likewise, there are few things more satisfying in life than knowing exactly what to say when you need to say it. This perfectly timed picture is the exact representation of what it feels like when you nail it during an argument.
You knew this moment was coming. You predicted how the argument was gonna start, and you saw the way it was gonna go. The other person said something that was meant to shut you up, but you were prepared. Your moment is now.
And the Wingwoman of the Year Award Goes to…
We always hear people talking about their wingmen, but we feel like they should be talking about the wingwomen, too. Can we stop for a second and honor all of the awesome wingwomen out there? We want to shower them with the love and appreciation they deserve. Check out this lady, for instance, who looks like she’s ready to take home the Wingwoman of the Year award. That’s what true friendship looks like.
All jokes aside, though, we have to say – isn’t it amazing how strong cheerleaders are? That control! That balance! Not to mention the fact that the cheerleader on the bottom is doing it with a smile on her face. It’s downright impressive!
When You’re a Cheerleader in Australia
Crikey, so this is what it’s like to be a cheerleader in Australia? Their pyramids must be insane! Seriously though, what a great action shot. Kudos to the person who captured the exact moment when this cheerleader was perfectly upside down. And kudos to the cheerleader as well, because this stunt doesn’t look easy, and we’re sure it took many hours of practice until she mastered every aspect of this movement.
Meanwhile, we can barely do a decent somersault, and the only regular exercise we do is walking from our desk to the vending machine when we’re out of coffee and Doritos.
What Has Been Seen Cannot Be Unseen
Most of us know the “What has been seen cannot be unseen” meme in the form of a wide-eyed black cat with its ears folded back, although there are many other versions of it, featuring other funny-looking cats. Believe us, we love those kitties, we think they’re awesome, but wouldn’t this image also be perfect for that meme? Those two cheerleaders on the bottom could replace those cats anytime.
The curious thing is that their facial expressions are so different from one another, but in the end, they both seem like they have been scarred for life. Cheerleading is not easy, y’all.
That Moment When You Realize It Wasn’t a Fart
There are so many great things about this image, we didn’t even know where to start. We were gonna go for the male cheerleader on the bottom, but it seemed a little too obvious. Then we moved on to the cheerleader on the right, who looks like she can hardly believe she’s a real cheerleader. But we had to say something about the cheerleader on top, because we love her facial expression.
She’s making the perfect face for a “That moment when you realize” meme, because it does seem like something very important with serious implications just dawned on her, and she – and possibly the people around her – will have to deal with the consequences.
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome
Women know how annoying it is that our clothes often don’t come with real pockets. Sometimes our pants don’t have pockets at all. Sometimes the designers draw the pockets but they don’t actually make them (why are fake pockets even a thing?). Sometimes they make them, but they’re so small, you can hardly fit your keys in there. Is this all a conspiracy so we’ll be forced to buy handbags? We think so.
Anyways, cheerleaders definitely don’t have pockets in their uniforms, but they’re still people, and they need to carry their stuff with them. This cheerleader in particular had to improvise, adapt, and overcome, and she certainly did it well.
And That, Kids, Is How I Met Your Mother
Do you sometimes look at photos online and start imagining what’s the story behind them? That’s a good creativity exercise, and if you have enough spare time on your hands, you can end up with little screenplays in your head, the greatest works of fiction no one will ever read or watch. We looked at this photo and it really awakened our inner Nicholas Sparks (author of Dear John and The Notebook, among many other bestselling books).
This looks like the beginning of a beautiful love story, the quarterback and the cheerleader, and we can hardly wait to sell the rights to this book so it can be turned into a movie.
One Does Not Simply Wear White After Labor Day
They say that some rules are meant to be followed and some rules are meant to be broken, and choosing what to do when is what makes you, you. Well, breaking the wrong fashion rules apparently makes you internet-famous, and not for a good reason. Ever heard of a little rule called “do not wear white after labor day”? Maybe you thought this was an obsolete piece of advice, but we have a newfound respect for it.
It’s not like this cheerleader chose to wear white shorts – they’re just part of her uniform – but she broke a fashion rule and now she’s paying the price. One does not simply wear white after labor day. We’re sure that’s the reasoning behind this unfortunate photo!
When You Have Cheer Practice at 8 but You Have to Haunt an Abandoned House at 9
If you know anything about cheerleading at all, you’re probably aware of the fact that the activity is quite dangerous. In fact, several studies have found that cheerleaders suffer more concussions than athletes from contact sports such as hockey and lacrosse, which are notoriously tough. This cheerleader apparently got hurt doing a stunt and she’s just powering through. What a champ! We hope she got medical attention as soon as she finished the routine.
This cheerleader does look like she’s got “haunting an abandoned house” scheduled right after finishing up with this pep rally, though.
That Moment When You See Something You Want on Sale
They say money can’t buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with. There are some things that normal people do that rich people never have to worry about. For instance, waiting for stuff to go on sale. You probably know the feeling. Falling in love with something you can’t really afford, so you keep your eyes on it, watching, waiting patiently, hoping it doesn’t get sold out.
And then your patience is rewarded, and your moment finally arrives. The item is on sale. Stop everything! Just stop! I need to buy this whatever-whatever!
When You’ve Been Dating for a While and You Can Finally Reveal Your True Colors
Dating is not easy. Even nowadays, with so many apps allowing us to connect with new people in the area, it can be tricky to find someone you want to have as a partner. It takes a while to get there, too. In the beginning, in the stage of attraction, both of you are probably nervous and trying to make a good impression, so you don’t really let your hair down.
This perfectly timed cheerleader photo reminds us of that stage when you’ve been dating for a while and you can finally reveal your true colors. It might scare your date, but if they don’t run, they’re probably a keeper.
When You Lied on Your Resume but Now You Have to Do the Job
Apparently, because resumes aren’t legal documents, it isn’t technically illegal to lie on them, but still, doing so is a really bad idea. A lot of folks do it anyways, though – it’s estimated that 40% of people lie on their CV. They’ll do things like use a fake address, inflate their titles, or exaggerate numbers – but lying about your technical abilities is the worst thing you could do. “Sure, I am proficient in Excel. I’m extra proficient at it.”
The problem, of course, is when they get hired and actually have to do the job in front of everyone. This image makes us think that maybe this person didn’t have any previous cheerleading experience after all.
Seeing Your Sibling Get Yelled at for Something You Did
There’s nothing like sibling love, right? If anyone says anything bad about your sibling, you’ll defend their honor until the end, not only because you love them, but because no one but you is allowed to mess with them. Sounds familiar? We know plenty of siblings who grew up like that. This photo right here is hilarious. We love the facial expressions on those two cheerleaders, firstly because they look like they’re fun people, and also because this is great meme material.
Is this or is this not the face a child makes when they see their sibling getting yelled for something they did? If you’ve never done this before, chances are, you’ve had it done to you.
When You’re About to Sneeze but You’ve Got to Concentrate to Make It Happen
There’s a lot going on in this image, and we just want to start by saying that we respect cheerleaders so much. We can’t get over how strong they are – the women and the men – and the things they can do with their bodies blow us away every time. We love their funny photos too. There’s a lot we could say about this picture, especially because of what that guy is looking at. But his facial expression is what really gets us, here.
This guy is making that face when people can feel a sneeze coming, but they’re about to lose it, and they have to concentrate really hard to make it happen. You can do it, dude. Achoo!
Leaving Work on Friday Like
We’ve all heard the phrase, “Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life,” and while it certainly sounds inspiring, the truth is that this is not a reality for most of us. We’ve got bills to pay, after all, and we don’t see any job openings where we could just pet cats all day. So people have to work in whatever gets them through the monthly bills, possibly hating the office and their coworkers, and basically living for the weekend.
This is what those people look like when they leave the office at 5pm on a Friday, especially if they notice their boss was just about to come over and ask them about that document they wanted them to prepare.
When Your Life Is Falling Apart but You’re Trying to Stay Positive
This perfectly timed picture made us laugh out loud, because of the cheerleader in the center of the pyramid, forcing a smile when it looks like the rest of the pyramid is about to come crashing down. That’s us whenever we feel like our life is falling apart (which is quite often), but we’re still trying to stay positive. This is it. We never thought we would be able to relate to a cheerleader this much, but here we are.
Trying to stay positive and hoping for the best is all that we can do sometimes. Everything is going wrong, but we’re still smiling wide. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.
When You’re Having a Bad Day, Remember That It Could Always Be Worse
Cheerleaders are beautiful, athletic, lively, and high-spirited – it seems like they have everything going for them, but even the most successful cheerleaders have their off days. This woman, for instance, was probably so happy, living her dream of being a cheerleader for the New Orleans Pelicans, when she was hit over the head with a basketball that was flying so fast, it knocked her off her feet. Ouch, that’s gotta hurt!
Also, is that… Will Ferrell? In this case, this was probably shot for a movie, but still. Can’t be fun to get hit on the head with a basketball, even if it’s by one of our favorite comedians.
When Your Two Personalities Have to Coexist in Peace
This looks so dangerous, and we hope the cheerleader on the right got medical attention after this photo was taken. Cheerleading is beautiful, but it can be super scary sometimes. This image is funny though, because it looks like our two personalities coexisting in peace. One is together, balanced, well adjusted, motivated, and gets stuff done. That personality is a doer. The other one? Well, the other is not very well-adjusted, no.
This is also exactly what we look like on a Monday, versus what we look like on a Friday, after an entire week of work. We need to start implementing a 4-day week with a 3-day weekend, y’all.
Managers Be Like
Shoutout to all the good managers out there, because there aren’t a lot of you – at least that’s the impression we get when we see the number of memes making fun of managers. This perfectly timed photo of a group of cheerleaders working on a stunt could easily be turned into one of those, because it looks like a bunch of managers telling an employee how to do their job, when they have no clue how to do that job.
We know that in the context of this stunt everyone is probably working together to make it happen, but that’s not what usually happens in a workplace. It often feels like the workers do everything, and the managers are shouting nonsense orders just because they can.
When You Leave Things for Tomorrow and Tomorrow Sneaks up on You
Some people are in a constant struggle between their present self and their tomorrow self. Their present self wants to binge-watch Bridgerton on Netflix, so what the heck, they’ll do that, and that important work presentation thing can wait until tomorrow morning. But then, out of nowhere, suddenly, against all odds, completely unexpectedly, tomorrow arrives! Well well well, goodness gracious, who could have predicted that? We are absolutely stunned.
That sly tomorrow, it always finds a way to sneak up on you. Well, tomorrow is now today, but today we started watching Modern Family again and that show has 11 seasons, so…
When You’re Not Sure What You’re Supposed to Do, so You Wing It
Why is it so embarrassing to ask people to repeat what they’ve just said when you don’t understand them? It doesn’t make sense if you think about it logically, but it still happens. This perfectly timed photo is like when our boss has already explained something to us three times and we’re embarrassed to admit we still don’t get it, so we just sort of wing it and hope for the best.
Sure, we could ask them again, but we don’t want them to think we’re stupid, so we’re gonna guess our way through it and possibly make things worse. Yeah, we hear it, that’s not very smart.
When You’re in the Ocean and You Feel Something Touch Your Leg
Did you know that there’s a name for the intense fear of deep bodies of water such as pools, lakes, seas, and oceans? That’s called thalassophobia, from the Greek words for fear (phobos) and sea (thalassa). We don’t know how common this phobia is, but we do know that a lot of people deeply dislike it when they’re inside any type of water and they suddenly feel something touch their leg.
This perfectly timed cheerleading photo is the perfect representation of what we look like when we feel something touching our leg in the water. “Was it a fish? Ew, was it a fish??”
When You Finally Become an Adult and Now You Have to Start Adulting
Remember when you were a kid, and all you wanted in life was to grow up fast and be an adult? And then you became an adult, and quickly realized that it was a trap, and that you had to work and pay taxes, and that everything costs money, and that you’re not entitled to take afternoon naps anymore? This is life now, you are an adult and you have to start adulting.
Those two cheerleaders on the bottom right represent young adults who just realized they have adult responsibilities now, and that even though they were expecting them, they weren’t really prepared for them.
Don’t Be a Male Cheerleader, They Said
Cheerleading is largely seen as a girly activity, and male cheerleaders often face a lot of prejudice from people who should just keep their opinion to themselves. “Don’t be a male cheerleader,” they say. “People will think you’re not straight,” they say. “You’ll never be able to touch a woman as long as you’re wearing that uniform,” they say. Well, this image proves that those opinionated people were all wrong, doesn’t it?
All jokes aside, we know that cheerleading is a serious activity and that every member of a squad should be professional and trust each other. Go team!
When You’re on a Diet but the Universe Is Testing You
People who have been on and off diets know the feeling. It’s Monday morning, and you start your diet confident that this time it’s gonna be different. You can feel it. You will get through this. You will succeed. You will thrive. You survive Monday. And Tuesday. Then on Wednesday, your roommate walks in with a giant loaf of freshly baked bread, and kindly asks you if you want some.
Oh, how you have missed carbs! Have carbs missed you? Probably not, but oh, how you have missed them. And you start wondering why you’re even doing this to yourself.
When You Have No Idea What You’re Doing, but You’re Kinda Killing It
Social media has made it really hard for people nowadays, because it seems like everyone is living their best life and they are fulfilled in their jobs and happy in their relationships, but one of the major secrets of adulthood, that few people are willing to admit, is that no one knows what they’re doing – it’s just that some people happen to be killing it regardless. We were inspired by this funny picture.
We have no clue what’s going on in this image, and chances are, if you ask this male cheerleader, he also wouldn’t be able to explain it. He’s still killing it, though.
When Things Are Going Well and Then Life Kicks You in the Face
Most days we’re like, “birth is a curse and existence is a prison” (that’s a quote from the NBC comedy series The Good Place, in case you aren’t familiar with it), but every now and then, we’re like, yeah, we can “embrace the pandemonium, find happiness in the unique insanity of being here, now” (that’s also a quote from The Good Place). The thing is, whenever we start to get too optimistic, something happens.
It’s like this perfectly timed picture. It seems like things are going well, and everything is going to work out fine for once, and then life does its thing and kicks us in the face.
That Moment When You Start to Question Your Life Decisions
Life gets busy, and most of the days, we can’t really think about the things that we’re doing. We go through the hours rushing from one priority to the next, and we often reach the end of the day feeling like we didn’t do enough, even though we barely had time to stop and take a deep breath. That’s not healthy, but sometimes, we’re afraid of the alternative. This cheerleader apparently understands us.
The face she’s making is us whenever we stop and think about how we ended up where we are now. We start to question all of our life decisions, and oh boy, that’s not fun.

Little-Known Facts That Shine a New Light on Charles and Camilla’s Marriage
There are many things the world wishes to know about King Charles III. And while there are certain things that the general public will never be able to understand about the British monarch, little snippets of information about his relationship with Camilla have come to light over the years. And these little-known facts prove that so much has happened behind the closed doors of Buckingham Palace that Charles and Camilla don’t want us to know – including, according to some, a secret son.
Charles’ First Girlfriend Introduced Him and Camilla
Over the years, there have been many different stories all related to how King Charles and his current wife really met. It’s often been noted that the couple first met at a polo match, where they bonded over their love of the sport and where Camilla disclosed a family connection to Charles (more on that later). However, this story has been disputed by the author of an authorized royal biography. Apparently, the real story is that Charles’ lover at the time introduced them!
Lucia Santa Cruz is largely regarded as King Charles’ first girlfriend, and she claims to have introduced Charles to Camilla when she lived in the same apartment block as Camilla.
Palace Staff Helped Keep Their Affair a Secret
Although other members of the royal family had previously made no secret of their lovers, Camilla and Charles decided to do things a little differently when they began their own affair. Over the course of their 30-year dalliance, they did everything they could to avoid detection. And while some of those closest to them suspected that something was amiss, Charles and Camilla reportedly outsmarted many of the people who worked in the palaces thanks to their decoys.
Apparently, Charles would instruct his valet to turn off the palace’s alarm system on the nights of their trysts. And the former prince even earned the nickname ” The Prince of Darkness” from Camilla’s staff when he left in darkness in the early morning hours.
Camilla Didn’t Want to Get Married Because She Was “holding Out for a King”
Although those who knew of their affair assumed that Prince Charles and Camilla were nothing more than an exciting and secretive fling, many have suggested that Camilla Parker-Bowles knew exactly what she wanted from her life. As all of her friends and peers married around her, Camilla decided to hold out. She knew that it was expected of her to marry “up,” and she didn’t want to settle for second best.
In fact, it’s been reported by a royal biographer that Camilla told those around her that she was “holding out for a king.” Of course, this wouldn’t be an easy journey.
Camilla’s Great Grandmother Had an Affair With Charles’ Great-Great Grandfather, King Edward VII
When the then-Prince Charles first met Camilla Parker Bowles in 1970, he assumed that their only connection was sharing a love of polo and hanging out in the same friendship circle. However, it turns out that their two families share an infamous connection – all thanks to Camilla’s maternal great-grandmother, Alice Keppel. That’s because Alice Keppel is known for being one of the long-term mistresses of Charles’ great-great-grandfather, King Edward VII.
Apparently, Camilla Parker-Bowles was aware of this connection, and she would often brag to her classmates about the fact that she was connected to the royal family. Little did she know that she would later follow in her great-grandmother’s footsteps.
Camilla and Andrew Got Engaged Unexpectedly While Charles Was Away in the Navy
King Charles puts on a strong face for the public, but it’s believed that he suffered great heartbreak when he was younger. Before Princess Diana came along, Charles and Camilla were the perfect (secret) couple. They were committed to each other, and Charles wanted to take the next step – but he knew that his family didn’t approve of her. He was also sent away in 1973 for seven months to work for the Royal Navy.
Although he intended to return home and resume his relationship with Camilla, he was shocked when it was announced that Camilla was engaged to Andrew Parker-Bowles just two months into his trip. Apparently, he was devastated.
Camilla’s Now-Husband Had Previously Almost Married Charles’ Sister, Princess Anne
Despite the fact that Charles and Camilla married different people, it’s noted that they continued their affair for many years. However, this wasn’t the only time when lines were blurred between them. Their complicated family tree even saw Camilla’s husband dating Charles’ sister, Princess Anne. In fact, Andrew Parker-Bowles dated Princess Anne for many years before Camilla came along, and their relationship was extremely serious. It’s reported that marriage was even on the cards.
Although Anne and Andrew later broke up, their connection was just another complication to add to King Charles and Camilla’s affair. Did these entanglements cause rifts between Charles and his personal relationships?
Andrew Parker-Bowles Had No Choice but to Marry Camilla
Despite the fact that their marriage was plagued with affairs on both sides, Camilla and Andrew Parker-Bowles were married for 22 years. However, it seems as though Andrew had no choice. When Camilla’s father had enough of waiting for his daughter’s boyfriend to pop the question (and perhaps had enough of her affair with the Prince), he went ahead and placed an engagement announcement in their chosen newspaper. As a result, Andrew felt forced into asking for her hand in marriage.
Although Camilla and Charles were already in love at this point, the royal family had made it clear that Charles was not allowed to marry Camilla. So, Camilla said yes to Andrew.
A Love Triangle Where No One Was Truly Faithful
News of Charles’ affair with Camilla Parker Bowles didn’t go down well with some members of the general public once Camilla married, but the press soon made it known that Camilla wasn’t the only one breaking the vows of her marriage. It later came to light that Camilla’s ex-husband Andrew Parker-Bowles had also been having an affair during their time together. In fact, he reportedly had many mistresses during their marriage of 22 years.
It’s believed that the military officer had his most intimate affair with Rosemary Pitman, a woman that he later married in 1996. They were together until she sadly passed away in 1996.
Princess Diana Called Camilla “the Rottweiler”
Today, Camilla holds many names and titles. Before the late Queen Elizabeth II passed away, she was known as Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Cornwall – and she was also known as the Duchess of Rothesay. And now that her husband is the king, Camilla is officially the Queen consort of the United Kingdom, a title bestowed upon her by her late mother-in-law. However, when Princess Diana was alive, she had another name.
According to reports, Diana called Camilla “the rottweiler” – and this was apparently one of her more polite nicknames for the woman she knew her husband was having an affair with.
Charles’ Secret Gift to Camilla Right Before His and Diana’s Wedding
When Prince Charles and Princess Diana got engaged, Diana hoped that her husband would stay committed to her and their marriage. However, it soon became clear to her that there was always going to be a third person in their marriage – especially when Prince Charles bought his mistress a gold bracelet ahead of their wedding. This bracelet was engraved with the initials “GF,” which was a nod to their secret love affair.
Throughout their secret relationship, Charles and Camilla referred to each other as “Gladys” and “Fred” to avoid suspicion. Sadly, Princess Diana saw this bracelet just weeks before she was due to walk down the aisle.
She Had No Choice but to Invite Camilla to Their Wedding
Charles eventually decided to put aside his love for Camilla Parker-Bowles and marry Princess Diana. And there’s no doubt about the fact that their wedding was an extravagant affair, with a guest list like no other. However, what many people couldn’t understand was why Camilla Parker-Bowles was in attendance. Surely Diana wouldn’t allow her new husband’s ex to overshadow their big moment? Unfortunately for Diana, she had no choice but to invite her.
At the time, Camilla’s husband, Andrew Parker-Bowles, was the Commanding Officer of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, which meant that he had a big part to play in the wedding. So Camilla had to be invited, too.
People Physically Attacked Camilla When the Public Learned of Charles’ and Diana’s Divorce
Although Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s marriage was tainted by rumored affairs on both sides, there was no denying the fact that the public took Diana’s side when their marriage came crumbling down. Diana had become known as the “People’s Princess,” and fans loved how down-to-earth she was. Because of this, they were extremely quick to blame Camilla Parker Bowles for wrecking the royals’ seemingly perfect marriage. Some even got physical with her.
When news of Camilla’s involvement in the royal divorce made its way into the public domain, fans even started throwing chunks of bread at her. From this, she knew she wasn’t popular.
The Brothers Were Still in Mourning When They Learned Their Dad and Camilla Were Officially Together
Princes William and Harry were extremely young when their mother passed away, but even they knew that their parent’s marriage wasn’t perfect. Although it’s not known whether they knew that their father was having an affair with Camilla, they were reportedly upset when they learned that their father was dating Camilla after their mother’s untimely death. While they wanted their dad to be happy, they were still in mourning for their mother.
It’s believed that the brother leaned on each other a lot during this time, and after talking it over, they decided to give Camilla a chance. So, they told their dad that they were willing to meet with her.
The Queen Didn’t Like Her
When Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles started secretly dating, Charles knew that he’d have to win his mother around. He wanted to marry her, but the late Queen Elizabeth II wasn’t impressed. She believed that Camilla was too “experienced” to marry into the royal family, and so she refused to give her son her blessing. And it’s been suggested that the Queen struggled to warm up to her after Diana’s death, too.
Although the Queen allowed Charles and Camilla to officially start dating after Diana’s passing, she initially refused to allow Camilla to attend royal functions or visit royal estates.
Charles Hired a PR Expert to Help Clean up Camilla’s Image
After struggling through a marriage that made him unhappy, Charles wanted a second chance with Camilla after his ex-wife’s death. He wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of his life with the woman he had been in love with for decades, and he knew that this wouldn’t come easy. So, he decided to put in the work – and he hired PR expert Mark Bolland to help him out.
With Mark’s help, he wanted to help clean up Camilla’s image and turn her into a woman that the British public would be proud to call their queen consort. Otherwise, he knew it wouldn’t work.
Camilla Almost Had to Cancel Their Wedding
When the public learned of Charles and Camilla Parker’s Bowles’ official relationship, there’s no doubt about the fact that opinions were divided. Some couldn’t ignore the affair that broke Princess Diana’s heart, while others could see that they were made for each other. But nevertheless, the world congratulated the couple when it was confirmed that they would marry on April 9, 2005. And although fans came out in their thousands to see them tie the knot, Camilla almost didn’t make it.
On the morning of her wedding, Camilla Parker-Bowles woke up with a bad case of sinusitis. She felt so ill that she almost canceled the whole day! Thankfully, her sister managed to convince her to get out of bed.
A Stressful First Meeting With Princes Harry and William
In an effort to win over the royal family as a whole, Camilla agreed to meet with Princes William and Harry. She wanted to prove that she was the right woman to date their father, and she wanted to prove that she was the right woman to one day become queen consort herself. Unfortunately, nobody knows exactly what happened during this first meeting – although many would have loved to have been a fly on the wall.
However, it has been noted that when Camilla finished up her conversation with William and Harry, she immediately went to the now-King Charles and told him, “I need a drink.”
She Decided to Meet With Prince Harry Alone the Next Time Around
Camilla knew that winning over the young princes would be hard, especially as they had both been so close to their mother. She didn’t put pressure on them, but she still wanted to form a connection with them. So, she opted to meet with Prince Harry a second time. It’s been reported that this second meeting went much better, as Harry was more chilled than his older brother during those earlier years.
It’s believed that Camilla took this second meeting as the olive branch both of them needed. And while they’re not too close today, it’s believed that the princes appreciate that their father is finally happy. But if a weary prediction by a famous figure becomes true, the royal family might not be happy forever – especially King Charles.
The Worrisome Prediction About King Charles
Although many wouldn’t associate the French astrologer and prophet Nostradamus with the royal family, one scholar believes that this iconic figure in history predicted disaster for King Charles. British author Mario Reading has claimed in his book that Nostradamus correctly predicted major events in history, including the 9/11 disaster and the rise of Hitler. And as Nostradamus lived during the 16th century, that’s pretty impressive. And that’s not all – he also predicted the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Mario Reading believes that Nostradamus predicted the late monarch’s passing in 2022, and that’s not the only thing that he predicted about the royal family. Charles was involved in another prediction, too.
“The People Will Force Out the King of the Islands”
Reading claims in his book that Nostradamus wrote, “Because they disapproved of his divorce/A man who later they considered unworthy/The people will force out the King of the islands/A man will replace him who never expected to be King.” Of course, this seems to correlate with King Charles’ affair and his subsequent divorce from Princess Diana. After this happened, a poll found that two-thirds of the British public deemed Charles unfit to rule the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
And while it’s fair to say that opinions have changed since then, there’s no doubt about the fact that Nostradamus did get something correct. After all, many Commonwealth countries have chosen to cut ties with the monarchy.
“A Man Will Replace Him Who Never Expected to Be King”
With Nostradamus’ prediction in their heads, many people can’t help but wonder if Prince Harry is the man who will “replace him who never expected to be King.” And while there are many people out there who believe that Harry would be a refreshing new take on the monarchy, there are others who don’t think he should be given the opportunity. And there’s even one man out there who believes that he should be considered ahead of Harry for the throne.
Although it’s long been thought that Prince Harry is King Charles’ second son, Simon Dorante-Day believes that Prince William is actually the second son. And he believes that he is the first.
Or Could the Prediction Be Referring to Charles and Camilla’s Love Child?
Simon Dorante-Day currently lives in Queensland, Australia, but he hasn’t always lived Down Under. The father of nine was actually born in the UK in 1966, and he was adopted by a loving family. And while his adoptive family will always have a special place in his heart, he believes that his biological parents are King Charles and Queen Camilla. Yes, he believes that he is their secret love child.
In fact, he has claimed that his “Camilla-style hair” and his “Windsor-like cheekbones and teeth” are proof enough that he’s their love child. But he also believes that he has other proof.
His Adoptive Parents Had Worked for the Royal Family
Simon knows that his story is an unusual one, but he wholeheartedly believes that he was put up for adoption by Camilla Shand when he was just eight months old. And he thinks that this was all thanks to his adoptive grandparents, Winifred and Ernest Bowlden. That’s because his adoptive grandparents were extremely close to the royal family during their working years, and they reportedly had direct contact with King Charles and Camilla.
His grandmother Winifred worked as a royal chef, while his grandfather served as a royal gardener for decades. This meant that they were privy to certain royal secrets – including the affair between Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles.
He Alleges His Grandmother Told Him the Truth
When Simon visited his grandparents during his early years, they would often share information with him about the royal family. They also disclosed secrets they heard throughout their years of service in the royal households, and it was during one of these conversations that Simon’s adoptive grandmother reportedly disclosed the identities of his biological parents. Winifred claimed that then-Prince Charles and Camilla were the ones who gave him up for adoption.
Simon stated that Winifred “didn’t just hint at it; she told me outright.” And she also reportedly stated that Camilla looked after Simon for the first eight months of his life before changing her mind about him.
He Says Camilla Initially Wanted to Keep Him
After doing his own research, Simon is now more convinced than ever that he is the secret love child of King Charles and Camilla. He believes that Camilla wanted to keep him but found the intense pressure and scrutiny surrounding her affair with Prince Charles to be too much to bear. And while she wanted to keep him a secret, she realized it would be too exhausting for the rest of her life.
His grandmother also told him that, by the time he was eight months old, he had become “too old” to hide and keep a secret. So, Camilla allegedly gave Simon to Winifred’s daughter, who had always wanted a child.
Simon Believes He Was Born a Year After Charles and Camilla’s Initial Meeting
In Simon’s eyes, the date of his birth and the date of Charles and Camilla’s love affair totally match up. According to his own research, he believes that Camilla and Charles first laid eyes on each other on 30 January 1965, when they both attended the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill. Although other reports refute these claims, he believes that this was the moment that they first fell in love with each other.
After that first meeting, Simon believes that Charles and Camilla grew closer and closer – to the point where they conceived a child. And Simon was born just one year after this initial meeting.
Simon Believes There Are No Photos of Camilla From the Time She Was Pregnant
Simon wholeheartedly believes that Camilla and Charles started dating in the summer of 1965, and it’s his opinion that he was conceived during that time. He also believes it’s suspicious that both Charles and Camilla seemingly disappeared shortly after his alleged conception. While 18-year-old Prince Charles was sent off on a royal tour of Australia for a few months, Camilla seemed to disappear from high society entirely. Was she afraid to show her bump?
Although Simon has tried to find photos of Camilla Shand during the time he believes her to have been pregnant, there is none. Plus, he has confessed that he remembers meeting Camilla during his younger years.
Simon Has Memories of Secret Meetings With Camilla
Simon believes that the date of his birth matches up with Charles and Camilla’s relationship, but that’s not the only thing that’s pointing him in the direction of his royal heritage. He also has memories of having secret meetings with a woman that looked just like Camilla, with royal guards and protection officers presiding over each meeting. He stated that his grandparents would take him to strange houses when he was younger to meet her.
At the time, he didn’t know or understand who the woman was. However, now that he’s older and has put the pieces together, he has convinced himself that he is meeting with his biological mother, Camilla.
Simon Believes He’s the Rightful Heir to the Throne
Although King Charles and Queen Camilla have been together – both officially and unofficially – for many decades now, they both had children with their former spouses and not with each other. This places Prince William as first in line to the throne. However, Simon believes that his existence was covered up by the royal family, and he believes that he is the rightful heir to the throne and the first son of King Charles.
Of course, his theory has come under fire over the years. And as people have questioned him, they’ve asked for proof. And that’s exactly why Simon has shared photos of his own children, to show his royal connection.
A Family Resemblance
Simon believes that the royal family forced him to undergo surgery when he was younger to change his appearance. But as his own children have not undergone the same surgery, he thinks that they are the ultimate proof of his royal connection. He’s shared many photos of his family online over the years, and he believes that his children bear an impressive and uncanny resemblance to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
From their nose shape to their smiles, he believes that his children look just like the woman he believes is their great-grandmother. And many of his followers couldn’t deny the resemblance, especially when they saw the next photo.
Sparking an Intense Reaction
In April 2021, Simon shared a new photo of his family online for his followers to admire. And it didn’t take long for his followers to zoom in on his son Liam on the left. As they looked at this photo, they were blown away and instantly bombarded the Australian with comments. Those who had been skeptical of his claims before were suddenly convinced, and they could finally see what he was trying to tell the world.
In their eyes, Liam was the spitting image of the late Queen when she was younger. And to make things easier for followers to see, one fan posted a comparison of the two of them.
A Viral Photo
After editing the photo slightly, one follower was able to create a direct comparison between Liam and the young queen. The colors were the same, their heads were facing the same direction, and they were both smiling. And with this direct comparison in front of them, many more followers were convinced. Their features looked identical, and there was no denying that the two people looked incredibly alike. Before too long, the picture went viral.
As more and more people learned of Simon’s claims, they all formed their own opinion. Some people believe that he’s the love child of King Charles and Camilla, while others claim he’s searching for publicity. So, what’s the truth?
Operation Parker Bowles
In the early days, Charles and Camilla had a secret relationship. But when Prince Charles and Princess Diana finally decided to separate in 1992, this opened up a new opportunity for the couple. However, the royal family knew that they couldn’t just introduce Camilla to the public as though nothing had happened. They needed to be smart about it, and they knew that they needed to come up with a foolproof plan.
They even came up with a codename for their plan; “Operation PB.” To those outside of the royal family, this would have meant nothing to them. But, of course, this stood for Operation Parker Bowles.
Camilla Has Some Famous Cousins
Queen Camilla has come a long way since she was Camilla Shand. And while some would say that her connection to the king is her greatest achievement to date, what some people don’t realize is the fact that she has some very famous cousins. For the most part, you can trace her ancestry back to 17th Century Canada – and this means that she’s connected to some very high-profile Canadians.
In fact, Camilla’s distant cousins include singers Madonna, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, and Justin Bieber. As if that wasn’t enough, she’s also reportedly related to the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau.
Camilla Is Scared of Flying and Refuses to Take Long Flights
As the former Duchess of Cornwall and the current Queen consort, it should come as no surprise to learn that Camilla has to travel often. Her place within the royal family means that she constantly has to attend royal events across the globe. And while she has the pleasure of traveling in style on the royal jet, that doesn’t make things easier for the woman who is terrified of flying.
Apparently, Camilla has put her foot down over the years. While she is willing to put her fear of flying aside for short-haul flights, she will make her husband take her place if the flight is too long.
Celebrities’ Strange Body Features We Never Knew About
Although we think of the glitz and glamour that surrounds Hollywood, no one is actually perfect. Even celebrities have flaws and unusual traits that make them seem more like us. From different colored eyes to strangely shaped fingers, these rare celebrity body features will remind you that we are all just human, and everyone has something that makes them unique.
Angelina Jolie’s Wobbly Knees
When Angelina Jolie wore this simple black gown to an award show, one thing truly stood out about her outfit, and it was the leg-bearing slit. However, eagle-eyed viewers noticed something particular about her knees.
People couldn’t help but notice how knobby Jolie’s knees were. While this isn’t something she can control, it’s nice to know that celebrities aren’t 100 percent perfect like the media makes us think.
Have You Ever Noticed Kate Bosworth’s Eye Colors?
Kate Bosworth is absolutely stunning, and there is no denying that. While people are always noticing her good looks, some have not noticed her unique eye color. One of her eyes is fully blue while the other is half brown.
This unique eye color is because of a rare condition called heterochromia. In Bosworth’s case, she only has partial heterochromia, which means her eye is only a different color in one section. It is usually totally harmless, but it makes her unique.
How Many Nipples Does Harry Styles Have?
Harry Styles might be a heartthrob, but one thing that makes him stand out is his two extra nipples. While hanging out with his friends on a boat, people noticed the young singer had some unique markings. The singer said he wasn’t embarrassed about having two extra nipples.
However, since this picture was taken, Styles has covered his torso in tattoos. When asked about them in an interview, Styles said, “I think I must have been a twin, but then the other one went away and left its nipples behind. I feel so free. I think you could safely say I’m not shy.” At least he embraces his uniqueness.
Pinkies Out!
In 1996, Denzel Washington was named “The Sexiest Man Alive” by People magazine. Aside from being devilishly handsome, he also has something wrong with his pinky that people usually never see.
While playing basketball when he was younger, Washington broke his pinky finger, and it now sits at a weird angle. We guess he can’t make a pinky promise with that hand without looking like a crooked man.
The Only Flaw Megan Fox Has
Megan Fox has to be one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood who never seems to age, but she actually does have one different thing about her. The stunning actress has an unusual finger that is something she hasn’t always felt confident about.
Her clubbed thumb is a hereditary condition known as Brachydactyly, which causes shortening of fingers due to small bones. No one can pull this off like Megan Fox, and a short thumb hasn’t hurt her career in any way.
Matthew Perry Didn’t Always Have A Short Middle Finger
You might not have noticed this when Chandler was waving his hands around all the time, but Matthew Perry is missing his middle fingertip. The Friends star lost his fingertip in an accident when he was a child.
Perry said he got his finger caught in a door, and he lost a section of his bone. As you can see, when he flips someone off, it’s not as powerful as his other middle finger. The next time you are rewatching Friends, remember to look out for his short finger.
Oprah’s Got A Funky Toe
While it might look like Oprah has an extra toe, the TV host actually has something very common called bunions. She seems to have a more severe case from years of wearing high heels.
These are very treatable and can be shaved off and surgically removed. They are usually caused by wearing high heels, and the toe shifts over time. It can be painful if it is not treated, and it’s highly recommended to stick to comfortable shoes.
David Bowie Had A Permanently Dilated Pupil
You might not have been staring deep into David Bowie’s eyes when he was alive, so you probably don’t know this fact about him. One of Bowie’s pupils was permanently dilated, making his eyes seems like they were two different colors, despite both being blue.
Bowie had this because he got into a fight as a child. He took a serious punch to the face, and it left him with a dilated pupil. Thankfully, it didn’t affect his vision, but it did give him a unique look that only enhanced his bold style and personality.
This Bond Girl Was Born With Six Fingers On Both Hands
The gorgeous Gemma Arterton is best known for being one of the Bond Girls, but a little-known fact about her is that she was actually born with six fingers on each hand.
Although she has five fingers on each hand now, when she was born, Arterton’s extra fingers were boneless, so the doctors tied them tightly, and they eventually fell off but left two tiny bumps on her hand. They are barely noticeable, and she doesn’t mind them.
Ashton Kutcher Has Webbed Toes
Ashton Kutcher has been one of the most desirable men in Hollywood for years now, but this might change your opinion of him. While he is usually wearing shoes on TV, the actor showed off his unique body feature on MTV once and whipped out his webbed toes.
Kutcher has Syndactyly, which is the technical term for webbed feet. He said he only realized his feet were different after seeing his friends without shoes. Kutcher said their toes were freer than his, and he struggled to wear flip-flops for a while.
Steven Tyler’s Got Some Funky Looking Toes
Better known as the Aerosmith frontman, Steven Tyler might be known for his unique fashions and performing style. Still, few people know that he suffers from a painful condition called Morton’s Neuroma. This is caused by an injury to the nerve between the toes, causing thickening and pain.
Tyler’s toes began to grow in a deformed way after too many concerts. He would perform high energetic numbers in shoes that were too tight, and his toes paid the ultimate price. It seems that he doesn’t care about covering up his strange feet.
There Is A Reason Seal Has All Those Scars On His Face
Fans of Seal have always wondered what caused all the scars on his face. The singer kept it a secret for a while, and we don’t blame him with the whole world prying into his business, but he eventually revealed what caused the markings.
The scars on his face were the result of a disease called Discoid Lupus Erythematosus. It is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the skin and causes butterfly rashes across the cheeks and the bridge of the nose. They have become part of Seal’s identity, and he learned to embrace them.
Elizabeth Taylor Never Needed False Eyelashes
Elizabeth Taylor was a legendary actress with a striking beauty that made everyone stop and stare. One thing that set her apart was her full set of natural eyelashes that looked like she was always wearing falsies. However, this was caused by a rare condition called distichiasis.
The genetic mutation causes an extra set of eyelashes to grow, making them appear fuller and longer. If the lashes don’t bother the eye, the mutation is harmless. Eyelashes can grow in the waterline, but it is not painful if that doesn’t happen.
Stephen Colbert Has Lopsided Ears
You might have been laughing too hard at Stephen Colbert’s jokes to notice that one of his ears is much different from the other. However, now that we see it, we can’t unsee that one of his ears sticks out at an odd angle.
Colbert has been deaf in one ear since he was just a child. He had to get surgery to repair his perforated eardrum, but it caused damage to his inner ear instead. It hasn’t affected his career much, as he’s learned to embrace it.
Have You Ever Wondered About Tina Fey’s Scar?
Tina Fey has been making people laugh for over a decade already, and people have always noticed she has a distinct scar on her face. For years, people have tried to figure out how she got it or what happened, but it wasn’t clear because Fey wouldn’t talk about it.
However, Fey eventually opened up and revealed that when she was a child, a stranger injured her face when she was in an alley by her house. That is all she would reveal because she didn’t feel like the public needed to know so much about her past.
John Stamos Has A Strange Belly Button
John Stamos is known for being the smooth-talking, devilishly handsome Uncle Jesse from Full House. However, one thing he didn’t show off on the show was his stomach because he actually has a very interesting-looking belly button.
As a child, Stamos had an umbilical hernia and had to get an operation to fix it. This condition causes a protrusion of fat or intestine when the abdominal wall opens. While it is a rare occurrence, he can pull off pretty much any kind of scar.
Joaquin Phoenix’s Cleft Lip
A well-groomed beard usually hides Joaquin Phoenix’s lips, but when he does shave his face clean, you can see that he has a distinct scar. This scar was a result of the cleft lip surgery he had as a child. This occurs when the baby’s upper lip doesn’t join together properly in the womb.
Having a cleft lip is actually very common and occurs in one out of every 700 babies. It is the most common birth defect in the United States, so the surgery to fix it wasn’t anything unheard of. Besides, as a character actor, a unique look sure doesn’t hurt.
Patricia Heaton Is Missing Her Belly Button
Patricia Heaton is best known for her role on Everybody Loves Raymond, but people don’t know that she barely has a belly button. After having her fourth child, Heaton had a tummy tuck, which removed her natural belly button.
While it was a small price to pay for having four healthy children, she was admittedly not happy with the results. If it bothered her that badly, she could always ask the doctor to reconstruct her belly button.
Victoria Justice Has A Super Long Tongue
Victoria Justice rose to fame in the 2000s on the show Zoey 101 and then on Victorious. We were all too focused on a young Ariana Grande to notice Justice actually had an extra-long tongue.
This isn’t caused by any condition; her tongue is just unusually long. She probably didn’t even realize it was this long until she would stick it out at paparazzi when she was younger.
Gigi Hadid Can Connect The Dots With Her Beauty Marks
Gigi Hadid might be known for her incredible modeling skills, but one thing people don’t notice is that she has some distinct markings on her stomach. As someone who often models lingerie and bathing suits, it was an insecurity she had to get over in her career.
Hadid used to be embarrassed to be seen in a two-piece, but eventually, she learned to love her moles, and a few more popped up as she got older. It’s good to see celebrities embracing their differences and learning to love what makes them unique.
Cassandra Naud’s Distinct Mark
Actress Cassandra Naud was born with a distinct birthmark under her left eye. She was ashamed of it for many years and didn’t like to be seen in public. She even considered having surgery to remove it.
Although she really wanted it gone when she was a child, Naud would be completely against that today. She now understands that it helps her stand out, especially in her field. She also knows that it wouldn’t be worth the risky surgery only to have a large scar in its place.
Jonah Hill’s Gnarly Scar That Reminds Him Of Something Important
You may not know this about Jonah Hill, but he has a pretty gnarly scar on his arm that he got when he was a teenager. He started causing trouble because his mom was battling cancer when he was 15, and one night he got in a car accident and nearly gave his parents a heart attack.
After that, Hill said he would never let his parents down again, and that he would be successful and make them proud. Every day when he looks at the scar he is reminded of how his life could have been like and it humbles him to know that he did something special.
Tyler Posey’s Jaw Was Not Always Like This
Tyler Posey is best known for his starring role in the MTV series Teen Wolf, and he has been on more than one Hollywood hottie list, and part of that is because of something he used to be embarrassed about.
Posey was born with a healthy, symmetrical jaw, but as he got older, his teeth grew in a certain way, the caused his jaw to become uneven. He eventually learned to live with it, and it stopped bothering him so much. Although he has a slight underbite, it doesn’t make him any less cute.
Daryl Hannah’s Peace Sign And A Half
You might be wondering why Daryl Hannah has one finger that is much smaller than the others–what on Earth caused the actress to only have half her index finger? Hannah wasn’t born this way. When she was a child, she got her finger stuck in a pulley of a well at her grandma’s house.
You probably wondered why you hadn’t noticed this when you see her on-screen. That’s because Hannah wears a prosthetic for on-screen jobs. She used to be self-conscious of her finger flaw, but as she learned to love herself, she stopped caring what people thought about it.
Forest Whittaker’s Droopy Eye
Forest Whittaker is known for many of his iconic roles in Hollywood, and one way people often recognize him is his droopy eye. This is caused by a condition called Ptosis. This refers to the falling or drooping of the upper eyelid.
Some critics say it gives him a “lazy, contemplative look,” and Whittaker thought about having surgery to fix it. But he wouldn’t get it done for cosmetic reasons; it actually could affect his eyesight eventually if it gets worse.
Andy Garcia Had His Twin Surgically Removed As A Baby
Actor Andy Garcia was born with an underdeveloped twin attached to his shoulder. This rare condition is known as Heteropagus twinning, which almost means Garcia ate his twin.
Well, not exactly. Heteropagus twinning happens when a well-formed twin has an incomplete twin attached. Shortly after he was born, Garcia had the softball-sized tissue removed from his shoulder, which left only a small scar.
Lebron James Has Practiced So Hard His Toes Shifted
Lebron James is, without a doubt, one of the best basketball players of all time. He is the image of strength and health, so you can imagine fans’ surprise when they first noticed his deformed feet. While vacationing in Europe with friends, James was photographed barefoot on the beach, causing quite a stir.
Although it is not confirmed how his toes got deformed, it’s most likely because of his intense training. As he is always landing on his feet and jumping around, his toes conditioned themselves to overlap. We hope it isn’t painful!
Max Scherzer’s Completely Different Eye Colors
The professional pitcher might be known for his curveballs, but one thing could distract the opposing team more than his quick throws. Max Scherzer has one light blue eye and one brown eye because of a condition called heterochromia.
The pitcher has always embraced his condition throughout his career because it gives him a look like no other. It was actually his claim to fame because his eyes are so distinctly different. Two of his fans actually dressed up as one brown eye and one blue eye to pay tribute to him once.
Slick Woods And Her Iconic Gap
Many celebrities in the past have gone through procedures to fix crooked or spaced-out teeth, but today, more people like model and actress Slick Woods are embracing their unique smiles. Woods has a condition called Diastema, which causes a bold space or gap between her two front teeth.
For a while, Slick was embarrassed by her gap, but she realized it set her apart from other people. When she accepted herself, she learned to love her gap as it helped her become a well-known model.
Moffy Gathorne-Hardy Changed The World Of Modeling With Her Unique Eye
Sharing the runway with the likes of Kate Moss and Cara Delevigne is a challenging task, but Moffy Gathorne-Hardy has blown the fashion world away with her unique beauty. Hardy suffers from a condition called strabismus, which people commonly refer to as “cross-eyes.”
Hardy said the term strabismus sounds too scientific like it affects more aspects of her life. She added that she has never seen it in those terms because she has pursued her dreams regardless of her unique eye.
Padma Lakshmi Has A 7-Inch Scar
The stunning Padma Lakshmi is best known for hosting Top Chef. The model and actress has an inspiring story of how she became so successful, and part of it is a serious car accident she was involved in.
The accident left Lakshmi with a seven-inch scar on her arm, and when she was younger, she used to be so self-conscious of the mark. However, after becoming a mother, she said she is proud of all of her scars.
Damon Wayans Was Born With A Cleft Foot
Damon Wayans has been making us laugh till our sides hurt for quite a while now, so we never had the chance to study his feet. Wayans was born with a cleft foot, which causes his feet to rotate internally at the ankle.
According to Wayans, this helped him with his middle child syndrome. He said his mom gave him extra attention because she felt guilty. Luckily, it doesn’t cause him pain anymore, and he received treatment that helped him learn to live with the condition.
Winnie Harlow’s Vitiligo Has Made Her A Huge Success
Winnie Harlow is a well-known model who got her start on America’s Next Top Model with her unique look. She has vitiligo, which causes the hair, skin, and nails to lose pigmentation.
On the show, she talked about how people would make fun of her for looking different when she was growing up, but she learned to love her uniqueness. It ended up making her a household name!
Sanaa Lathan Has A Clubbed Thumb
The Nappily Ever After star Sanaa Lathan has been hiding her hands because she has a different-looking thumb. For years, Lathan was so insecure about her clubbed thumb that she wouldn’t show it in pictures. However, she has since realized it’s not a big deal.
Lathan was born with her condition that caused an unusually short thumb with a wide nail bed. As you can see, she has learned to embrace the thing that once made her so insecure. It is crucial for people to love themselves, including their distinct physical features that are considered flaws.
La Östergren’s Body Is Mostly Legs
La Ostergren is a bodybuilder who is known for her extremely long legs. While she is only 5’8″, she looks like she could be six feet tall with her 3’5″ legs. When people see her, the first thing they notice is that she has the legs of a model.
Ostergren admitted that she actually struggled with body image for a while, but eventually realized how her long legs made her look beautiful. She made a career doing what she loves, and most of her Instagram comments are from people telling her that they wish they had her legs.
Shawn Marion Broke His Finger So Many Times That It Is Permanently Crooked
Former NBA star, Shawn Marion might owe his success in basketball to his pinky finger. Well, not exactly, but after breaking his pinky so many times, he has a permanent problem with how much he can actually move it.
Not only has he broken it, but he has also dislocated it many times, so he has a problem using it. However, that hasn’t seemed to affect his skills on the court because he was a legendary player regardless.
Tia Jonsson’s Hair Is Not Dyed White
Tia Johnson is an up-and-coming model in the industry who is redefining beauty standards. The blue-eyed beauty has a distinct white streak in her hair that looks like she dyed the front section of her hair, but it’s actually a form of vitiligo.
Johnson said she remembers pulling her hair back with butterfly clips when she was little and feeling brave. Her unique look sets her apart from everyone else in the modeling industry and has helped her land jobs for brands like Savage X Fenty.
Anastasiya Scheglova Mesmerizing Eyes Are Very Rare
There is no doubt that Anastasiya Scheglova was born to be a model with her mesmerizing looks, and one thing that sets her apart is her stunning eye color. The model has green eyes, which is rare because only two percent of the world has this eye color.
That’s right! If you have green eyes, then you have one of the rarest eye colors in the world. Luckily for Scheglova, her distinct red hair and green eyes have helped her in her career and made her more well-known.
Dominika Marková’s Eyes Are Not Photoshopped
The gorgeous Dominika Markova and her family have some of the most distinct eyes in the world, and it’s not photoshop. The former Miss Slovakia naturally has icy grey eyes that stand out against her completion and dark hair.
Dominika is not just a model, but she is also a successful makeup artist. While she loves to play around with different looks, nothing is more beautiful than her natural self because her eyes are so striking.
Evita Delmundo Has Embraced Her Beauty Marks
Born and raised in Malaysia, Evita Delmundo became a model who encourages other women to challenge beauty stereotypes. When she was young, the other kids in school didn’t want to be friends with her because of her moles, and she considered having them removed.
Delmundo learned to love herself and her beauty marks when she realized that there are so many different types of beauty in the world. She said it shouldn’t just be one type of face, look, or hair color that is considered beautiful.
Angelina Jolie’s Feet Have a Cult Following
Angelina Jolie is one of the most famous women in the world, and as such, people have opinions on just about everything about her. From her famous lips to her body shape to her hair, everything gets heavily scrutinized. And when footage of Jolie’s bare feet first surfaced, people were amazed by the fact that the 5ft 6 ½ actress’ shoe size is an impressive 9, which is considered on the larger end of the spectrum.
The average women’s shoe size in America is around 8.5, so Jolie’s feet aren’t that big in comparison!
Hilarious And Unexpected Celebrity Wardrobe Malfunctions
This article was originally published on Kueez
Although we think of celebrities as graceful and poised, their high fashion outfits sometimes turn against them at the most embarrassing moments. Unlike our wardrobe malfunctions, these outfit disasters were caught live on camera, and they have been living in our minds rent-free. From classic nip slips to dresses falling apart on stage, these are the most embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions that you won’t be able to stop laughing at.
1. Jennifer Lawrence Almost Lost More Than Just Her Balance
While Jennifer Lawrence might be an amazing actress, she is below average when it comes to walking. Wherever she goes, Lawrence somehow finds something to trip over, whether it’s accepting an Oscar or posing on the red carpet. During one of her numerous spills, her dress was not very forgiving.
While attending the Berlin premiere of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Lawrence nearly lost more than just her balance. As she was bending over to get her dress out of the way, she almost exposed herself, but managed to compose herself at the last minute to avoid any spillage.
2. Katherine Heigl’s Dress Decided It Didn’t Want To Stay Together On Stage
Have you ever had one of those dreams where you’re on stage in front of a crowd of people, and you realize you aren’t wearing clothes? Well, that almost became a reality for Katherine Heigl as she was accepting an award for “Female Star of the Year.”
Heigl’s dress wasn’t the only thing that turned red when the straps came loose in the middle of her acceptance speech. She held onto her top and struggled through the rest of her speech, but no one could blame her for forgetting a line here and there. Luckily, the presenters helped her keep her dress up until she was safely behind the curtains.
3. Paris Hilton’s Birthday Dress Had A Revealing Slit
Paris Hilton has no shame, so this wardrobe malfunction probably didn’t bother her. For her 33rd birthday, Hilton decided to show off her tanned legs with a pink dress that had a waist-high slit. Besides just her tan lines, she also showed off way more than even she had likely anticipated.
Hilton managed to keep some of her modesty, but the media speculated that she forgot to wear underwear on purpose. Does anyone expect anything else from Paris Hilton? She loves being the center of attention, and all eyes were definitely on her that night.
4. Lindsey Vonn’s Marilyn Monroe Gone Wrong
Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn looks stunning in almost everything she wears, and this blue floor-length gown was no exception. The breezy dress featured a thigh-high slit that showed off her toned legs but ended up giving her a lot of trouble while she was posing for pictures on the carpet.
Although we all want to have a Marilyn Monroe moment, this didn’t go as planned. When the wind started to pick up, the dress revealed her underwear, and she gave everyone a show. At least she remembered to wear nude underwear to match her skin, unlike some other people on this list.
5. Kourtney Kardashian Was Missing A Strap
When you are in the spotlight, all eyes are on you, and people notice everything. When Kourtney Kardashian and her sisters were headed to dinner in LA, Kourtney decided to wear an LBD with a sheer neckline. Although you would think the Kardashians have the most well-made clothing, her dress didn’t last through dinner.
One strap of the lining under the sheer top broke and exposed her heart-shaped covering. It still wasn’t the most embarrassing fashion moment for Kourtney, so she handled it pretty well. She had to keep her arm close to her body while walking back to the car so that she wouldn’t be exposed.
6. Jessica Alba Nearly Avoided A Dress Disaster
Jessica Alba’s face says it all. When something starts to go wrong with your clothing, it’s like it is happening in slow motion. It’s almost as if you can hear each thread tearing. While walking the red carpet, Jessica exposed her bra while adjusting her straps.
Luckily, nothing was exposed, but her face is priceless. See, stars are just like us; their straps fall down, and they have to wear bras too. However, she didn’t let a little bra strap slip up ruin her evening. Jessica probably laughed it off and continued to pose for the cameras.
7. Nicki Minaj’s Chest Didn’t Want To Stay In The Shirt
Nicki Minaj might be the queen of wardrobe malfunctions, as you will see in this list. We don’t know if she is wearing clothes that are too tight or the seams are not strong enough, but her clothes are always having problems. While she was backstage, Minaj uploaded a photo to her Instagram with Derek Jeter.
Before she posted the photo, she should have looked at it more carefully to see that she was showing a little more than just cleavage. Sometimes we over-analyze our photos for imperfections, but she should at least scan them for unwanted body parts before posting.
8. Nicky Hilton Didn’t Realize She Was Showing More Than Expected
Like her sister Paris, Nicky Hilton has also had her fair share of wardrobe malfunctions in front of cameras. When you’re rich and famous, showing off a cheek must be less embarrassing because the people laughing aren’t on your level.
When she put on this white dress, she didn’t practice walking up the steps because she didn’t realize the mesh panel would show off her buns. It seems like they are very low because of the dress, but we would like to believe that it is just the angle.
9. Kim Kardashian Gave The Paparazzi More Than They Expected
Kim Kardashian is always rocking the coolest outfits, but they are pretty risky. Most people question how she wears most of her clothing because it either looks like a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen or extremely uncomfortable.
When she stepped out of her vehicle in Miami, her wrap skirt showed off her famous Skims shapewear. Maybe she planned this to plug her company, or it was just a marketing coincidence. However, she walks around half-naked most of the time, so this was no big deal.
10. Gigi Hadid’s Slit Dress Needed Some Adjustments
Gigi Hadid has said that wardrobe malfunctions happen all the time on the runway, but she never mentioned how she feels when they happen on the streets. As she was walking to an event, her underwear became visible to the cameras.
Gigi had probably never worn this dress before, so she didn’t know how it would look when she walked. Most things look stunning on her, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be malfunctions. She probably practices walking in all her clothes now before going outside.
11. The Nip Slip That Broke The Internet
When we talk about celebrity wardrobe malfunctions, the first one that automatically comes to mind is Janet Jackson’s nip slip during the Super Bowl half-time show. During their performance, Jackson’s breast came out of her outfit for 140 million people to see.
Jackson has never commented on the situation since it happened, and why should she have to? It was just 9/16ths of a second, and her world came crashing down. Award shows rescinded invitations, and people thought she did it on purpose, but in hindsight, it was Justin Timberlake that pulled on the fabric in the first place.
12. Chrissy Teigan’s Dress Caused Her Trouble All Night
Chrissy Teigan is one of those celebrities who has no shame. She will post anything on social media because she keeps it real and doesn’t try to act like she is perfect all the time. Although she is open and pushes the boundaries on her social posts, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about this malfunction.
While attending an awards show, Chrissy’s dress with a slit up to her waist exposed her private parts, and she wasn’t wearing anything underneath it. We don’t know if she was mortified or immediately laughed it off, but we are going to guess it was the latter.
13. Emma Watson Dress Got Caught In A Gust Of Wind
When we think of Emma Watson, we think of someone who is poised, classy, and would never show her knickers in public. However, stuff happens, and the wind became public enemy number one yet again. Even when you wear long dresses, the wind can ruin your outfit.
While signing autographs for fans outside the premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the wind ruffled her dress and showed off her underwear. Unlike some celebrities, at least she was wearing some. Those fans got much more than they expected from the British actress.
14. Hayden Panettiere Forgot To Do A Flash Test
Whenever you wear a thin fabric, do you check to see how it looks in different lighting? Sometimes we check to see if it’s see-through in sunlight or if we bend over, but celebrities have more important tests; they need to see if it is flash-proof.
When Hayden Panettiere stepped onto the red carpet, the cameras started flashing, and she didn’t realize people could see right through the top of her dress. Luckily, she was wearing something to cover herself slightly, but she didn’t notice until the pictures were published.
15. Cardi B Had One Wardrobe Malfunction After Another
Cardi B is known for her energetic performances in wild outfits, and she never disappoints. However, during one of her shows, it seemed like she couldn’t catch a break. We have all had those days where everything seems to go wrong, but at least we didn’t experience it in front of a crowd of people.
While performing her top hits, Cardi’s bedazzle catsuit started to rip up the seam, and eventually, she had to go off stage to grab a robe for the rest of the song. When she was wearing the robe, that also fell down, exposing her bra. It was not a good night for Cardi.
16. Kourtney Kardashian Caught Her Wardrobe Malfunction And Posted It Anyway
Kourtney Kardashian and her sisters have had their fair share of clothing disasters, but we never thought they would post them on their Instagram pages. Kourtney took this adorable photo in a pink sequin mini dress and noticed her underwear was showing in the picture.
Instead of taking a new picture or cropping that part out, she put a pink heart emoji to cover herself up and posted it anyway. We have to admit that it is an adorable photo, and the heart is barely noticeable.
17. Nicki Minaj Had To Hold Her Dress Together On Stage
Once again, Nicki Minaj is having trouble with her wardrobe. She might want to get a better seamstress who will make sure her clothes stay together during performances. While performing with Jessie J and Ariana Grande, Nicki’s tight black dress split down the middle.
For the entire song, she was holding her dress together so she wouldn’t be practically naked on stage. It must have been hard to remember her verse while thinking about her dress falling apart. Nicki is a pro, so she handled it well and quickly got a new outfit once she left the stage.
18. Arta Dobroshi Did A Little Too Much Twirling
When you wear something flowy, doesn’t it make you want to twirl around like you’re running through a field of flowers? Maybe that was Arta Dobrashi’s first thought when she wore this breezy skirt at the Cannes Film Festival. It looks like she took the twirling too far and showed off a little too much for the camera.
Maybe she was feeling her Marilyn Monroe fantasy and forgot the photographers were watching. She doesn’t seem too phased by the amount of skin showing, but she probably had no idea until she saw the photos.
19. Jennifer Garner Showed Off Her Undergarments
We don’t know how Jennifer Garner is smiling while she is flashing her whole undergarment to the paparazzi, but Steve Carell must have said something beyond hilarious to keep her laughing. Our faces would be the color of a tomato in this situation.
She must have grabbed the corner of her dress as she was moving her bag out of the way and showed off her Spanx to the crowd. She has probably had plenty of embarrassing moments in front of the camera, so things like this don’t phase her anymore.
20. Keyshia Cole Danced So Hard Her Pants Ripped
Have you ever danced so hard that you rip your pants? It’s happened to the best of us, and it happens to performers as well. Keyshia Cole was performing on stage when her overalls ripped. Luckily she was wearing something underneath them to save the day.
Keyshia must have been doing an intense dance number to rip those, but she doesn’t seem to notice anyway. She is too into her performance to care about a tiny rip in her pants. Unless it gets bigger, it’s really not that big of a deal.
21. Sofia Vergara’s Dress Ripped On The Red Carpet
Although Sofia Vergara has never shied away from showing off her assets, she definitely did not expect this issue on the red carpet. Her gorgeous gown was already low cut in the back, but it got even lower once she started moving around.
The seam on her dress started to split, and it was exposing her backside. She laughed it off, and Ellen Degeneres even created a Halloween costume to commemorate that moment. Her assistant ended up sewing her into the dress so she wouldn’t walk around with her undergarments showing.
22. Chrissy Teigan’s Dress Made Some Unwanted Adjustments
Chrissy Teigan will really post anything on her Instagram page, even if she is exposing her own wardrobe malfunctions. While attending a gala, she wore a white dress that initially had a thigh-high slit. However, throughout the night, the slit continued to rip slowly.
By the end of the evening, Chrissy’s dress had an extra five inches added to the slit, and it was exposing more than she wanted. You can tell by her face that she is scared to move her hands, but she made a joke out of it when she posted the photo online.
23. Jessica Simpson Mooned The Audience
Flowy short dresses seem to be a common enemy for celebrities. While Jessica Simpson was performing on Good Morning America, her frilly dress got caught in a gust of wind, and she mooned the audience. Although she recovered, she decided to hold her dress down for the rest of the show.
We are surprised singers don’t prepare for possible wardrobe malfunctions like this by wearing more full coverage underwear or spandex. You would think that after a certain amount of shows, they would finally realize that wind and short dresses don’t go together.
24. Elizabeth Olsen Also Fell Victim To A Gust Of Wind
When you are wearing a short dress, gusts of wind are not your friend. If you see the forecast calls for wind, you should probably reconsider your outfit, so you don’t have the same problem as Elizabeth Olsen. However, some of us might not handle it as well as she did.
As she walked into an event, the cameras caught her dress fly up to reveal her undergarments. However, Olsen made a hilarious face and tried to hold her skirt down as much as possible. We can’t say that we would have been able to handle it just as gracefully.
25. Eva Longoria Forgot Her Fashion Tape And Flashed Her Chest
One wardrobe malfunction wasn’t enough for Eva Longoria. Low cut gowns are extremely tricky to perfect because fashion tape never does the job you want it to. Even celebrities struggle to find the right way to keep these dresses secure, and Longoria has yet to master it.
While walking the red carpet, Longoria’s dress revealed her chest, but the starlet took it with stride. After being on that many red carpets, you must learn to laugh these things off, or no one would be able to make it in that business.
26. Eva Longoria’s Jacket Popped Open
Eva Longoria is a classy woman, and her outfits usually reflect that. When she went on The Tonight Show with David Letterman, she wore a tuxedo jacket with nothing else underneath.
While Longoria was talking about her cookbook, the buttons on her jacket started to pop open. Maybe that’s how she really sells the books because David Letterman was having trouble staying focused on the guacamole recipe they were discussing.
27. Adrienne Bailon’s Ruffles Didn’t Leave Much To The Imagination
Sometimes wardrobe malfunctions aren’t always the most obvious things like a nip slip or having an undergarment show; sometimes, they are choosing the wrong thing to cover up your areas. Adrienne Bailon decided to wear this mesh dress that hugged her curvy body, which is likely why she added those ruffles.
She used a poorly placed giant ruffle to cover up her goods, and we are not loving this. It looked even stranger from the front, and she should have thought about this before walking the red carpet. It probably isn’t one of her favorite looks to think back on.
28. Mariah Carey’s Dress Was Not Cooperating
Throughout the course of her career, Mariah Carey has had a lot of wardrobe malfunctions, but nothing was quite as embarrassing as her moment on Good Morning America. While she was chatting with the host, they started talking about her beautiful gown. Meanwhile, the back of the dress split open.
The host cut to a commercial break so she could change. When they came back, Carey was wearing a new dress, and just as the cameras started to roll, she cursed on live TV because her dress started to fall apart again. Luckily someone swooped in to save her from complete humiliation.
29. Michelle Williams Must Have Forgotten Her Dress Had A High Slit
Celebrities have a whole team of people to get them ready for premiere events, so it makes us question how something like this could have happened. Maybe Michelle Williams was trying to preserve her modesty, or she forgot how high the slit was in her dress, but this is a strange look.
If her boy shorts were nude, it would have made the flow of the outfit better. Instead, she went with a black pair that were very noticeable. The dress was clearly meant to be worn with invisible underwear, but that must not be her vibe.
30. Selena Gomez Flashed Her Spanx To The Crowd
Selena Gomez loves to wear flowy dresses when she performs on stage. Even though she is donning a floor-length frock, she still jumps around, dances, and entertains her fans; however, these concert goers got more than they paid for when her dress started to shift as she jumped.
As Selena was getting into her song, she flashed her Spanx to the crowd. Luckily she was wearing something under the dress. Out of all the things that could happen, this isn’t the worst, but her fans definitely did not expect it.
31. Rumor Willis Had A Peek-A-Boo Moment
Rumor Willis loves to push the boundaries when she steps out onto the red carpet. However, she might want to look at her outfit from every angle next time. She must have run out of the house quickly so she would make it to the carpet on time.
It seems that Rumor forgot to check that her private parts didn’t show because she couldn’t wear underwear with this outfit. There is probably a better solution, but this is not the kind of malfunction you want to have with all those cameras flashing.
32. Gigi Hadid Handled Her Runway Nip Slip Well
When Gigi Hadid steps out on to the catwalk, it is like she is floating. The model makes every outfit look effortless, but that doesn’t mean each outfit will cooperate as she struts her stuff. As she closed the Versace show, Hadid’s dress started to slip off her chest, but the seasoned model handled it like a pro.
She continued to walk down the runway despite the malfunction. Hadid tweeted that malfunctions happen during every show, and she just ignores them. It must be part of the job to get used to clothes not cooperating when you need them to.
33. Harry Styles Showed That Men Can Also Have Nip Slips
Although nip slips are mainly associated with females, men can fall victim to them as well. As Harry Styles was headed to an SNL after-party, a fan kindly asked if he would stop for a picture. Being the nice person that he is, he agreed, and the fan got way more from the picture than she expected.
As he was posing for the photo, Styles’ loose button-down shirt slipped. Although this kind of situation would be more embarrassing for a woman, he didn’t seem to care that much. We are sure the fan was excited to see that in her picture that she probably has framed on her nightstand.
34. Cara Delevingne’s LBD Gave Her Some Major Troubles
Models are used to wearing clothing that shows off their bodies, but we don’t think that was the idea for this LBD that Cara Delevigne was rocking on the red carpet. Although this black fringe mini-dress is to die for, she probably wasn’t expecting to climb into a crowd of fans while wearing it.
Delevigne was just trying to be friendly with her fans, but her dress was not having it. She reached up to sign some autographs, and her dress exposed her backside. As a Victoria’s Secret model, it is nothing people haven’t seen before, but it was surely still embarrassing.
35. Lenny Kravitz Ripped His Pants
When it comes to rocking out, no one goes quite as hard as Lenny Kravitz. As a style icon, he is never afraid to take risks, but his clothes have reminded him that there are some limits to his funky fashions. While performing on his world tour in 2014, Kravitz gave fans a show they would never forget.
In the middle of his guitar solo, Kravitz squatted to get closer to fans, and his pants split open. It was at that moment that he probably regretted going commando. Now everyone knows what he is packing, and we will all remember to wear underwear with leather pants next time.
36. Sarah Hyland’s Undergarments Were Peeking Out
While having a bra strap showing or the band of spanx peaking out isn’t the worst thing in the world, it is level one on the wardrobe malfunctions scale. When you are walking the red carpet, you want your outfit to be perfect, but it doesn’t always happen like that.
While wearing a gorgeous gown with a cut-out on the carpet, Sarah Hyland’s Spanx started to show at the top of her waistband. It wasn’t a full wardrobe malfunction, but it definitely made some of the pictures worse.
37. Nicki Minaj Can’t Seem To Find Shirts That Fit
Nicki Minaj can’t seem to get her shirts to stay on her chest. We know the struggle of having to constantly pull things up, but when she is on stage, that is not an easy thing to do. While she was performing in a cropped bra top, it kept slipping lower and lower as she moved around the stage.
Before she knew it, her top was falling off, and she exposed herself to the crowd. When she is dancing and jumping around, she has to have the girls secured, but that is hard when you want to wear tiny tops for bigger chests.
38. Dakota Johnson Held Her Dress Together While Accepting An Award
As someone who rose to fame by starring in Fifty Shades of Grey, Dakota Johnson’s chest has been seen by most people around the world. However, when she was accepting an award, it was not the place or time she wanted to show off those parts of her body.
When she walked on stage to hug Leslie Mann and accept her award, something popped on the back of her dress, and she had to hold it together throughout her acceptance speech. The other ladies on stage also lent helping hands until she could get someone to fix it behind the scenes.
39. Camila Mendes Ripped Her Jeans And Blamed Her Brazilian Booty
For all the big booty girls out there, you can relate to the struggle of finding jeans that fit perfectly. Even the rich and famous have problems with denim, like Riverdale’s Camila Mendes. She was enjoying a fun day with her friends when she heard that heart-stopping ripping sound.
As she stood up, Camila’s jeans ripped on both sides right under her cheeks. Luckily, this look is in style, so people might think they were made like that. She posted the photo on Instagram to show her fans the struggles of having a big backside and wearing jeans. #relatable.
40. Chloe Grace Moretz Had A Hulk Moment While Signing Autographs
In Marvel movies, when Bruce Banner transforms into the Hulk, his clothes start to rip at all the seems, and he busts out of them as he transforms. We don’t think Chloe Grace Moretz was turning into the Hulk, but her clothes made it look like she wanted to.
While signing autographs, the seam of her jacket ripped, but she didn’t notice right away. Chloe has probably been hitting the gym more often, and her new muscles can’t be contained in the tight blazer. Let those guns breathe, Chloe!
41. Miley Cyrus Handles Her On-Stage Slip Like A Pro
Being on a stage in front of thousands of people with possibly millions more watching live on TV at home can sound like a daunting experience, maybe even a nightmare to some. Pop stars and other professionals, however, can handle it like just another day at the office. Performing at the NBC New Year’s show was another big night for Miley Cyrus, who brought out the big guns with her 2009 hit “Party in the U.S.A.” Towards the beginning of the song, though, her top came loose.
Being the professional that she is and a veteran of being on stage, Miley took the moment in stride and even made a little joke about it, adjusting some lyrics to make light of the situation. She’s a quick thinker and made a quick recovery.

The soulfulness in her voice hid so much pain in the young singer’s life. Winehouse abused alcohol and drugs during her short life to deal with her emotional pain.

Three days before she was scheduled at a 2012 pre-Grammy Awards party. Houston was last seen leaving the Beverly Hilton Hotel after a rehearsal.

Famous People and the Last Words They Said Before They Passed
This article was originally published on 24/7Mirror
The thing about celebrities is that we see them as more than just people. It’s not even about their riches – they’re larger than life, which makes them appear less like ordinary human beings with extraordinary talents and more like icons. And as icons, everything they do is marked forever in history – even their last words. Especially their last words, in fact. From the prophetic to the bitterly ironic, join us as we explore the most memorable and heartbreaking things celebs uttered before they passed.
Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse spent far too few years on this planet – a member of the notorious rock star “27 club” – but she crammed a lot of living into them. The Back to Black singer-songwriter was known for mixing different musical genres as much as she was known for her unique sense of style. Supremely talented though she was, her life was no fairytale – she struggled for years with both drinking and substance abuse.
In 2011, the former habit did her in. Her last words were spoken in a voicemail to her doctor, two hours prior – “I don’t want to die.”
Paul Walker
Paul Walker’s story is almost too heartbreaking to be real. He had literally been languishing in Hollywood for 15 years before finally getting his big break, portraying undercover cop Brian O’Conner in 2001’s The Fast and the Furious. Then, in 2013 and while still in his prime as a leading man, he tragically passed away aged 40 when a Porsche driven by his best friend crashed into a concrete lamppost, claiming both their lives.
His last words were overheard by an engineer at the typhoon charity event they were attending – “Hey, let’s go for a drive.” Walker perished doing what he loved.
Whitney Houston
We dare you to listen to I Will Always Love You, or any of Whitney Houston’s other hits, without getting goosebumps. While it was virtually impossible to overshadow such a career, she nearly did – with substance abuse issues and her abusive relationship with husband Bobby Brown. Her end was just as tragic – she drowned in the bathtub of her Beverly Hilton hotel room, aged 48, due to a combination of heart disease and illegal substances.
After performing the song Jesus Loves Me at a Hollywood nightspot the night prior, she told a friend, “I’m gonna go see Jesus. I want to see Jesus.” Hours later, she would.
Robin Williams
It’s bitterly ironic that Robin Williams, who brought laughter and joy to millions, ended up depressed and anxious. In fact, his presence was the only thing that stopped Superman actor Christopher Reeve from taking his own life in the wake of the accident that left him paralyzed. In 2014, tragically, Williams did just that, ending his own life at the far-too-young age of 63, a result of misdiagnosed dementia that caused him to suffer paranoia and depression.
His last words were spoken that very evening to his wife, Susan – after offering a foot massage, he told her, “Good night, my love.”
Heath Ledger
A far cry from his early pretty boy image, Heath Ledger proved to be more than a capable actor. For his final completed role, the Joker in The Dark Knight, Ledger won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar – the second to ever win a posthumous acting Academy Award and the first to win for a comic-book movie. The actor, who struggled with insomnia for years, was reportedly suffering from a respiratory illness in his final days.
Abusing medication prescribed to him for both problems led to his accidental passing, aged 28. His last words were to his sister, Katie – “It’ll be fine, I just need to get some sleep.”
David Bowie
David Bowie was, without a doubt, one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. His ability to constantly reinvent himself, and adopt new and trailblazing musical styles, helped him stay relevant throughout a decades’ long career. It’s only fitting, then, that his last words had to do with the impact of music on his life. Bowie passed in 2016, aged 69, after a long battle with liver cancer.
His longtime friend Gary Oldman recalled that in their final conversation, Bowie told him that music “has been my doorway of perception and the house that I live in.”
Walt Disney
First off, no, Walt Disney was never cryogenically frozen, certainly not seprately from the rest of his body. After his 1966 passing, as a result of lung cancer, he was cremated. However, that isn’t to say that the creator of Mickey, Donald, and the rest of those immortal characters didn’t leave a mystery behind at all. The animation pioneer’s last words, you see, were written down rather than spoken – and they were seriously cryptic.
Scrawled on a slip of paper, his last words said only “Kurt Russell.” To this day, it’s unknown why the then-child star’s name was on Disney’s mind – not even Russel himself knows.
Freddie Mercury
Freddie Mercury’s rise to international superstardom was an unlikely story as you’re ever likely to encounter in showbiz. A shy boy from Zanzibar archipelago in the Indian Ocean, he became the frontman of Queen – one of the world’s most successful and influential rock bands. His personal life was far less glamorous, sadly. Mercury had shown symptoms of the human immunodeficiency virus as early as 1982, despite his repeated public denials.
He succumbed to the disease in 1991, just one day after finally publicly admitting he’d contracted it. His last words were spoken to his partner Jim Hutton – “Pee pee,” as Mercury was too frail and needed help going to the bathroom.
John Lennon
We’re assuming that there’s no need to introduce John Lennon, co-lead vocalist, co-songwriter, and rhythm guitarist for a little band called the Beatles. Lennon was gunned down by deranged fan Mark David Chapman in the archway of the Dakota, the building where he lived with wife Yoko Ono. Famously, Lennon autographed a copy of one of his albums for Chapman mere hours earlier. The legendary singer’s last words are disputed.
After staggering into the Dakota, he reportedly told his doorman, “I’m shot.” He may have also later responded with a weak “Yeah” when a cop asked him whether he was really John Lennon.
Chris Farley
Chris Farley crushed it on Saturday Night Live for 100 episodes, before leaving to try and emulate his idol John Belushi and pursue a film career in Hollywood. This is where their paths diverged, unfortunately – while Belushi succeeded in becoming a star, if only for a short time, Farley’s career fizzled out. Tragically, they’d match on something else – both passed away aged 33 as a result of substance abuse.
Farley, who struggled with his weight and substance abuse issues for years, spent his last night with a call girl. “Please don’t leave me,” he pleaded. She stole his watch, took photos of him after he collapsed, and left.
Princess Diana
Diana Frances Spencer was only really famous for 16 years – from the beginning of her courtship with Prince Charles in 1980 until her untimely and tragic passing in 1997. That’s nothing by the Royal Family’s standards – her former mother-in-law’s been in the spotlight for nearly a century – but the “People’s Princess” had a knack for converting everyone she met into a fan. Ultimately, it was the world’s obsession with her that led to her end.
It was an end she met in a Paris tunnel, following a car crash, after being chased by paparazzi. According to the fireman who pulled her from the wreckage, the Princess of Wales’s final words were, “My God, what happened?”
Alfred Hitchcock
Despite having passed away more than 40 years ago at this point, Alfred Hitchcock is still a household name and one of history’s most influential filmmakers. Through both his films, like Psycho and The Birds, and his television show Alfred Hitchcock Presents, he chilled the blood of generations of fans. Fittingly, the Master of Suspense’s last words dealt with life’s final twist – what happens to us when it’s all over.
On his deathbed, Hitchcock reportedly waxed poetic, saying, “One never knows the ending. One has to die to know exactly what happens after death” – before finishing with a joke: “although Catholics have their hopes.”
Carrie Fisher
For all the grief the role caused her, Carrie Fisher will always be Princess Leia. She even returned to portray the iconic character in the latest Star Wars trilogy, appearing in the final film through the use of old, repurposed footage from the first two productions. Fisher, who struggled her entire life with bipolar disorder and substance abuse, passed away, aged 60, onboard a flight from London to Los Angeles.
Her final words were revealed in a note read by her brother Todd. It said, “I’m dead. How are you? I would call and tell you what it’s like, but there’s no reception up here.”
Michael Jackson
Arguably the greatest entertainer ever, Michael Jackson has more than earned his moniker of the King of Pop. Beyond all of his truly unimaginable success, though, seemed to hide a broken, hurt soul. It’s almost logical that such a larger-than-life figure would come to such an untimely, infuriating end. In 2009, aged only 50, Jackson suffered cardiac arrest as a result of medications administered by his personal physician, Conrad Murray.
A lethal combination of a powerful anesthetic and anti-anxiety medications were found in his system – administered, supposedly at Jackson’s own request. His final words, Murray claimed, were “More milk,” referring to the anesthetic, propofol, that took his life.
Steve Jobs
Sometimes, the concept of what a giant a person was in life acrimoniously clashes with their all-too-human, pained final moments. That was exactly the case with Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple, whose genius in both technology and marketing saw him shepherd the creation of products like the iPhone and iPad. Suffering from pancreatic cancer for which he refused conventional treatment, Jobs passed away aged 56, surrounded by loved ones.
His last words, according to his sister Mona, were “Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow.” It’s unknown what prompted them, but she said he looked at the faces of all those assembled there before speaking.
Kurt Cobain
It’s rare for someone to take their own life at the age of 27, and for everyone to agree that while tragic, it was far from shocking. This was the case for Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who did just that in 1994. Having suffered from debilitating stomach pains, depression, and substance abuse issues, Cobain finally found himself overwhelmed. His final words, in the form of a note he left, became infamous.
Addressed to his imaginary childhood friend Boddah, it described his mental state and thoughts about family and music. The note concluded with, “I don’t have the passion anymore, and so remember, it’s better to burn out than to fade away.”
Farrah Fawcett
It’s a terrible injustice that the passing of a bright, shining light such as Farrah Fawcett was almost glossed over. It’s understandable – Michael Jackson passed four hours later, completely dominating media attention – but it’s unfair. The star of Charlie’s Angels on TV and The Cannonball Run on the big screen, she served as an early template for strong, beautiful female characters. To the sorrow of her many fans, Fawcett ended up losing her valiant battle against cancer, aged 62.
Her final word, according to friend Mela Murphy, was “Redmond” – the name of her only son, who was in jail at the time for illicit substances offenses.
Kobe Bryant
A deeply polarizing figure in life, Kobe Bryant left a complex legacy. On the court, few were better – his 20-year Hall of Fame career saw him winning five NBA championships. Off the court, an assault case tarnished his image, costing him both fans and sponsorship deals. Nevertheless, in retirement he was said to be entirely devoted to his family, especially his second daughter Gianna, whose basketball games he frequently attended.
Heartbreakingly, they both lost their lives in a 2020 helicopter crash. Texting his agent from inside the helicopter moments prior, Bryant asked if the agent could help get a friend’s young daughter an internship – a selfless final act.
James Dean
Considering he only ever did three movies as a leading man, it’s incredible that James Dean still has a hold over popular imagination, even 65 years after his passing. Nevertheless, Dean is still a cultural icon, despite – or perhaps partly because of – losing his life at age 24, after a fatal car wreck. Dean, an amateur auto racer, was driving the 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder he bought only days prior near Cholame, California.
When a car making a left turn crossed their path, Dean reportedly told mechanic and passenger Rolf Wetherich, “That guy’s gotta stop. He’ll see us.” The cars collided, and Dean perished instantaneously.
Elvis Presley
The King of Rock-n-roll, for all his fame and fortune, ended up passing away while on the toilet. It’s sad, but true. Despite only being 42, Elvis suffered from a host of aliments, including diabetes, glaucoma, and constipation – likely worsened by prescription medication abuse. Then, in the very early hours of August 16, 1977, Elvis had trouble sleeping. Not wishing to disturb his beauty queen fiancee Ginger Alden, he said, “I’m going to the bathroom to read.”
That’s what he did. In the bathroom was where Alden found him when she woke up hours later, cold and unresponsive, the victim of a fatal heart attack.
Frank Sinatra
Here’s a crazy little trivia tidbit – when Frank Sinatra suffered two ultimately-fatal heart attacks and was rushed to the hospital on May 14, 1998, his ambulance made it there in record time because Seinfeld’s series finale was showing on TV at the time and the streets of Los Angeles were empty. One of the most successful entertainers of all-time, Sinatra enjoyed a long and fruitful career – and life.
Towards the end, though, he was battling various ailments. His wife, Barbara Marx, was at his bedside, urging him to fight despite it all. “I’m losing it,” was the 82-year-old’s reply – and final words.
John Wayne
A box office draw for three straight decades, John Wayne made the transition from silent films to “talkies” and became one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood history. The Duke, as he was nicknamed, starred in countless Westerns and war movies, and passed away on June 11, 1979, succumbing to cancer. He was surrounded by his loved ones, and spent his last days drifting in and out of consciousness.
When his daughter Aissa held his hand and asked him if he knew who she was, he replied, “Of course I know who you are. You’re my girl. I love you.” Those would be his last words.
Bob Marley
Sometimes, celebrities’ last words can be a little disappointing, if we’re being completely honest. When their time is almost up, many of them utter things no different than what we might have said. Not Bob Marley, though. No, the grandfather of reggae passed as he lived – as an icon. Marley was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a skin cancer that began in a toenail and spread to his lungs and brain.
He passed in 1981, having refused any conventional treatments, citing his Rastafarian religious beliefs. His last words were said to his son, Ziggy, and summed up his entire belief system – “Money can’t buy life.”
Coco Chanel
From the concept of the Little Black Dress to the iconic Chanel No. 5 perfume, Coco Chanel was behind some of the biggest lifestyle and fashion innovations of the 20th century. Spearheading the company that still bears her name, the French fashion icon singlehandedly transformed the concept of what a well-dressed woman looks like. It was only fitting, then, that such a woman would depart with last words befitting of her – direct, sophisticated, and witty.
At 87 years old, Chanel had just finished putting together her spring catalog. “See, this is how you die,” she reportedly told her maid, before passing away in bed.
Joe DiMaggio
Whether you knew him as the Yankee Clipper, Joltin’ Joe, or simply the guy name-dropped in Simon and Garfunkel’s Mrs. Robinson, Joe DiMaggio was a legend. Considered one of the greatest baseball players ever, his record-breaking 56-game hitting streak is considered untouchable. For all his accolades, though, one facet of DiMaggio’s life seemed to haunt him – Marilyn Monroe. The two were only married for nine months, but it was a bond DiMaggio held onto decades later.
Passing away in 1999, his last words – as reported by his lawyer and confidant Morris Engelberg – were, “At least I’ll be with Marilyn again.”
Marvin Gaye
Dubbed the “Prince of Motown,” Marvin Gaye shaped soul music in the ’60s. Then, very much still in his prime and a day shy of his 45th birthday, he was gunned down – by his own father. Having suffered from paranoia and depression, worsened by substance abuse, he moved back in with his parents. On April 1, 1984, he inserted himself into an argument his parents had, eventually “brutally kicking” his father.
“I’m going to get my things and get out of this house,” he then told his mother. “Father hates me and I’m never coming back.” Moments later, his father returned to the room and fatally shot him.
John F. Kennedy
We won’t go into the million conspiracy theories surrounding his assassination, because then we’ll be here all day, so let’s stick to facts. On November 22, 1963, President John Kennedy was visiting Texas to smooth over tensions between warring factions of his party there. That particular day, he was traveling through Dallas in a motorcade with his wife Jacqueline, the governor of Texas John Connally, and his own wife Nellie.
Reportedly, after taking in the crowd Nellie turned to Kennedy, and said, “You certainly can’t say the people of Dallas haven’t given you a nice welcome.” Kennedy replied, “No, I certainly can’t,” moments before the first shot.
Lucille Ball
It’s been so long now – both since her 1989 passing and her television heyday – but Lucille Ball’s impact will never be forgotten. She not only starred in the groundbreaking I Love Lucy, which achieved many firsts in American TV, but was also the first female head of a television production company, Desilu Productions, which created shows like Star Trek and Mission: Impossible. In 1989, a 77-year-old Ball underwent surgery to repair her aorta, damaged after an aortic aneurysm.
The surgery was a success, and when she was recovering she was asked if she wanted something. Her reply, and last words, was, “My Florida water,” referring to a perfume.
Hugh Hefner
Whatever anyone might think of him, magazine publisher Hugh Hefner lived a long and successful life. Founding and acting as editor-in-chief for a certain adult publication with an unmistakable bunny logo, Hefner built an empire that’s still going strong today. Hef lived to the ripe old age of 91, before passing away in 2017 due to sepsis caused by a viral infection that left him bedridden for the final weeks of his life.
In his final interview, he said, “It’s nice to look back on very sweet moments. I just think I’m very, very blessed.” He was interred, incidentally, in a crypt beside Marilyn Monroe – the cover girl for his magazine’s first issue.
Charlie Chaplin
Much like his legendary cinematic alter ego “The Tramp,” Charlie Chaplin also came from abject poverty. Unlike his big screen counterpart, however, Chaplin escaped it – and became one of the world’s most successful and influential movie stars. The film legend passed away in 1977, aged 88, after suffering a stroke in his sleep at his home in Switzerland. Shortly before that, a priest visited him to administer last rites.
As the priest recited, “May the Lord have mercy on your soul,” Chaplin interrupted him by saying, “Why not? After all, it belongs to Him.” A true performer to the very end.
Ernest Hemmingway
The author of such timeless literary classics as A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea, Ernest Hemingway was a haunted man, who was apparently both depressed and paranoid. Towards the end of his life, he was committed to a mental health facility and even received electroshock therapy, but it was all ultimately in vain. The Nobel Prize winner decided it was time to end it all.
Aged 61 and a rugged individualist to the very end, Hemingway reportedly told his wife Mary, “Good night, my kitten,” before using one of the weapons he used to hunt with to take his own life.
Humphrey Bogart
Humphrey Bogart was one of the biggest stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age, starring in such classics as The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca. Even today, more than half a century after his passing, his rugged, angular features are recognizable to film buffs everywhere. Bogart was married four times, but it seems his fourth and final wife, Lauren Bacall, was the true love of his life – despite being 25 years his junior.
In 1957, before Bogart succumbed to esophageal cancer, Bacall reportedly left his side to pick up their children from school. His final words to her were, “Goodbye, kid. Hurry back.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. was perhaps the single most important figure in the civil rights struggles of the 1960s. The 1963 March on Washington, which he helped organize, was the setting for his legendary “I Have a Dream” speech, which still reverberates with meaning today. Unsurprisingly, many people were unhappy with the message of equality King was preaching. One of them, James Earl Ray, assassinated King in 1967 when he was staying at a Memphis motel.
His final words were spoken to musician Ben Branch, set to play at an event later that night. They were, “Make sure you play ‘Take My Hand, Precious Lord’” – King’s favorite gospel song.
Groucho Marx
With a long and illustrious career in entertainment spanning a mind-boggling seven decades, Julius Henry “Groucho” Marx was nothing if not quotable. In fact, the father of such aphorisms as “I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member,” he often found himself credited for things he never said! It seems strangely appropriate, then, that there’s some controversy regarding what exactly were his last words.
Before passing away in 1977, aged 86, Marx reportedly told his wife, “Die, my dear? Why, that’s the last thing I’ll do!” Alternatively, he may have said, “This is no way to live!” instead.
James Brown
James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, was not only the innovator behind funk music but also influenced the development of several other music genres. On top of that, he was one of the members of the inaugural class enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when it was founded in 1986. On top of that, he had an unforgettable role in The Blues Brothers, portraying Reverend Cleophus James.
In the early hours of Christmas Day, 2006, Brown succumbed to congestive heart failure, aged 73. According to longtime manager Charles Bobbit, he said, “I’m going away tonight,” took three long breaths, and fell asleep, never to awake again.
Celebs Who Live Strict Monk Lifestyles and Avoid Our Favorite Vices
This article was originally published on VisualChase
Celebs certainly have the money and the access to life’s greatest pleasures, and we’ve seen many entertainers get lost in vice. But what about those who walk the straight line? You might be surprised to learn that some very famous faces are saying no to our favorite guilty pleasures. Whether it’s lust, illegal substances, or gluttony, we are surprised to learn that not everyone is taking a walk on the wild side. Which celebrities are secretly square?

Adriana Lima Saved Herself for Marriage
A long-time Victoria’s Secret Angel, Adriana Lima is one of the sultriest women around. She’s inspired millions to go out and buy tiny little bras and panties, and we all know why those are worn. But her own personal life turned out to be different than her on-stage persona. When the Brazilian bombshell was dating her many suitors, she gave them the bad news. She wasn’t going to go all the way until the wedding!
Adriana explained: “They have to respect that this is my choice. If there’s no respect, that means they don’t want me.” So, did anyone sign up for this? The devout catholic married basketball player Marko Jarić at the age of 29. Seems so!
Tom Brady Doesn’t Dare Touch Cheeseburgers
Staying in shape is challenging for all of us. We try, we fail, and we try again. But it’s a priority, not an option for professional athletes, and they don’t cut corners. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has banned one of our favorite vices from his life. The man doesn’t eat cheeseburgers! According to Tom: “I don’t believe you could be a 39-year-old quarterback in the NFL and eat cheeseburgers every day. I want to be able to do what I love to do for a long time.”
Sounds pretty extreme to fast food lovers. No cheeseburgers, ever? Sadly no, for this all-star. But we all must admit, there’s usually a food coma after a trip to Mickey D’s. Tom really can’t risk it!
50 Cent Doesn’t Actually Drink Like He Would Want Us To Think
This one is going to surprise a lot of fans out there. We know you have been under the impression that 50 Cent has been in da club all this time, poppin’ bottles. That isn’t untrue. But he’s been untrue about what he does there. Would you believe that he quit alcohol? After a bad experience when he was younger, he permanently stayed away from the stuff. The man even has his own vodka brand, which really fooled us. How does he avoid it?
50 Cent has a secret way to stay sober while he is out on the town. He explains: “First I’ll pour drinks from a bottle of champagne for everyone who is in VIP with me. When the bottle is empty, I’ll give it to one of my guys and have him quietly refill it with ginger ale…For the rest of the night I’ll have that bottle in my hand. I’ll take swigs every now and then just to keep the vibe right, but I’m not drinking anything but Canada Dry.”
Julianne Hough Was a Virgin the Entire Time
Julianne Hough is a dancer, an actress, and a singer. And up until recently, she was also a virgin! The two-time champion of Dancing with the Stars let it be known that she planned to wait till marriage to do the deed. Julianne shared: “I want to be with that special person. I think [the choice] to have sex before marriage is an individual one, but if you’re just with one person, it’s only for one good reason, and [waiting to have sex] will strengthen that relationship. I’m not trying to preach consequences here, but I think when you say no, down the line it will be a better decision.”
In 2017, she did get married. The lucky man? NHL hockey star Brooks Laich. although their marriage ended in 2020, it’s safe to say that Julianne did do the dance. You know, the dance.
Kris Jenner Never Indulges the Sin of Sloth
Kris Jenner doesn’t sleep. Well, maybe a little bit. But seriously, she doesn’t sleep in and lay around in her bed like a lazy log, like all of us. According to Kris: “I’ll get up at 4:30 or five in the morning and have coffee, check my emails real quick, hop on the treadmill, turn on the news, get caught up with what is going on. So I feel like I’ve done my cardio, I’m prepared mentally, emotionally, and physically to go and tackle a day.”
Kris says she thinks routines are important for people, and she includes herself in that category. But what about beauty sleep? We think that’s important, too. Somehow, she never has any under-eye bags!
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow Never Eats Kalamari
We all know that Gwyneth Paltrow has become a bit of an oddball. Her independent ways extend to food, in fact. According to the Goopster: “I’ve pretty much become more of an omnivore. So there are just a few things that I won’t eat…I don’t eat octopus because they’re super smart. One night I got on this, like, I went down an internet [sic] hole on octopus and how smart they are so I had to stop eating them.”
That’s right everyone. If you’ve been eating tentacles, this might all be news to you. Just know that if Gwyneth joins you for sushi, she’s not going to take a bite.
Olympian Lolo Jones Is Saving Herself for the Right One
Lolo Jones is an American hurdler and bobsledder, and she’s done well in both sports. With national titles and gold medals at the Olympics, it’s safe to say that this girl knows what she wants. That goes for her love life, too! Lolo decided to be a virgin until she says her vows. But admittedly, she’s has a hard time with it. Especially around all those other muscly athletes, we suspect!
Lolo explained: “If there’s virgins out there, I just want to let them know, it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. Harder than training for the Olympics, harder than graduating from college, has been to stay a virgin before marriage.”
Supermodel Naomi Campbell Doesn’t Drink This
Naomi Campbell is around top-shelf liquor all the time. But believe it or not, she hates it all. Naomi shared: “I choose not to drink today in my life because I find that I’m allergic to alcohol. I have more energy and I have more fun than when I was drinking and I can hang out really late and get up early in the morning with no hangovers and still smile.”
When it comes to liquids, Naomi is actually more of a tea drinker. The model says she has one cup of green tea a day, at most. After that, she likes herbal teas.
Dave Chappelle Is Not Going to Even Try Your Pork Chop
Comedian Dave Chappelle converted to Islam at age 17. Back in the day, he used to chat with a Muslim pizza worker in his neighborhood. Dave recalls: “I would ask him questions about his religion and the guy was so passionate about it, it was very compelling. I liked the perspective of [Islam] and I think these things informed my decision: that I wanted to have a meaningful life, a spiritual life.”
The practical implication of that decision is that he doesn’t eat pork anymore. That’s right, no bacon, no wieners, and no pepperoni. It’s all off the table for our favorite funnyman.
Kristen Stewart Swears Off Social Media in an Age of Addiction
Ever since Twilight, actress Kristen Stewart has been In the limelight. Cameras follow her everywhere, whether she wants them or not. Maybe that’s why she swore off selfies in her personal life. It’s rare in Hollywood, but Kristen avoids all social media. It’s actually a major source of income for celebrities, as they endorse products. But Kristen doesn’t care about those benefits. She explains it simply: “I just don’t need it.”
Whether she’s off doing an indie flick somewhere or filming the big Diana biopic, Kristen is probably busy enough. SHe’s not going to post a picture of her lunch or her butt just for you. Sorry, everyone!
Tamera Mowry Tried Copulating Once but Then Gave It up
Sister Sister star Tamera Mowry is one half the real-life duo we loved in the ’90s. She’s also a married lady now, and she loves to share mom-tastic adventures on social media. As a devoted Christian, she also shares life lessons with fans. As a religious person in Hollywood, some might wonder: Did Tam actually wait until marriage for intimacy? As it turns out, no. Then, yes!
According to the actress: “I don’t know how to explain this. I’m religious, so I waited until I was 29 to lose my virginity. You may not understand this [but] I did it, then I felt guilty, then I became celibate until I got married.”
Singer Ellie Goulding Won’t Smoke Anymore
Ellie Goulding is the pop princess of the UK, and she intends to stay that way. Although she says her mom actually taught her how to smoke, she has sworn off tobacco in recent years. The reason is obvious: She’s a professional singer! The smoke break has done wonders for her vocal cords. And even though the habit was fun, belting out notes is what her job is all about.
It’s not an easy hobby to get rid of, as many will testify. These days, Ellie has other outlets for her bad side. She explains: “My guiltiest pleasure is…chocolates with strawberry cream and trashy television.”
Megan Fox Bans Bread From Her Life
Perfection might be a little strong, but we’re in the ballpark when we’re talking about Megan Fox. How does the actress stay so slim, year after year? There’s a hack for that. Megan offers a clue to her admirers: “I cut out all bread and those sort of carbohydrates. No crackers, no pretzels, no chips. Nothing unhealthy. The worst thing I put in my body is coffee, once a day.”
No crackers, no chips. No bread, whatsoever, neither brown nor white. To recap: All you need to do is give up carbs, and joy itself. We understand the trick, Megan.
Adele Smacks Away the Sweet Tea You’re Trying to Hand Her
Her voice was like no one else. Her body seemed to get just as much attention. Adele was admired by larger women everywhere for showing off an uncommon figure in the biz. But recently, she surprised everyone and lost a lot of weight. How did she do it? According to Adele: “I used to drink ten cups a day with two sugars in each so was on 20 sugars a day. Now I don’t drink it and have more energy than ever.”
Ah yes, the old sugar addiction. We know it well. Many dieters have reported quick results when they cut out the sweets. Nowadays, Adele just drinks green tea. In between workouts, that is!
Prince William Never Eats Any Delicious Shellfish
Being a royal might seem like it is full of privileges, and it is. We’re not going to lie! But the truth is, there are also just as many obligations that come with the job, and that sometimes affects their fun. Prince William, along with the rest of his clan is supposed to avoid eating any shellfish. That means lobster, oyster, prawn, and crab. Clam chowder, too. The question is, why?
The ban on fruits of the sea is due to an old palace rule. Seafood is the cause of food poisoning just a little too often. Quite simply, the heirs must be protected. And you can’t leave a state function to spend all night in the bathroom, either!
Robert Downey Jr. Doesn’t Touch a Drink Nowadays
Notorious party boy Robert Downey Jr. has had a reputation for decades in Hollywood. He’s always been known for his addiction struggles, and fans felt for him. But recently, he’s been doing incredibly well in his career as Iron Man in the Marvel movies. We are not surprised to tell you that this coincides with his sobriety. Since 2003, Rob hasn’t touched alcohol! How has he achieved this big step?
It’s all philosophy, according to the actor: “I think that the power is the principle. The principle of moving forward, as though you have the confidence to move forward, eventually gives you confidence when you look back and see what you’ve done.”
Prince Amukamara Was a Total Virgin in the NFL
Prince Amukamara is an American football cornerback. He played for the Giants, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Chicago Bears, the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Arizona Cardinals. That’s impressive enough. But when you look into his personal life, you will quickly find out that he had a lot of discipline off the field, too. While engaged, he explained: “Some people call me the Black Tim Tebow. Yeah, I am a virgin. I’m not ashamed to say that.”
He just might be! And now, he’s also a married man to the lovely Pilar Davis. It’s safe to say he isn’t waiting anymore: Recently he became a father to Princess Paisley Amarachi Amukamara. That’s her legal name!
Beyoncé Doesn’t Eat the Entire Category of Fried Food
Although Beyoncé claims she takes her lover out to Red Lobster, she doesn’t allow fried foods in her own home. There are no chips in her pantry, and she doesn’t snack on french fries in between sets. If you’ve ever looked at the mom of three, that shouldn’t be much of a surprise. She’s in tip-top shape and stays that way no matter many babies she births. What is her one guilty pleasure?
A relatable one, according to Bey: “I always treat myself to one meal on Sundays when I can have whatever I want. Usually, it’s pizza, which is my favorite indulgence.”
The Late Designer Karl Lagerfeld Eschewed All Hot Drinks
Karl Lagerfeld was an eccentric man, to be sure. But oddly, his favorite drink was quite common. He preferred Diet Coke above all when he was looking for a fix. What’s more, he hated all hot options. Karl shared: “I never drink anything hot; I don’t like hot drinks, very strange. I drink Diet Coke from the minute I get up to the minute I go to bed. I can even drink it in the middle of the night, and I can sleep. I don’t drink coffee, I don’t drink tea, I drink nothing else.”
That’s wild stuff, Karl. We’ve never quite met anyone who avoided an entire category like that. But hey, when you are the head creative director for Chanel, people will let you say whatever you want. Even coffee lovers!
Hip Hop Icon Russell Simmons Avoids Animal Sourced Foods
Russell Simmons has gone vegan. Why vegan? He explained: “I began my journey to a vegan lifestyle back in the mid-’90s. My friend, the great photographer Glen E. Friedman, had been pestering me to watch Diet for a New America for years…I finally gave in and watched it. When I saw all the middle-aged men dropping dead after eating a hamburger, I saw my future. When I saw how the animals were being abused, and how factory farming was destroying the environment, I felt sick to my stomach.”
It’s not just him. A growing number of artists in hip hop are trying out the diet. It’s not clear if it’s a short-term trend or a long-term change, but Russell was an early adopter.
Leelee Sobieski Was Almost a Real Life ‘Never Been Kissed’
Actress Leelee Sobieski achieved fame in her teens in movies we actually still love. From Joy Ride to The Glass House, she impressed audiences with her serious cinematic talents. Then, there was Never Been Kissed. That was charming! As it turns out, there was something that Leelee had never done at that point. And that would be nothing below the belt! Who would have guessed that her real personal life was so close to the script?
When she got married, that obviously changed. But what was her reasoning? Leelee explained: “I guess 26 is kind of old to lose your virginity, but it was important to me that I remained a virgin until after I was married. It wasn’t for any religious reasons or anything like that, but simply because, to me, my virginity was the most precious gift that I could ever give to a man, and I wanted to be sure I was giving it to the right man.”
Top Model Rosie Huntington-Whitely Never Goes Tanning
We’ve all noticed that Rosie Huntington-Whitely is a pale princess. That’s because the Victoria’s Secret Angel intentionally stays away from rays. According to Rosie: “I’m English, so I love to get some sun and love a bit of tanned skin, but I can see it now the older the get after I come back from holiday, I can see the effects it has on my skin and it’s not so good after the tan fades. So just choosing those times really carefully when you do want to be exposed to the sun, and making sure you are wearing SPF everyday, and a hat and sunglasses.”
Flawless skin is not optional when you’re a supermodel. It’s a job requirement! SPF is key to look younger, longer. According to this gal, we should just stick with the spray tan.
Kourtney Kardashian Avoids Sugar Like the Plague
Kourtney Kardashian seems like she is naturally thin. But is she? According to the mom of three: “I always try to avoid sugar — especially refined sugar — for so many reasons. First, sugar is addictive and I notice that after I eat it, I need it. Sugar doesn’t sustain you when you actually need energy, like for a workout. Also, when I eat sugar, I find that more cellulite appears. I don’t drink soda — ever! I drink a ton of water during the day and I also drink a glass of water mixed with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar twice a day (in the morning and at night).”
False energy and weight gain is no way to live, says Kourtney. The truth is, most people probably agree. But that’s in theory. It’s just so hard to say no!
Blink 182’s Travis Barker No Longer Smokes Anything
Travis Barker is a highly recognized drummer. For some of us, he is the only one we know by name! Even though he was associated with a popular teen rock group, Travis had quite a personality and a reputation by himself. Part of his persona was partying and smoking, and it caught up with him in 2012. Travis was diagnosed with six ulcers and a pre-cancerous esophagus. Scary stuff!
After an emergency tonsillectomy, he made a vow not to mess around with his health ever again. According to Travis: “I love being a dad and I love playing music. I’m not trying to give up any of that.”
Tim Tebow Kept His Football to Himself Until His Wedding Day
Many were surprised to learn that there was a professional athlete promoting virginity. But NFL man Tim Tebow practically made hid V-card his calling card, in the early 2000s. A devout Christian, he had no plans to engage in carnal acts until he met Mrs. Right. Who would she be? Tim explained: “Of course I want a woman who I’m attracted to…That’s a very big part of it. But I’m looking for someone who loves Jesus and loves people. Someone who makes me want to be a better person for her. And she has to want kids and has to want to adopt. That’s a requirement.”
We get it. He wanted a gorgeous woman who shared his mission. Tim found his lady in 2020, after an excruciatingly long wait. He married Miss Universe 2017: South African beauty Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters.
Kanye West Doesn’t Indulge in Rap in the House
One of the biggest names in rap is Kanye West, according to both his fans and his foes. It’s just undeniable that he has made a mark in the industry. But recently, he admitted to a strange restriction. According to Ye: “I don’t even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in. I have to be in a way more grimey environment to turn any rap music on.”
Admit it: You like to twerk in front of the mirror in the privacy of your own home. But maybe being a real rap star has different rules. Or maybe, it’s a rich rule. We have no idea!
Joaquin Phoenix Doesn’t Eat Anything With a Cute Face
Joaquin Phoenix does not eat meat, milk, eggs, or even honey. He’s a vegan! The actor explains: “We are all animals of this planet. We are all creatures. And non-human animals experience pain sensations just like we do. They too are strong, intelligent, industrious, mobile, and evolutional. They too are capable of growth and adaptation. Like us, firsthand foremost, they are earthlings. And like us, they are surviving. Like us, they also seek their own comfort rather than discomfort. And like us, they express degrees of emotion. In short like us, they are alive.”
Joaquin has actually been vegan since he was around four years old. He saw how the sausage was made, basically, and wanted nothing to do with it. Beyond burgers, it is!
Tyra Banks Actually Doesn’t Drink Any Alcohol
Tyra Banks has been around expensive champagne and liquor all her career. When you’re a supermodel, there’s no shortage of events with free, fancy booze. But Tyra doesn’t have anything to do with that, by choice. She explains: “I feel like I’ve been very lucky because I don’t really have an addictive personality. I’ve never had any drugs, and I had a little taste of alcohol when I was 12 years old, but that’s about it.”
It’s not like Tyra is totally strict, though. On occasion, she loves to sneak junk food. Her favorite snack is ice cream, according to most interviews. We don’t blame her!
Khloé Kardashian Will Never Eat Greasy Bacon
There was always chatter that Khloé Kardashian was the chunkiest sister of the bunch. What can we say? People gossip and criticize everything about your appearance when you are a celeb. Obviously, she got sick of the comparisons and went on a revenge body mission. Today, she is laughing at all the haters. How does she maintain her figure, and fight her metabolism? According to her Instagram, it seems to involve smoothies and workouts. But there is one food she never touches. Ever!
Bacon is just gross, she says. When asked if she would rather gain weight again or taste pork bacon, she replied: “I would for sure rather gain 10 pounds! I don’t think I’ll ever eat pork in my life.”
Zac Efron Never Kicks Back With a Brewski
For a while, High School Musical heartthrob Zan Efron had a reputation for partying hard. Why did he drink so much? Apparently, he was having a lot of trouble coping with celebrity life and the media frenzy. But he realized he had a problem, and went to rehab. Sober since 2013, he is mindful of temptations. Zac recalls: “It’s a never-ending struggle. I was drinking a lot, way too much.”
Despite the difficulties, this actor isn’t too hard on himself. Zac reflects: “It’s impossible to lead an honest and fulfilling life as a man and not make mistakes and ‘fess up to them when you need to. I’m a human being, and I’ve made a lot of mistakes. I’ve learned from each one.”
Jessica Simpson Did Not Indulge in the Flesh Until She Got Married
Jessica Simpson has got to be one of the most famous cases of chastity in the entertainment industry. Pledging to be a virgin until marriage, her dad Joe even talked it up as a marketing tactic. Creepy, much? Jessica explained: “I promised God, my father, and my future husband that I would remain a virgin until I got married. I just always knew it was something I wanted to do.”
But that couldn’t last forever: At age 22, it was time to take off the promise ring. Jessica married Nick Lachey. And then, our imaginations went wild! Admit it, yours did, too.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos Says No to Your Favorite Pillsbury Biscuits
He’s the CEO of Amazon, and he avoids early-morning meetings. Why? Well, Jeff Bezos seems to think breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and he’s not going to fill up on fast, fatty treats. In fact, he used to do exactly that. In the ’90s, Jeff used to start each day stuffing his mouth full of an entire tube of Pillsbury biscuits. That’s 1,000 calories from soybean oil and white flour.
When his then-wife MacKenzie told him to read the ingredients, he was horrified. Now, he eats a healthy, hearty meal in the morning before he goes off to take over the planet.
Lana Del Rey Stays the Heck Away From Alcohol
Lana Del Rey started drinking early — very early. By age 14, her parents sent her away to boarding school to get sober. SHe was already an alcoholic! Lana reflects on those years: “I was a big drinker at the time. I would drink every day. I would drink alone…My parents were worried, I was worried. I knew it was a problem when I liked it more than I liked doing anything else.”
Luckily, Lana was able to get out of that phase mostly unscathed. She went on to pursue the music career of her dreams. And undoubtedly, those experiences helped her write lyrics!
Kendrick Lamar Took Dad’s Advice to Live a Sober Life
Hip Hop star Kendrick Lamar has no shortage of words. In his raps, he touches on a range of themes in his signature style. You might not be surprised to know that alcohol is one of those themes. Many rap songs address drinking, after all. But in this case, Kendrick doesn’t promote drinking. He’s a teetotaler himself, and he raps about the negative aspects of the habit in “Swimming Pools”.
Why does he stay away from booze? Many may not know that Kendrick grew up in a home with substance abuse. His father warned him he could end up on the corner if he made similar choices. Today, the rapper promotes sobriety, and we don’t blame him.
Leona Lewis Doesn’t Need a Buzz to Dance Her Heart Out
Leona Lewis has a simple reason she doesn’t drink. It tastes terrible! According to the singer: “I can have a great time without alcohol. I don’t need that to get me up on the dancefloor, I’m there already. I’ll sometimes have a little red bull. That’s my little buzz. “ Some would argue that Redbull itself tastes terrible. But that’s a debate with no end. We all have our favorites!
Leona has actually described the taste as hairspray. She might be on into something since alcohol is a key ingredient. When you put it like that, it doesn’t seem very appealing!

Leslie’s character was killed off the show, Harrington said her death was one of his favorite scenes. He said, “I know it sounds bizarre. She nailed that.

Blake Lively And Ryan Reynolds – The Green Lantern
Blake Lively has had a few romances with her co-stars, but none of them compare to the love she has for Ryan Reynolds. Before they were married with three kids, Lively and Reynolds met on the set of The Green Lantern. They went on a double date with other people, and then they realized they wanted to be together.
Reynolds said, “About a year after Green Lantern had come and gone and we were both single, we went on a double date. She was on a date with another guy, and I was on a date with another girl. That was the most awkward date because we were just like fireworks coming across.”

While working together on Gossip Girl in 2007, Leighton Meester and Sebastian Stan formed a real-life relationship after sort of dating on the show. In an interview, Stan said he was the luckiest guy to date her, and it didn’t bother him to see her with another man on the show.

Although fans were always rooting for Penny and Leonard, Cuoco and Galecki couldn’t make things work. It must have been awkward to continue playing a married couple on the show, but at least they were able to remain friends and work well together.
Blake Lively And Penn Badgley – Gossip Girl
You might remember this iconic duo as Dan and Serena from Gossip Girl, but Blake Lively and Penn Badgley’s romance mirrored their on-screen characters in real life. The couple dated for the first three seasons of the show, and they kept denying that they were a real couple.
A year after the pair started dating, Lively flat-out denied that they were together. However, they were outed when they were spotted kissing on vacation.

Cory Monteith And Lea Michele – Glee
Shortly after meeting on the set of Glee, Lea Michele and Cory Monteith struck up a relationship in 2012. Their on and off-screen romance made all of our teenage hearts swoon, and it was so cute to hear that they were planning a future together in real life like their characters on the show.
Unfortunately, their future plans were cut short when Monteith overdosed in 2013. It was one of the hardest things for Michele to get through because she lost the love of her life. However, she has healed and is now married with a newborn baby.
Keri Russell And Scott Speedman – Felicity
Keri Russell and Scott Speedman fell in love while filming the cult classic Felicity. The couple started dating in 2001, but their romance only lasted for a year. Despite the ongoing love triangle in the show, Speedman admitted that he was a disaster of a boyfriend.
They were both in their early twenties, and it was a cute romance, but not something that was meant to last. Russell and Speedman remain close friends to this day and even met up for a reunion.

Between 1999 and 2000, Linda Cardellini and Jason Segal were on and off-screen lovers who starred together on Freaks and Geeks. Although the pair had a short-lived romance on the show, they continued to date after the show abruptly ended.
During their relationship, they made many public appearances, and it seemed like they were the perfect couple. However, after five long years, Cardellini and Segal broke up. It is rumored that their breakup was the inspiration for Segal’s naked meltdown scene in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Jennifer Garner And Michael Vartan – Alias
After meeting on the set of Alias, the on and off-screen chemistry was strong between Jennifer Garner and Micahel Vartan. After two years of working together, they confirmed their real-life romance. However, a year later, they decided to break up.

Jerry Ferrara And Jaimie-Lynn Sigler – Entourage
While playing his on-screen love interest, Jerry Ferrara and Jamie-Lynn Sigler sparked a real relationship. The Entourage couple didn’t last long as Sigler’s career started to take off, and they didn’t have time to spend together.
After just a year, the couple broke up, and the ironic part was that their on-screen story mirrored their real-life breakup. On the show, Sigler’s character has to go to New Zealand to film a movie, and it causes problems in the relationship.
Jennifer Morrison And Jesse Spencer – House
Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer met on the set of House in 2004, and it didn’t take long for them to start dating behind the scenes. Their relationship lasted for three years, and they were even engaged before deciding to split. Their on-screen characters also got divorced before Morrison left the show in 2010.

While their on-screen romance was hot and heavy, Anna Paquin and Steven Moyer couldn’t deny their real feelings. They met in 2008 while filming the show and started dating pretty soon after. Fans were obsessed with their real-life romance, and it made the show that much more real.
The couple wed in 2010, and they have two children together. Even after 11 years of marriage, they still say they are best friends. While True Blood ended in 2014, Paquin said, “We are incredibly lucky we found each other.”
Vincent Kartheiser And Alexis Bledel – Mad Men
While their on-screen characters might have been having an affair with each other, Alexis Bledel and Vincent Kartheiser are happily married in real life. The Mad Men stars have a child together, and they keep their relationship extremely private and sacred.
Kartheiser said they keep things private because when you open your life up to the world, you take the anger and adoration from people when they might not know what they are talking about. He also said their love is magical, and they don’t want to share it.
Kat Dennings And Nick Zano – 2 Broke Girls
After playing her love interest on 2 Broke Girls, Nick Zano and Kat Dennings got together at the end of 2011. It was as if life was imitating art because they fell for each other on set. However, things didn’t last so long.
Dennings and Zano broke up in real life, and their on-screen characters decided a relationship wasn’t in the cards either. Apparently, it worked for the best because Dennings is currently engaged and recently showed off a massive ring on Instagram.
Blake Jenner And Melissa Benoist – Glee
While Blake Jenner and Melissa Benoist’s on-screen romance was a teenage dream, their lives were much different behind the scenes. After meeting on the set of Glee, in 2012, Benoist and Jenner started dating and married in 2015.
A year later, the couple split up. Benoist went on to release a Youtube video stating she was a victim of domestic violence but didn’t name her abuser. Jenner ended up admitting to hurting Benoist and released a public apology.
Josh Dallas And Ginnifer Goodwin – Once Upon A Time
If anyone is living a real-life fairytale, it is Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas. The couple met on the set of Once Upon a Time, where she played Snow White, and he was Prince Charming. In 2014, the couple married and have two kids together.
If that doesn’t prove there are happily ever afters, we don’t know what will. The couple said it was love at first sight, and everyone who knows them says Goodwin and Dallas had pure love from the start.
Josh Bowman And Emily VanCamp – Revenge
While the timeline of their relationship isn’t so clear, Josh Bowman and Emily VanCamp met when Revenge started filming in 2011. By 2012, they were already engaged and later married in 2018.
VanCamp said they kept their on and off-screen relationships separate, and she barely talks about him in interviews. Maybe that is what works for them and why their relationship has lasted all this time.
Matthew Rhys And Keri Russell – The Americans
Between 2013 and 2018, Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys starred opposite each other on the FX drama The Americans. Their chemistry went far beyond the screen, and they sparked many romance rumors for years.

Mark Consuelos And Kelly Ripa – All My Children
Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa are the perfect examples of how love can last in Hollywood. The pair met in 1995 on the set of All My Children, and they ended up eloping a year later in Las Vegas. Decades and three children later, they are still going strong.
The couple continues to make TV appearances together, and Consuelos has even filled in on Kelly’s show, Live with Kelly and Ryan. Ripa also made a guest appearance on Riverdale as Consuelos’ mistress.
Lili Reinhart And Cole Sprouse – Riverdale
One of our favorite couples from Riverdale was Betty Cooper and Jughead, aka Bughead. Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse kept quiet about their relationship since they started dating in 2017, but they were clearly in love.
However, the couple confirmed that they broke up in January 2020. Although they are not together in real life, they still play each other’s love interest on Riverdale. We wonder what the latest season will be like now that they aren’t together in real life.
Camila Mendes And Charles Melton – Riverdale
Unlike their co-stars who recently split up, Camila Mendes and Charles Melton from Riverdale recently rekindled their relationship after breaking up in 2019. They met on the set of Riverdale and reconnected there as well.
Veronica Lodge and Reggie Mantle shared some passionate moments on the show, and that love translated past the screen. They said the break was good for their relationship, and when they got back on set, they remembered how strong their connection was and couldn’t stay apart.
Ben McKenzie And Morena Baccarin – Gotham
Although Ben McKenzie and Morena Baccarin began dating when they co-starred on Gotham, they actually met years earlier on the set of The OC. McKenzie apparently blew off Baccarin and regretted it because she was so beautiful.
McKenzie told James Corden, “What kind of idiot would blow off this gorgeous, beautiful, sophisticated, intelligent, successful woman?’ Then I thought of what kind of boy I was at 25, and [I was] that kind of idiot.” Luckily, he got a second chance with her, and they are now married.
Natalia Dyer And Charlie Heaton – Stranger Things
There are many adorable relationships on Stranger Things, and one we always root for is Jonathan Byers and Nancy Wheeler, aka Charlie Heaton and Natalia Dyer. They are a full-on couple in real life, and we can only imagine how nice it is to have each other on set.
The couple has been keen on keeping their relationship out of the public eye despite being two public figures. However, Heaton has said that they share many similar experiences working in the same industry, and going through it together was a lot easier.
Lisa Rinna And Harry Hamlin – Veronica Mars
If you are a fan of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, you know that Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin are happily married because she will never stop talking about it. Most of her sentences start with the phrase, “My husband, Harry Hamlin….” The couple met at a restaurant and worked together on Veronica Mars.
Their on-air romance might not have been successful, but their real relationship has been going strong for years, and they share two gorgeous daughters. It’s a match made in heaven, and they couldn’t adore each other more if they tried.
Tea Leoni And Tim Daly – Madam Secretary
After meeting on the set of Madam Secretary, Tea Leon and Tim Daly are still going strong as a couple in real life. They started dating in 2014, and many people believe they secretly go married after all these years.
People from the show were surprised to find out that Leoni and Daly were dating because the cast had heard rumors, but they didn’t believe them. Everyone who knows them says they make the perfect couple, and people are so happy that they both found love.
Jared And Genevieve Padalecki – Supernatural
Supernatural gave Jared Padalecki a lot more than 15 years of work; he also met the love of his life. Jared and Genevieve met on the set of the CW show in 2008 and hit it off instantly. They are now married with three beautiful children.
Jared said, “I thought she was cute and smart and would always read books … I thought she was awesome.” Genevieve joined the Supernatural cast in the fourth season, and it was like the universe brought them together because their chemistry was instant.

Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof first met years ago on Buffy the Vampire Slayer when Denisof joined the cast in the third season. Hannigan said she was immediately smitten with him, but didn’t want to date someone she was working with, so they developed a close friendship.
It took two years after her previous relationship before she and Denisof began dating. They have no been married since 2003, and they have two children together. Hannigan said, “he is the most romantic husband, and he did more than I could ever ask for.”
Tom Hardy And Charlotte Riley – Wuthering Heights
You might not remember the show, but Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley met when they started filming the show Wuthering Heights. The pair felt a mutual attraction, and a year after filming ended, they couldn’t resist each other, so they started dating.
In 2014, Hardy and Riley married in a secret ceremony to keep the paparazzi away, and they welcomed their first child a year later. They never thought they would meet their soulmates, and it just happened by chance.
Melissa And David Fumero – Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Melissa and David Fumero actually met on the set of the soap opera One Life To Live, and at first, it was hard for David to watch Melissa have romantic scenes with other actors because he was jealous. Mellisa knew David from a Mariah Carey music video, and she had an instant crush on him.
The couple loved working together so much that when Melissa was working on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, they brought David in to be the puzzle master that makes her on-screen boyfriend jealous.
Ryan Gosling And Eva Mendes – The Place Beyond The Pines
The famously private couple Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling met on the set of the film The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011. Shortly after filming, they were spotted together at Disneyland and around LA.

Leighton Meester And Adam Brody – The Oranges
Leighton Meester and Adam Brody have to be the most underrated couple of all time. While they are known respectively for starring in different teen dramas, they didn’t meet until they worked together on the movie The Oranges.
While they have always kept their relationship very private, we know they started dating in 2012 and got engaged in 2013. They got married the following year, and they share a daughter together. Their love is just as cute as other Hollywood couples, and we love them.
LeAnn Rimes And Eddie Cibrian – Northern Lights
LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian’s relationship started pretty controversially because they were both married to other people when they first started seeing eachother. They fell in love while filming the movie Northern Lights in 2009, and when the news broke about their cheating scandal, they stood strong together.
Cibrian said they are only human and couldn’t fight what they felt because it was so strong. Cibrian’s ex-wife told the other side of the story on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and she was not afraid to let people know how awful the situation was.
Nick Offerman And Megan Mullally – Parks And Recreation
Although they were already married long before Parks and Recreation, Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally met while they were doing a play in Los Angeles in 2000. They tried to avoid a relationship while working together, but they couldn’t resist their feelings.
They got married in a small ceremony, and they loved working together so much that when Offerman got the role on Parks and Rec, Mullally wanted to play the character of Tammy 2 because no one else should be able to play his crazy ex-wife.
Steve Carell And Nancy Carell – The Office
Steve Carell and his wife Nancy met when he was her improv teacher in Los Angeles, and they had a quick connection. Carell said, “I was immediately attracted to my wife. She’s beautiful, intelligent and really funny. She kind of checked all the boxes in my head, but I thought she hated me because she was very quiet around me.”
Well, it turned out that he was wrong, and they got married. Nancy and Steve loved working together so much that she played one of his girlfriends on The Office and made cameos in many of his other projects like The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
The Weird And Unthinkable Tales Of Side Show Performers
This article was originally published on 24/7Mirror
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Roll up, roll up, as we welcome you to a mysterious tale of the most famous sideshow performers of yesteryear. Step right up as we invite you into our circus tent to bear witness to the strangest of the strange. Marvel at the eighth wonders of the world! Hear carnival folk’s tragic and sometimes scandalous stories… and meet a real-life monster and cold-blooded killer.
Lobster Boy Quite Literally Got Away With Murder
We begin with the most scandalous circus performer of them all. Grady Stiles Jr. came from a long line of circus performers with ectrodactyly––which fuses fingers and toes together to form claw-like hands and feet. Unfortunately, the mental anguish of being displayed in “freak shows” and being called Lobster Boy took its toll on Grady, and he became a cruel and abusive alcoholic, often using his colossal upper body strength to beat his wife and daughters.
Let’s jump ahead to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1978. On the eve of his daughter’s wedding, Grady grabbed a shotgun with his claws and shot and killed his daughter’s fiancé. He was convicted of murder but never served time as no prison could care for him. Instead, he received 15 years’ probation under house arrest.
Joseph Merrick: The Elephant Man
Next up is perhaps the most tragic of all exhibits, The Elephant Man. Joseph Merrick lived a woeful life––after both his siblings died, he developed terrible physical deformities. He left school at 13 and worked in a factory rolling cigars until his right hand became so deformed, he couldn’t work. Aged 17, he lived in a workhouse, but by the time he was 20, his face was so disfigured; he had difficulty eating.
Joseph knew there was only one escape from the hell of the workhouse, so he became a “novelty exhibition,” where cruel showmen advertised him as Half-a-Man and Half-an-Elephant. If you want to find out more about Merrick’s life, watch David Lynch’s 1980 film.
This Bearded Woman Was Kidnapped As A Child
Annie Jones was born in 1865 in Virginia. As a result of her hirsutism, she joined P.T. Barnum’s circus aged just nine months! Her parents received a $150-a-week salary. When she was just a kid, a New York phrenologist kidnapped her in what was almost certainly a Barnum publicity stunt. The police, along with Barnum, found her being exhibited at a church fair. When the man claimed Annie was his daughter, the matter went to court.
But it all ended happily ever after: The minute Annie walked into the courtroom and saw her parents; she ran straight over to them. The judge declared the case closed.
Chang and Eng: The Original Siamese Twins
Chang and Eng Bunker were conjoined twins born in Thailand in 1811. The brothers are the reason conjoined twins became known as Siamese Twins because back then, the country was still called Siam. As in: “Are you the King of Thailand?” – “Yes, Siam!” They came to the USA around 1830 and toured as a curiosity act. Then, in 1839, they settled down in North Carolina, became US citizens, and married a pair of sisters.
Between them, Chang and Eng fathered a staggering 21 children. We don’t even want to think about how that worked! To paraphrase Joey from Friends “Eyes open or eyes closed?”… Candles on, or candles off?
This New Car Of Yours Better Have A Sun Roof, Karen
This 1935 photograph shows the Giraffe Necked Woman of Bertram Mills’ “Freak Show” being examined by doctors. Unfortunately, there’s not much information available about this long-necked lady, but it’s most likely she comes from the Kayan or Karen tribes of Myanmar and northwest Thailand. Although, like Thailand used to be Siam, Myanmar was still known as Burma back then. For centuries, the tribeswomen have been lengthening their necks with brass rings.
You’ll be glad to hear that the Karen tribes of Myanmar and Thailand are nowhere near as entitled as Karen from your Accounts Department!
Poor Krao Farini Was Advertised As The Missing Link
Krao Farini was a hirsute woman born with hypertrichosis. Legend says she was he was captured as a child in the jungles of Laos––then part of Siam––by the explorer Carl Bock in 1885. P.T. Barnum falsely advertised her as a primitive human and billed her the missing link between humans and apes. Her name purportedly means “ape” in Siamese. She lived in New York until her death in 1926, aged 50.
As well as her body hair, she had an extrathoracic vertebra, one extra pair of ribs, cheek pouches, hypermobility of her joints, and no cartilage in her ears and nose.
Hunting For The Ohio Big Foot Girl
Fannie Mills was born in Sussex, England, around 1859. She had Milroy Disease, which caused her legs and feet to grow to gigantic proportions. Indeed, her feet grew to be 17 inches long, and she wore a size 30 shoe! Her parents emigrated to the USA, where she became known as The Ohio Big Foot Girl. Her father took out an advert offering $5,000 and a well-stocked farm to any respectable man that would marry his daughter!
That respectable man was one William Brown. They married in 1886, and Fannie had a baby in August 1887. Sadly, the baby died, and Fannie died in 1899, aged just 39.
This Man With A Most Excellent Mustache Had Elastic Skin
Remember Marvel’s The Fantastic Four? Their spacecraft was bombarded by cosmic radiation granting the four astronauts their superpowers. Reed Richards gained the ability to stretch his body into any shape and became Mister Fantastic. But how do you become a super-stretchy superhero without cosmic radiation? Well, Felix Wehrle was born in Wisconsin in 1858 with a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. He discovered he could stretch his skin to great lengths as a child.
You may think that we’ve moved on from sideshows in the 21st Century, but Gary Turner from England––who suffers from the same skin condition––performs in sideshows even today.
The Living Human Skeleton Narrowly Escaped A Museum Fire
Isaac Sprague was born in Massachusetts in 1841. He enjoyed a normal childhood, but after falling ill after swimming in a lake when he was 12, he began irreversibly losing weight despite having a healthy appetite. In 1865, he joined P.T. Barnum’s American Museum and was billed as the Living Human Skeleton until the museum burned down in 1868, with Sprague narrowly managing to escape with his life!
By the age of 44, he weighed just 43 pounds (19.5 kg). Time and again, he tried to leave the sideshow life but had to care for his wife and three healthy sons while battling a gambling addiction. He died penniless in 1887.
Fedor Jeftichew: Jo-Jo The Dog-Faced Boy
As a child, Russian performer Fedor Jeftichew went by the name Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy and toured Europe with his father, The Wild Man from the Kostroma Forest. In 1884, that man again––P.T. Barnum brought him to Stateside, where he became known as… you guessed it: Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Man. Barnum invented a story that he and his father were captured and kept in a cave by a hunter. Barnum forced Fedor to bark and growl as part of the act.
Fedor died from pneumonia in Greece in 1904. But his legacy doesn’t end there. He was made famous in the movies. No, not as Chewbacca, but in The Greatest Showman (2017), where Luciano Acuna Jr. portrayed Dog Boy.
Surely A Three-Legged Soccer Player Is Cheating
Now, many men joke about having a third leg, but Frank Lentini didn’t have to lie! Born in 1889 with a parasitic twin, his family moved from Sicily to the United States. Frank joined several circuses; the famous Ringling Brothers Circus, Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, and Barnum and Bailey. He was known as The Great Lentini. As well as having three legs, Frank had four feet and two sets of genitals!
Also known as the Three-Legged Soccer Player, Frank could kick a ball across a stage with his third leg. He married Theresa Murray, had four children, and lived to the age of 77. He was portrayed by Jonathan Redavid in The Greatest Showman.
Identical Albino Twins Were Kidnapped
George and Willie Muse were two albino African American brothers who grew up in Truevine, a tobacco farming sharecropping community in Virginia. One day in 1899, when they were working the fields, a white man kidnapped them and forced them to perform in the circus. They were exhibited as Men From Mars and told that their mother, Harriet, was dead. Only Harriet was alive and well, and she ended up suing the Ringling Brothers.
George and Willie rejoined the circus in the late 1920s but were paid this time. George died in 1971, and Willie lived to a ripe old age, dying in 2001. If you’d like to read more about George and Willie Muse, we recommend Beth Macy’s excellent book Truevine (2016). Leonardo DiCaprio’s film company bought the rights.
The Hilton Sisters: Jazz Playing Conjoined Twins
Daisy and Violet Hilton were born in Brighton, England, in 1908. Their mom, Kate Skinner, was unmarried, so her employer––Mary Hilton––took them on. Mary and their violent and abusive father displayed the conjoined babies in the Queen’s Arms pub. They first toured Britain when they were three years old, before touring Europe and Australia. Daisy played saxophone while Violet played violin, and they also danced. In 1926, they formed The Dancemedians troupe with Bob Hope!
When Mary died, she bequeathed the twins to her daughter, who became their manager and kept them in captivity. In 1931, they sued her, gaining freedom from their contract and winning $100,000 in damages (about $1,500,000 today!) The twins both married gay actors as publicity stunts but died in 1969 from the Hong Kong Flu pandemic.
Don’t Look Back In Anger
Martin Emmerling was born in Germany in 1885, and he had an extraordinary trick up his sleeve. Well, it was actually up his collar. His party trick was turning his neck almost 180 degrees, like the possessed girl in The Exorcist! He emigrated to the USA, changed his name to Martin Joe Laurello, and appeared in Sam Wagner’s Freak Show on Coney Island, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, Ringling Brothers, and Barnum & Bailey.
As a result, he became known by the stage names The Human Owl and the much-less catchy Bobby the Boy with the Revolving Head. Fellow sideshow performer Percilla Berjano, aka Monkey Girl, described Laurello as “perhaps a Nazi.”
The Four-Legged Girl From Texas
Myrtle Corbin was born in 1868 in Tennessee with two separate pelvises, meaning she had four legs. When she was 13, she became a sideshow performer nicknamed the Four-Legged Girl from Texas. One early promotional pamphlet described her as being as “gentle of disposition as the summer sunshine and as happy as the day is long.” Her sunny disposition meant she married James Clinton Bicknell and had four daughters and a son.
After she died in Texas in 1928, her coffin was covered in concrete, and her family kept watch until the casket was fully cured to prevent graverobbers from stealing her corpse. Yikes!
Ella Harper: The Camel Girl
Ella Harper was born in 1870 with a rare condition called congenital genu recurvatum. Aged around 16, she became the star of a touring curiosity show act. She received a $200 per week salary and even carried a business/pitch card reading: “I am called the camel girl because my knees turn backward. I can walk best on my hands and feet as you see me in the picture.”
The card continued: “I have traveled considerably in the show business for the past four years and now, this is 1886 and I intend to quit the show business and go to school and fit myself for another occupation.” She died in 1921.
Don’t Listen To The Voices In Your Head
Arnold Gerrit Henskes, known professionally as Mirin Dajo, was a Dutch performer who was famous for piercing his body with all kinds of objects without sustaining any injuries. As a child, he claimed to have had strange dreams and paranormal experiences but when he turned 33, he realized his body was “invulnerable” to daggers, and that he could swallow glass and razor blades. According to his Dutch assistant, Dajo was telepathic, had guardian angels, and could heal people…
In May 1948, Dajo said the voices in his head told him to eat a steel needle. Surgeons removed the needle two days later and Dajo walked through Zurich to prove he was healthy. Ten days after that, he lay down on a bed, went into a trance-like state, and died two days later.
Madam Gustika Of The Duckbill Tribe
This is Madam Gustika. She was billed as a member of the Duckbill tribe, which is a non-existent and completely made-up name. Instead, she perhaps came from the Mursi tribe, a unique branch of the Surma tribe from Southern Sudan. As part of a Mursi girl’s rites of passage into womanhood, she has her bottom teeth removed to make space for a lip plate, which is then increased in size once a year.
She is seen here smoking a pipe with an extended mouthpiece during a circus show in 1930. The lip-stretching process is similar to those people with holes in their ears created by earrings nowadays.
Ladies And Gentlemen, The Jaramillo Sisters
The Jaramillo sisters were from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Natalia was born in 1889, and Aurora followed in 1896. Standing with a giant man, this picture is believed to be from 1908, when Natalia was 19 years old, and Aurora was 12. It’s thought they suffered from microcephaly, a disease that makes people’s heads much smaller than normal. People with this affliction were pejoratively known as “pinheads.”
Although she doesn’t suffer from the disease, actress Naomi Grossman played a character with microcephaly in the TV show American Horror Story: Asylum but it was a much earlier film that made these folks famous.
Is There Anything This Man Can’t Do?
The film in question is Tod Browning’s Freaks (1932) and this isn’t the last time we’ll hear those names today. Johnny Eck was born without the lower half of his torso, and as a result, appeared in the shocking black and white film. Here he is with Angelo Rossitto in a still from the film. Johnny also went on to make several appearances as a bird creature in Tarzan movies.
Even though he was born with such a severe disability, Johnny was also a musician, photographer, artist, Punch and Judy puppeteer, expert model-maker, and even owned a penny arcade! The being-sawn-in-half magic trick he performed with his twin brother would send audiences running and screaming for the exits!
Koo-Koo the Bird Girl
Minnie Woolsey, known as Koo-Koo the Bird Girl was born in 1880 in Georgia, USA. She had a rare congenital growth skeletal disorder called Virchow-Seckel syndrome, which caused her to be short in stature, and have a small head, a narrow face, large eyes and ears, and a nose shaped like a beak. The poor girl was also bald, toothless, and thought to be almost blind.
A traveling showman “rescued” Minnie from a mental asylum, and put her to work dancing and speaking gibberish in a bird costume. She was known as Minnie Ha Ha but was billed as Koo-Koo the Bird Girl in Freaks.
The Eighth Wonder Of The World
Millie and Christine McKoy, aka The Carolina Twins, were born in 1851 to Jacob and Monemia McKoy, who were slaves of North Carolina blacksmith Jabez McKay. He sold the girls to the circus when they were just ten months old. The twins overcame slavery, being sold as babies, medical observations, and freak shows to become a song and dance act known as The Two-Headed Nightingale and The Eighth Wonder of the World.
In their 30s, they moved back to the farm where they were born. Their father had bought it from Jabez McKay and left it to the twins when he died. On October 8th, 1912, Millie and Christine died at age 61 from tuberculosis. Christine died 12 hours after Millie.
Two Heads Are Better Than One
Pasqual Piñón was a railroad worker from Texas. Until, that is, a sideshow promoter noticed he had two heads. Well, not really, the second head was, in fact, a large benign tumor. So the promoter drafted Piñón into his traveling show and constructed a fake face made of wax to place on top of the cyst. Then he charged Joe Public to see The Two-Headed Mexican. After a few years of touring, the circus boss paid for Piñón to have the cyst removed.
His story reminds us of the urban legend of Edward Mordake. He was born with a second face and claimed it whispered terrible things to him at night, until he took his own life at age 23.
General Tom Thumb Is The Most Famous Little Person
When Charles Sherwood Stratton was born in Connecticut in 1838, he was a healthy bouncing baby weighing in at 9lbs 8 oz (4.3 kg). At first, he grew normally, weighing 15 lbs (6.8 kg) and measuring 25 inches (64 cm) when he was six months old. But then he suddenly stopped growing. Aged 5, Charles had only grown another one inch (2.5 cm). That’s when P.T. Barnum bought him…
Barnum taught 3’4″ Tom to sing, dance, mime, and impersonate famous people like Napoleon Bonaparte. Charles traveled the world and became incredibly famous as General Tom Thumb until he died aged 45.
Wooly Girl
Alice Doherty was born in Minneapolis in 1887 with blue eyes and two-inch-long blonde hair all over her body. The scientific name for her condition is hypertrichosis, but you may know it as Werewolf Syndrome. Aged two, Alice’s mother and father exhibited her as a sideshow attraction from the age of two years old and gave her the stage name Wooly Girl. Gee, thanks, Mom and Dad! Still, it’s better than Were-wooly-wolf Girl.
By the time she was a teenager, her facial hair was 9″ long and reached past her shoulders. Alice retired in 1915 and died in Dallas, Texas, in 1933, aged 46.
This Picture Is Not Photoshopped
When Jacob Rheuben Erlich was born in Denver, Colorado, in 1906, he weighed less than four pounds. He was a small child until he was seven, and then he shot up due to acromegalic gigantism. By the time he was ten, he stood over six feet tall. By the time he was 13, he was over seven feet! Can you imagine being an auntie having not seen him for a couple of years and saying, “Gosh, haven’t you grown, my dear!”
Eventually, he grew to 7’7,” changed his name to Jack Earle, and traveled as a sideshow performer for 14 years before becoming a salesman. He died aged 46, but his legacy lives on in Tom Waits’s song “Get Behind The Mule.”
Introducing The Tattooed Lady
Ladies and jellybeans, this is Betty Broadbent, the Tattooed Venus. Here she is preparing to challenge traditional views of beauty for women of yesteryear by participating in a beauty pageant at the 1939 New York World’s Fair in Flushing Meadow, Queens. Covered from neck to elbow to ankle, Betty had over 565 tattoos and first became interested in the art of tattooing when she met Jack Redcloud on the boardwalk in Atlantic City.
The thing is, Betty was only 14 years old at the time and working as a nanny. Her first tattoos must have gone down well with her parents… in the year 1927!
Three Stripes And You’re Out!
Riddle me this, Batman! What has stripes like a zebra and a ring through his nose? The answer, of course, is English sideshow performer Horace Ridler. Also tattooed from head to toe, he exhibited himself as The Great Omi or The Zebra Man, and he has an extraordinary tale. Ridler was born into an upper-class English family, studied at Oxford or Cambridge University, and served in Mesopotamia in World War I.
He also appeared at the 1939 World Fair along with Betty Broadbent and claims he was knifed in the cheek by an unknown assailant in New York. That said, it could have been another publicity stunt to drum up business.
Both Tarzan and Jane
This is well-known circus performer Josephine-Joseph, who claimed their body was split exactly down the middle, with one side being female and the other side being male. Josephine-Joseph claimed to be an intersex person, but there is no evidence to confirm whether this is true, and they may have just been a skilled impersonator, wearing a dress on the “female” side, and a Tarzan-style mankini on the “male” side.
In 1930, Joseph and her husband George were prosecuted in Blackpool, UK, for false pretenses and conspiracy for their “Half Woman-Half Man” circus show.
Bear Man
Not much is known about the handsome, bearded little person in this photograph other than he is nicknamed Bear Man, and he appeared at a sideshow attraction at the Greenbrier Valley Fair, West Virginia, in 1938. As well as dwarfism, his body was seemingly affected by a spinal condition, meaning he walked on all fours. The Bear Man appeared alongside fairground rides, scary clowns, burlesque dancers, and “double-sexed” wonders––bare naked Mary Casey and her sister.
The Greenbrier Valley Fair grew to become the State Fair of West Virginia and is still going to this day. Thankfully, it’s less exploitative nowadays, although the livestock might disagree.
Please Give The Little Lady A Hand
This is little Dutch person Johanna Pauline Musters, aka Princess Pauline, or Lady Dot, standing on the hand of her manager Verschueren in around 1890. She is recognized by the Guinness World Records as the shortest woman ever recorded, standing just 24 inches (61 cm) tall. She weighed in at just eight and a half pounds, which is good for a newborn baby but not for a 17-year-old.
Why 17? Well, unfortunately, that’s how long Pauline lived. She was born in 1878 and died in New York City in 1895 from a combination of pneumonia and meningitis.
Sealo the Sealman
In 1901, in Pittsburgh, Stanislaus Berent was born with phocomelia. This congenital condition causes seal-like arms, meaning his hands grew from his shoulders. After becoming a newspaper seller, he became a circus performer for almost fifty years! Between 1920 and 1970, he appeared as Sealo the Sealman at Coney Island’s Freak Show. He could shave, saw things in half, and was often joined on-stage by his partner, Toby, a chimpanzee.
Here he is enjoying a donut in 1960. Despite being described as an “avid drinker,” he lived to the ripe old age of 79, finally passing away in 1980.
Tod Browning’s Freaks
Throughout our trip to circus sideshows and country fairs, we’ve referenced Tod Browning’s controversial film Freaks several times. Here is the director posing with cast members in 1931. But did you know that Tod Browning’s Dracula (1931) kicked off the Universal monster horror movies? Yes, folks, this is the man we have to thank for starting the franchise that brought us Frankenstein (1931), The Mummy (1931), and The Wolf Man (1943).
Freaks was meant to be Browing’s follow-up to Dracula but was a box-office flop. Worse, the film was banned in the United Kingdom for over 30 years and labeled “brutal and grotesque” in Canada.
Lionel the Lion-Faced Man
Stephan Bibrowski was born in Poland with one-inch hair covering his body. Similar to Alice and Krao Farini, he suffered from hypertrichosis. Soon, his whole body was covered with long blonde hair that made him look like a lion. By the time he joined the circus as Lionel the Lion-faced Man, the hair on his face measured eight inches (20 cm), and four inches (10 cm) everywhere else.
The only parts of his body that were not covered in hair were the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet. And presumably his eyes.
Tallest At The Back, Please!
Remember near the top of today’s list we mentioned The Ringling Brothers’ “Congress of Freaks”? Well, we end with a group portrait from 1924. Look closely, and in the back row, you’ll see Minnie Woolsey, aka Koo-Koo the Bird Girl, George and Willie Muse, aka the Men from Mars, and we’re pretty sure Stephan Bibrowski, also known as Lionel the Lion-Faced Man. They are joined by several little people.
In the front row, there’s Martin Laurello, aka The Human Owl, and Krao Farini. On the far right are the world’s tallest conjoined giraffe twins! The photographer was obviously an amateur because anyone worth their salt should know that tall people go at the back and short people go at the front!
Painful Hollywood On-Set Accidents That Could Have Been Avoided
While people think being an actor is all fun and games, it can be a pretty dangerous job. While there are stunt people on the set, actors still have to perform some of the dangerous scenes on their own, and it’s no laughing matter. Most stunts are thoroughly planned, but mistakes happen, and injures are more common than you think. From Isla Fisher almost drowning to Tom Cruise breaking his leg, these actors have almost lost it all, but they luckily recovered to tell their death-defying tales. You would think this would scare them out of acting, but this only makes them come back for more.
Kate Winslet Almost Drowned During Titanic
Ironically enough, Kate Winslet almost drowned during the filming of Titanic. The second half of the movie is a whirlwind of people screaming, pushing each other, and jumping overboard as the massive ship sinks to the bottom of the ocean, and one of those people is Kate Winslet’s character, Rose.
While her character didn’t drown in the film, Winslet almost did while filming. During the scene where Jack and Rose get into the elevator, as it fills with water, Winslet’s coat got caught in the elevator gate. Luckily, the crew got her unstuck before the water level was too high.
Daniel Craig Almost Scarred His Face
Craig has a long history of injuries while playing James Bond. In the movie Spectre, he sprained his knee during a fight scene, causing production to be delayed. However, it resumed once his injury healed within a few weeks.
On the set of the movie, Quantum of Solace, Craig had to get eight stitches after an on-set collision caused cuts to the actor’s face. Craig had to get plastic surgery for his cuts so they wouldn’t permanently damage his money maker.
Margaret Hamilton Received Second-Degree Burns
As one of the most iconic characters in cinematic history, Margaret Hamilton’s Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz is sassy, green, and slightly terrifying, but she knows how to make an exit with a red spark and smoke.
Unfortunately for Hamilton, one of the flares used for the witch’s exit had a bad reaction to the petroleum in her green makeup. This resulted in a fire causing Hamilton to get second and third-degree burns on her hands and face. So much for her melting by water being thrown in her face.
Diana Kruger Passed Out On Set
In Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards, Diana Kruger really showed off her acting chops, playing a film student turned allied spy, Bridget Von Hammersmar. In one scene, Kruger went above and beyond anything an actor should be expected to do without a stand-in.
In the scene, Kruger’s character is choked by one of the bad guys who discovers she’s a spy, and the person playing this faceless man was Quentin Tarantino himself. He must have gotten really into the scene because he actually choked her to the point where she passed out on set.
Gerard Butler Was Almost Taken Out By A Wave
When movie scenes are filmed in the ocean, a lot can go wrong because it is a powerful force that can’t be controlled. While Gerard Butler was filming Chasing Mavericks, Butler was taken down by what people describe as a 30-foot wave.
The wave threw Butler around to the point where he nearly drowned. While he was being thrown around in the ocean, the only thing he could think about was the film crew above the water watching this happen.
Channing Tatum Had Boiling Water Poured Down His Pants
In the movie The Eagle, actors were preparing to shoot a scene where they go into a freezing cold river in the Scottish Highlands. To keep him warm, a crew member poured boiling water into Channing Tatum’s wardrobe, burning the skin off the tip of his unmentionable member.
The crew member thought it would help that actor warm up in the freezing water but took it a few steps too far. In an interview after his recovery, Tatum said that he was in so much pain on the way to the hospital that he actually asked the ambulance driver to knock him out because he couldn’t stand the pain.
Jackie Chan Broke His Back
Well, here is an actor who had his fair share of injures on the set. Jackie Chan’s injuries during the years can be an assignment for an anatomy student because it seems like every part of his body got broken or hurt in some way during filming.
While filming Police Story, Chan was supposed to do a stunt where he jumps from a roof and slides down a pole. However, the stunt ended with him breaking his back and dislocating his pelvis. This certainly wasn’t the only one of his stunts that went horribly wrong.
Jennifer Lawrence Suffocated Because Of A Smoke Machine
One of Jennifer Lawrence’s most iconic roles was Katiness Everdeen in the Hunger Games movies. The character is a fighter and survives the Hunger Games more than once. For Lawrence, portraying the character was not easy because of the complicated stunts.
During filming, one of the smoke machines malfunctioned during a tunnel scene, causing too much fog for Lawrence to handle. She was still inside the tunnel when the malfunction happened, and she started choking to the point where she was nauseous and dizzy. The crew had to rescue her.
Jeremy Renner Broke Both His Arms Playing Tag
In July 2017, after filming for only three days, actor Jeremy Renner broke both of his arms on the set of the movie Tag. Renner, who is an experienced action star, surprised the crew with this injury.
However, we can’t blame Renner for this accident. After all, The movie Tag is a comedy about a bunch of guys playing tag, and as we all know from our childhood, it can be a ruthless game.
Ellen Burstyn Suffered A Serious Back Injury
The Exorcist was a terrifying movie that caused viewers to have physical reactions like fainting or vomiting, so you can imagine how hard the move was to film. As the demon’s mother, Ellen Burstyn, is pushed across the room with great force, which was really a crew member pulling her by a wire wrapped around her waist.
Unfortunately, the crew member pulled Burstyn’s waist a little too hard, causing her to hit the ground with so much force that she injured her lower back permanently. We wonder if that crew member got in trouble for causing her everlasting pain.
Brendan Fraser’s Hanging Blacked Out During A Scene
There are many dangerous stunts in The Mummy, one of which shows Brendan Fraser’s character meeting his end at the gallows early in the film. Unfortunately, Fraser’s stunt didn’t go as planned, even though it was fine for the stuntman.
After Fraser’s stuntman finished his part of the gallows scene, the crew needed a close-up of Fraser’s face, so he stepped in. However, the rope was too tight around his neck, and he blacked out. In an interview, Fraser said he was “fully choked out,” and it was scary.
Angelina Jolie Got Cut During A “Ridiculously Easy Scene”
Angelina Jolie took a permanent souvenir home from filming the movie Salt. She sliced her face just above her nose during what she called “a ridiculously easy scene. “She tumbled into a doorway with a gun and ended up rolling onto the floor.
In an interview about the movie, Jolie said that she bled and was left with a little scar to remind her of the movie.
Daryl Hannah’s Elbow Went Through A Window
When Daryl Hannah played Pris in Blade Runner, she not only got her big break in the entertainment industry but also almost severely injured herself. In the scene, Hannah is running on wet pavement and is supposed to slip and fall into a van.
Unfortunately, Hannah didn’t fall directly into the van and instead fell into the van’s window. Her elbow went through the glass and chipped her bone in eight places. According to the actress, she still has a scar where the stitches were.
Tom Cruise Famously Broke His Ankle
When it comes to stunts, Tom Cruise is one actor who never holds back, and he likes to do most of his own stunts. But there are times when things don’t go as planned, even for this seasoned professional. During the filming of Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Cruise miscalculated a stunt, and it didn’t end well.
He was jumping from one rooftop to another, and Cruise accidentally hit his ankle on the side of the building, causing it to break. In an interview, Cruise said he immediately knew it was broken, but he still wanted to try the stunt again, so he got up and carried on.
Halle Berry Slammed Her Head Into A Concrete Floor
In 2012, Halle Berry performed a fight scene with a stunt man on the set of The Call, when her head slammed onto the concrete floor, knocking her out. Berry was taken to the hospital and diagnosed with a minor head injury.
Berry had also broken her right foot while filming the movie Cloud Atlas in Mallorca, and on the set of the movie Gothica, Robert Doweny Jr. twisted her arm the wrong way, and it snapped. Let’s hope that she has excellent insurance for her next film.
Sean Bean Got A Permanent Scar

In the heat of the moment, Ford accidentally hit Bean’s face with a boating hook. The hit was hard enough to leave a gash on his face. The cut resulted in a scar that actually works for him because he usually plays a tough character.
Robert Downey Jr.’s Injuries Delayed Filming
Robert Downey Jr. sprained his ankle while performing a wire-rigged stunt on Ironman 3 set. Downey’s injury caused a massive delay in production due to a six-week break for recovery that the doctor prescribed.

One of the most tragic accidents that ever occurred in the film industry was the one that took the life of actor Brandon Lee on the set of the movie The Crow in 1993. Lee was hit mistakenly by a loaded handgun from close range after thinking the gun was unloaded. In the original scene, actor Michael Massee was to shoot Lee when he arrived home carrying groceries.
The .44 Magnum used in the scene wasn’t adequately cleaned after being used in a prior scene; therefore, when Massee used it, he didn’t know that there is a bullet in the weapon. Lee was shot in the abdomen and taken to the hospital, where he died from his injury.
Lorenza Izzo Was Swept Down The Amazon River
Although Lorenza Izzo is supposed to be playing someone surrounded by cannibals in The Green Inferno, that wasn’t the scariest part of filming. During one scene, Izzo almost drowned when she was swept down the Amazon River.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Biked Into A Cab
With the premise of a character literally riding a bike through New York City traffic, you would assume the actor knows how to ride a bike. However, Joseph Gordon-Levitt didn’t know what he was doing in Premium Rush.
While filming one of his scenes, Gordon-Levitt accidentally collided with a taxi, resulting in a horrible gash on his arm. He needed 30 stitches, and it’s a good thing he didn’t land on his head because his injuries would have been much worse.
