Ironically he seems to have been one of the most normal historical people in general:
"Euler was known as a generous and kind person, not neurotic as seen in some geniuses, keeping his good-natured disposition even after becoming entirely blind."

Weirdest thing i can find about him is that he married his wife's half-sister after his wife died, which is only slightly "huh" worthy.
