(#5) Ludwig van Beethoven
- Dec. at 57 (1770-1827)
Like any successful person, Beethoven was nothing without his coffee. But unlike most casual drinkers, he insisted upon counting his coffee beans in order to make sure that exactly sixty went into his daily cup. It's unclear what catastrophic scenario would unfold if this number was off, but maybe he knew something that we don't know.

(#7) Elvis Presley
- Dec. at 42 (1935-1977)
Despite his massive success and wealth, Elvis preferred some of the simpler things. Some weirder than others. He never abandoned his preference for the good old-fashioned sponge bath, the quaintest of hygiene options. There's nothing like a bucket of cold water and a big sponge to make you feel clean again!
-
(#8) DMX
- 48
DMX was one of the biggest rappers of the 1990s, and his aggressive, rough voice is one of the trademark features of his hits. His intimidating persona was pretty cool, but it turns out that DMX had a nerdy little secret: he used to collect bugs.
Now, it's impossible to stop imagining him yelling "X gon' give it to ya" at insects.
-
(#1) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
- Dec. at 35 (1756-1791)
There are enough bizarre facts about Mozart to confirm that he was far from a normal guy, but this one is really one of the strangest: the composer enjoyed pretending to be a cat, especially during the rehearsals of his operas.
He would often climb over chairs and meow when bored. Okay, he'd officially be the worst person to have next to you on an airplane.
-
(#14) John Lennon
- Dec. at 40 (1940-1980)
For someone who was the lead singer of one of the most successful bands of all time, John Lennon was pretty nervous about his singing voice. He liked double-tracking his vocals for this reason, and apparently asked his producer to cover up his voice as much as possible: “Can’t you smother it with tomato ketchup or something?”
-
(#9) Freddie Mercury
- Dec. at 45 (1946-1991)
Freddie Mercury had at least ten cats, and it says a lot that no one is sure of the exact number. He also enjoyed talking to his cats. The Queen song "Delilah" and his entire solo album Mr. Bad Guy is dedicated to to his felines.
