Beyonce has real beehives, Christiano Ronaldo enjoys the game of Bingo and Simon Cowell starts his mornings with cartoons. So, it’s more like behind the talents and charisma that your favorite celebrities come with, they have hobbies like every other person. Some of these hobbies could actually be weird in their own ways.
This article would probably just remind you of the ordinary “normal” human nature of celebrities away from their glamour. From famous people who hunt frogs to those who have odd eating habits, to those who knit and others who cultivate silkworms, journey through this article to know about the crazy weird hobbies of famous people.
10. Selena Gomez has Odd Eating Habits
Maybe the Calm Down co-singer may have the weirdest eating habits among celebrities – or maybe not! But how do we explain eating popcorn with Tabasco sauce and a dash of salt? To make it even more interesting in a weird way, she dips the popcorn into an optional pickle juice. Yet, as weird as it may seem, Jimmy Fallon whose show Selena made the revelation decided to try it out.
His trying out led to his calling it his “new favorite popcorn”. Perhaps if more people would try it like Fallon, Selena’s eating habits may not be as weird as we think.
Just when we think that’s all from Gomez, she surprises us by mixing pickles and Reese’s Peanut Butter.
Oh well, that’s not all from her. Words have passed around that she eats lemons whole and drinks olive oil. We understand her drinking olive oil might have something to do with trying to protect her voice.
Anyway, she does have some incredible normal hobbies like making up, writing songs, singing, impersonating voices, and of course acting!
9. Taylor Swift Loves Making Snow Globes
Taylor Swift is not actually only up and about making music or singing about heartbreaks. She definitely has hobbies that may not be very normal among celebrities.
She loves snow globes, especially self-made ones. In 2011, she shared photos of 8 snow globes and jars on her Instagram page. She captioned “Home made snow globes with friends. The whole fleet!” The Bad Blood singer has also shared other snow globes she made.
Apart from this, Swift also enjoys cooking and baking; and antique shopping.
8. Katherine Heigl Knits Often
The Grey’s Anatomy actress is an ardent knitter. In fact, she runs a blog where she shows her progress. She has completed numerous projects, including an azel pullover, socks, hat, neck warmer, and sweaters.
Anyway, there are famous people who are keen on knitting. They include David Arquette, Katy Perry, and Krysten Ritter.
7. Simon Cowell Watches Classic Hanna-Barbera Cartoons to Start His Morning
I couldn’t believe it either – well, at first! Cowell is known laughs at good jokes of course. But who would have thought that this same man would love cartoons and even wants to start his mornings with a good dose of them?
According to him, he doesn’t watch the news to start his day as he feels they could be depressing and relentless. Instead, he opts for cartoons and his favorites are The classics from Hanna-Barbara. According to him, they help set him in a good mood.
6. Paris Hilton Hunts Frogs
Paris Hilton and frog hunting do not match in my opinion – I could easily pass this for an “odd couple“. But my opinion doesn’t count as much as this article is concerned. In that case, she revealed her love for hunting frogs but in an even more unusual manner, she lets them go after having several in her bucket.
The hotel heiress is a lover of animals and in a report, it is revealed her love for fishing and being a real tomboy.
5. Steven Seagal Cultivates Silkworms
Seagal would easily pass for a man with many talents and a man who has used many pseudonyms as a writer. Yet, his hobby is outside what the public would often think of a celebrity. He breeds silkworms and sells them on eBay. Also, there are reports that he is an amateur beekeeper.
The Under the Seige actor has a hobby of collecting swords. He has an extensive sword collection and at one point, he had a custom gun made for him once a month.
4. Christiano Ronaldo Enjoys Game of Bingo
Ronaldo, known as one of the most hardworking footballers in the world also plays one of the most popular forms of low-priced gambling in the world. He mentioned in an interview that he developed a love for bingo in his early football years with Manchester United.
He further claimed that the game of bingo is exciting and it has helped him learn English (Per The Sun).
3. Matt Oakley Collects South American red-bellied Piranha
Matt said he “wanted something unusual” and he then turned to become a collector of South American red-bellied piranha.
Feeding them is another great adventure that the football coach cum former English player enjoys.
2. Tom Hanks Has a Thing for Antique Typewriters
Sometimes referred to as the patron saint of typewriters, Tom Hanks, an Academy Award-winning actor started collecting typewriters when he was 19 and he later turned it into a lasting hobby.
Interestingly, he gives out some of these antique typewriters to people who needed them. When gifting, he attaches the typewriters with a note.
1. Beyonce and Her Beehives
Often called Queen Bee “B” and her fans call themselves Beyhives, it is no surprise that the music icon actually has around 80,000 bees in real beehives. Actually, she has two beehives in her house.
She revealed making hundreds of jars of honey a year. This “hobby” started when she realized that her kids, Blue and Rumi have allergies and honey has a lot of advantageous properties.
