We often tend to think of celebrities as larger than life, and once we find someone to idolize, we may even think we know almost everything about them. 

But at the end of the day, these figures are just ordinary people living normal lives, with different sides to their personalities we’d never know about if they weren’t exposed to us by someone else. 

From Ryan Gosling walking on all fours to Alfred Hitchcock’s stalker tendencies, here are 25 celebrity secrets spilled by their current and former employees.

#1 Angelina Jolie Is Secretly A Ninja

While Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were married, her ex-bodyguard claimed the former would start throwing knives during some of their more intense arguments, though no one was ever seriously harmed.

“Angelina has quite a temper on her and she has been known to throw a few knives around when she is angry,” a source said, according to Zee News. 

The outlet reported her ex-husband gifted her some anger management classes in response.

#2 Ariana Grande’s Feet Don’t Touch The Ground When She Travels

A couple of years ago, an insider said that Ariana Grande “doesn’t want her precious feet to hit the floor,” and these rumors were further fueled by her mention of it in a 2013 Instagram post, saying it was a “post-show ritual when my feet are broken.”

But the One Last Time singer has since shut down the ridiculous claims.

In a carpool karaoke interview with James Corden, she addresses the rumors and exclaimed, “No! No! That’s so stupid! Are you crazy?”

#3 A Former Employee Called Britney Spears Out For Being Dirty

According to Capital FM, the Toxic singer was slammed by her ex-bodyguard in a report, saying Britney had “obnoxious” habits, especially while working with him.

“She broke wind or picked her nose unselfconsciously and unapologetically and she was constantly and gratuitously loud and profane,” read his court papers.

“She did not bathe for days, did not use deodorant, did not brush her teeth, did not fix her hair, did not wear shoes or socks.”

#8 Alfred Hitchcock The Stalker

While the director worked on his films The Birds and Marnie, he seemed to develop a fascination for former actress Tippi Hedren. 

According to her, he started to take things much too far by stalking and sexually assaulting her. People reports that in her memoir — released in 2016 — she claims he tried to force her to kiss him in the back of a limo, among many other incidents.

But, she couldn’t tell anyone about it at the time because “sexual harassment and stalking were terms that didn’t exist” in the early ‘60s.

In 2019, Stuart was forced to carry around a laminated picture of the Weasley twins from the Harry Potter movies in his wallet.

“I have to have that with me at all times. It’s in my management contract. Stupid things like that,” Stuart said on the BBC Introducing podcast.

#14 Johnny Cash’s Pitch For A Jesus Movie

Archives discovered by Jonathan Holiff — the son of Johnny Cash’s former manager — revealed the late singer’s devotion to his religion.

“As he became more famous, Johnny realized he had this platform through which he can talk about his relationship with God,” said a journalist who received the confidential email from Holiff. 

“Johnny wanted to do a film about the life of Jesus and spend his own money on it… Saul was trying to gently tell him he wasn’t sure this was the greatest idea because there’s a lot of people out there who aren’t Christian.”

At the end of the day, Johnny fired Saul.

“I know one of these actors was shooting a film in the Middle East for the past several months — and he hasn’t auditioned for anything in more than 7 years,” read the tweet.

#25 Kim Kardashian’s Flour “Incident”

Back in 2012, a PETA activist threw flour at the mother-of-four, since the organization previously condemned her for wearing real fur, as reported by the New York Post.

Turns out, that was just advertising at its finest.

Kim’s former media strategist, Sheeraz Hasan, said it was a staged effort to help promote the perfume she was launching.

In The Kardashians: Billion Dollar Dynasty, he claimed he said, “Okay, this is what’s going to happen: you’re going to be fine, you’re going to be safe, but we’re going to create a media moment. If we create media gold, guess what’s going to happen? Everyone’s going to be talking about your perfume, everyone’s going to buy it.”
