If we put all prejudices aside and think sensibly, we can notice one interesting thing. We all, regardless of our status, perform some actions that seem strange to others. Someone wears their hair all the time and imitates the manners of their idol, someone adds baby food to spicy guacamole sauce and considers this the norm. For others, it may not only surprise, but even annoy.
These celebrities are the same people in ordinary life as you and I, so they also have their own habits that not everyone will understand. Interesting? Then let's start.
Victoria Beckham
To keep the skin of the former “peppercorn”, and now a fashion designer and wife of the most eminent football player in Great Britain, smooth and silky, she rubs the entire surface of her legs and arms with a moisturizer, and then puts socks on them.
Teri Hatcher
For some time now, the "desperate housewife" has been in the habit of taking red wine baths. Are you interested in the reason for such an original procedure? She is simple. Thus, Teri is fighting with age.
Eminem
The rapper, wherever he has to rest after performances, tightly curtains all the windows of his room in order to fall asleep in absolutely impenetrable darkness.
Cameron Diaz
The actress has been opening doors for several years in a row exclusively with her elbows. This is her way (quite strangely) to deal with bouts of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Simon Cowell
The British celebrity, TV presenter and showman performs his daily morning ritual: he climbs a tree. This habit has been developed in him since childhood.
Jessica Simpson
Anti-nicotine chewing gum is intended for people who have such a bad habit as smoking to get rid of their addiction with its help. All the more surprising is Jessica's obsession with this chewing gum. She has never smoked in her life!
Demmy Moor
If you were not impressed with the wine bath, then now you will definitely feel uncomfortable. Kinodiva hangs herself with leeches in order for them to suck out all the toxins and impurities directly from her blood!
Catherine Zeta-Jones
The actress carefully monitors the whiteness of her teeth. She rubs fresh strawberries every day and brushes her teeth with this gruel. Such a strange approach to oral hygiene.
Sometimes people have habits or fears that are inexplicable from a logical point of view, and famous people are no exception. The famous people we love often act just as bizarre as mere mortals.
We present to you weirdest celebrity habits.
Olivia Munn's beautiful eyelashes are the result of the efforts of beauty specialists. The star of the series suffers from a mental illness called "trichotillomania" - this is when a patient pulls out hair on his head, face and other parts of the body (and some of them then eat it). The actress managed to almost completely get rid of this habit, but in difficult circumstances it becomes difficult for her to control herself.
9. Victoria Beckham
The former Spice Girls member and wife of football star David Beckham has a healthy habit of moisturizing the skin of her hands and feet in this way: she puts a thick layer of cosmetic on them and wears socks on top. And on the hands too. She also washes her hair once a week with milk and carefully stores all the nails cut off during her life. But her husband, once on the bench, has a bad habit of biting his nails.
8. Terry Hatcher
The Desperate Housewives star fights aging by taking red wine baths and never gets into cars equipped with airbags. And after six in the evening she eats only vegan food. As a matter of principle, Terry Hatcher doesn't want to get himself an e-mail.
7. Eminem
The stern Detroit rapper, arriving at the hotel, demands that his room be immersed in complete darkness at night. To do this, the hotel staff sticks a reflective film on the glass and carefully draws the curtains. There should also be speakers in the room to broadcast ambient music during the singer's sleep.
6. Sandra Bullock
Hollywood actress Sandra Bullock was named the most beautiful woman of 2015 by People magazine. The secret to her smooth and radiant skin is the use of an anti-hemorrhoid product as a facial ointment. The actress has a funny phobia: she is afraid of germs and therefore never pays in cash so as not to get infected. She demands a brand new towel every time she showers. And to attract good luck, once a day, be sure to eat something fish.
5. Cameron Diaz
The star suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and, due to fear of germs, opens every door with only her elbows. Another actress, although she is a big tidy woman, never uses deodorants: she believes that people start to smell worse from them.
4. Lady Gaga
Perhaps it seemed to you that the appearance of a singer from a giant egg during one of the stage performances was incomprehensible or superfluous. But the singer herself was so delighted with the egg that she keeps it at home and climbs inside when she needs to sleep or think carefully. She also eats carrots immediately when she wakes up in the morning, makes beer foot baths to soften her skin, and never flies on planes on Fridays.
3. Jessica Simpson
The actress never smoked, but this fact did not save her from nicotine addiction: she became addicted to chewing gum, with which smokers try to get rid of addiction.
2. Demi Moore
Sometimes the ways Hollywood celebrities stay young and beautiful can be quite bizarre, and Demi Moore is no exception. To detoxify her body, she wraps herself in leeches and allows them to suck her blood. But her other recipe for beauty is less extreme - to avoid overeating, the singer necessarily eats three cups of high-fiber bran during the day.
1. Katy Perry
The list of ten unusual habits and bad phobias of the stars was headed by the singer, who is so afraid of holes in her teeth that she carries twenty toothbrushes with her everywhere. She brushes her teeth six times a day. But why she needs exactly twenty grand is a mystery. She also loves to collect the hair of her craft friends and is the proud owner of Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift curls.
Take, for example, Schiller. This man could only work if he had a few rotten apples on his chair.
But Haydn could not start work without putting on his finger, his family jewelry - a precious diamond ring. After all, his main habit was to consider this how much during work.
The great Wagner also had certain oddities. He believed that nothing more than shreds of bright silk, which he diligently laid out on all the attributes of furniture that were in the room in which he worked, helped him to compose another brilliant piece of music. In addition to contemplating the bright mosaic that formed around him, Wagner liked to take the fabric in his hands, examine it, crumple it and pull it in every possible way. Perhaps this helped him to forget and go headlong into creativity.
But the writer Emile Zola acted differently: when he wanted his work to be as productive as possible, he simply tied himself tightly to a chair with a rope. Apparently, this was done so that even the body of the writer realized that in this situation there was nothing left but to create something masterpiece.
Charlotte Brontë, known worldwide as the author of Jane Eyre, periodically interrupted her creative process to peel potatoes.
But the poet Edgar Allan Poe could torment himself for hours, watching a blank sheet lying in front of him on the desk. Perhaps it was some form of meditation?
Maeterlinck acted according to a similar algorithm. He discovered a very useful morning ritual for himself. If the generally accepted opinion in society is that morning exercises are useful, then this genius of the pen considered it more productive to spend the morning - to sit at a desk for three hours, even if not a single useful thought visited him. It probably helped him concentrate and tune in to great work throughout the day.
Dumas Jr. acted according to the well-known principle - good work must begin with a good dinner. Therefore, the first thing he liked to do was to have a good meal several times, sometimes in the morning he ate five breakfasts.
His father also had his own characteristics - he wrote his works exclusively on leaves of a special square shape. Sometimes it even happened that he had to interrupt the process of creating a work, not because of the lack of an idea to continue the plot, but simply because there was no necessary paper at home.
But George Sand was different from most typical women and acted according to the classical principles of what is now fashionable to call time management - she worked exactly until 11:00. If at 10:30 she finished writing a novel, she immediately took on another, since she had to devote another half hour to work.
Even Schubert, who, unfortunately, lived only 31 years old, managed to develop an unusual habit during his unfairly short life - before bringing his next musical creation to the public, he would definitely reproduce it, but not an ordinary piece of music, but on a comb.
For many centuries, sages and scientists have been trying to understand the nature of man, his deepest essence. It cannot be said that it was completely unsuccessful, because we are the descendants of a huge and great intellectual heritage in the form of an infinite number of scientific works and teachings about a person, his psyche, the nature of his motives and actions. However, paradoxically, the most seemingly ordinary phenomena, or rather their “root”, cannot be explained even by the most experienced experts.
It is quite obvious that during sleep a person unconsciously assumes one or another position. But what makes this unconscious choose this or that position is a mystery that has been trying to solve for a very long time, but so far to no avail. There are various theories on this subject: some scientists associate the sleeping position with the characteristics of a person’s character, while others argue that the posture depends on the specifics of dreams. Whatever it was, they still did not come to a consensus.
From childhood, each of us knows that picking your nose is not good. Nevertheless, no matter how aesthetic this habit was, it turned out to be very useful. According to one English newspaper, picking your nose stimulates the brain. Therefore, perhaps by getting rid of this "bad" habit, you missed the chance to become the second Einstein. Other scientists claim that eating goats boosts immunity. Strong statement. Of course, we will not check it.
There are a great many interpretations, but, of course, the theory of sexual desire is considered traditional. She says that a kiss is a symbolic sign of sexual connection. There are alternative opinions: many believe that a kiss is, first of all, an expression of admiration and respect. However, what actually the subconscious goal is pursued by people, indulging in these love caresses, is unknown. You have also probably heard that kissing is good for immunity. So kiss well!
By their very nature, superstitions are pagan, and may be ecclesiastical. If you look closely, it is not difficult to notice that the word superstition consists of 2 words: faith and turmoil. Superstition - belief in the vain (vain, empty, having no true value). Interpretations of superstitions are extremely contradictory. For some, a black cat that ran across the road - to success, while for others - to a continuous series of misfortunes. The only common sense that can be learned from this is that all these prejudices are not worth our attention, since psychosomatics can turn life into a real nightmare.
Why are some people so desperate to help those in need? Why are so many of these people able to give the last thing they have in the name of charity? Psychologists identify several factors, but the main one is a special personality type: some people are much kinder and more humane than others from birth, so a low level of egocentricity pushes them to such actions. Other scientists argue that altruism is a way of expressing one's deepest feelings and thoughts. But exact data about what pushes people to impartial and selfless help to their neighbors is not yet in psychological theory.
We spend almost one third of our lives in sleep. Most people dream every day, and some even several times a night. Science has long figured out how the process of falling asleep occurs, how the behavior of our body changes during sleep, and many other similar things. However, scientists are very reluctant to talk about the psychology of dreams, referring to the fact that this is not their prerogative. However, there are some interesting theories. One of them belongs to Sigmund Freud, who argued that dreams are a reflection of our deepest desires, especially sexual ones. But to explain what dreams mean, the plot of which goes beyond the existing reality, Uncle Freud, unfortunately, did not bother.
The stage of puberty is one of the most difficult periods in a person's life. No wonder it is also called a turning point. Most adolescents endure it with great difficulty, since this concerns not only physical maturation, but also moral. The pubertal stage (as it is also called) is the period of formation of the personality of a teenager, the transition to a completely new worldview. Often, all this is accompanied by throwing from one extreme to another, nervous breakdowns and conflicts with the environment (especially adults). What is most surprising is that none of the animals, even our closest "relatives" of primates, have such a phenomenon.
This feature is one of the most inexplicable mysteries of the human body. What is their role and whether it exists at all is still unknown to science. Only a few scientists say that this is the strongest genetic inheritance. However, they could not explain this in detail.
At first glance, it seems that this is a completely understandable and mediocre human reaction to something fun, and therefore it is pointless to talk about it. But everything is not so simple. Laughter has very deep roots and is a reflection of personality traits. No wonder they say, they say, tell me what a person is laughing at, and I will tell you who he is. Indeed, each of us has an individual sense of humor and, most importantly, an absolutely unique laugh. Many scientists say that a person's character can be determined by laughter and the manner of laughing. Much literature has been devoted to such studies.
Shame is a strong emotion, the functional meaning of which is to regulate human behavior in accordance with norms. However, in the conditions of modern life, the norms for different people have become different. For some, one behavior seems unthinkable, for others it is in the order of things. And it is precisely by the ability of a person to blush that we can still comprehend his essence. After all, we are not able to hide this strangeness. But it is possible to realize who is in front of us: a conscientious or cunning person.
No matter how much the best minds of mankind have struggled with these riddles, or tried to explain our features, there have not yet been definite answers to questions. After all, man is the most inexplicable and mysterious creature on the planet. And there are a dozen or two such oddities in us. However, researchers do not lose heart, but the human race continues to amaze.
