View in slideshow

When it comes to talking about getting down, some stars are a little more candid than others — we're looking at you, Armie Hammer — which is why it can be pretty shocking when otherwise private celebs like Beyoncé, George Clooney, or Gwyneth Paltrow open up about their sex lives. Russell Brand spoke out about his sex life with ex-wife Katy Perry during a stand-up gig, saying, "I'd be having sex thinking, 'Think of anyone, anyone else.'" Um, burn?
Also, Martha Stewart admitted to sexting and revealed that she "maybe" had a threesome, while Cher named former boyfriend Tom Cruise as being "in the top five" of her best lovers — and who can forget when John Mayer called Jessica Simpson "sexual napalm"? We've rounded up the most surprising celebrity sex confessions (so far), so scroll through to see them all now.

1 Elizabeth Hurley

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live in March 2015, the actress spoke about her sex life with longtime boyfriend Hugh Grant, who she dated from 1987 to 2000. She told Andy Cohen, "I was with him for 13 years!" before rating his sexual prowess "a 10."

2 Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy admitted that she and her husband John Legend were advanced members of the Mile High Club; in the June 2014 issue of Cosmo, the model said, "We were on our way to Thailand to see my parents, flying commercial first-class. We were under a blanket. We weren't even in one of those pod things. I feel like we should get a trophy for that."

In an April 2012 sit-down for The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet, Gwyneth Paltrow admitted to not having a favorite sexual position, but instead said, "I'm down with all of them."

4 Russell Brand

Russell Brand took some not-so-nice jabs at ex-wife Katy Perry during a July 2013 stand-up routine at London's Soho Theatre. During the show, he joked about how he considered becoming a monk after the couple's 2011 divorce, saying, "When you’re a monk, you’re not allowed to have sex with anyone. When you’re married, it’s one person. That’s one more than a monk. It’s not that different." About sleeping with Katy, he added, "I’d be having sex thinking, ‘Think of anyone, anyone else.'"

7 Armie Hammer

Oh, Armie — the Lone Ranger star has been letting it all hang out lately when it comes to sexy talk. He recently told Elle magazine, "One chick tried to stab me when we were having sex.

Of course I promptly broke up with her . . . seven months later."

8 John Mayer

John Mayer held nothing back during a 2010 interview with Playboy when he dished on his sexual relationship with Jessica Simpson. About Jessica, who he dated in 2006, John said, "Sexually it was crazy. It was like napalm, sexual napalm."
He went on to call her "a drug," adding, "Did you ever say, 'I want to quit my life and just f*cking snort you? If you charged me $10,000 to f*ck you, I would start selling all my sh*t just to keep f*cking you'?"

Jada Pinkett Smith gave a glimpse into her sex life with husband Will Smith when she offered advice to Redbook magazine in 2009, saying, "Be sneaky. . . . your girlfriend's house at a party.

Pull over on the side of the road. . . . Just switch it up."

15 Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz got candid in July 2010 when she was asked how she maintains her youthful glow — she told Vogue UK, "I guess it's exercise, healthy diet, lots of water, lots of laughter, lots of sex — yes, sex, we need that as human beings. It's healthy, it's natural, it's what we are here to do."

A longtime proponent of tantric sex, Sting bared all in a February 2011 interview with Harper's Bazaar, saying of wife Trudie Styler, "When we see each other, it's romance.

20 Jane Fonda

During a May 2012 interview on The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet, legendary actress Jane Fonda revealed her favorite sexual position: "While I am quite flexible and I can kneel, [sex is] not quite as comfortable for me as it used to be before I had a fake knee."
