2. Frankie Muniz took a break from acting in 2006 and started racing professionally, but three years later, he got a season-ending injury during the ChampCar Atlantic Championship. However, in 2023, he returned to the track as a NASCAR driver.

4. Truly fulfilling her role as Queen B, Beyoncé is also a beekeeper.

5. David Arquette is passionate about clowns — specifically Bozo the Clown, whom he bought the rights to in 2021. Not only did he love the circus character as a kid, but he also wants to “rehabilitate” people’s perception of clowns after the success of the It movies.

9. As a theater student at the University of Illinois, Nick Offerman worked in the scene shop, and when he began acting professionally in Chicago, he supplemented his income by building props and sets.

His Parks & Recreation character, Ron Swanson, was also a woodworker.

10. Steve Martin is a banjo player and Grammy-winning musician. He taught himself to play the instrument at 17.

11. At age 38, Seth Rogen picked up pottery. In 2024, he told Q with Tom Power, “I am proud that I took [it] on as an adult. Most adults just don’t want to learn new things.”

His hobby grew into a company, Houseplant, which sells ashtrays, other smoking accessories, and home goods.

12. When filming ended on The Boxer, Daniel Day-Lewis spent 10 months studying shoemaking under Stefano Bemer, a master of the craft, in Florence.
