Many celebrities are known for their talents in music, sports, or entertainment, but some have unexpected hobbies outside of their main careers. From running marathons to gardening and even beekeeping, these stars prove they have a wide range of skills!

Superstar DJ Calvin Harris has a surprising passion for gardening. The We Found Love hitmaker has taken a break from music in the past to grow vegetables like carrots, peppers, and watermelon.

Beyoncé, known for her powerful voice, also has a hobby that fits perfectly with her fanbase name—the Beyhive. In a 2020 interview, she revealed she keeps two beehives with around 80,000 bees. She started beekeeping to produce honey for her daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi, to help with their allergies.

Olympic diver Tom Daley found a creative outlet in knitting. First spotted knitting at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, he quickly became known for his impressive handmade creations. Since retiring from diving, he has launched his own knitting brand and will soon host Game of Wool, a knitting competition on Channel 4.

Singer Anne-Marie, before becoming a chart-topping artist, was a three-time world champion in karate. She has even incorporated her martial arts skills into her music, releasing a song called Karate and a series of instructional YouTube videos.

Pop star Harry Styles recently showed off his athletic side by running the Tokyo Marathon on March 2. He completed the 26.2-mile race in an impressive 3 hours and 24 minutes, placing 6,010th out of over 37,000 runners.
