4. Jeremy Renner was a former makeup artist.

While known for his action-packed roles and movies, Jeremy Renner may surprise fans when they find out that he used to be a makeup artist. In an interview, he confidently said that painting faces was not a difficult gig for him back then because of his experience in theater and drawing.

5. Liam Payne has a silverware phobia.

One Direction’s Liam Payne avoids using utensils in restaurants and homes for fear that they are dirty. During an interview, he admitted that he doesn’t like eating with spoons that are not his.

6. Emma Stone created a PowerPoint presentation to convince her parents to let her get into acting.

At age 14, Emma convinced her parents to allow her and her mom to move to Hollywood to pursue her dream of being an actress. Aptly titled “Project Hollywood,” her PowerPoint presentation discussed how she would move to California, get homeschooled, and audition for roles in movies and TV shows.

7. Nicole Kidman has a fear of butterflies.

Nicole developed her phobia of butterflies when she was a child in her homeland of Australia. She shared that when she would come home from school and there was a butterfly on their front gate, she would avoid it by climbing over the fence and crawling around to the side of the house. Her fear was so real that she even tried to face her fears by walking into a butterfly cage at the American Museum of Natural History, to no avail.

8. Sandra Bullock is allergic to horses.

Some people may be allergic to cats or dogs, but Sandra suffers an unusual allergy to horses. She discovered this condition in 1996 while she was filming the movie Two If By Sea, where she had to ride a horse.

9. Adam Driver refuses to watch himself on-screen.

Adam’s rule to never watch himself on camera was the result of watching a pilot episode of Girls, where he played the leading man to Lena Dunham’s character. He said he noticed all the mistakes he made. The fact that he couldn’t change them because they were already there is the reason behind this rule.
