Kendall Jenner: Funny and Crazy Facts About the Supermodel
Beginning
Kendall Jenner is one of the most famous supermodels in the world, but there is a surprisingly quirky and down-to-earth side to her that makes her very relatable. Kendall has shown time and time again that even supermodels have funny moments and surprising secrets, like her strange fears and hidden talents. In this article, we'll look at some of the most interesting and surprising facts about Kendall Jenner that show who she really is behind the beautiful pictures.
The Funniest Facts About Kendall Jenner
She Can Exactly Copy Bird Calls
Kendall can chirp like a bird perfectly, both in and out of the shower. This is one of her most surprising skills. On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she showed off this secret talent, and both the audience and Jimmy himself laughed out loud. It's funny and endearing that one of the highest-paid models in the world can suddenly start making bird calls. It shows that famous people are just like everyone else, but they have strange skills.
The spelling bee disaster that was so embarrassing
Kendall's most embarrassing moment was in a 5th-grade spelling bee when she thought she had spelled "swimming" perfectly and spelled it S-W-I-M-W-I-N-G. Everyone laughed at her and made fun of her for three days after she realized she had made a mistake. This memory from childhood shows that even future supermodels have awkward times in school.
The Billboard Awards Mistake
When Kendall was asked to introduce the teen heartthrobs 5 Seconds of Summer at the Billboard Music Awards in 2014, she completely messed up her lines. Even though Kendall is a top model, she has always said she is shy and that big groups of people and people she doesn't know well make her nervous. It was both painful and funny to see a confident runway model trip over her words on live TV.
The Sisters Who Stole Credit Cards
Kendall and Kylie were a very sneaky pair when they were younger. One time, they took their dad Bruce's credit card so they could go shopping for clothes. It's so funny that these two billionaires had to steal their dad's credit card when they were younger. Of course, Kendall can now buy her own designer clothes without having to steal them!
She Almost Went by a Different Name
Kris Jenner wrote the book "Kris Jenner...And All Things Kardashian." In it, she says that she tried out a lot of names before settling on Kendall, and baby Jenner almost got the name KAMERON! If all of the Kardashians and Jenners had names that started with K, it would have been the best branding move ever. But they chose Kendall instead, which is good.
The Rihanna Concert Event
Kendall once tweeted that she wasn't "excited" about going to a Rihanna concert. When Rihanna saw the tweet, she simply said, "well don't come." This epic celebrity clapback became instant internet gold and taught Kendall an important lesson about what not to tweet about other celebrities!
The Ice Skating Pool for the 17th Birthday
The Jenner house's pool was turned into an ice skating rink for Kendall's 17th birthday. In the Kardashian-Jenner world, it's normal for someone to turn their backyard pool into a skating rink for a birthday party. This over-the-top party is so on-brand for the family that it's funny.
Her Love of Animals Over Celebrities
Kendall says that when she was a teenager, her interests were more nerdy than most American teens. "I didn't have famous people on my wall. I was obsessed with animals, and I still am. I'm a nerd." It's funny that a supermodel who grew up in Hollywood's most famous family would be obsessed with animals instead of celebrities.
Amazing Facts About Kendall Jenner
She was the model who made the most money for Forbes
Forbes named Jenner the world's highest-paid model in 2017, taking the title from Gisele Bündchen, who had held it since 2002. It was unbelievable that she did this at such a young age, especially since she broke the record held by one of the most famous supermodels ever.
Karl Lagerfeld Had No Idea Who She Was
When Kendall got her first job with Chanel, famous designer Karl Lagerfeld had no idea who she was or that she was related to the Kardashians. Two years ago, during her first fitting for Chanel, she met him. She was already nervous because it was her first season and her first Chanel show. This shocking fact shows that Kendall earned her modeling career on her own, not just because she has a famous last name.
The Kardashian-Jenner Family's Tallest Member
Kendall is the tallest of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters at 5'10". Her height has often made her the butt of jokes in the family; her siblings love to call her a "giraffe." But Kendall takes it in stride. This genetic advantage helped her dominate the runway world, where height is a big plus.
Kendall's middle name is Nicole, after Kris Jenner's close friend Nicole Brown Simpson, who was tragically murdered in 1994. Kris was pregnant with Kendall at the time of her friend's death and during the trials with O.J. Simpson. She wanted to honor her friend by giving her daughter a part of her name. This deeply meaningful tribute adds a touching layer to Kendall's identity.
She has nine half-brothers and sisters.
Kendall is Bruce Jenner's fifth biological child. If you count Caitlyn as a surrogate dad to Kris's other kids (Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob), she would be the ninth child. Bruce had two kids with his first wife, Chrystie, and two more with his second wife, Linda. Then he married Kris and had Kendall and the youngest child, Kylie. This huge family tree is just amazing.
Jenner started modeling when she was 14. She worked on print ads and photoshoots for businesses, and then in 2014 and 2015, she had breakout seasons walking the runways for high-fashion designers during the New York, Milan, and Paris fashion weeks. It's amazing that she went from being a reality TV star to a real high-fashion model at such a young age.
Her Barbie Doll Ideas
The 2021 Pink Collection Barbie Doll from Mattel was inspired by her long pink tulle dress designed by Giambattista Valli and worn at Cannes. If you have a Barbie made after one of your fashion moments, you know you've made it in the fashion world.
At 19, she became an Estée Lauder ambassador.
In 2014, Kendall was named the new face of Estée Lauder when she was only 19 years old. Jenner has been in campaigns, editorials, and cover shoots for LOVE and many international editions of Vogue. She is also a brand ambassador for Estée Lauder. Getting such a high-profile beauty contract at such a young age was a huge career milestone.
Kendall's strange personality traits
She Has Trypophobia
Kendall has trypophobia, which is the fear of tiny holes in strange patterns. She says that pancakes, honeycomb, or lotus heads (the worst!) could set her off. If you're making breakfast for Kendall, don't even think about giving her pancakes. She says that little holes make her feel the worst anxiety.
The Horse Girl at Heart
Kendall's first love wasn't fashion or modeling; it was horses. She grew up riding horses and competing in equestrian events, and she has even said that owning a ranch is her dream. Her love for horses is still a big part of her life; she often posts pictures of her horse Dylan on Instagram. When Kendall needs to relax from her busy life, she goes to the stables to ride.
She's Interested in the Unexplained
Kendall loves ghosts, haunted houses, and anything else paranormal. When she was a kid, she thought she saw a ghost, which scared her but also made her more interested in the supernatural. She's always up for a good ghost story or a visit to a haunted place. It's so funny to think of one of the world's most glamorous supermodels getting excited about ghosts.
She Didn't Like Chocolate When She Was Young
Kendall Jenner says she never liked chocolate when she was a kid, which is pretty unusual for most kids. In an interview with Vogue, she said that she started eating less dairy to help with her acne, but "I love cheese so it's hard for me to cut out cheese." It's surprising how relatable a supermodel who doesn't like chocolate but can't resist cheese is.
Horror Movie Fan
Kendall is a huge fan of horror movies, from classic slasher films to creepy paranormal thrillers. She even said that her perfect movie night would include cozy blankets, popcorn, and a good old-fashioned jump scare. This unexpected love for horror movies adds another layer to her already interesting personality.
Ryan Gosling is Kendall's celebrity crush, which makes sense because The Notebook is one of her all-time favorite movies. After watching the famous romance movie, Kendall was left crushing hard on Ryan, just like millions of other people.
Obsession with In-N-Out Burger
Kendall loves In-N-Out, and she says that a double-double animal style with fries and a milkshake is her favorite cheat meal. The fact that she's so famous and still wants a classic California burger like the rest of us makes her seem so much more like us.
Mental Health and Personal Problems
She Talks About Her Anxiety
Kendall has talked openly about her various mental health issues, including her OCD. She says that her OCD makes her very detail-oriented, and even though she's not ashamed of it, she says it makes her more relatable to fans.
Being alone as a child
Kendall once said, "I remember a time when I was in middle school and even high school when I didn't have that many friends." "I cried a lot of days in my room because Kylie had so many friends and I didn't know what to do." This sad confession shows that even the most successful people felt lonely and unsure of themselves when they were young.
She was a shy kid who missed home.
Kendall said, "Everyone knows I'm a little shy, especially when I was younger. I was really shy." "I was homesick all the time when I was a kid." The difference between the shy, homesick child and the confident supermodel walking down international runways is truly amazing.
How to Handle Hate Online
Kendall told Allure, "I have cried for days because of things people have said to me." Even the most famous supermodel in the world has insecurities and the negative effects of social media hate, which shows us that celebrities are people too.
Her Fashion Empire and Other Business Interests
The Clothing Line by Kendall and Kylie
The Jenner sisters showed off The Kendall & Kylie Collection with PacSun on November 15, 2012. The collection came out in February 2013. On February 3, 2015, the Jenner sisters confirmed their collaboration with Topshop. They showed it off in November 2015 at the Chadstone Shopping Centre in Melbourne, Australia. Their fashion line became very popular, showing that they are not just models but also smart businesswomen.
818 Tequila Launch
She started the tequila brand 818 Tequila in 2021. Kendall has successfully made the switch from model to businesswoman, adding tequila mogul to her impressive resume. The brand has become more and more popular, showing that she is good at business beyond fashion.
Collector of Old Cars
Kendall loves collecting cars, especially vintage ones, because she used to love racing go-karts when she was younger and getting a rush from driving fast cars. Her most prized possession is a 1957 Corvette Stingray that she had restored. This expensive hobby shows how much she loves classic cars and adventure.
Her Private Life
The Kardashian-Jenner Who Is Most Private
Kendall Jenner is definitely the most unique and private member of the Kardashian-Jenner family. Her famous sisters often share their love lives and family drama with the world through their reality TV shows, but the supermodel has always kept her personal life a secret. This choice to keep her personal life private makes her stand out from her more public siblings.
She Doesn't Like Celebrity Culture
Kendall has said that she doesn't even like celebrity culture, even though she is obviously a huge star. She told W magazine, "I barely know half of the celebrities' names now." It's funny and refreshing that a celebrity doesn't care about celebrity culture.
Her Goals for Her Squad
Kendall is in a friend group with Cara Delevingne, Gigi Hadid, and Hailey Bieber. She said the name of the group sounds "lame," but it's because they've all achieved "cool individual lives" after dreaming about them since they were young. To show how much they love each other, the girls also have a lot of matching tattoos.
Relationships and Connections in the Family
Connected to Gigi Hadid
Kendall and Gigi Hadid are friends, but they are also related because their parents got divorced. Gigi's stepdad was once married to Kendall's dad's ex-wife. This complicated family connection in the celebrity world is both interesting and confusing.
Kris, Mom, Has Her Name Tattooed
Kris Jenner has a tattoo of her daughter Kendall's name on her lower back, along with her sister Kylie's name and a big Christian cross. This permanent tribute shows how much Kris loves her daughters.
Her Beauty Mark
Before photoshoots and public appearances, makeup artists usually cover up Kendall's beauty spot on her lower lip. A lot of people don't even know about this unique feature because it's usually hidden in professional photos.
Final Thoughts
Kendall Jenner is more than just a pretty face on the runway or a famous last name. She can chirp like a bird and is afraid of pancakes. She went from being the world's highest-paid model to having anxiety. She is a fascinating mix of glamour and relatability. Her journey from a shy, homesick kid to a confident supermodel who still gets nervous in crowds shows us that success doesn't mean perfection.
Kendall keeps surprising us with her many sides. She collects vintage cars, rides her horse Dylan, watches horror movies all day, and builds her tequila empire. She has shown that you can be both very successful and very down-to-earth, both glamorous and weird, both private and powerful.
These funny and shocking facts show that there is a wonderfully normal person behind the supermodel facade. They have strange fears, embarrassing moments, and real passions. In a world of carefully crafted celebrity images, Kendall Jenner's real quirks and struggles make her one of the most interesting and relatable people in modern pop culture. She's not just following the Kardashians; she's making her own way while staying true to herself.
