Some celebrity photos are iconic and others are so bizarre, they feel like they were generated by an AI robot with flair.
I scavenged the internet to find some of the strangest, unhinged celebrity pics out there — and trust me, they did not disappoint. Here are 14 of the strangest celebrity photos that honestly feel made up (but aren't):
Simon Cowell holding Hello Kitty toast backstage at the 2002 Teen Choice Awards. TV's crankiest talent judge holding a piece of toast with Hello Kitty's face on it is the crossover event we never expected.
Pre-Transformers Megan Fox getting a caricature at the World of Disney Store opening. How 2004 of her.
Jack Black taking a breezy bike ride to the Late Night with David Letterman show in 2005. In true Jack Black fashion, he rolled up in boxers and sandals, giving New York commuters the most unforgettable pre-show entrance ever.
This photo of Zac Efron taking a hugeeee leap of faith during a 2006 High School Musical press event in Australia. The cast was posing together, but Zac? He took it to the next level—literally—by launching himself into the air. It's giving "Troy Bolton's final form."
Noah Centineo doing...whatever this pose is, at the 2019 Midsommar screening.
Justin Bieber holding a comically large tennis racket at the 2009 Arthur Ashe Kids Day. This is peak 2000s energy.
Nicki Minaj eating a turkey leg while performing on Good Morning America in 2011. The bright outfit and the sheer power stance lives rent-free in our minds.
Sharon Osbourne losing a tooth on live TV. During a 2020 episode of The Talk, Sharon's dental implant literally popped out mid-conversation. She laughed it off and kept going like it was just another day — iconic, unbothered, and just a little bit unhinged.
Ariana Grande cementing her hands for her 2011 track "Put Your Hearts Up." Why Grande did this to promote her debut single, we'll never understand. But honestly, what's more random than casting your hands in cement for a bubblegum pop song you'll eventually disown?
Will Ferrell casually holding a falcon. As part-owner for the Los Angeles Football Club, Will Ferrell participated in pre-game rituals by holding the team's falcon mascot in 2019. Just another day in the life.
Steve Carell dressing as Gru on The Ellen Show in 2017. We all knew Steve Carell voiced the iconic villain in Despicable Me, but seeing him fully commit to the role with prosthetics and a bald cap? That's next-level dedication.
Adam Sandler showing up to the 2025 Oscars in full dad attire is the kind of Academy Awards energy we didn't know we needed — and honestly? He's starting the "Adam Sandler Core" movement and we're so here for it.
Miley Cyrus "posing" at Jingle Ball 2013 is giving...something. We're not quite sure what, but we do know that the Bangerz era was truly unmatched for its peak chaos.
Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian visiting an Australian children's hospital in 2006. The fact that there's almost no context to these pics online makes this trio feel all the more like a fever dream.
So, did you find these photos just as random as I did? Have you seen some of these chaotic moments before, or did they unlock a new core memory? Let us know in the comments below!
