We already know that celebrities have a lot of odd ways to spend their money, time, and energy compared to what most of us are able to do or want to do with our resources. But what do they do for fun? Hobbies take up a great deal of time and are perfect for learning something new or for any age to spend some time with themselves or others to recoup. We indulge in our hobbies for many different reasons depending on what we do in our life or what the hobby is.
But the big question is what hobbies do celebrities have? Would they share some of the same hobbies as us or have more outlandish options like their usual routines have? Well, here are some surprising hobbies of the most popular celebrities to give you a little answer to those big questions.
Fitness
You probably guessed this hobby already since some people actually made their entire celebrity empire off of fitness or health related content online and on TV. But many celebrities enjoy spending time doing fitness activities. It can be anything from swimming to regular exercise to dance and even more odd seeming ways to be active, but plenty of stars like fitness-related or centered hobbies. This includes Tiger Woods, Beyoncé, David Beckham, Justin Timberlake, Will Smith, Cameron Diaz, Jenifer Aniston, and so many more.
Tattoos
Tattoos are often considered a big deal or a present for most people since they are quite expensive and many of us like to put a lot of planning or at least a little thought and planning behind the artwork on our skin. But some celebrities actually like to consider tattoos their hobby since they get them more often. It makes sense, they can afford it. The celebrities that mentioned tattoos as a hobby included David Beckham and Angeline Jolie, but if you think about the inked up celebs you see there are probably plenty more that would agree.
Reading
Spending some time with a book or reading something online is a super common hobby for anyone, no matter your age or interests or finances. Some celebs will readily read when they have the free time to or read about things involving their celebrity standing and/or businesses. We can’t be upset about a hobby like that since reading is quite good for your wellness and intelligence after all. Who loves reading? Think Madonna, Alex Rodriguez, James Patterson, Reese Witherspoon, and actually a ton more stars too.
Philanthropy
To end on a good note for hobbies, philanthropy is luckily a time consumer for multiple of the more famous celebs out there. Philanthropy means spending time helping and promoting welfare of others or of important human rights causes, such as charitable actions or donations and more. These celebrities, like Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z, Matt Damon, Alicia Keys, and so on, probably get a bit higher on the good list for most of our hearts and minds. At least their money is also going back into communities and causes sometimes!
Realistically, a hobby can be almost anything if you spend enough time and energy doing it or if it brings you a good time. But often most non-celebrities or just plain not rich folk can’t even fathom some of these hobbies being a part of their lives, whereas it’s pretty normal for many of our favorite and most popular individuals in society. Some of these hobbies may surprise you with how mundane or similar to our own habits they are, and others are just mind boggling to consider.
Either way, it’s fun to think about what the celebs we always see everywhere on television and the internet actually do in the free time they may have or just plain for fun and relaxation. And this list is just the beginning of it!
