The awkward celeb mile high club from pervy voyeurs to pilot announcements

A series of celebrity admissions has reignited attention on the so-called “mile high club,” with performers describing experiences during flights and how they handled awkward moments. Anastacia, 58, said on the Live, Laugh, Luke podcast that she’d joined, but clarified it was on a “commercial flight” rather than a private jet. Gwyneth Paltrow, 53, previously acknowledged joining the club during a 2015 “never have I ever” game on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, confirming by raising a sign. Joe Jonas, 37, said in 2025 that he joined “a couple of years ago,” only to realize right after what he thought was a high-five involved a flight attendant. Cara Delevingne, 34, claimed she’s been caught multiple times on planes and described an incident where a man kept staring, prompting them to tell a stewardess.
