Creepiest Celebrities in Hollywood
Hollywood has brought us entertainment for over a century. Heck, most of us probably grew up in front of a screen watching our favorite actors. We grew up with them! From Charlie Chaplin to Brad Pitt, we love to go to the theater or sit at home and watch amazing films.
There’s no doubt that Hollywood has a plethora of colorful characters, and that’s what makes the entertainment so good (and sometimes the tabloids too). We have stars like Julia Roberts and Reese Witherspoon, who stole our hearts playing girl-next-door sweethearts we could trust. Unfortunately, for every one of those, we have celebs who are so out-there that their face is enough to make our skin crawl.
However, the story isn't so nice for everyone. For others, it’s something much darker, and something that Hollywood would rather keep on the down-low. Recently, we’ve learned that there’s another side of Hollywood that keeps harassment and abuse behind the curtain. As long as it's not in the public eye, they just don't care. Some of these people have done some seriously messed up things that caused them to be rejected from Hollywood completely. The sad thing is, some of them were only recently discovered as being not-so-great human beings.
Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise is super creepy and weird, and we all realized this when he hopped on Oprah’s couch in 2005. What really makes him weird is the fact that he’s an avid Scientologist.
His “religion” has caused issues in almost all of his relationships. Most notably, Katie Holmes divorced the movie star to protect the couple’s daughter Suri from Scientology.
Kevin Spacey
Kevin Spacey was an acting favorite for decades, but all that is in the past. Now, he’s one of the creepiest people in Hollywood. Kevin Spacey sexually assaulted Anthony Rapp while he was 14.
Others soon came out, admitting that they had been sexually assaulted by Kevin Spacey. Spacey then released a sorry excuse for an apology that focused more on the fact that he wanted to live as a gay man rather than apologizing for assaulting a minor. A couple of his victims have since taken their own lives.
Angelina Jolie
Before Angelina Jolie was a mother of six, she had a much different personality. She had a weird relationship with her brother that included kissing him on the red carpet.
When she accepted her award that year, she professed love for him in a (possibly) not so platonic way. Jolie was also in a relationship with Billy Bob Thornton, and they kept a vial of blood around their necks. Gross and creepy.
Jared Leto
Jared Leto has always been a little…strange. All of his oddities came to light when he was getting into character as Joker for The Suicide Squad.
His co-stars reported that during filming, they received creepy gifts including a live rat for Margot Robbie, a box of bullets for Will Smith, and a video that included a dead hog for the whole cast.
Courtney Love
Courtney Love has done her share of horrible things including falsely accusing Dave Grohl of seducing her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, but that’s just the start of it.
Courtney Love has a weird obsession with noses, and she has admitted that she’s “all about mating for a nose.” She’s also not afraid to flash audiences at other people’s concerts and show up drunk and naked to interviews.
Helena Bonham Carter
Helena Bonham Carter is a fantastic actress, but what’s with all the creepy lady roles? From Marla in Fight Club to Bellatrix in Harry Potter, she takes roles most actresses would avoid.
She was married to Tim Burton (also creepy), but the couple didn’t act like a normal couple. They had separate areas, and he would visit her occasionally. She states, “You never have to compromise emotionally or feel invaded.”
Jackie Earle Haley
Jackie Earle Haley hasn’t done anything creepy per say, but he has played roles that made audiences question what’s going on.
Many of his roles involve him playing creepy, child molester-y characters. That alone is enough to land him on this list for its creep factor.
Nicolas Cage
Nicolas Cage is hilarious, but his weird behavior comes off super creepy. Other than his creepy demeanor, he also buys a lot of stuff most wouldn’t imagine buying. For example, he purchased an octopus to help improve his acting supposedly.
He’s also known for his temper, and he had a major freak-out in Bucharest with him saying he’d “die of honor” and “I’ll die right now!!” except there were a few expletives added.
Lady Gaga
Creepy or not, Lady Gaga has managed to create a ridiculously successful career for herself in the music business. Between numerous awards for her work, to the fact that she's one of the best-selling artists of all time, there's no denying that she knows a thing or two about music. And there's also no denying that the woman is flat-out bonkers.
Where do we even begin with Lady Gaga? Maybe the all-meat dress she wore to the 2010 MTV Music Video Awards? Or what about her plans to create a perfume using her own blood? There was also the time she got a tattoo on stage at one of her concerts. Take your pick--Lady Gaga is nothing if not bizarre.
Harvey Weinstein
Harvey Weinstein was creepy before the reports of sexual assault by numerous women. Apparently, it was Hollywood’s worst kept secret, which is evident from Seth MacFarlane’s 2013 Oscars joke.
After reading the nominees for Best Supporting Actress, MacFarlane said, “Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein.” Later, MacFarlane explained how he’d heard one of his friends told him about the numerous advances from Weinstein.
