Everyone knows that Tom “Top Gun” Cruise loves flying planes. But most people don’t know that he’s also into fencing. In 2008, he introduced Will Smith and David Beckham to his hobby. Will explains, “Tom has a room for training. We don’t get enough time to hang out, just us three guys, so this is his way of getting together and bonding. David and I go to his home and just do fencing. It’s a lot of fun.”

Coin collecting isn’t a strange hobby. But it is impressively old fashioned and a little square. So I’m surpised that Nicole Kidman is so into it. Specifically, she collects ancient coins of Judea.
