Trends in Hollywood have a habit of making us go all “WHATT?” and the newest edition is the celebrities’ obsession with blood.
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly; Blood Drinking Ritual:
One of the most popular couples from Hollywood is the singer-actor duo, Megan Fox and Machine Gully Kelly. The couple definitely likes to indulge in some unique rituals but the thing they revealed just recently takes the top. The couple have confessed to drinking each other’s blood after they got engaged.
In an interview with Glamour Magazine, Megan said, “So, I guess to drink each other’s blood might mislead people, or people are imagining us with goblets and we’re like Game of Thrones, drinking each other’s blood. It’s just a few drops, but yes, we do consume each other’s blood on occasion for ritual purposes only.”
She also said the MGK is “much more haphazard and hectic and chaotic” and likely “willing to just cut his chest open with broken glass and say, ‘Take my soul.'”
Lil Nas X; Made Sneakers with Blood:
American Rapper Lil Nas X collaborated with art collective MSCHF last year to launch limited-edition sneakers. Sounds like a pretty normal thing, right? Well, not really because the sneakers featured real human blood. Although Nas did not use his own blood, blood droplet from members of the art collective were used.
The sneakers, Nike Air Max 97s, were limited to 666 pairs and sold out immediately, despite being priced over $1,000. Although afterwards Nike filed a lawsuit against the shoe maker, claiming that the product was made “without Nike’s authorization or approval.”
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker; Blood Vials:
The newly wedded couple, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have shared photos of each other’s blood vials on different occasions. Once, Kourtney shared photos of medical vials containing blood, labeled “Travis”.
Travis also uses vampire emoji on some of their photos together. Also, one time Kourtney commented on a picture of Travis with, “I want to suck your blood” to which the rapper replied, “My favorite,” followed by the blood drop emoji.
Julia Fox; Painting with Blood:
Actress Julia Fox curated her own art show titled “R.I.P. Julia Fox” in 2017. The artwork collection for the show included some paintings that she has created using her own blood. Julia said that she used her blood as she wanted the art show to be “as authentic and personal as possible.”
In Huffington Post, Julia elaborated that, “I extracted the blood with a syringe and used the syringe to paint on the silk. It wasn’t as bad as it seems. I love the way blood bleeds onto fabrics. I think the color is mesmerizing. I feel like blood is so precious, and it’s only right that it be displayed on a fabric which is just as precious.”
