She collects hair? 10 celebrities with unusual hobbies

Everyone needs a hobby - and not everyone can settle for dance lessons, reading a book or watching a movie. Celebrities are no different, and some of them have admitted to some rather unusual interests. Curious? Here are 10 celebrities and their surprising hobbies.

‘The Simple Life’ star Paris Hilton is first on our list with a quite interesting yet unusual hobby. During a chat with The Sun newspaper, Paris revealed she likes to catch frogs - but not to keep as pets. She said: "I love frog hunting. I go at my ranches. I have one near Oakland, California, and another in Nevada, and I own an island. So I catch frogs and put them in a bucket and then let them go."

In 2020, Beyoncé had an interview with British Vogue magazine and revealed one of her favorite activities - making honey. She said: "I know it's random, but I have two beehives. Real ones. I've had them at my house for a while now. I have around 80,000 bees and we make hundreds of jars of honey a year."

Boxing legend Mike Tyson has keen interest in raising birds and he loves spending time with them - especially when it comes to pigeons. In a 2016 interview with Graham Bensinger, the athlete talked about the strong connection he has with his beloved birds, and he even knows when they are not well. He said: “Maybe I don’t always know the best routine on how to fix them when they’re sick, but … this is what I love, I love animals. "If you look in my refrigerator, you may see a whole conglomerate of just animal medicine.”

In a very wholesome turn of events, it seems Ryan Gosling has a passion for knitting. In an interview with GQ Australia, the actor revealed he had to learn how to do it for his ‘Lars and the Real Girl’ role, but ended up loving it so much that he kept up the hobby. He said: “If I had to design my perfect day, [knitting] would be it. And you get something out of it at the end. You get a nice present.”

According to Elle, actress Penélope Cruz likes to collect something quite unusual - coat hangers! The magazine reports that the ‘Vanilla Sky’ actress has admitted to having at least 500 coat hangers in different colors, materials, sizes and shapes.

Hollywood star Nicolas Cage is next on our list. According to CNBC, the ‘Face/Off’ actor has a collection of bizarre objects. Some of the artifacts he's obtained include a nine-foot-tall funerary tomb, a Superman comic valued in roughly $150,000, and a 70-million-year-old dinosaur skull, among many others.

Supermodel Claudia Schiffer is a big fan of creepy crawlies. Passionate about spiders, the star even collects insects and has an insect-inspired home décor. In an interview with the Telegraph newspaper, Claudia explained: "As a child, I was fascinated with spiders' webs sparkling with morning dew, or just after the rain."

In 2016, Azealia Banks shared a clip on Instagram and admitted one of her favorite hobbies over the years has been witchcraft. In the video, the ‘212’ hitmaker cleaned the room where she practices her talent and said: “The amount of c*** that’s about to come off my floor right now guys? Oh my God. Real witches do real things.”

‘Divergent’ actress Shailene Woodley likes to make her own products. In an interview with Flaunt magazine, she revealed one of her favorite hobbies is very hands-on, not only including making her own toothpaste, facial oil, or body lotions, but also medicines and cheeses. She said: "It's an entire lifestyle. It's appealing to my soul."

Last on the list is Katy Perry, who might just take the biscuit with her unusual collection. During the 2013 iHeartRadio party, the ‘I Kissed a Girl’ hitmaker told her fans that she tries to keep locks of other celebrities’ hair. She said: “One of the first times I went to the Grammys, I got to share a dressing room with Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift. "I asked them for a lock of their hair from each one of them, which is totally creepy, but awesome.”
