Well, your answer might not be as strange as some of these celebrities. These celebrities are hoarders/collectors of all kinds of objects.

So, what do you think Amanda Seyfried collects? It's definitely odd, although there is a community of people who love these items. Did you expect us to reveal that she collects taxidermy? And she's proud and excited to show her items off! She thinks they are absolutely beautiful. One of her favorites is a stuffed mini zebra.

Rosie O'Donnell is a big collector, but not of art or dolls. No, she's been collecting McDonald's Happy Meal Toys since the 1980s, looking for old and strange ones. As of 2022, she's reported to own over 2,500 Happy Meal toys.

Johnny Depp collects a long list of things, including Barbie dolls. He also really likes picking up props from movies he's been in, but one of the weirdest collections he has is of bones. It started with the skeleton of a pigeon, and now he owns skeletons of various bats and birds. Another collection he owns (yup, another) is CDs.

Having a collection of baskets isn't super weird; it's the amount that gets to us. Martha Stewart loves baskets to the point where she has to have hundreds of different types. Can she use them all? She's posted them on Instagram in a shed - a shed only for baskets.

Emma Roberts loves dolls. Honestly, many people do. But we aren't just talking about regular Barbie dolls. Instead, she collects all kinds, including vintage dolls. One of her favorite types is Dollikins.

One of Tom Hanks' largest collections is of typewriters. He loves how they feel, work, and look. Although he constantly sells, buys, and gives them away, at one point, he had hundreds.

We've all heard of fashion and shopping hoarding, but what about hangers, specifically non-wire hangers? Well, Penélope Cruz loves to collect them, and is always on the lookout for strange-shaped hangers with funky colors, patterns, or uses.

Do you have a lunch box you always wanted but could never get? Well, Dave Bautista collects antique and vintage lunch boxes, so maybe he'll have one of the ones you've always wanted. Some of his vintage lunch boxes are worth over $5,000, including a 1957 "Toppie" lunch box.

Who doesn't love board games? Quentin Tarantino really likes them, specifically themed board games. He owns a lot of board games with TV and movie themes, including "Dawn of the Dead."

One of Demi Moore's extensive collections is dolls. While this might not sound strange, we don't mean regular Barbie dolls. No, she likes vintage and antique dolls made of glass or porcelain.

Well, some reports indicate she insured her collection for $2 million.

Angelina Jolie is an interesting person with a lot of interests and hobbies. One of these hobbies is collecting daggers. She loves how unique they are and is always searching for odd ones. Many of her more expensive daggers are worth thousands.

What would you do with thousands of sunglasses? If you had the time and energy, you could wear a new one every day for three to four years. But who does that? Apparently, Elton John loves sunglasses, especially vintage ones. He also collects photographs.

Nicolas Cage is a spender. He has some of the weirdest collections and things in his home (some of which he no longer owns). One of his creepier interests is shrunken heads. Apart from shrunken heads, he also bought a 70-million-year-old dinosaur skull.

Gaston-Louis Vuitton, a luxury fashion icon known for his interesting collections, had a lot of them. Apparently, he once owned 800 tsubas and hundreds of quality trunks (some of which were made of leather).

Anna Faris collects dead bugs. She finds them fascinating and beautiful. This hobby is what brought her closer to Chris Pratt, who also loves to collect dead bugs. Now the two bug lovers are no longer together.

If you could, would you collect planes? This is definitely a rich-person hobby and interest. John Travolta loves planes. He likes collecting them, looking at them, and learning about them so much so that he bought a home on his own private airport with five planes.

Can a U.S. president be a celebrity? Probably. Although maybe a stretch, we've decided to include it. Franklin D. Roosevelt loved ships. He was an avid collector of coins, stamps, and books, but he also collected miniature ships - over 400.
