We all have weird habits. Be it stamp collecting or train watching, we’ve all got one. That even goes into the world of celebrity too, as we take a look at the most unexpected and odd celebrity hobbies around.
David Arquette
While the actor may be most famous for his roles in the Scream movies, but David Arquette’s secret passion isn’t quite as hair-raising, as the actors confessed his love for knitting on multiple occasions. Claiming to have developed a love for needlework from his grandma, he’s been seen many times on set casually knitting and even made his now ex-wife Courtney Cox a scarf.
Angelina Jolie
While we all know that Angie’s prone to a little eccentricity, her hobby of collecting daggers still is a little bit weird. For a woman who once famously carried a vial of her lover Billy Bob Thornton’s blood, this might not seem so much of a big leap, but we really hope she keeps all those knives out the reach of her litter of kids.
Leslie Mann
It seems as though Leslie Mann’s more than just a joker on screen, as she’s said that she’s quite likely to partake in a spot of unicycling. Having been given the odd one wheeled contraption at the age of nine, the actress has revealed that she’s not only able to ride a unicycle, but able to do trick on it too, including riding backwards and jumping over curbs. Funny they left that scene out of This Is 40…
Taylor Swift
No, it’s not dating! The pop star’s known to share most of her life on Instagram, including her love of making snow-globes. Yep, that’s right; the Nashville girl has a soft spot for perhaps the most throwaway of Christmas knick-knacks, proudly displaying a group of handmade festive trinkets for the world to see a couple of years ago. With the singer also known to indulge in baking, it seems that Miss Swift likes things a little homespun.
Catherine Zeta-Jones
While she might be one of the most glamorous things to come out of Wales, but it seems as if Catherine Zeta-Jones has a passion for a spot of bingo. It’s not a new thing either, as she’s apparently been doing it since her childhood in Swansea even making her own balls and cards in the time before places like www.meccabingo.com existed . Her husband Michael Douglas has even said that every Christmas she arranges a game for the whole family, even giving away little prizes to the winners.
Tom Hanks
For years, Tom Hanks has been collecting a rather impressive assortment of vintage typewriters. With the amount going over the 200 and growing, it seems as if Hanks is wanting to test out that ‘Million monkeys on a million typewriter’ theory .
Johnny Depp
Every father’s done it grudgingly, but it seems that Johnny Depp found playing with his daughter’s Barbies far more interesting than the average man. Speaking a few years ago, Johnny said; "I do like playing with Barbies. It's a great thing to do with your kids. Once, I was exploring different characters with the Barbies and my daughter didn't like it. At one point she said, 'Dad, please just stop, don't do that, just do your regular voice'."
Quentin Tarantino
Quentin’s never been the blandest of people, we can all tell that from his rather nutty films, but not even one of his oddball characters has shown an interest in Mr Tarantino’s rather odd collecting bug.
Quentin’s got a love of board games, but not just your run of the mill board games. It seems that he has a habit of collecting board games based on vintage TV shows. Now we know that a lot of collectors are very selective, but that takes the cake Quentin.
