Celebrities Registered in the Guinness World Records - Celebrities Honored for Noteworthy Records in the Guinness World Records
Welcome, folks! We've got the lowdown on the high-flyers, the record-breakers, and the world-beaters. Yep, we're talking about the celebs who left their autographs in the Guinness World Records book!
In a recent jaw-dropper, silver screen legend Tom Cruise (62) set the record for the "most jumps with a burning parachute" in his heart-pounding finale for "Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning." With a sizzling 16 jumps under his belt, Cruise etched his name alongside the greats!
Stunts, Stunts, Stunts
You might recognize Cruise's name alongside the stunt king himself, Jackie Chan (71). The Martial arts maestro has been involved in over 100 productions and counting. In 2012, he graced the pages of the record book as the "most prolific stunt performer!"
Box Office Titans
When it comes to making bank at the box office, Cruise doesn't quite hold the crown. Showbiz bigwigs seem to be highly impressed with Samuel L. Jackson (76), who was named "King of the Box Office" in 2023. With a whopping 45 films each grossing over $100 million, Jackson took the top spot, with Jennifer Lawrence (34)́ taking the lead for female stars in 2016.
Reed It and Weep: Tallest Leading Actor
Brad Garrett isn't as well-known as his fellow record holders, but you might have caught him in "Everybody Loves Raymond." Standing a colossal 2.032 meters tall, Garrett earned the title of "tallest leading actor" in 2002.
Selfie-Certified
The Rock, alias Dwayne Johnson (53), isn't just massive in size—his social media skills are equally formidable. Johnson holds the record for the "most selfies in three minutes," snapping photos with his fans at 105 shots per session!
Hugging It Out
Radio host and reality star Sam Thompson (32) went one step further—or rather, closer—in 2022, hugging an astonishing 88 people in 60 seconds!
Word Wars: Eminem's Lyric Spectacle
When it comes to lyrics, nobody does it quite like Eminem (52). This rap titan holds several records, including the "rap song with the most words," with "Rap God" packing a whopping 1,560 words! His superfans, commonly known as Stans, are equally agile with tattoos, with one die-hard fan boasting 15 Eminem portraits on their body.
The Party Starts Here: Snoop Dogg's Legendary Paradise Cocktail
Snoop Dogg (53) is the ultimate party pal, famous for tunes like "Gin & Juice" and the Paradise cocktail. In 2018, he and fellow rapper Warren G mixed up the "largest Paradise cocktail" with a staggering 550 liters of the original recipe!
Sparkling Teeth for Millions: Katy Perry's Lavish Grill
One might think a rapper's "grill" (dental jewelry) would hold the most expensive record. Wrong! Singer Katy Perry (40) donned the "most valuable grill" ever designed, featuring a dazzling 1 million USD worth of bling for her "Dark Horse" video!
