When the wide-eyed actress first moved to Hollywood, she was befriended by an oddball couple who somehow convinced her of the benefits of Breatharianism - a mystic cult which believes humans can exist without food or water. Naturally, she was hooked. And very hungry.

The Arquette siblings grew up as members of the Skymon Subud cult in Virginia, and lived without electricity and running water throughout their early years. The family left the group when their dad became a regular on The Waltons - a somewhat sinister cult in it’s own right, some might say.

The veteran actor dabbled with some dodgy cult-like practices starring as Jim Morrison in The Doors, but outside of the movies he’s apparently a devout Christian Scientist. It’s claimed the star once stubbornly refused to get medical treatment for a tumour in his throat, preferring to pray the troublesome lump away instead. It’s not clear whether it worked.

OK, a bit of a spurious one this, but some people are convinced Jay Z is hooked up with British demon-botherer Alisteir Crowley’s creepy OTO (Ordo Templi Orientis) movement. The rumours are based on Jay Z’s penchant for occult imagery in his clothing line, but he’s probably just being edgy rather than hanging out with Satan or whatever.

Speaking of Alisteir Crowley, Peaches Geldof was accused of dabbling with the OTO movement a few years before she tragically passed away. In 2014 she tweeted a photo of Crowley’s book, Magick - In Theory And Practice, lauding him as a ‘beautiful writer and thinker’ and got a Crowley-inspired tattoo.

Hollywood legend Glenn spent her childhood in the “violently anti-intellectual and possibly homophobic“ cult Moral Re-Armament. She lived with the group in a swanky hotel in Switzerland from the age of seven. “You basically weren’t allowed to do anything, or you were made to feel guilty about any unnatural desire,” she said. Wait, isn’t everyone’s childhood like that?

The 10 Things I Hate About You star didn’t just join a cult. Oh no. Andy started HIS OWN spiritual movement called Full Circle. “Synchronicity. Time. That’s what it’s all about,” he told Vice. “Whatever, the past, some other time. It’s a circle; in the center is now. That’s what it’s about.” That’s us sold, anyway.

The Stranger Things star grew up on the Rainbow Commune in California with seven other families, all committed to non-violence and egalitarianism. They’d regularly gather at events to pray, meditate and observe group silences for world peace. The commune lived off the land and had no electricity.

As part of the spectacularly creepy Children of God sect, the Grindhouse star has vivid memories of the cult’s female followers “going to bars as lures (to pick up recruits) - they called it flirty fishing.” Eventually, her family cut ties with the cult after it “began to advocate sex between children and adults.”

Joaquin spent much of the last decade looking like a cult leader, so perhaps it’s no surprise he’s had a brush with a sect. Along with brother River and sister Summer, he grew up as part of the Children of God. “The moment my parents realized there was something more to it, they got out,” he recently told Entertainment Tonight. Phew!
