25 Outlandish Celeb Rumours That People Aren’t Sure Are True Or False

It’s quite normal to hear stories about celebs and not be sure whether they are true or false. Some rumours sound so outrageous that it’s hard to imagine that they aren’t just made up by some disgruntled person with nothing better to do. But despite the lack of proof, certain stories have made it into the rumour mill and gained quite a bit of popularity to boot. Recently, one Redditor invited users on the platform to share the most unhinged celeb rumours they’ve heard but still don’t know whether to believe or dismiss as fake, and folks did not disappoint in their responses.

I don’t know if this was ever widespread, but I was once substitute teaching for a group of middle schoolers who insisted that Neil Patrick Harris is straight. No one was quite sure why he’d pretend to be gay though, aside from some vague guesses that it might help his career somehow.

To their credit, though, they did seem to realize it was silly pretty quickly. Either that or they were just humoring me, in which case I still can’t be mad because that’s way nicer than my peers and I usually were to subs.
