When celebrities spend months or weeks filming together, they often work hard — but also play hard.

Some pranks are simple (like Leonardo DiCaprio running up to Jonah Hill, pretending to be an excited fan), while others are a bit more complex (like that time Ashton Kutcher convinced Drake that an earthquake was happening).
Keep reading to learn about some of the most hilarious pranks that stars have admitted to pulling on each other.

Rihanna snuck into Jimmy Kimmel's house in the middle of the night to disturb him.
Rihanna is a self-proclaimed fan of Kimmel's April Fools' pranks that he pulls on his celebrity friends, but she decided to turn the tables on the talk show host in 2015. At 1:00 a.m. one day, Rihanna quietly made her way into Kimmel's house with the help of his wife.
Kimmel was sleeping and had no idea what was happening when Rihanna went into his room, started throwing dollar bills and confetti on his bed, pointing flashlights at him, and blasting one of her hit songs. She continued dancing and jumping on his bed, while Kimmel looked around, clearly disoriented.
"It seemed like a UFO landed and I didn't know what was going on," Kimmel joked.
Leonardo DiCaprio ran up to Jonah Hill pretending to be a fan.
When Jonah Hill was minding his own business and walking around New York City, he had no idea that his "Wolf of Wall Street" co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio, would rush up to him as a fan in an attempt to spook him.
DiCaprio was hanging out with some friends when he noticed Hill walking around by himself with his earbuds plugged in. He then ran up to Hill with his phone held up, pretending to be an excited fan trying to take a photo or video of him.
Hill was shocked for a second, but once he realized who it actually was, he laughed and DiCaprio pulled him in for a hug. Hill later said that he was "totally taken off guard" by the prank.
Jennifer Lawrence spray painted a bus that had Chris Pratt's face on it.
While Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt were traveling around the world to promote their film "Passengers," Lawrence was told that Pratt would take photos with her and post them on social media. The issue was that the photos shared by Pratt purposely cropped Lawrence out, or showed her not even looking at the camera.
When Kimmel told Lawrence (who doesn't have any social media accounts) during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," the two teamed up to get revenge against Pratt. They went to Hollywood Boulevard with cans of spray paint, brought in a bus with the "Passengers" movie poster on it, and proceeded to put graffiti on it.
Ashton Kutcher made Drake believe that an earthquake occurred.
Ashton Kutcher was crowned the king of pranks after the success of his reality TV show titled "Punk'd."

On the episode, the vehicle that Drake was in started randomly shaking while in a parking garage.
"That was no joke, I thought we were about to get f------ blown up," Drake said during the incident. "That's my first earthquake ever."
Kutcher and his team then added fake earthquake aftershocks, but Drake was convinced that the whole situation was real. As Kutcher added in more special effects, Drake got even more terrified. Needless to say, he was relieved when Kutcher revealed himself said and explained that none of it was real.
"He Canadian fetaled up into his buddy's lap," Kutcher said.
Unfortunately, that part of the filming wasn't included on the episode that aired.

In an interview with IGN, Clooney explained one of the pranks that Pitt pulled on him. The joke involved crew members only referring to him by his character name, Danny Ocean.
"You guys might have already heard the story, but when we were in Rome, we first got to Italy, Brad had a memo put out in Italian that said to all the Italian crew that Mr. Clooney would appreciate it if you would only engage him as Danny Ocean or Mr. Ocean," Clooney explained. "Don't look at him in the eyes."
Clooney said this happened for about a month.
"Everywhere I went, it was like, 'OK, Mr. Ocean.' until I finally said, 'What the hell?'" Clooney added. "And when I found out, when it got into the paper that I was like, this diva that made all the crew call me Mr. Ocean, I felt like I had to get him."
In retaliation, Clooney put two different, inappropriate bumper stickers on Pitt's car — one of which led to Pitt getting pulled over by the police.

"What's your favorite part of working with Amy Poehler?" Poehler asked, pretending to be a fan from New Hampshire.

After Poehler revealed her true identity, Meyers was surprised.
"Oh, come on!" he said. "Here I am being earnest and sweet about you."

The scene Somerhalder and Dobrev had to film required a reaction shot of Dobrev in character, so Somerhalder attached fake elephant ears to his thighs to surprise her.
"The first thing we see is Nina's reaction, so what if I was completely naked and we had elephant ears and double-stick tape, and I put them on each of my thighs, and ultimately, she would be staring at a very small, young elephant," Somerhalder told Entertainment Weekly. "The reaction that we got was f---ing amazing."

Pegg pointed out that Cruise made sure that he stayed hydrated.
"He was keeping me alive while he was torturing me," he joked.
To get back at Cruise, Pegg secretly put a piece of black tape over the lights on Cruise's seat warmer button and turned it on, that way he wouldn't be able to see that the feature was activated.

To get revenge, he stole all the furniture out of her dressing room and "left her possessions in a neat pile in the middle with a plant on top of it." Clarke then put a fart machine under his wheelchair that he used for filming and filled his new socks with smashed pieces of fish. Rather than carry out another prank against Clarke, Claflin chose to fool Clarke by acting offended and giving her the silent treatment.

The late-night host also rounded up actors to play annoying fans and created a highlight video that showed Beckham missing goals, falling, and getting red cards.
When Beckham finally saw the fake statue, he called it "embarrassing" and asked for the cameras to stop filming, saying, "The only thing that's good is the hair, and that's about it."

In response, Jonas got the image blown up and printed on his bedsheet.

Paul said that anytime he picked up a script, he thought, "This is the time." And Cranston "didn't help the situation, that b------!"
"He would say, 'Hey, did you read the next script?'" Paul said. "And I'd go, 'Nah, did you get it?' And he's like, 'Oh.' And he just would give me this big hug."
Paul said Cranston would continue lying by saying, "'Hey man, you know, it had to end sometime, but at least you go out, like, guns blazing,' or something like that."
Cranston would also tell his costar, "Just read it and, you know, call me if you want to talk."
Norman Reedus filled "The Walking Dead" costar Andrew Lincoln's AC with three pounds of glitter as part of the pair's ongoing prank war.

The actor went on to say that the glitter got stuck on Lincoln for months. Lincoln later tried to retaliate by blowing glitter in his costar's face while at a convention panel, but the plan backfired and Lincoln ended up getting the glitter on himself.
At San Diego Comic-Con in 2018, the actors explained that the pranking began in Tokyo, Japan. Prior to an interview, Lincoln asked Reedus how to say, "Thank you for having me in your country." Instead of giving the correct translation, Reedus basically taught Lincoln a phrase that means: "Where's the toilet?"
Lincoln also went on to pay someone to cover Reedus' car in toilet paper while on set.
Reedus also revealed that he secretly put a Daryl Dixon license plate on Lincoln's car, which went undetected for months, and he filled his costar's "TWD" trailer with chickens.
