6. Audrey and Ip

Audrey met Ip (short for Pippin) on the set of 1959’s Green Mansions. The baby deer was her on-screen sidekick, but Miss Hepburn got all doe-eyed about her new best friend and took her home… an unusual spin on the classic actress-falls-in-love-on-set Hollywood story.

Kristen Bell is, it is safe to say, the world’s biggest fan of sloths. As in, she loves sloths more than other sloths love sloths. You have probably seen her famous meltdown on Ellen. If you haven’t, it’s worth a watch.
