Are you afraid to spill the salt? Do you get spooked by a fluffy black cat crossing your way? Or maybe walking under ladders makes you feel like you’re about to die? Don’t worry, many of us are subject to such superstitions. Psychologists even have an explanation: the human brain would rather attribute any incomprehensible event to the influence of supernatural forces than think logically.
And would you look at that – celebrities are humans too (for the most part), and they believe in omens, good and bad, even more than the rest of us. And let’s just say some of these superstitions will blow your mind.
1.Marlon Brando
Every time Marlon Brando gives his friends a birthday gift, it’s not some fancy gadget or jewelry, as many might think, but free-range ostrich eggs. And he also requested other people to do the same on his birthday. According to the actor, ostrich eggs drive away envy and misfortune and attract prosperity.
2.James McAvoy
If you suddenly meet James McAvoy and hear the phrase “White Rabbit” from him, that’s his way of asking the Universe for some good luck. The “X-Men” star believes this will attract good fortune for an entire month, but only if the magical words are the first thing he says to a stranger.
3.Robert Pattinson
It’s hard to believe, but the Batman star is neat and flawless only in the movie. In real life, the actor hates showering. According to his colleagues from the set, the BO coming from Bobby was very distracting. Apparently, the actor thinks water and soap might wash away his luck, so whenever Pattinson had an important shoot, he would not wash for a week before that.
