The fact that she can handle knives hasShe has already proven herself several times as an actress - for example in her role as the adventurous archaeologist Lara Croft in the video game adaptationTomb Raider. As an actress, she also came into contact with other weapons, but her fascination with knives began in her childhood. When she was young, she regularly attended Renaissance exhibitions with her mother and was always fascinated by the beauty of knife blades. She got her first dagger as a teenager, and as her fame grew, she was of course able to acquire a few rarer blades. However, she remains silent about the size and value of her collection.

In the past, Johnny Depp has shown that he is a strange guy, not only through his choice of roles, but also through his private escapades, which have kept the relevant tabloids busy. But did you know that he has a very unusual passion for collecting - at least for a 61-year-old? He collects Barbie figures, for whatever reason. He is even said to own some from Marilyn Monroe, Beyoncé and Lindsay Lohan. Unfortunately, it is not known whether he also dabbled in voodoo.

It wasn't long ago that Mike Tyson (58), who was actually long retired, got into the ring again against influencer Jake Paul - and received a good beating from Paul, who was 31 years his junior. Maybe it's also because Tyson has long since found his inner peace; after all, he privately breeds feathered peace symbols. Tyson even takes part in competitions with his pigeons and we can only hope that he does better than his last one.

The two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks also indulges in an unusual passion for collecting. He collects typewriters and has been doing so since 1978. He is now said to own between 250 and 300 of them - a hobby for which you should definitely have a bit of celebrity and therefore the necessary change to store them. But hey, at least Hanks is not only a successful actor, producer and director, but also a screenwriter - so it makes perfect sense for him. And the fact that he can write is also evident from the publication of his bookUncommon Type: Some Storiesproven. By the way, its cover features a, you guessed it, typewriter.

Actress Susan Sarandon has a great passion for ping pong - even if she isn't the best player herself. But she likes the sport and even founded the first table tennis club, Spin, in 2009co-founded (there are now several all over the USA). What she particularly likes about the sport is the fact that it doesn't matter which adults of which gender are playing against each other and that children can also play against adults - unlike in many other sports. Clearly it made perfect sense to her in the filmPing Pong Summerto take part and play a table tennis champion. It doesn't matter to her that she isn't particularly good herself. She still loves the sport and helps in her own way to make it better known. We love.

In addition to being a solo artist and multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and producer Jack White was also a member of The White Stripes. But he also masters another craft besides music, namely furniture upholstery. He has been able to do this since he was 15 years old, when he started doing an apprenticeship in an upholstery studio with a friend of his family. A lot has happened in White's life since then, but the upholstery business never left him completely and at 21 he even briefly opened his own business: Third Man Upholstery. Then he got too busy with the music and closed the shop, but he has now opened a quasi-branch on his private property and works there regularly on new furniture when he has a little time.

Actress Geena Davis is known from classic films likeThelma & LouiseandThe fly, but the now 68-year-old always hits the mark in another area of expertise – archery. She fell in love with the sport nearly thirty years ago while watching her compete at the 1996 Olympics. Shortly afterwards, she hired a trainer, trained for up to five hours a day at times and even applied for the USA Olympic team in 2000 - but “only” came 24th out of 300 women, meaning she narrowly failed to qualify. Nevertheless, she has not lost the fun of archery to this day.
