Content Warning: This post discusses restrictive eating and extreme dieting.
Celebrity trends and wellness fads have existed in pop culture for as long as I can remember. But when the two come together, it can create some serious complications. So, whether it’s dieting or skincare, it’s always best to follow the advice of actual medical professionals, and not, say…actors who haven’t taken a science class since high school.
With that in mind, here’s some wild stuff that famous folks have said and tried when it comes to their health. And, boy, it’s a lot.
1. Tom Brady suggested that drinking large quantities of water could help prevent sunburn.
2. Kourtney Kardashian Barker shared claims that drinking her husband’s semen might help increase her fertility.
3. Shailene Woodley said that eating clay “is one of the best things you can put in your body” and that we should be sunbathing our genitals.
4. Beyoncé went two weeks without eating solid food.
5. Christian Louboutin suggested that wearing high heels can help women orgasm.
6. Megan Fox said in 2010 that drinking apple cider vinegar before meals keeps you slim by cleansing “out your system entirely.”
7. Kesha drank her own pee.
8. Kim Kardashian was smeared with her own blood.
9. Josh Brolin claimed he sunburned his asshole trying the “perineum sunning” trend.
10. Adrianna Lima’s diet before the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
11. Gisele Bündchen allegedly said she thought sunscreen was “poison.”
12. Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop told women to put $66 jade eggs in their vaginas — and got sued for it.
13. Brandi Glanville seemingly gave herself a chemical burn from using Nair as a “beauty hack” for her face.
I beg of you, don’t try any of these at home. Ever.
