Celebrity Facts Trivia Quiz

Whoopi on "The View" in a vest and white dress shirt

Whoopi's mom said that no one would take her seriously if she used "Whoopi Cushion" as her stage name. She [suggested](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnvIrE7bHG4) using the name "Goldberg" from her side of the family instead. The rest was history.

It's true!

Whoopi Goldberg's real name is actually Caryn Johnson, but she passed gas so often that people kept saying she was like a whoopee cushion, so she changed her name.

Betty White on black-and-white TV as in 20s and Betty White accepting an award in her 80s

Betty is 99 years old and was born on January 17, 1922. The [first time](http://time.com/3946461/sliced-bread-history/) a pre-sliced loaf of bread was sold was over six years later in 1928.

Betty White is older than sliced bread.

The Wicked Witch escaping Munchkinland in a puff of smoke and flames

This onset injury did occur, but it actually happened to Margaret Hamilton (aka the Wicked Witch of the West) during her dramatic and fiery exit from Munchkinland. There was a trap door on set that didn't open fast enough, so Hamilton got caught in the flames. She spent [six weeks](https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Making_of_the_Wizard_of_Oz.html?id=O4hReEM2x7UC) recuperating in the hospital and at home.

It's false!

Judy Garland suffered second-degree burns on her face and third-degree burns on her hand after a stunt went wrong while filming _The Wizard of Oz_.

Guy Fieri, Prince Harry, and Prince William

Guy Fieri's [real name IS](https://www.biography.com/people/guy-fieri-20688753) Guy Ferry, but unfortunately he's not first cousins with Prince William and Harry.

Guy Fieri's real name is actually Guy Ferry, and he's first cousins with Prince William and Harry.

A side-by-side as Megan as Tammy in "Parks and Rec" and Dory from "Finding Nemo"

According to Mullally, the studio originally [agreed](https://www.upi.com/Mullally-Disney-fired-me-from-Nemo/91271081371535/) that she could do whatever voice she wanted for the undisclosed character, but as time went on they kept requesting the one she used for _Will & Grace_. She refused, so they fired her.

Megan Mullally was fired from her role in _Finding Nemo_ for refusing to do her high-pitched Karen Walker voice from _Will & Grace_.

Jason Statham in a suit on "The Tonight Show"

He was [even](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWrINMm1aCI) a member of Britain's national diving team.

Jason Statham was a competitive diver before he became a professional actor.

Adam Sandler sitting court side at a basketball game

The movie was written and created by Josh Safdie, Benny Safdie, and Ronald Bronstein in 2009. Adam Sandler didn't become attached to the project until nearly a [decade](https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/12/12/20994262/uncut-gems-interview-josh-benny-safdie-adam-sandler-kevin-garnett) later when he replaced Jonah Hill in the leading role.

Adam Sandler came up with the premise for _Uncut Gems_ after losing close to $3 million in a sports bet.

The event [took place](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/benedict-cumberbatch-confessions-fifth-estate-625408) in 2005 while he was filming the miniseries _To the Ends of the Earth_ in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Benedict Cumberbatch was abducted by several men with guns while filming a TV show in South Africa.

Aaron Paul was a contestant on _The Price is Right_ in 2000, and he made it to the Showcase Showdown, but his bid went [over](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi5WFuWjf6Q) by only $132, so he lost.

Before starring on _Breaking Bad_, Aaron Paul was a contestant on _The Price Is Right_ where he won a car and nearly $30,000.

Sir Ian McKellen on "The Graham Norton Show" and Angela Bassett during a 2021 Oscars red carpet interview

Angela Bassett is currently 62, but Sir Ian McKellen had just turned 61 when he [first starred](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120903/) as Magneto in _X-Men_ in 2000.

Angela Bassett is now older than Sir Ian McKellen was when he starred as Magneto in _X-Men_.

And he [really enjoyed](https://www.accessonline.com/articles/jeremy-renner-reveals-makeup-artist-past-actor-talks-avengers-more-mission-impossible-117152) the job, which he did before landing his first Oscar nomination for _The Hurt Locker_, saying, “I could do makeup because I did theater...I could paint, and I could draw…It bought me a lot of free time to go audition when I needed to because I only had to work a few hours a week. I didn’t have to wait tables, so it was actually a great gig."

Jeremy Renner was a makeup artist before he became a famous actor and played Hawkeye in the _Avengers_ series.

Tony Todd with hundreds of bees on his body and in his mouth

The bees were real, and he did get stung several times, but he actually [wore](http://www.indiewire.com/2012/10/looking-back-on-20-years-of-candyman-whats-blood-if-not-for-spilling-250781/) a mouth guard to keep the bees from crawling down the back of his throat, so he didn't swallow any.

Tony Todd's mouth was filled with real bees while filming that iconic _Candyman_ scene, and aside from getting stung multiple times he also swallowed three of them.

She [described](https://www.cinemablend.com/news/1671820/how-batman-returns-made-michelle-pfeiffers-catwoman-suit-so-tight) the process as one of the most uncomfortable things she's ever done: "They had to powder me down, help me inside, and then vacuum-pack the suit. They'd paint it with a silicon-based finish to give it its trademark shine. I had those claws, and I was always catching them in things. The face mask was smashing my face and choking me."

Michelle Pfeiffer was literally vacuum-sealed into her Catwoman costume while shooting _Batman Returns_ to get it as skin-tight as possible.

Lauryn Hill's character singing "Joyful, Joyful" at the end of the movie

Lauryn Hill sang everything herself, but Wendy Makkena (aka Sister Mary Robert) was actually [lip-syncing](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1349050/) throughout both films.

Lauryn Hill's real singing voice wasn't actually used in _Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit_. Instead, they dubbed her with the singing voice from costar Tanya Blount.

Cranston worked at a restaurant when he was 20, and apparently everyone hated one of the chefs: "Everyone would talk about how you would kill Peter Wong. I said, 'I think I would slice him up and put him in a wok...and put it over some sticky rice.'" Later on, Cranston and his brother went on a motorcycle trip at around the same time Peter Wong was actually murdered. The detectives started to investigate and [searched](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihuy3gXd1kg) for Bryan and his brother, assuming they fled the state after committing the crime. Ultimately they were cleared of all charges.

And Bryan Cranston was the lead suspect in a giant murder investigation.
