Fun fact: Comedian Henny Youngman liked performing so much that he'd sometimes crash weddings, walk up to the father of the groom or something and say "I'm Henny Youngman, I'll do ten minutes for $100."
Amazingly, this usually worked.

Fun fact: Famed baseball pitcher Schoolboy Rowe was so superstitious that he would regularly pitch with a rabbit's foot, a horseshoe,a four leaf clover, lucky coins, charms and various talismans on his person for luck. He'd also talk to ball, which sometimes freaked rival players out so much they'd strike out.

Fun fact: Legendary ancient Greek wrestler Milo of Croton is said to have been killed by a pack of wolves after getting his hands stuck inside of a tree stump. According to legend Milo fought off a few wolves using his wrestling skills and all of the paintings of the event are hilarious because they seem to assume Milo was naked when it happened.

Fun fact: Boxing legend Earnie Shavers punched so hard that Muhammad Ali once bragged that his punch rocked all of his kinfolk back in Africa. Shavers found the quote so funny he began adding it to all of the photos of the fight he was asked to autograph.

Fun fact: Legendary pianist Franz Liszt would frequently have women faint at his concerts and was known to play his piano so hard that it'd sometimes just fall apart. The leading theory about why the former seemed to happen so much is that Liszt was just that fucking good.

Fun fact: According to Wikipedia one of the most frequently edited sections of the website is the part noting the nationality of Grand Theft Auto IV’s protagonist, Niko Bellic, a character whose nationality was deliberately left vague and is never once directly addressed in-game. Despite this, according to Wikipedia people have been arguing about this for 10 fucking years.

Fun fact: There 's a tree out there called the Gympie Gympie which possesses a sting so potent and painful that people stung by it have been known to scream for days on end before dropping dead from a scream-induced heart attack.
Before you ask, yes it comes from Australia, because of course if fucking does.

Fun fact: According to Jeff Bridges Iron Man didn’t have a script and he would frequently walk onto set not knowing what the fuck he was actually supposed to do. He soon stopped worrying about this when he realised nobody gave a shit.

Fun fact: After learning that Paramount wouldn’t let Henry Cavill shave a moustache he’d grown to appear in Mission Impossible 6 while trying to arrange re-shoots for Justice League, Warner Bros paid their visual effects department to mock up an image of Cavill with a beard to show that it was easier to add facial hair with CGI than remove it. After Paramount turned down an offer for Warner Bros to pay to do this in return fir letting Cavill shave, Warner Bros inexplicably ignored their own advice and tried to remove Cavill’s ‘stache with CGI.
As you can see, it went great.

Fun fact: After finding out he was an inch too short to become a sumo wrestler, big-dicked Japanese hero Mainoumi Shūhei had a lump of silicone surgically implanted below his scalp before being measured so he’d be tall enough. Before you ask, of course there is a picture of this.

Fun fact: The director of Deep Blue Sea specifically cast Samuel L. Jackson with the intention of inexplicably killing him halfway through the movie without warning. The director’s reasoning was that the audience wouldn’t expect the biggest actor in the film to be killed so suddenly and that after the point they’d be on edge about who’d die next since if a shark could get Sam Jackson, it could get anyone.

Fun fact: Early Simpsons writer John Swartzwelder was so obscenely prolific and penned so many classic episodes of the show that initially many fans assumed he didn't exist and that the name was just a pseudonym.
