Yahoo Lifestyle 11 Baffling Celeb Moments Where They Forgot Common Sense
We all have our moments when our common sense seems to be taking a coffee break. The results can range from a little silly to low-key scary.
Here are 11 baffling celeb moments when they forgot common sense:
1.In a 2024 TikTok video, Alicia Silverstone ate a random, unidentified piece of fruit from someone's yard in England. Fans were concerned that the mystery fruit could possibly be solanum pseudo capsicum (aka Jerusalem cherry or winter cherry), which is poisonous.
When Alicia didn't post another update, fans grew worried. However, the next day, she shared a throwback picture on Instagram and captioned it, "Alive and well! Don’t worry… I didn’t swallow 😉😛"

2.In a 2024 Instagram video, Ludacris drank glacier water in Alaska. Similarly to Alicia's video, he sparked concern from fans about potential health hazards.
According to the National Park Service, water from natural sources shouldn't be drunk until it's been purified because, no matter how clean it appears, it may contain parasites, viruses, and bacteria. Drinking unpurified natural water can lead to waterborne diseases.
In a follow-up video on Twitter, Ludacris said, "For everybody asking me how that glacier water really tasted. When I tell y'all I am a water snob, it was the best-tasting water I've ever had in my life, and as I drank it, I felt like every cell in my human body was being hydrated and rejuvenated at the same damn time…Listen, maII'mhereere. I feel like Superan.”
Here's his video:
3.In 2024, Dakota Johnson told Variety, "I also, like, discovered Celsius on day one of filming the short [Loser Baby], and I didn't know that it was like Red Bull. I thought it was, like, a natural drink. I was like, ‘I'm so inspired. I'm awake all night long. I'm not sleeping...' And it's because I was having, like, two Celsius a day. I thought it was vitamins, 'cause when you read Celsius, on the back, it's just like, 'B12 and Vitamin A...' I thought it was vitamins. I didn't realize that I was basically overdosing on caffeine."
She said she figured it out after her costume designer told her she was "not well" because she was "basically having, like, four Red Bulls."
A 12-ounce can of Celsius contains 200 milligrams of caffeine, whereas a Red Bull of the same size contains 107 milligrams of caffeine. For comparison, an eight-ounce cup of coffee contains a bit under 100 milligrams of caffeine.
According to the FDA, 400 milligrams of caffeine is the maximum amount an average person can consume per day without negative effects, but the amount each person can safely consume depends on other factors.
Also, Celsius says "essential energy" on the front of the can.
4.On a Season 1 episode of The Kardashians, Kendall Jenner made her own snack, but the haphazard way she cut a cucumber worried many people, including her mom.
Following criticism, Kendall retweeted a screenshot of the moment and poked fun at herself.

7.Speaking on a panel in 2017, Hugh Jackman reportedly said that, when he was cast as Wolverine in X-Men, he didn't know wolverines were real. He said, "I literally, embarrassingly, did about two weeks of research on wolves. I was rehearsing for three weeks, and I was shooting, so I was kind of on my own. I remember going past an IMAX in Toronto, and there was an IMAX documentary about wolves, and so I thought, 'I'll go and see that.'"
He said that, during filming, director Bryan Singer was confused by some of his acting choices.
Hugh said, "He said, 'Are you sort of walking funny? What's going on?' And I said, 'I've been doing this thing with wolves,' and he goes, 'You know you're not a wolf, right?'
I said, 'Well, there's no such thing as a wolverine.' [Bryan said,] 'Go to the zoo, dude.' I literally didn't know it existed.'"
8.Christina Aguilera reportedly once asked, "So, where’s the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?"
The festival is, of course, held in Cannes, France.
9.In a since-deleted 2019 Instagram video of her nighttime skincare routine to promote her skincare line, Millie Bobby Brown seemingly only pretended to use her products on camera. Some commenters pointed out that she still appeared to be wearing eye makeup after supposedly washing her face.
In a since-deleted Instagram post addressing criticism, Millie said that she was "still learning the best way to share [her] routines."
She said, "I thought doing a quick video replicating my personal process for that night was okay, but that's not what was conveyed. I appreciate all of your feedback on this journey."
10.Promoting her 2012 song "Elephant" on Daybreak, Alexandra Burke claimed she was bringing the common phrase "elephant in the room" to the UK.
Per Yahoo, the phrase "elephant in the room" is credited to Ivan Krylov, a Russian poet, in 1814 and appeared in the British Journal of Education at least 100 years ago.
In 2021, the clip resurfaced and went viral on Instagram.
Alexandra told Tyla, "Yeah, it’s quite funny! It makes people smile. It’s such a light-hearted page to make people laugh, which is what we’ve all really needed over the last year or so. We all need to have a good laugh, and if an Instagram page can provide that to people, then we’re all winning at life!”

11.And finally, when Sophia Umansky (a Buying Beverly Hills cast member and Kyle Richards's daughter) moved into her college dorm on a Season 9 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she didn't know you had to clean a toilet.
