It’s surprisingly simple to lose sight of the fact that celebrities have outside interests and lives. Many of them, however, are just like us in that they have a passion for something. While some of their hobbies are pretty run-of-the-mill (like cooking or hiking), others are a bit more out there. Here are some of the most unexpected celebrity hobbies.

Tobey Maguire – Gambling

While many celebrities have gambling habits, Tobey Maguire takes the cake. The Spiderman star is known for his high-stakes poker games, where he regularly wins and loses large sums of money. He’s even been banned from some casinos for his participation in these games. You can also try your luck at Zodiac Casino Canada and make a fortune if you’re lucky.

Nicolas Cage – Collecting Rare Books

You might not expect one of Hollywood’s most eccentric actors to have an equally eccentric hobby, but Nicolas Cage is a collector of rare books. He has an impressive collection that includes first editions of works by Bram Stoker, Edgar Allan Poe, and H.P. Lovecraft.

Cameron Diaz – Boxing

When she’s not busy being one of the most successful actresses in Hollywood, Cameron Diaz likes to stay in shape by boxing. She’s a fan of the sport and often trains with world-famous boxing coach Freddie Roach.

Brad Pitt – Beekeeping

You might not think of bees when you think of Brad Pitt, but the actor is actually a beekeeper. He keeps hives at his homes in California and France and even makes his own honey.

Beyoncé Knowles – Making honey

Like Brad Pitt, Beyoncé is also a beekeeper. It’s easy to assume that her fans, known as the ‘Beyhive’, are responsible for her chosen pastime. She went on to say, however, that she began keeping beehives for two of her children.

Nicole Kidman – Skydiving

Nicole Kidman is no stranger to extreme hobbies. In addition to skydiving, she’s also an avid rock climber and has even gone BASE jumping. She not only has a skydiving license, but she also encourages other women to obtain one.

Will Smith – Fencing

Will Smith is one of the most successful actors in Hollywood, but he also has a passion for fencing. Smith enjoys fencing, and he’s also managed to raise the interest of his close friends Tom Cruise and David Beckham in this.

Taylor Swift – Making snow globes

When she’s not writing hit songs or touring the world, Taylor Swift enjoys making snow globes. It’s a hobby she picked up from Pinterest, and she even has a special room in her house where she makes them. The singer disclosed that she makes the presents with mason jars, antiques, and glitter, and that putting them together makes her feel like a child again.

Mary-Kate Olsen – Show jumping

Mary-Kate Olsen is known for her success in the fashion industry, but she also has a passion for horse riding. She’s an accomplished show jumper and has even competed in the Hampton Classic Horse Show.

Jennifer Aniston – Scuba Diving

When she’s not filming movies or starring in TV shows, Jennifer Aniston enjoys scuba diving. She’s a certified diver and has even gone on dives with sharks (though she has said that she’s not a fan of them).
