10 Famous People You'll Be Shocked To Learn Were Total Perverts

8. F. Scott Fitzgerald - Foot Fetish

F. Scott Fitzgerald was an author who is largely regarded as one of the best that the United States has ever produced, with his most popular novel - The Great Gatsby - remaining culturally significant some 90 years after it was published. His writing is thought of as being thematic of the Jazz age in America, capturing the excess and mystery of the 1920s so perfectly in only four complete novels during his lifetime. But Fitzgerald supposedly had a slightly quirky trait which he kept very much to himself and select company only: a fetish for feet. Rumours during Fitzgerald's life circulated around his penchant for a particular prostitute, whom he used to employ the services of for the exclusive purpose of "appreciating" her feet. Whilst initially these rumours were seemingly vague and not necessarily attributed to anyone in particular, the issue was expanded upon in Nigel Cawthorne's book, Sordid Sex Lives. What's more, it would appear that Fitzgerald was most certainly not alone in his peculiar taste, as Fyodor Dostoyevsky is also revealed to have been a foot fetishist in the same publication, with love letters to his partner Anna Snitkina more or less entirely addressing her feet.
