Unusual Hobbies of Celebrities

Actress Angelina Jolie

In 2008, Jolie told W Magazine that her mom introduced her to daggers when she was a kid, and that she hopes her son, Maddox to continue the family tradition. She says the knife blades she gives him are not as sharp anymore, so he can't hurt himself. She also says when they buy a new dagger, they always discuss about violence. She told the magazine: "We also talk about samurais and about the idea of defending someone as good. We talk about everything."

Actor Tom Hanks

The actor and filmmaker started collecting typewriters in 1978, according to a newspaper article he wrote for the New York Times in 2013. He says he likes typewriters mainly for the typing sound. In 2014 Hanks released an app called the Hanx Writer that gives you the beautiful experience of a manual typewriter fonts on an iPad or iPhone. After hearing about his obsession with typewriters, one journalist decided to send him an interview invitation on a 1934 Smith Corona typewriter. Hanks accepted the invitation with a cheeky, typewritten reply.

Actress Leslie Mann

Leslie Mann told Oprah Magazine in 2012 that riding a unicycle is her best hidden talent. "I got one for Christmas when I was 10 and taught myself how to use it," she said. "Now I can do all kinds of tricks, like cycling backward and jumping off curbs."

Former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo

In a 2015 interview with Bloomberg's Emily Chang, Costolo says he spends a lot of time "watching" the bees. “The whole way the hive works, and the crazy stuff that happens as the seasons change, everything is fascinating," he said. The former Twitter CEO has also tweeted about his beekeeping hobby.

'Divergent' star Shailene Woodley

Woodley told Flaunt Magazine in 2013 that she makes her own toothpaste, lotions, face oils, medicines, and cheese. She even hunts for food. "It's an entire lifestyle," she said. She showed her knowledge of herbs when she brought Jimmy Fallon, the famous talk show host, some natural remedies for boosting his immune system in 2014.
