11 Celebrities With Weird Habits and Rituals That Can Make You Grin in Wonderment

As humans, we all have different quirks and habits that we’ve acquired through the years. These habits help us in different ways — they calm us down, make us feel good about ourselves, and sometimes get the good vibrations going. And for celebrities, this is no different. Whether these habits freak you out or make you laugh, what matters is we realize that no matter how much fame and money there is, celebrities also have their own quirks.

Bright Side is listing celebrities and their fascinating habits that may leave you thinking, “Wow, is this for real?”

2. Jessica Simpson only brushes her teeth thrice a week.

Despite her pearly white, Hollywood smile, Jessica Simpson revealed that she does not brush her teeth daily but only three times a week.

It’s really weird but I have great breath.”

3. Jennifer Lawrence pees in sinks.

In an interview, the Hunger Games star revealed that she doesn’t mind peeing in the sink. This is, of course, when the situation calls for it. She said: “I’ve peed in some sinks. When 2 girls go into a bathroom, someone’s gotta take the sink. One could wait, but if the one waiting is me, she’s going to the sink.”

4. Pamela Anderson’s reflection phobia
