When you're part of the rich and famous, you're able to pull off some things others just aren't. One of these things is keeping strange and exotic pets, we all dreamed of having leopards or raccoons or even monkeys as pets as kids. These stars were able to make it happen!
The beautiful and elegant Reese Witherspoon seems to have a thing for donkeys! This handsome pet has been with her for a long time, and she always speaks fondly of it when the subject of pets comes up. Maybe there's a little farm girl in her hanging on through the Hollywood glitz?
Nicholas Cage has what may be the most exotic and strange pet of all the ones we've found. With a specially maintained aquarium to keep his cephalopod friend entertained, Nicholas Cage shares a special love of these magnificent creatures.
Oh Miley, the jokes that could be made. Considering your recent performances and outlandish sense of "style", perhaps it makes sense that you have a redneck sort of pet to accompany your rather crass sense of 'shock value'.
Steven, I have to admit these are cute little bandits. I've always wanted one myself, but Steven Tyler makes a point of keeping these exotic pets as his best friends. With those bright eyes, clever hands, and adorable bandit mask, can you blame him?
Michael Jackson, may he rest in peace, is here as kind of a memorial to his great star. He was always known for having this chimpanzee around as one of his favorite pets. When it got older it started to show signs of aggression and had to be sent to a proper retreat/shelter for animals such as these where it could live among its own kind.
Leonardo DiCaprio is probably the only member of this list of exotic pet owners that has a pet that may very well outlive him. These amazing creatures set a slow and steady pace, and that carries over to a lifespan of nearly 80 years. That could very well be longer than his owners career!
Edward may have wound up being the leading man in the movies, but based on her wolf-dog hybrid pet Jack, Kristen would rather have wound up with Jacob. Not that any of us blame her, he was definitely the more handsome and vibrant of the two. Maybe it's the pulse?
Justin Bieber, much maligned and reviled, has taken the very symbol of evil as his own pet. Somehow we are neither surprised nor entirely certain that his wailing assault upon the music industry isn't part of some diabolical plan to make us all gouge our ears out. Whatever the case, the snake is certainly more handsome than the boy-man.
Is anyone surprised that Elvis had a great love of exotic pets? I don't know that a kangaroo would have been my choice if you asked me what his favored pet was, but judging by the look on his face, he adored that little marsupial.
I dunno, if you ask me it seems like there isn't a whole lot of bacon to be gotten out of a pig that size. David Beckham keeps these incredibly tiny porkers as pets, and you can't deny they're adorable.
