00:00What's the food Scarlett Johansson can't get enough of?
00:03What show is Robert Pattinson the biggest fan of?
00:06What obsession keeps Emma Watson motivated?
00:09Keep watching to find out what bizarre obsessions celebrities have!
00:12Pretty Little Liars star Shay Mitchell loves to give whatever she's eating a little kick
00:16by carrying around her favorite hot sauce in her purse.
00:19She basically has an obsession with the spicy stuff, specifically Sriracha hot chili sauce.
00:24In 2017, Mitchell's assistant Sammy Rosenman revealed to People magazine she likes this
00:28trifecta of hot sauce.
00:29Depending on what she's eating, there's a chili oil from Africa that we fly in, there's
00:33Tabasco, and there's Sriracha.
00:35In a 2019 interview with The Strategist, Mitchell shared that certain items she can't live without
00:40include a portable charger, lip balm, and of course, her hot sauce.
00:43She added,
00:44"'My food' is just a vessel for my hot sauce."
00:46At one time on Instagram, Mitchell posted a photo of packets of Sriracha sauce, along
00:50with the caption,
00:51"'They finally got all my letters!
00:53Happy National Hot Sauce Day, also known as my own personal holiday.'"
00:56Scarlett Johansson first played Black Widow in 2010's Iron Man 2.
01:00So how does one prepare for the role of a superhero?
01:03As her trainer Eric Johnson revealed to The Hollywood Reporter, she adopted a strict workout
01:07and diet that included weightlifting and gymnastics.
01:09As the actress admitted to Fox 411,
01:11"'The training is crazy, but you just suck it up and do it.
01:14There was a lot of strength training and agility training and fight choreography.
01:18You go in and you just do it.'"
01:19But when Johansson isn't in the gym breaking a sweat or sticking to a diet, she indulges
01:23in her hankering for chicken wings.
01:25As she confessed to Fox 411,
01:26"'Oh my God, I am obsessed with buffalo chicken wings.
01:29I am addicted to them.
01:30You will have to roll me down the red carpet next time you see me.'"
01:33And as this particular interview ended, Johansson could be heard whispering to her publicist,
01:37"'I can't stop eating them.
01:38I just can't get enough.'"
01:40Nobody loves All Hallows' Eve the way Ariana Grande does.
01:43Simply put, she's a diehard fan of anything and everything spooky.
01:46"'I love being scared.
01:47I think it's so much fun.'"
01:49With such an affinity for Halloween, it makes sense that Grande goes all out when choosing
01:53her costumes.
01:54In 2019, for example, she paid tribute to the Twilight Zone episode, "'Eye of the Beholder,"
01:58in which a woman undergoes surgery to look normal.
02:00Then in 2020, she took a break from dressing up due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as she instead
02:05posted a photo of a black kitten with fat wings and fangs on Instagram.
02:08The very next year, she outdid herself when she paid homage to the classic horror film
02:12Creature from the Black Lagoon by turning herself into the title creature.
02:16When Grande answered Us Weekly's 25 Things You Don't Know About Me feature in 2014, several
02:20of her answers illustrated her love for all things scary.
02:24For example, she admitted,
02:25"...I wish every day were Halloween.
02:27And I have had a sick obsession with horror movies since I was little."
02:30She also revealed,
02:31"...I love theme parks and look forward to Universal's Halloween Horror Nights all year."
02:35And it got especially creepy when she admitted,
02:37"...my mom thought I'd grow up to be a serial killer because I wore Halloween masks around
02:41the house."
02:43Emma Watson has a lot in common with her Harry Potter character, Hermione Granger.
02:46And as far as obsessions go, this one sounds pretty healthy.
02:49As she once said in an interview,
02:50"...I love learning.
02:51I'm just addicted to knowledge.
02:53It just, like, makes me happy.
02:54It keeps me motivated."
02:55In 2010, Watson was promoting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and attending
03:00Brown University in Rhode Island at the same time.
03:02Although being in the beloved films allowed her to learn about all parts of the world
03:06and work with acting greats like Alan Rickman and Gary Oldman, it still wasn't enough for
03:10Watson.
03:11As she admitted,
03:12"...I don't think that by doing these movies I know everything.
03:14I just feel like that's the point of being alive, to try and understand the world that's
03:18around you.
03:19It just keeps me in touch with real life."
03:21Watson graduated from Brown in 2014 with a bachelor's in English literature.
03:25She marked the occasion by tweeting a photo of herself in her cap and gown, captioned
03:28with a simple exclamation mark.
03:31It's not exactly a secret that Jason Segel is a fan of puppets.
03:34As proof, how could we forget the vampire puppet musical and forgetting Sarah Marshall?
03:38As it turns out, that was based on something he wrote before the movie even existed.
03:42As he admitted to Vulture in 2011,
03:44"...I came up with the conclusion that the way I was going to jumpstart my career was
03:47with a lavish Dracula puppet musical."
03:49"...You know what, I didn't realize that it was a comedy and then someone told me that
03:53and it just, like, opened the whole thing up."
03:56And then there's 2011's The Muppets, which Segel starred in and co-wrote.
03:59At the time of that movie's release, he noted to Vulture,
04:02"...this generation from zero to 12, they've grown up with no Muppet movie in their lives.
04:06And that just seemed crazy to me, because it really influenced who I wanted to be."
04:10Considering all this, it should come as no surprise that Segel has his very own collection
04:14of puppets.
04:15As he admitted,
04:16"...I thought I have a slightly bigger house now, so I have one room that's sort of dedicated
04:19to puppets.
04:20But for a long time, I lived in a one-bedroom apartment that was just crammed with puppets.
04:24It's why I'm still single."
04:25In a 2014 interview with The Guardian, Segel revealed that he even has a puppet that looks
04:29just like him.
04:30As he detailed,
04:31"...I have the ones I started out with as a kid and used to make films with.
04:34But now I have new ones too.
04:36When I did The Muppets, there was a Jason Segel Muppet, which I eventually got to keep.
04:40That's really the height of arrogance, to have a puppet of yourself in your own house."
04:44Jennifer Aniston loves staying in shape, and you can thank her obsession to yoga for that.
04:48The Friends alum has been working with yoga instructor Mandy Inkber, and she has only
04:52glowing things to say about the practice.
04:54As she put in a testimonial on Inkber's website,
04:56"...when I started doing yoga with Mandy, I noticed many things.
04:59My legs getting leaner, my arms getting stronger, and most importantly, I noticed an inner strength."
05:04When Allure asked Inkber about Aniston's favorite move, she revealed,
05:07"...tree pose.
05:08She is a balancer.
05:09It's funny because she's balanced as a woman, too.
05:12Whatever balance pose I put her in, whether it's tree, half moon, or warrior three, she
05:16can hold those for quite a bit.
05:17Also, all of the balancing moves employ the core, and she has great abs.
05:21She's always looking to work that area."
05:23Aniston has also even appeared in an instructional video for Inkber.
05:26"...she brought yoga into my life, and it completely changed my life."
05:31If you ever get the chance to take a peek in Emmy Rossum's bag, you'll discover just
05:34how much she loves cheese.
05:36In a 2015 interview with The Cut, she talked about her wellness tips, how she maintains
05:40her physical and mental health, and her one particular obsession.
05:43As she put it,
05:44"...I have a string cheese addiction.
05:46I can't keep them in the house.
05:47It's not something I would eat with other people.
05:49It's not like I'll pull out some string cheese when I'm having a glass of wine with a group
05:52of friends.
05:53It's just something I like to have when I'm on the go, and I don't have to think about
05:56it.
05:57I guess it could be a lot worse."
05:58In general, Rossum tries to eat clean, but she won't deprive herself of foods that she
06:02craves.
06:03As she told The Cut in 2017,
06:04"...I eat everything.
06:05I eat sugar.
06:06I eat carbohydrates.
06:07I eat gluten-free breads."
06:08And evidently, all roads lead back to cheese, as she also admitted,
06:11"...I love burrata so much.
06:13I want to take a burrata-making class."
06:16Mindy Kaling has a very particular sweet tooth.
06:18In June 2021, she shared on Instagram a three-minute video that she captioned,
06:22"...my strange addiction," as she took fans on a taste test of her favorite kind of candy,
06:27Australian red licorice.
06:28In the video, the actor goes through four brands of licorice, as she explains where
06:31they're made and tries each one while also judging their color and appearance.
06:35As she admits at one point,
06:36"...When I tell people that I like Australian red licorice, and then they show up at my
06:39house with, like, the licorice that you get from, like, the gas station, I think that
06:42tastes like eating birthday candles."
06:44During the taste test, Kaling compared the licorice to the Hemsworth brothers, who just
06:48so happen to be Australian.
06:49For her, choosing a brand of her favorite candy is as difficult as choosing one of those
06:53Aussie boys, even though she quickly chose Liam as her number one.
06:56Kaling ultimately opted for a brand called Dara Lee as her top choice, but it's safe
07:00to say that she approves of all of them.
07:03If you need a few coins for a parking meter or a load of laundry, then Kristen Chenoweth
07:06is your girl.
07:07As she revealed on a 2012 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she has an odd obsession with
07:12quarters.
07:13As she put it,
07:14"...I obsess on saving them.
07:15I gotta have quarters.
07:16I gotta have them in my car.
07:17I have jars of quarters.
07:18And I stash them away.
07:19And the minute I get home from a shopping trip or any trip, I put all the quarters away,
07:23and I save the quarters, and I don't know what it is."
07:26Chenoweth also noted that she probably started her collection when she was a starving actor
07:29in New York and worried about not being able to do her laundry.
07:33According to her, she even gets a high when she needs to use one of her quarters and goes
07:36so far as cleaning them with Purell.
07:38And that's not Chenoweth's only obsession.
07:40As she tweeted in December 2020,
07:42"...I'm addicted to Popeye's Chicken Sandwich.
07:44Must have every day.
07:45The struggle is real."
07:46And back in 2015, she tweeted about her appreciation for a certain Bravo reality series, as she
07:51admitted,
07:52"...Don't judge me, people.
07:53I finally gotten in bed and I'm addicted to Southern Charm.
07:56Can't be helped."
07:57In general, reality TV seems to be a pretty big part of her media diet, because that same
08:01year, she told The New York Times,
08:02"...I am obsessed with the following.
08:04Real housewives of any county.
08:06It doesn't matter.
08:07Vanderpump rules.
08:08Dance moms."
08:09Needless to say, this Broadway icon has impeccable taste.
08:12Believe it or not, Twilight star Robert Pattinson is a big fan of Antiques Roadshow.
08:16The British program features regular people getting their items appraised and learning
08:20the history of their pieces.
08:21As Pattinson admitted to The Sun,
08:23"...I used to love it.
08:24I think secretly every kid did, but it's not the coolest thing to admit."
08:27He also revealed,
08:28"...I love the faces of posh people when they think that something is going to be valued
08:32at more than it is, and when it's under, they are gutted.
08:35I also love the faces of the genuine people who have found something in their loft.
08:38When they find out what it is worth, they are genuinely delighted, and you know it's
08:41going to change their life."
08:43And when he's watching, there's a good chance that he has a certain soda in his hand.
08:47As he once revealed in another interview,
08:48"...I was just taking out my trash and I had like 300 cans of Diet Coke.
08:52It was just like, how did that happen?
08:54I don't even remember buying them.
08:56I also like Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
08:57My addictions are pretty much the only things I consume."
09:00"...This.
09:01Okatoni.
09:02And a Diet Coke."
09:05It's worth noting, though, that what Pattinson says should be taken with a grain of salt,
09:09as he's been known to fib during interviews.
