These days, it seems like more people dream of becoming famous for fame’s sake than at any other time in the past. After all, there are loads of people who are willing to line up for hours to even get an audition to appear on a “reality” show even though those shows rarely result in lasting careers.

While there are many reasons why so many people are desperate to attain fame, one of the most notable is that there is a perception that stars are somehow better than the rest of us. While that idea may seem foolish at face value, it makes a certain amount of space that people feel that way. After all, celebrities are given special treatment at every turn and people are so desperate to get a view of them that stars tend to be surrounded by cameras everywhere they go.

In reality, we all know that stars are human beings just like the rest of us. In fact, some stars like Kesha have made some gross admissions that the vast majority of people would never lower themselves to. For example, in 2016, Adele was talking about being a parent when she revealed a parenting technique she once employed that would leave most people gagging.

Other Gross Celebrity Admissions

As human beings, it can be extremely easy and frankly fun to sit back and judge other people. In reality, however, most people would be lying if they tried to pretend like they aren’t gross in their own way. For proof of the fact that everyone is gross in one way or another, it is worth noting that there are lots of stars who have done disgusting things.

In terms of some of the grosser stories that involve major stars, it has been reported that two celebrities have weird relationships to their ears. After all, Kanye West has reportedly admitted eating his own earwax and Zayn Malik supposedly does such a bad job cleaning his ears that they are visibly dirty. Other stars with weird body habits include Britney Spears, Aziz Ansari, Mischa Marton, and Chris Pine who’ve all been caught on camera picking their nose. Worse yet, Ansel Elgort reportedly openly picks his nose on set no matter who can obviously see him.

Some other offputting celebrity revelations include the fact that Jessica Simpson doesn’t brush her teeth and that Brad Pitt opts to wipe himself down with baby wipes instead of showering. Cameron Diaz doesn’t use deodorant, Orlando Bloom goes days without showering or changing his clothes, Snooki uses cat litter as an exfoliant, and Megan Fox doesn’t flush when she should.

It has also recently come out that several stars including Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher avoid washing themselves with soap and they do the same thing with their kids. In addition to all of those stories, there are also reports of several stars who smell bad or have nasty breath including Colin Farrell, Robert Pattinson, Jennifer Aniston, and Britney Spears. In short, stars can be just as gross as the rest of us, or much, much worse in some cases.

Adele Shares Too Much

Easily among the most talented vocalists of her generation, let alone of all time, when Adele walks up to a microphone magic happens. Of course, it should go without saying that one of the main reasons that Adele has a simply incredible singing voice that has a wide range. However, there are lots of singers who have never risen to fame and fortune even though they also have mind-blowing vocal skills.

If people are trying to understand why someone like Adele enjoys so much more success than other performers with similar vocal skills, there are a lot of things to consider. For example, any celebrity who isn’t willing to admit that they have benefited from a lot of good luck is likely to be an out-of-touch egomaniac. When it comes to Adele in specific, she imbues her vocals and lyrics with so much raw emotion that it is near impossible to not be affected by her music.

The same aspect of Adele’s personality that allows her to be so raw when singing is likely what causes her to be so open during interviews and when talking in public. For example. there aren’t too many stars who would suddenly volunteer the information that they don’t love their father in the middle of an award acceptance speech. On top of that, most celebrities wouldn’t want you to know if they did something really gross with their child. Despite that, during one of the singer’s 2016 performances, Adele brought up her child and said something disgusting.

"The best thing is I pick my own kid's bogeys, roll them in my hand and then flick those ones. When he was a baby and had his first cold I sucked the snot out of his nose because he was so congested." Even though virtually all parents can relate to the frustrations of having an extremely congested child, it is still gross to suck snot out of your kid’s nose. On the bright side, this story makes how much Adele adores her son very clear.
