It's embarrassingly simple to forget that famous people have lives and passions beyond their careers. However, we discover that many of them are quite similar to us. Did you know that Julia Roberts is also a well-known knitter in addition to being a well-known actor? It's not just you. Neither of us knew. While it's not out of the ordinary for famous people to have interests outside of work, it does raise the question of how they spend their free time given their privileges.
We dug deep to bring you a list of
celebrities with the most unexpectedly interesting, unusual, and oddly wholesome pastimes. Whether it's an unusual collection or fencing against Tom Cruise (but we don't mention it here). And below is the list of your favorite celebrities' nine hilariously secret hobbies.

When Johnny played Barbies with his daughter, he became interested in the brand. Depp didn't want to get rid of the dolls, even when she lost interest in them, because they held sentimental value to him. He now has a collection of Barbies that requires a dedicated room.

People from different walks of life, including athletes and celebrities like Mike Tyson, attend pigeon pageants. He's always had a soft spot for pigeons; today, he keeps more than a thousand of them. Pigeons, he argues, have much to teach us about humanity.

It's cute that Tom enjoys collecting old typewriters. The truth is that he began amassing them long before his professional life took off. These machines represent the ideal synthesis of engineering and art in his eyes. His current inventory includes around 120 typewriters.

After his divorce, Brad Pitt began sculpting and making ceramics to express himself and recover. Now, however, it serves as a means of self-expression. He gets so swept up in it that he doesn't want to quit.

We're unsure if it's due to her friendship with Billy Bob Thornton (she wore his blood around her neck?). This interest doesn't shock us. Jolie has Big Assassin Energy, we've always said. In 2008, she told W Magazine that she passed the habit on to her son Maddox. "When I was 11 or 12, my parents bought me my first daggers, and I've bought Maddox some. We visit a specialty store.

There's no denying that Rosario Dawson is a sharp cookie, but did you know she's also a great Star Trek nerd? The actress is a frequent visitor to Comic-Con for fun and has even been heard speaking a little Klingon. Does that make you a bilingual person? That's what we've concluded.
