Celebrities have been harnessing their renown to captivate individuals since before the term “celebrity” even found its way into our language. Italian adventurer and author Giacomo Casanova, as the tales go, engaged with so many women during his journeys across 18th-century Europe that his name became synonymous with being a womanizer. Jack Nicholson might not be far behind.
Similarly, esteemed English statesman and poet Lord Byron’s prolific liaisons earned him the moniker “the Bad Boy of the 19th Century.” The roots of modern celebrity culture started to sprout in the 20th century with the advent of “radio, movies, and television, enabling celebrities to connect with audiences worldwide,” shared historian Greg Jenner with History Extra. Let’s have a look at six celebs who’ve slept with over 1000 partners.
Mick Jagger
Just like Jack Nicholson, other celebs have had a fair share of intimate encounters. Christopher Andersen, the author of Mick: The Wild Life and Mad Genius of Jagger, reveals that over the course of his extensive rock career, Mick Jagger is believed to have engaged in intimate encounters with around 4,000 women. As per Independent, the British rock icon’s romantic liaisons span from Tina Turner to Angelina Jolie, who featured in the music video for 1997’s Anybody Seen My Baby.
Allegedly smitten by Jolie, Jagger reportedly pursued her for a span of two years, yet when the moment finally arrived, he reportedly abandoned their date to be with actress Farah Fawcett, as stated by Andersen (via the Mirror). Condensing his allure into two words, one of Jagger’s past partners, therapist Natasha Terry, branded him a “s*x vampire.“
George Lazenby
Portraying one of cinema’s most iconic womanizers in 1969’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, George Lazenby proved to be a contender in his own right against James Bond. The Australian model clinched the role of 007 after remarkably convincing producers of his seasoned acting chops, despite possessing no prior experience.
His striking appearance and innate charm worked in his favor, both in securing the role and in making an impression on the opposite s*x. In a candid interview with The Guardian, the forthright Australian admitted to having shared his bed with “maybe a thousand” women.
Ric Flair
Inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice, a distinction that stands unattained by any other professional wrestler, Ric Flair, a 16-time world champion, reigns as a legend of the wrestling arena. He enjoys delving into his past (his friend and fellow wrestling veteran, Triple H, once had to nudge him to wrap up his induction speech after surpassing his allotted time).
While this typically thrills the fervent admirers of the Nature Boy, there are instances when he rues his candidness. This scenario unfolded when he disclosed the extent of his s*xual encounters in his ESPN 30 for 30 documentary — Flair asserted that he had engaged with 10,000 women.
Lamar Odom
In his revealing tell-all in 2019, Lamar Odom openly addressed the count of his s*xual partners, a number that certainly caught the attention of the media — he approximated his tally to be in excess of 2,000.
The retired NBA luminary also confessed to infidelity during his marriage to ex-wife Khloe Kardashian, a relationship that had commenced just four weeks before tying the knot. This union endured from 2009 to 2016, during which time Kardashian was well-informed about his extramarital involvements.
Janice Dickinson
Janice Dickinson has openly acknowledged having intimate relationships with a tally exceeding 1,000 men, as reported by the Evening Standard. Her fame experienced a delayed surge in the UK when she secured the runner-up position on the widely watched reality TV series, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Dickinson displayed a willingness to share anecdotes from her vivid romantic history whenever she conversed with the British media.
Dennis Rodman
Much like his estranged father, Philander Rodman Jr., Dennis Rodman has led a colorful romantic life. Philander has seemingly embodied his name over the years (asserting that he’s the father of an astonishing 29 children from 16 different women), yet his escapades dwindle when juxtaposed with those of his more renowned son.
The latter, who once dated Madonna and experienced a brief marriage with Carmen Electra from 1998 to 1999, was at the center of attention during a characteristically unconventional interview with Cheryl Johnson, a gossip columnist from Star Tribune. In their candid exchange, Rodman divulged details about his amorous history, stating that he’s been intimate with 2,000 women.
