For the past while, the actress has been sharing her process of fixing up her "dream car," a 1969 Ford Bronco, with her fans via her TikTok side account @syds_garage, E! News reports. The actress shared in October 2021 that the car officially runs, "Ran into bumps along the way with the transmission, but finally got the right valve and she's good! Now to start the fun stuff - interior!" And on January 14, 2023, she revealed that the car is "finally driveable." 

And if that weren't enough, Sweeney is also a trained mixed martial arts fighter, as she told Kelly Clarkson on her talk show last year that she got "very into" fighting and trained with Ronda Rousey's MMA Sensei.

Pitt had nine works on display, including his first ever sculpture, from 2017, 'House A Go Go': an 18-inch miniature house made out of tree bark, crudely held together with tape," reports CNN. The star reportedly started his journey with ceramic art after his divorce from Angelina Jolie in 2017, and in an emailed statement to The Art Newspaper, Pitt said of his artistic turn: "For me it's about self reflection... It was born out of ownership over what I call a 'radical inventory of the self'. And getting really brutally honest with me and taking account of those I may have hurt and the moments I've just gotten wrong."
