29 Celebrities Who Have Some Wildly Surprising Beliefs

You'd end up going a little crazy, right? We know we would.

Whether it's deeply believed conspiracy theories or just surprising contradictions, we don't know celebrities as well as we might think. Here are some of the surprising things that they believe, for one reason or another.
