reddit user @parishilton2 asked "What mistaken belief did you have about a celebrity for way too long?" and here are soe of the answers, you can read the whole thing at the source.
- My brother once told me that Orlando Bloom and Viggo Mortensen fell in love at the Lord of the Rings set and were married afterwards.... I believed that shit FOR YEARS!
- I was shocked to learn recently that Kendrick Lamar is 5’6, I assumed he’d be taller.
- For basically my entire life until last year, I thought Willem Dafoe was a British dude who could do a somewhat convincing American accent. He's from Wisconsin.
- I thought Amy Schumer was Tonya Harding, or rather Tonya was Amy. I knew tonya from this tv show called world’s dumbest that I used to watch as a kid. Then one day, years later I saw a trailer for an amy Schumer movie and I went oh it’s so nice that she went from worlds dumbest to making movies. And worst of all is that at the time I didn’t even know that Tonya used to be a figure skater, to me she was just the blonde lady from World’s dumbest
- I thought Jennifer Lopez was my sister because my family is Latino and I was told as a kid that I had a much older sister named Jennifer so one day I found JLo’s On the 6 CD and showed it to my mom and asked her if that was my sister lmao
- I thought Rita Ora was black (or at least part black) for a long time
