It’s a great thing to do with your kids,” he said. “Once, I was exploring different characters with the Barbies and my daughter didn’t like it. At one point she said, ‘Dad, please just stop, don’t do that, just do your regular voice’.” And if you think that’s weird, check this out: Johnny also collects pigeon skeletons.

    We all have hobbies, why would you think these hobbies were weird. Just because these people are celebrities??? I know many ladies, how are computer games geeks and why not Mila Kunis be one of them??? Knitting and sewing used to be the favorite hobbies by the nobility in a row of several centuries. Even if you can afford buying everything that is done beautifully, it is not the same ass adding to the home hearth with your own creativity. Besides, knitting tranquil many people and Amanda Seyfried is not an exception. Leo’s hobby can seem a little childish, but why not keeping the inner child alive?
