Instead, she rose to fame as Rachel Green on the hit TV program Friends. Aniston made the right choice for her career, although it’s hard to tell what would have unfolded if she’d accepted the SNL offer.

Ashton Kutcher

You may not know this about the actor and entrepreneur Ashton Kutcher – his real first name is Christopher! Despite being known by his stage name for decades, Kutcher was born Christopher Ashton Kutcher.

Ashton Kutcher

The actor reportedly changed his name early on in his career to make it more memorable and easier to pronounce. Although he’s now best known for his work in Hollywood and as a successful tech investor, it’s interesting to think about what might have been if Kutcher had stuck with his original name.

Ryan Cabrera

The musician Ryan Cabrera has a tattoo of Ryan Gosling’s face on his leg, which is an odd fact about him. In addition to getting a tattoo of Ryan Gosling’s face on his leg, Cabrera, best known for his hit songs “On the Way Down” and “True,” has publicly expressed his affection for The Notebook actor.

Gosling’s visage from his role in the film Half Nelson is shown in the tattoo. It’s just one more illustration of the creative and original ways fans express their adoration for their favorite celebrities.

Fran Drescher

She claims to have seen a bright light outside her bedroom window one night and woke up the next morning with a small mark on her hand. While her experience may sound far-fetched to some, it shows that even the most famous celebrities can have some unusual beliefs.

Geena Davis

Did you know that Geena Davis, an actress, nearly made the US Olympic archery squad in 1999? In her 40s, actress Davis, who’s well-known for her roles in the films Thelma & Louise and Beetlejuice, started archery and took it up quickly.

Geena Davis

She proceeded to compete in several national and international archery events, just missing the chance to represent the US in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.

In 2007, he bid and won the skull of a Tarbosaurus bataar, a species of dinosaur that lived 70 million years ago. Cage reportedly paid $276,000 for the skull, outbidding DiCaprio. It shows that even the wealthiest celebrities can have unusual hobbies and interests.

Rob Lowe

Rob Lowe

In an interview, he shared that he and his sons were camping in the mountains when they heard strange noises and saw a large, bipedal creature. While many people may be skeptical of his story, it just goes to show that even celebrities can have some wild experiences.

The Beatles

Did you know that Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels once made an on-camera plea to the Beatles, inviting them to reunite on the show? In 1976, Michaels appeared on the show’s Weekend Update segment and offered to pay the band $3,000 to perform together just three songs.

The Beatles

The offer was made somewhat in jest, but it caught the attention of Beatles fans and the media. Unfortunately, the band never reunited on SNL, but the moment has gone down in TV history as one of the show’s most memorable moments.

Céline Dion

It may surprise you to learn that Céline Dion initially hesitated to record “My Heart Will Go On,” the theme song from Titanic. Dion has said that she initially didn’t enjoy the song, despite it going on to become one of her biggest singles.

Céline Dion

She reportedly needed René Angélil, her late manager and husband, to persuade her to record it. This simply goes to show that even well-known artists can have reservations about their work. It isn’t easy to envision the movie without the dynamic impact of that song.

Princess Diana

Many people know Princess Diana as the wife of Prince Charles, but before she married into the royal family, she already had several connections to the monarchy. Diana’s maternal grandmother, Ruth Roche, was a close friend of Queen Elizabeth.

Beyoncé

The fly was named after Beyoncé due to its unique golden color and the fact that it was discovered around the same time as her album 4 was released. While it may seem strange to name an insect after a celebrity, it’s quite an honor in the scientific community.

Lorde

The talented singer-songwriter from New Zealand, Lorde, is known as a gifted musician – and is also an expert in onion rings. In 2017, it came to light that Lorde kept a covert Instagram account in which she posted reviews on onion rings from various global eateries.

Before becoming a big Hollywood star, Hugh Jackman had an interesting side hustle as a children’s party entertainer. He would dress up as Coco the Clown and perform magic tricks and make balloon animals for kids. The Australian actor even went as far as to make his own clown outfit and makeup.

These are some of the celebrity couples you haven’t seen and won’t see on the red carpet together.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tasha McCauley

It’s not out of character for actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt to stay relatively private when he’s off-screen. Tasha McCauley, his wife, is a CEO too — rather than a celebrity herself.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tasha McCauley

The actor has shared, “I get up in movies and I play other people, so when the audience is watching me in movies, I don’t want them thinking about me and who I’m dating, and blah, blah, blah. I want them to see the character, the story that I’m telling.”

Florence Pugh and Zach Braff

She later explained the hiatus to Vanity Fair by saying, “I just think everybody had gotten sick of me. I’d gotten sick of me…It had just gotten to a point where I couldn’t do anything right. If I walked a red carpet, it was, ‘Why didn’t she run?'”

Rachel Zegler and Josh Andrés Rivera

Co-stars in love often show up on the red carpet together. After all, they tend to grace the red carpet together in general. This isn’t the case for Rachel Zegler and Josh Andrés Rivera.

Keke Palmer and Darius Daulton

Keke Palmer has always kept her romantic life rather private. In 2021, she started publicly dating trainer Darius Daulton but the two haven’t hit the red carpet. Before the couple started dating, Palmer discussed her love life in broader terms Harper’s Bazaar.

With as much fame as Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles combined, it’s no surprise their relationship has made headlines. On the other hand, they’ve stayed off the red carpet. During an interview with Wilde, Vogue asked her about the relationship.

Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde

She replied that “It’s obviously really tempting to correct a false narrative…But I think what you realize is that when you’re really happy, it doesn’t matter what strangers think about you. All that matters to you is what’s real, and what you love, and who you love.”

Mila Kunis and Macauley Culkin

We’re usually used to seeing Mila Kunis hit the red carpet with her long-time husband, Ashton Kutcher. However, she’s had other celebrity relationships too. Mila Kunis was actually with Macaulay Culkin starting in 2002 and the relationship lasted until 2011.

Tiffani Thiessen and Mario Lopez

There are times that you don’t learn your favorite celebrities dated until well after the fact. This was the case for Mario Lopez and Tiffani Thiessen.

The two starred in Saved By the Bell together, which was wildly popular at the time. However, the relationship was far from the public. As a matter of fact, the two only revealed their relationship years after it had already ended.

It’s been a while but Jared Leto and Cameron Diaz were once romantically linked. The relationship started in 1999. At the start, the two tried to keep the situation quiet.

Yet, given that both were rather famous, it wasn’t long before word got around about their relationship. The two ultimately stayed together for four years but split in 2003. The couple stayed off the red carpet during their relationship.

Adele and Simon Konecki

Given Adele’s dating history, it’s not much of a surprise that she isn’t hitting red carpets with Rich Paul. Her relationship with Simon Konecki followed the same thread.

The two were seen at a few awards shows together during their marriage but the pair never walked down the red carpet. The two were together from 2012 to 2019 and married from 2017 to 2019. In character, the pair was rather quiet about their relationship ending as well.

Zachary Quinto and Jonathan Groff

Zachary Quinto is a versatile star who has brought both horror characters to life as well as taken on the helm of the long-beloved character Spock. In 2012, Quinto announced their relationship, which lasted until 2013.

At the time, he told Out, “I’m incredibly happy, I’m incredibly lucky. I found myself in a pattern of being attracted to people who were somehow unavailable, and what I realized was that I was protecting myself because I equated the idea of connection and love with trauma and death.”

Fergie and Justin Timberlake

Just like anyone else, celebrities don’t always date with the intention of forging a long-term relationship. In 2003, Fergie and Justin Timberlake were briefly romantically linked after their song “Where Is Love?”

Later, Fergie cleared things up with Cosmopolitan, saying, “One of my good friends was dating J.C. Chasez, and so we’d all hang out with ‘N Sync,” on Justin specifically, she said, “We went to Hawaii together, but we were never serious. He was Mr. Right Now.”

Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris

Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris started dating in 2015. The two made their official announcement on March 6th of that year. The pair actually met at the BRIT Awards in 2015, just before they were officially together.

Shortly before, Luke Wilson and Gwyneth Paltrow starred in The Real Tenenbaums together. The two weren’t together long, however, and only dated for about a year before moving on. This was shortly before Paltrow’s relationship and wedding to Chris Martin.

Madonna and Michael Jackson

You would think there’s no way Madonna and Michael Jackson would have possibly missed the red carpet while they were dating. This might be because the relationship was so short-lived.

Madonna and Michael Jackson

The two were spotted when Madonna brought the pop star as her date at the Academy Awards in 1991. It didn’t take long for rumors to swirl that it was a publicity stunt — but Madonna hasn’t given any sign that it was purely business.

Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston

No one could quite escape the drama of Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift in 2016. Despite staying mostly quiet, the couple was filmed everywhere. This included snapshots of them at the Met Gala and even one memorable 4th of July picture featuring a now-infamous “I Heart T.S.” shirt.

Despite all the hype, the relationship was short-lived with some sources blaming the excessive attention on the pair. We can see how that much publicity would be emotionally taxing.

Liam Neeson and Helen Mirren

Believe it or not, Dame Helen Mirren and Liam Neeson actually dated for a period of time. They initially met working together on Excalibur. The relationship wasn’t short-lived either!

Liam Neeson and Helen Mirren

The two were together for five years and Mirren once said on The Graham Norton Show, “We didn’t ‘date,’ we lived together for four years. We were a serious item for a while. Lucky me!” The two skipped out on red carpet events together, though.

Alex Rodriguez and Kate Hudson

While many people think of Alex Rodriguez’s romance with Jennifer Lopez, it’s not the only relationship with a celebrity that the athlete has been in.

Alex Rodriguez and Kate Hudson

In 2009, the athlete and actress Kate Hudson started dating. However, the pair didn’t stay together for very long. According to some sources, the split came from A-Rod’s inability to let go of his recent ex at the time, Madonna.

Matthew Perry and Lizzy Caplan

You probably wouldn’t think of a real-life collision between Mean Girls and Friends but it sort of happened! Matthew Perry and Lizzy Caplan dated for six years but we can’t blame you for not knowing!

Rashida Jones and Mark Ronson

Rashida Jones and Mark Ronson aren’t together anymore but the two were actually pretty serious back in the early 2000s. The pair started dating in 2002 and even later got engaged. However, they broke things off in 2004 before they tied the knot.

Rashida Jones and Mark Ronson

Jones told Elle, “We were too young to be engaged, and we both were very nervous about it; it felt like a very big, adult step. Neither of us were ready, and we didn’t really deal with it face-to-face, and the relationship deteriorated.”

Justin Bieber and Sofia Richie

It was after one of the breakups with Selena Gomez that Bieber started dating Sofia Richie. Unfortunately, things got ugly with fans pretty quickly. The two started dating at the end of 2016 and lasted until September of the next year.

During their relationship, Bieber once threatened on Instagram, “I’m gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don’ stop the hate this is getting out of hand, if you guys are really my fans you wouldn’t be so mean to people that I like.”

Kaley Cuoco and Henry Cavill

The actress of The Big Bang Theory fame was romantically linked to Henry Cavill back in 2013 for 10 days. The paparazzi quickly paid a toll on the two.

Cuoco said, “I had no one following me until I met Superman. I’ve been in this business for 20 years, and my whole life, I could go anywhere, do anything. There had not been one paparazzi photo of me until like several months ago. The recognition was crazy.”

Nick Jonas and Lily Collins

Like many celebrities, Nick Jonas has long been surrounded by dating rumors. In 2016, there were a lot of suspicions about the singer and Kate Hudson.

Nick Jonas and Lily Collins

Well, Jonas wasn’t dating Hudson. Instead, he shared with The Sun that he’d actually been with Lily Collins. He told them, “We went out a couple of times. She is amazing. We have known each other for years, just running in the same circles.”

Michelle Rodriguez and Zac Efron

Michelle Rodriguez and Zac Efron started their short relationship in 2014 — on the Fourth of July, to be exact.

The two never hit the red carpet decked out in eveningwear but they did share plenty of pictures together on Instagram during their relationship, which included plenty of jet-setting around for summer adventures. As mentioned, the relationship didn’t last long but apparently, the split was mutual for both parties.

Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader

Bill Hader and Anna Kendrick both run in comedic circles. They even worked side-by-side for both Noelle and The To-Do List. It was a year before any word of Hader and Kendrick’s relationship came out.

That was when People quoted a source who said, “Anna has been dating Bill quietly for over a year. They met years ago. She’s hosted Saturday Night Live and they’ve done a movie together, but they got together well after the movie.”

Madonna and Tupac

Some couples have so much star power that it seems fate they’d end up on the red carpet together. This isn’t always the case. Few musicians were quite as successful as Madonna and Tupac were during the time they dated.

Yet, it wasn’t common knowledge and they didn’t grace any awards shows together. The two were together for a year and the letter in which he broke up with her actually went up for auction, making it public.
