6. Colin Farrell Dons A “Priceless” Belt
Colin Farrell takes his Irish luck so very seriously, especially when it comes to his lucky belt. This belt, in particular, was a gift from his father, Eamonn Farrel, and it has been with him so long to literally start falling apart. In fact, he has spent over £3,000 over the years for repairs and restorations over the years for this belt if you can believe it. He has also had many holes punched in his belt for all of his weight fluctuations for various roles he’s played throughout his career.
There is a word that he has another charm though, a pair of boxer shorts with some shamrocks on them that also says “The luck of the Irish”. How is cliché that? Oh, Colin, you are just adorable.
7. Michael Jordan Sported The Same Shorts Every Game
Even the best basketball player that’s ever played the game has his own set of superstitions. Yes, he is known for his hard work, talent, and dedication, but he believed that only took him so far in the game. Therefore, he wore the exact same pair of shorts underneath his Chicago Bulls uniform during every single game he played, kind of like an unofficial uniform for lack of better words.
These weren’t just any regular shorts either, these were his old blue North Carolina shorts he had since his college days (ew). He thought that his number, 23, was unlucky so he had to counterbalance the bad luck with some good luck. Go figure, guess it worked out based on his career I’d say!
8. Axl Rose Won’t Rock Out With The Letter M
Only Axl Rose would have a problem playing shows in cities that begin with the letter M. I guess Memphis had to take to the road in order to catch a quality Guns N’ Roses show—bummer. This was during the time of the rock star though. Nothing was too grand and outrageous for these guys during their peak time in fame. They basically got to do whatever they wanted, so if they didn’t want to play cities starting with the letter M—they didn’t.
It was also said that Axl Rose believed that he and his ex-girlfriend, Stephanie Seymour were lovers in a previous life, and he reportedly sees psychics on the regular, especially when his band is touring. Lastly, he believes he is possessed by the late John Bonham. What?!?
9. Jessica Alba Protects Her Children A Little Too Much
When it comes to her children, Jessica Alba takes her superstitions very, very seriously. In fact, the actress threw a baby shower for her daughter and everything seemed as normal as could be…until she gave party favors to her guests. They were special leather bracelets that were engraved with a prayer—seemed innocent enough until she told them that they couldn’t take them off until her daughter was born. Ok, things just got weird.
She claimed the prayer and the bracelets will combine with the energy of the loved ones wearing them they will protect her unborn child from any possible harm. Sounds like a little much, but what do I know. Her daughter was born happy and healthy, but was it because of the bracelets? I guess we’ll never know.
10. Christian Bale Provokes The Dark Side
When it comes to superstitions, Christian Bale likes to live on the wild side and provoke bad luck. If there is a ladder standing around, you better believe Mr. Bale is walking under it. Why? He claims, “I do all that stuff. I do it on purpose.”
In a way, this is a form of being superstitious because he does believe in the superstitions by provoking them. Think of it as being reverse superstitious. So far, nothing awful has happened to him, but what if the fates are saving up for something awful? Then again, he has a pretty amazing acting career, so it’s not like things are going poorly for him. In fact, they are going the opposite of poorly. Let’s just hope nothing bad happens down the road…
