Nicolas Cage's obsession with being Nicolas Cage. that's to keep the universe from imploding in a ball of crazy. He's really dropped the ball on that one.

Jerry Lawler has an obsession with Coca-Cola related memorabilia. And silver age comic books. Same with Cornette. Cornette supposedly has a huge Silver Age Marvel collection. Superman memorabilia specifically. And Coca-Cola memorabilia. Ironically enough, he likes a lot of vintage things, just not his girlfriends.

From what I understand Dan Akroyd is just as obsessed with the paranormal as Ray Stanz. If anything, he toned it down a bit.

This isn't really weird, I guess, but I always found it so strange that such a proud son of Tennessee like Jerry Lawler would be such a huge fan of the Cleveland Indians and the Cleveland Browns. Lawler was on the Steve Austin podcast once and kind of explained where the obsession came from. Lawler is straight edge. He didn't drink or party with the other wrestlers after the shows. As a young wrestler, he would leave after the shows while the other wrestlers partied and he would be alone. So, he said he's driving miles and miles and miles by himself and he would put the radio on the sports station and the games for the Cleveland Browns would come on and he would just lose himself in those and became a huge fan. He even says that he thinks that those radio games may have saved his life by keeping him alert and engaged while driving instead of falling asleep behind the wheel. Mind you, this story is being recited from my memory, so a detail or two may be a tad bit off, but this is the gist of it.

Cage is obsessed with Superman/Comics isn't he? Tarantino and feet? Allegedly. Cage is also an Elvis mark to the point that he married his daughter. The Fact that Michael Jackson and Nicholas Cage both married the same Lady always tripped me out.

Jim Carrey is reportedly a huge death metal fan, which is why Cannibal Corpse was in Ace Ventura.

The only source I have is Schwarzenegger's biography, but he claims Clint Eastwood was notoriously cheap and just kept wardrobe from his films to wear day to day.

Freddie Prinze Jr being into wrestling enough to write for the WWE for a time has to be up there.

Tarantino and feet? Allegedly. I think that has been pretty well established by now. To his credit, he seems to be able to keep it as a "hey, this scene is kinda weird and unnecessarily focused" level and has yet to make it the focal point of any of his films. Yet... It would be kinda funny, actually if it were. His first film that was international jeered, yet took home every single award from the International Foot Fetishists Film Association Guild. Yeah there's no allegedly; if you watch 2 or 3 of his movies in a row, even if you've never heard it before, it's right in your face "this dude likes toes."

To paraphrase George Clooney: "Quentin Tarantino wrote a scene for himself sucking Salma Hayek's toes, while I had to fight a giant rat."

What's even weirder about that is that he grew up in a fairly moneyed Californan family, even during the formative years of the Great Depression. You really have to wonder where these things come from in his background.

A ton of actors have it written into their contracts that they can keep their wardrobe after filming (or at least have their pick). Kevin Smith once shared a story of how Shannon Doherty got pissed off because because she hated most of the things her character in Mallrats wore, so didn't keep any of it. IIRC, Morena Baccarin kept a couple of the dresses she wore in Firefly and Nathan Fillion kept at least one of the coats he wore.

Yeah, it depends on the production, obviously, and probably also on if it can or will be re-used or re-purposed. Like, one random one I remember was that Bella Thorne was budgeted a certain amount for her wardrobe in that Amityville movie she was in, while weirdly, her contract stipulated that she would not be reimbursed for underwear purchased for the role. Which is especially an odd thing to stipulate considering she DOES have an underwear scene in the film, so no idea what the heck that was about.

"The Honeymooners" Jackie Gleason was obsessed with UFOs. Also, while not as unusual, he did almost all of his own pool playing in the Hustler.
