Celebrities are often put on a pedestal by fans for a number of reasons, that vary from talent to their influence. However, many possess their little quirks, and while most of the time they are endearing, sometimes they are straight-up weird.
As public figures, celebrities are very conscious of their appearances, and diet plays a big part in their lives. Unsurprisingly, a lot of stars are very conscious of the food they consume, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. Of course, there are a few personalities who have also developed really unusual eating habits as well. Here are seven celebrities who have openly talked about their bizarre relationship with food.
1. Jessica Biel- Eats In The Shower
Jessica Biel is a well-known actress, married to singer Justin Timberlake. The couple tied the knot in 2012, and have two sons, Silas and Phineas, together. There seems to be trouble in paradise, though.
While Biel is best known for starring in a string of popular films, the actress surprised many with a social media post a few years ago. She took to Instagram to share a photo of an empty cup and a plate in the shower, stating that she ate while showering. Biel deleted the post, but Jimmy Fallon brought it up during an interview with the Blade actress on his talk show a few months later.
“I don’t know if anybody else does this. I do not have time. I don’t have time for anything. I’m feeding him in the morning, trying to get ready and I realize I haven’t eaten, I just take it into the shower … Sometimes it’s a huge success, sometimes it’s a huge failure,” she said.
Many will share Biel’s experience of trying to balance work with motherhood. She has found a way that works for her, even if it is a little unconventional.
2. Shailene Woodley- Eats Clay
Shailene Woodley also features on this list, because her culinary habits are quite preposterous. The Divergent actress eats clay and prefers it over solid food. Woodley made this revelation back in 2014, during an interview with Into the Gloss. She added that an African cab driver helped her develop this knack for clay.
“I’ve discovered that clay is great for you because your body doesn’t absorb it, and it apparently provides a negative charge, so it bonds to negative isotopes. And, this is crazy: it also helps clean heavy metals out of your body,” said the actress.
Today reported that David Letterman brought it up on The Late Show With David Letterman that same year. The host asked her to explain the difference between clay and dirt, but The Fault in Our Stars actress could not give a satisfactory answer.
3. Kourtney Kardashian- Eats KitKat Differently
Kourtney Kardashian is known for her exploits on social media. However, the glamorous socialite’s method of eating a KitKat is sure to raise more than a few eyebrows.
In 2016, she shared a video of herself eating the chocolate. She detailed how she ate the chocolate at the ends first, followed by the sides, and then the layer on top. She then separated the individual wafers before eating them one by one.
“This tastes so much better. Like, I would never even dream to eat a Kit Kat and just, like, bite into it. I guarantee if you do it once, you will never eat a Kit Kat any other way,” she says in the video.
Kardashian went on to share another video of herself eating a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup in the same manner. The videos prove that celebrities clearly have their quirky traits.
4. Channing Tatum- Adds Cheetos to PB&J
Channing Tatum loves the classic PB&J, the time-tested sandwich with peanut butter and jelly. However, he is not above putting his own touch on it as well.
During a Q&A session on Reddit, Tatum revealed how he liked to make his sandwich. His version of the classic looks like, “Grape jelly, double portion, more than you think should actually fit on a piece of white bread.” The secret ingredient that he added here was Cheetos, to spice it up a little.
5. Ed Sheeran- Eats Ketchup with Every Meal
Ed Sheeran has delivered plenty of chartbusters as a musician, but he has a very specific dietary demand. The Shape of You singer loves ketchup so much, that he does not want to go one day without it. Moreover, he also has a tattoo of his favorite brand of sauce, Heinz.
Page Six reported that the singer makes his entourage carry the condiment with them wherever he goes. Such is his love for ketchup, he adds it to every meal- from sandwiches for breakfast, to posh dinners- Sheeran is never without it.
According to a poll back in 2017, the younger British population wanted Sheeran as their Prime Minister. The singer took to Instagram to declare that he would make ketchup compulsory everywhere.
6. Nicholas Cage- Eats Meat Based on the Animal’s Behavior
Nicholas Cage has a reputation for being an eccentric actor. His eccentricities are not just limited to his characters, but also to his diet.
He made the revelation about his food habits during an interview with The Sun in 2010. As reported by The Telegraph, Cage is very specific about the animals he eats.
“I actually choose the way I eat according to the way animals have s*x. I think fish are very dignified with s*x. So are birds. But pigs, not so much. So I don’t eat pig meat or things like that. I eat fish and fowl,” he said.
Cage is one of the few celebrities who has embraced his more bizarre side. His food habits prove this beyond a shadow of a doubt.
7. Jennifer Lawrence- Adds Chili to Pizza
Jennifer Lawrence is a well-established actress, who carved a niche for herself with the Hunger Games series. She quickly became a favorite among the fans, owing to her bubbly personality. However, her favorite dish in the world was a little intimidating.
Lawrence sat down for an interview with Glamour in 2016. The actress went into depth, as she described her favorite dish.
“It’s called a chili pizza sandwich. You have a piece of pizza, you put chili in it, Southern chili, with noodles, and then another piece of pizza, and then you eat it like a sandwich,” she said.
Jennifer Lawrence and the other celebrities mentioned above are unafraid to be themselves. From the screen to their real lives, they have left an impact and perhaps given a few fans some ideas to try different foods.
