Some Of The Most Iconic Actors Of All Time Were Actually Hiding Peculiar Personality Quirks

Sure, many of the hottest silver-screen stars could act like total professionals while the cameras were rolling. But when the filming stopped, they could be just as gross and weird as the rest of us – or worse! Yep, even timeless legends like Marlon Brando and Grace Kelly had their stranger sides. Read on to hear about all of the odd, obnoxious and even downright disturbing personality traits of your favorite Hollywood icons.

20. June Lang loved baths

Before the days of Instagram and social media, movie stars had to get creative with how they reached out to their fans. Some actors would give their beauty tips to newspapers, for example, to allow readers to emulate a bit of movie magic at home. And one such generous celeb was June Lang. In 1932 she shared the secret of her sumptuous skin with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Twice a day!

Lang told the newspaper, “Frequent baths — say twice a day — are my beauty hint.” With all that time soaking, who knows how she got anything done! The actress also revealed, “Soaping and scrubbing with a brush cleanses the pores, I find, and increases the circulation, which lays the foundation for a healthy skin.” It seemed to work for her, anyway.

19. Elvis' chimpanzee

At the height of Elvis’ career, he was offered a chimpanzee named Scatter as a pet. Yes, really! The chimp had previously been a fixture on a local Memphis TV station, but his handler wanted rid of him. So, the King valiantly stepped up and moved Scatter into Graceland. And this kicked off one of the weirdest animal-human relationships in showbusiness.

Furious George

Cute as Scatter and Elvis’ bond sounds, their time together was a rough ride. First off, the furry fella would tear up the curtains, torment visitors, bite people, and do that rather, er, unhygienic throwing thing that chimpanzees tend to do. By many accounts, Elvis did a pretty poor job of looking after the primate. Tragically, Scatter died while still in the “care” of the King and his staff.
