As a teenager, the future Hollywood star decided, that collecting dolls or old coins was too boring for her, because she was fond of edged weapons. Now, she has a great amount of daggers, sabres and swords of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, which the actress keeps under lock and key.
She tries to pass the passion for cold steel to her elder children and time after time presents them different vintage knives for the holidays. By the way, child services were very interested in this tradition after former nanny complained about Jolie's parenting methods, but the actress said that she carefully controls the hobbies of her children and doesn’t see anything wrong with it.
Sometimes, it is very difficult to get rid of the idea that the actress Sarah Jessica Parker and her character from Sex and the City Carrie Bradshaw are completely different people. Nevertheless, Sarah’s hobby is not collecting expensive bags and shoes, but knitting. By the way, the actress says that she got this passion from Julia Roberts and quickly realized that this is a very good way to distract from problems and to calm down. The actress can often be found with a ball of yarn and knitting right on the set or during breakfast in the cafe.
Supermodel Kate Moss is fond of synchronized swimming. But the British star does not just watch it on TV or attend competitions. Whenever possible, she takes lessons from professional athletes. Unfortunately, Kate has little time for her hobby and goes to the pool only during holidays. She says that takes great pleasure in learning new elements.

So, all we have to do is admire Kate Moss’s talents.
