We all know Jonathan Franzen is a twitcher. But did you know Tom Hanks likes to collect 1940s typewriters? Or that Johnny Depp likes to play with dolls?
Sadly, Tom and the two Johnnies couldn’t be here, but Sam Pang has persuaded some almost as familiar faces to reveal their unlikely obsessions. Joining him will be Noni Hazlehurst and David Bridie.
