With all the modern computing power at our disposal, tracking down biographical details about famous people on the web is simple. The vast majority of it is accessible with one mouse click.

Even though they are in the public eye, many people question whether or not
celebrities should still be afforded some degree of
privacy. Do they forfeit the right to privacy in matters of love and work just because of their
celebrity status? These

Elvis fans won't appreciate this, but he reportedly liked to hang out with teenage girls. Elvis' crew member Lamar Fike said, "Actual teenage girls attracted him." It shocked us all.” It's hardly unexpected when you consider the person he married. Priscilla was 14 when they met. Then, love was often romanticized. If the same thing happened in our time, would it be normal? Today, an older man dating a 14-year-old girl would cause a stir, but back then, people saw two lovers.
2. Alfred Hitchcock

You'd think Alfred Hitchcock had no fear. He's been the King of terror for years, a legend who scares us. What could he fear? He is, and it's weird. This folklore fears eggs. He can't get over his alektorophobia dread. He's frightened of eggs, roosters, and chickens. "I'm frightened of eggs, worse than frightened; they revolt me. That white round thing without any holes and when you break it, inside there's that yellow round thing without any holes... Brrr! Have you ever seen anything more revolting than an egg yolk breaking and spilling its yellow liquid?" It's hilarious how he describes his fear of eggs as it seems like a normal task of making breakfast, yet Hitchcock is horrified by the whole ordeal.
3. Christian Bale

Batman Begins Christian Bale was a superb Batman. His voice was strange, but he was an original Batman. Christian Bale became weird during film promotion. Bale has an English accent but was told to assume an American accent for US interviews. The movie's producers feared that Americans wouldn't like his accent. They feared not accepting a British Batman. It seems ridiculous, but superstars are supposed to do everything it takes for premieres and interviews.
4. Joaquin Phoenix

Even while cults still exist today, it's tougher to disguise them. In the 1970s, many hazardous cults went unnoticed. The Phoenixes were cult members until 1978. River, Joaquin, Liberty, and Rain were all members of the Children of God. Their parents were longtime cult members. After leaving the cult, they changed their last name from Bottom to represent a new beginning. It's strange to think of a celebrity getting involved in anything like that, but I suppose it's no different than Scientology rumors.
5. Tom Cruise

Nicole Kidman, a devout Catholic, declined to join his Scientology lifestyle. He didn't join the Catholic church despite her influence. His seminary education may surprise you. Cruise has discussed his difficult childhood. His life had turbulent teen years and an abusive father. He was also obsessed with the Catholic Church. This obsession led him to seminary. A troubled teen who stole booze was expelled from school. Maybe his Catholic Church experience led him to Scientology.
6. Billy Joel

Hollywood is rife with suicide attempts and young celebrity deaths. You assume a celebrity has everything due to their fame and money, yet sometimes they get into issues they can't escape. Billy Joel found out his wife was having an affair with his drummer. He tried to commit suicide by drinking furniture polish after hearing the news. He was found and sent to the hospital before he died. Billy Joel afterward wrote Tomorrow is Today using his suicide letter. He turned sorrow into beauty, yet his wife may still feel guilty.
7. Coco Chanel

Yes, that's shocking, and the Chanel family undoubtedly wishes it weren't public. Chanel is a longtime fashion staple. Chanel is a fashion icon. Coco Chanel reportedly wasn't a nice person. She was a self-proclaimed anti-Semite, which didn't go over well. She's homophobic and rude. She was determined to advance socially. When the Nazis took Paris, she reportedly supported them. She allegedly worked with Nazis to advance her career. It's scary to believe someone with such a high celebrity status may have been part of a horrific era.
