    Hugh Jackman, Amanda Seyfried, And 16 Other Celebrities That Are Allegedly Sooooo Much Stranger Than We Think

    “No one is allowed to make eye contact with him.”

    Sometimes, celebrities do things that make you think, "Wow, they really are just like us."

    However, they're sometimes weirder than we are. Reddit user ParameciaAntic asked, "What celebrity is weirder than they seem?" and the answers just might shock you:

    Disclaimer: As I mentioned, these answers are coming from people on the internet. People on the internet like to... let's just say "embellish" things, so take their stories with a grain of salt. 

    1. "My dad met Jeff Goldblum on set once. He’s outwardly a weird guy, but in person? He's apparently straight-up zonkers wild! According to my dad, he kissed my dad’s forehead, gave him a noogie, put on his hat, and skipped around. Then, after my dad shook his hand, he didn’t let go and kept shaking it as he talked about everything from space travel to Pokémon for like an hour. All while they kept shaking hands. My dad is a wild, awesome dude, too, so I’m sure they just hit it off, which is why it escalated into craziness."

    2. "Billy Bob Thornton seems like he'd be a pretty average older white man from the South. He's allegedly a very odd man, a germaphobe to Howard Hughes levels, and just very weirdly intense even when not working."

    3. "Hugh Jackman is in an organization that totally isn't a cult. Quote from his Wikipedia: 'He meditates daily and incorporates teachings from the spiritually eclectic School of Practical Philosophy.' Read their description and come to your own conclusions. I know what alarm bells ring in my head reading that word salad."

    4. "Larry Hagman (J.R. Ewing on Dallas and Major Nelson on I Dream of Jeannie) didn't speak on Sundays. He communicated entirely through whistles, gestures, and notes."

    5. "Tom Brady. Yikes."

    6. "Everybody thinks that Joe Rogan is a self-centered narcissist who is incapable of self-reflection and empathy. And that he’s surrounded by 'yes' men that keep him isolated from reality. That’s just not true. After working with him for a couple of years, I found out he’s a way bigger piece of shit than you can even imagine."

    7. "MrBeast."

    8. "I don't know how weird Jared Leto seems, but he is pretty damn weird."

    9. "Katy Perry. She literally admitted that she used to carry locks of Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus's hair in her purse. Like, she actually asked them for their hair and kept it like a serial killer lmao. So f*ing weird."

    10. "Madonna. I get a vibe that she’s pretty detached and awkward, and she compensates with a strong persona that can come across as abrasive in certain contexts. Also, you don’t publish a book like Sex when she did (at the peak of her career) without being a bit of an oddball. I’m not hating on it, but it was a pretty strange career move."

    11. "Anyone who pushes a candle called 'This Smells Like My Vagina' is definitely weird."

    12. "Leonardo DiCaprio. Not just the 'young models' thing, but he gives off weird vibes overall. In candid pictures, he looks like he doesn’t always have good hygiene."

    13. "Christopher Walken seems genuinely weird when you look closer. I once saw a cooking show where they went to his house to cook with him. He actually [appeared to have] two personal assistant models help with it. It was odd. I also saw that he likes to claim it’s his birthday on every movie set just cause he likes cake."

    14. "Ryan Gosling. Everyone thinks he's just 'literally me' Ken doll material, but he has a band called Dead Man's Bones. They literally only sing songs about ghosts and monsters, and they perform with a children's choir. It's actually fire, but definitely an unhinged side quest."

    15. "Amanda Seyfried, in a good way. She’s very offbeat."

    16. "Henry Cavill looks like an absolute Greek god, but he is literally the biggest nerd on the planet. Dude paints Warhammer 40000 miniatures in his spare time and almost missed the call to play Superman because he was doing a raid in World of Warcraft. We love him for it, though."

    17. "Jamie Dornan collects rocks that look like potatoes."

    Lastly:

    18. "Mr. Rogers. He treats everyone he meets with kindness and respect, which is REALLY weird nowadays."
