We're still surprised that suave Jeff Goldblum played one of the most disgusting eco-villains on Captain Planet and the Planeteers. Does anyone else remember being physically repulsed by Verminous Skumm, the giant part-human, part-rat creature? We do! Though Verminous Skumm was a long running character in everyone's favorite environmental awareness cartoon, Goldblum only voiced the character for five episodes before leaving for other roles.
Goldblum wasn't leaving Captain Planet and the Planeteers for just any old roles. He went on to star in some of the highest grossing films of all time, including Jurassic Park in 1993 and Independence Day in 1996. And let's not forget the sequels of these blockbusters, too. His more recent film work includes The Grand Budapest Hotel and Thor: Ragnarok. He also starred in seasons eight and nine of TV series Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

One of the classiest celebrity vacation spots in Europe is Mallorca, Spain. It’s known as a spot to be posh more than a spot to party.

Saint Tropez is known for its amazing beaches and blissful landscapes. Celebrity couples like Beyoncé and Jay Z and David and Victoria Beckham have been spotted vacationing along these famous beaches. The Cote d’Azur seaport is a big draw for celebs here, as well as top beach clubs like Club 55.
Perhaps the most well-known celebrity that loves Lake Como is George Clooney. He has a villa with over a dozen rooms here so he can bring all his friends along to relax, get away, and party. Villa d’Este is another popular place celebrities choose to stay because of its attention to privacy. Just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bette Midler, or Sylvester Stallone!
Sure, there are plenty of celebrities that call Sydney home year-around, but there are lots of others who like to visit for a surfing and sailing getaway. Sydney’s Bondi Beach has been a top vacation pick for Leonardo DiCaprio and Hugh Jackman, and some A-list accommodations are the InterContinental Hotel and the Park Hyatt in the Rocks.
