Penélope Cruz: Coat hanger collection
Some people collect interesting things: stamps, bottle caps, postcards from various countries, but the collection Penélope Cruz has falls into the category ‘kind of weird’. The Vanilla Sky-actress collects coat hangers! Yes, the things you use to put up your clothes and coats in your closet. Those things. There is not a whole lot of information about the collection and Cruz does not talk about it much, but it is said that her collection consists of over 500(!) hangers; all of them in different shapes and sizes and all of them are created from non-metallic materials.
The collection might have something to do with her work as a fashion designer but where it originated is unknown. At least it makes for an interesting collection, and she won’t have to worry about where to hang up the 25-piece collection she and her sister Monica designed. Then she’ll still have the meager amount of 475 coathangers left to look at.
Collecting something as bland as coathangers definitely doesn’t feel glamorous. But the next celeb also proves that famous people are just as ‘normal’ as we are.
