14 Mind-Blowing Facts About Celebrities That I Just Learned For The First Time This Week

1.Every single day on the set of Barbie, Margot Robbie gave a pink gift to her costar Ryan Gosling. Gosling told Variety that the marvelous gifts were "all beach-related, like puka shells [and] a sign that said: 'Pray for surf.'" Like...could you love Margot anymore????

2.And the hilarious way Robbie and Gosling met, you ask? They appeared on The Graham Norton Show in 2017 (along with other guests Harrison Ford and Reese Witherspoon). Robbie talked about giving her Suicide Squad costars tattoos, and on a whim, decided to give one to one of Graham Norton's team members.

3.At the 2023 Met Gala, Rihanna — famously known for being the star of every Met Gala — wore jewelry that most likely cost wayyyyyy more than your house, rocking Cartier jewelry that cost $25 million. According to Vogue, she chose "Bulgari’s High Jewelry necklace in platinum with five pear diamonds, 118 Akoya cultured pearls, seven pear diamonds, 109 round diamonds, 561 fancy shape diamonds, and pavé-set diamonds."

4.Back in 2021 when Britney Spears announced her engagement to Sam Asghari on Instagram, Octavia Spencer notoriously commented: "Make him sign a prenup." At first, Britney Spears fans dragged Spencer, but since her recent divorce from Asghari in 2023, they're giving Spencer nothing but praise.

5.During one of Taylor Swift's concerts in LA for her Eras Tour, she took a break to do something so, so heartwarming. In the middle of her song "22," Swift went to the front of the stage and gave her iconic black hat to Kobe Bryant's daughter, Bianka.

And speaking of the Eras tour, there was a celeb attendee that made Swifties go positively bananas: Swift's ex-bestie Karlie Kloss. This is pretty darn wild, considering their messy breakup as friends.

6.According to Jane Fonda, during the infamous slap scene in Monster-in-Law (2005), Jennifer Lopez actually scratched her with her big diamond ring. "Jennifer had this enormous diamond ring," Fonda said on The Drew Barrymore Show. "When she slapped me, it cut open across my eyebrow. She's never apologized."

7.Lil Nas X's "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" was partly inspired by the 2017 film Call Me by Your Name. He said: "The storyline happens this one night in the summer where I take a break from working on [Montero], and I visit this guy who's an artist. He's like: 'Come visit my house!' and I was like: 'Okay.' I get there, and I'm like: 'Oh, I like this guy a lot.' And the next day, I started writing the song."

8.Whitney Houston was a producer on The Princess Diaries and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, and she treated everyone on set (especially those younger than her) with genuine love and respect. BuzzFeed Community user dianaquinn recalled her wholesome encounter with Houston on the set of The Princess Diaries 2. "My mom worked on set for the sequel and happened to mention that it was my birthday," she said. "Whitney took some of the balloons that can be seen on screen during Mia's bachelorette party and told her to give them to me as a present. It was the best birthday ever!"

9.When Fleetwood Mac went on their Tusk Tour from 1979–1980, there was a horrible incident on stage. According to member Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham threw his electric guitar at her during a show. "He threw a guitar at me, and I ducked — I'm that fast," Nicks said. "But Christine [McVie's] vantage point, she'd see it all — so, she took it to heart that night. Lindsey left the stage, I chased him down, but Christine beat me to him."

10.Janelle Monáe is notorious for hosting wild, fun, and sexually adventurous courtyard parties (which mainly inspired her 2023 album, The Age of Pleasure). In an interview with Rolling Stone, she said: "I have a whole spreadsheet with 50 to almost 100 experiences that I've had [at these parties]. I wear red lipstick at these parties — I've had moments where if me and a girl or an energy want to engage, you're going to see lipstick." To be one of Monáe's Lipstick Lovers? Sign me the heck UP (and also send me her spreadsheet, because oh my goodness gracious).

11.One time when Keanu Reeves met a starstruck fan, he did the ever-classic Matrix dodge move for them. "I remember seeing Keanu Reeves in New York a long time ago when I was a young (and probably very annoying) pre-teen. I yelled out: 'Yo, Neo!' and then I mimicked the bullet-dodge motion from The Matrix," Reddit user u/MrMandu recalled. "He looked back at me, laughed, and mirrored the same move in acknowledgment. It's such a great memory because I feel like anyone would have been justified in getting annoyed and shrugging a kid off, but instead, he was a good sport and humored me. I'll never forget it."

12.The infamous Rick Owens leather jacket that Dan Levy wore in the pilot episode of Schitt's Creek was actually his own. He told Vogue: "[The Rick Owens leather jacket] was mine from my own closet. I bought it with my first paycheck. I went to the store in New York, I swiped my credit card, my hand was shaking — and I've worn it every day since."

13.There are many famous musicians out there who've paid subtle tributes to great artists who came before them. Seeing these famous musicians honor them never fails to move me, especially when it comes to female celebs. Beyoncé notably honored Tina Turner at the Kennedy Center in 2005 by rocking the famous flame dress Turner was known for wearing in the late '70s.

14.And finally: In Glass Onion, writer and director Rian Johnson confirmed that the last shot of Janelle Monáe's character (Helen) reflected the renowned Mona Lisa painting. The Mona Lisa played a huge role in the film, with Edward Norton's aloof character (Edward) bragging about owning it to his "closest friends." Johnson told the Wrap: "The notion of squinting and seeing something different was baked into the structure of [the final shot]. Everything Edward says when he's talking about the Mona Lisa in front of everybody [fuses with Helen] at the end. She burned the Mona Lisa, but the Mona Lisa lives on in Helen."
