While Meghan is a woman of many talents, she previously revealed back in 2013 that she has a knack for calligraphy.

Before stepping into the spotlight, between 2004 and 2005, Meghan taught calligraphy, gift-wrapping and book-binding at the Paper Source store in Beverly Hills.

Paper Source CEO, Winnie Park, told People: “It was her part-time job as she was going through auditions.

“She taught calligraphy and hosted a group of customers and instructed them during a two-hour class on how to do calligraphy.”

In addition to her role at Paper Source, Meghan also worked as a freelance calligrapher and even wrote the invitations for Robin Thicke and Paula Patton’s wedding in 2005.

Meghan also discussed her love of handwritten notes on her former lifestyle blog, The Tig, adding: “I think handwritten notes are a lost art form.

“When I booked my first [TV] pilot, my dad wrote me a letter that I still have. The idea of someone taking the time to put pen to paper is really special.”

What the ribbit? Paris Hilton's passion for frog-hunting 

While Kate and Meghan’s hobbies are pretty normal, Paris Hilton’s pastime might leave you slightly surprised.

It tuns out that the heiress has a bizarre hobby – frog-hunting.

Talking to The Sun, Paris explained: "I love frog hunting. I go at my ranches. 

“I have one near Oakland, California, and another in Nevada, and I own an island. 

“So I catch frogs and put them in a bucket and then let them go."

Now that's sweet: Beyonce's honey hobby

While Beyonce is all too used to singing sell-out performances around the world, it turns out that in her downtime, she loves making honey.

During an interview with Vogue, the musician revealed the surprising fact about herself that fans don't know, as she claimed: "I know it's random, but I have two beehives. Real ones.

"I've had them at my house for a while now. I have around 80,000 bees and we make hundreds of jars of honey a year.”

She then revealed how she got into her unique hobby, as she continued: "I started the beehives because my daughters, Blue and Rumi, both have terrible allergies, and honey has countless healing properties.”

Hear this: Kendall Jenner's bird calling

Many of us will often spot Kendall Jenner strutting her slim frame down a high-end catwalk, but it turns out that not only does she love nature, she also has a unique hobby that many may not expect.  

During an appearance on the James Corden Hidden Talents Show, Kendall revealed her talent – she has a knack for bird calling.

Revealing her talent to the audience, the model explained: “My hidden talent is making bird noises.” 

The Kardashian star proceeded to tweet, leaving the audience totally blown away at her unique ability. 

What the hair?!: Katy Perry's celebrity hair collection

While Kendall’s pastime is very wholesome indeed, Katy Perry’s might leave you shocked.

We all know that Katy Perry has rocked a number of beautiful hairstyles throughout the years, but it turns out that that the singer has made a hobby of collecting other celebrities' hair – yes, you heard that correctly.

In fact, she talked about it openly during a fan Q&A, and even admitted that she used to keep Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift's locks in her bag, as she explained: “One of the first times I went to the Grammy's, I got to share a dressing room with Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift.

“I asked them for a lock of their hair from each one of them, which is totally creepy, but awesome.

“I put little bows on them individually and put them in my purse. And that was my little secret and I’m a freak!”

Festive fun: Taylor Swift's homemade snow globes

When Taylor Swift isn’t writing songs or recording for her next album, you might just find her making snow globes.

The singer previously opened up about her DIY hobby that she picked up from Pinterest, as she revealed that she uses mason jars, antiques and glitter to create the gifts, which she often gives to her friends.

Not only is it something she enjoys doing, but she also claimed that putting them together makes her feel like a kid again.

Seriously sharp: Angelina Jolie's dagger collection

Perhaps not as wholesome as Taylor’s snowglobe hobby, it turns out that Angelina Jolie has a passion for collecting daggers.

Angelina previously told W Magazine about how her mother got her into the hobby and that she was passing it onto her son Maddox.

She shared: "My mum took me to buy my first daggers when I was 11 or 12 and I've already bought Maddox some things.
