Celebrities can have eccentric personalities, and since they have bigger budgets than most of us, they’re able to indulge in these odd interests in ways that the rest of us normals can’t. But what you may not know is that some of the biggest players in Hollywood have secret obsessions that are downright bizarre. Here are some of the weirdest hobbies and interests that A-listers spend their time on when they’re not on the red carpet.
Johnny Depp and Barbie dolls
According to this “Pirates of the Caribbean” star, playing with Barbie dolls is one of the things he’s best at, and his vast, eclectic collection of them is proof enough. He not only has doll versions of his own characters but also special edition Barbies like the cast of “High School Musical.” He also has dolls of Marilyn Monroe, Paris Hilton, and Beyoncé, which he uses to bond with his kids and get into character for his roles.
Azealia Banks and witchcraft
This musician is a certified Hollywood oddball, but you might not know this shocking fact about her: she’s very into witchcraft or “Brujeria.” In 2016, she posted a since-deleted series of Instagram videos where she revealed she practices witchcraft and has a room dedicated to animal sacrifices. In the video, she’s cleaning up dried blood, animal feathers, and what looks like the remains of dead chickens.
Paris Hilton and frogs
Given her expensive taste, you might be surprised to learn this socialite and heiress is also a frog hunter in her spare time. She enjoys chasing reptiles around her arches, but as a well-known animal rights activist, she’s assured everyone that her frog hunting methods are ethical and humane, always ending with her releasing the amphibians back into the wild.
Taylor Swift and snow globes
True Swifties know that this pop star is a big fan of everything related to home crafting and DIY, and that has spilled over into a snow globe collection. Over the holidays, the “Bad Blood” singer is notorious for gifting her most dedicated fans original creations, including snow globes. Each Christmas, Swift makes her own snow globes for friends and families, and some even get sent to fans for “Swiftmas.”
Mila Kunis and World of Warcraft
This “That 70s Show” actor has always been an avid gamer, but over the past few years, she’s branched out into a new infatuation: World of Warcraft. This brunette babe became even more attractive to many when she admitted that she spends hours playing the computer game and is always trying to convince her friends to play with her.
Angelina Jolie and knives
We should have anticipated this ever since we saw her wearing a vial of blood from her ex, Billy Bob Thornton. She has fessed up to owning a massive collection of ancient daggers and is always curious about adding more. Jolie has spoken out about the fact that when she was younger, she would use knives to build a deeper sexual connection with her partner. This interest developed into a collection that she keeps hidden from the rest of the family.
Rod Stewart and model trains
Many people have a passion for model trains, but this rock star elevates his obsession by bringing them on tour with him. That can’t be cheap, and to be honest, it’s sounding closer to an addiction! Sometimes he even books an additional hotel room just for his model trains while he’s touring, turning it into a makeshift workshop.
Nick Offerman and woodworking
After years playing Ron Swanson on “Parks and Recreation,” fans were delighted when he brought the character to life by revealing that he was a longtime woodworker. The actor even owns his own woodshop where he conjures up custom creations from redwood tables to canoes. When he’s not acting, he creates high/end woodwork on commission, and at the same time, it’s a meditative hobby that lets him find inner peace in between roles.
Jennifer Garner and the saxophone
No one would suspect that a pageant-esque A-lister like Jennifer Garner would secretly be a band geek at heart, but here we are. In a Vanity Fair interview, the star revealed that her secret talent is playing the saxophone, and she even played “Mary Had A Little Lamb” during the magazine’s shoot. Her sax also has a nickname: “Sally the Sexy Saxophone.”
David Arquette and knitting
This actor is here to bring awareness to the fact that plenty of men knit, and that includes famous men! David Arquette has been very open about the fact that he has a passion for knitting and crocheting, and there’s even photographic proof of him doing needlework while on vacation. He even hand-made scarves for a charity once, using his unique interest for the greater good.
