These Hilarious Celebrity Pranks Will Give You All the April Fools’ Day Vibes

It’s April Fools’ Day, and you know what that means: Prepare yourself for the pranks. Yes, every April 1, people magically turn into clowns and spend all day putting Whoopie cushions in chairs and scaring the s–t out of their friends. It’s a holiday that brings out the kid–and fear–in all of us.

And celebrities love it, too. Many A-listers have either pulled pranks or been the victim of one, and most were caught on camera. Which is great for us, because we can relive their embarrassment months, years and decades later. Isn’t the Internet fab?

These 13 pranks are particularly majestical. From fake fires to freaky costumes and stair tumbles, these bits run the gamut of hilarity. And insanity.
