Emma Roberts' secret hobby revealed as she makes surprise appearance at Fanatics event
Emma Roberts ' secret hobby has been revealed as the star made an appearance at Fanatics Fest 2025 on Friday in New York City.
The American Horror Story actress, 34 - who turned heads at the Zimmermann Summer event this week - joined other celebrities during the festivities, such as retired NFL player Tom Brady.
The mom-of-one is no stranger when it comes to the world of sports, and has dropped hints about one of her passions: collecting trading cards.
Earlier this year in January, Roberts jumped to her Instagram stories to reveal that she pulled a Jackson Holliday Topps Chrome card. Holliday is an infielder for the Baltimore Orioles.
She uploaded a snap of herself at the time as she held the card and placed one of her hands over her mouth in excitement.
In text added towards the top of the photo, Emma penned to her followers: 'the face of pulling my most covered 1/1. #1of1day @topps.'
And earlier this year in April, the beauty shared a photo dump onto her main page - and showcased more cards that she had pulled.
One of them included an autographed Caleb Williams card - who is known as the quarterback of the Chicago Bears.
Roberts was pictured sitting at a table inside what appeared to be restaurant with cards and unopened foil packages placed in front of her.
She gave a look at the Williams card by holding it up towards the camera and held a big smile on her face.
The last image in the post showed two Star Wars cards, with one of Darth Vader and the other Mustafar.
At the time, some social media users jumped to the comment section of the post to share their thoughts of the actress's subtle hint at her secret hobby.
One had penned, 'A collector!' followed by clapping hand emojis, while another typed, 'Those cards are awesome, good pulls!'
'Sweater matching the pack foils??? Operating on elite levels at the moment,' a fan added, referencing to the card packaging.

One had penned, 'A collector!' followed by clapping hand emojis, while another typed, 'Those cards are awesome, good pulls!'
One shared, 'And you rip cards?!' while another commented, 'Bro we need pack opening videos. Let us scratch that itch.'
Emma had the chance to take part in a discussion at 2025 Fanatics Fest on Friday for the panel: Ready. Set. Collect.
On the stage, she was also joined by retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady as well as Logan Paul.
The Scream Queens alum wore a sleeveless, dark blue-patterned dress which was paired with sheer black tights and heels.
Her reddish locks were parted in the middle and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves.
The star - who has previously sported blonde locks - debuted the new hair color earlier this year in February.
Just days earlier before whisking herself to NYC, the actress put on a stylish display as she enjoyed time in Mykonos, Greece.
On Tuesday, she attended the Zimmerman Summer lunch and wore a patterned sundress as well as a pair of open-toed, tan pumps.
Her locks were styled into two braids and she also carried a fashionable bag in her hands to hold items she needed during the event.
Emma additionally sported a pair of large shades to protect her eyes from the bright sunshine at the venue near the ocean.
And one day earlier on Monday, the star was spotted posing for a brief photo session on a sandy area near the water.
She wore a semi-sheer dress that fell down past her ankles at the Zimmerman Summer event. Other stars were also in attendance including actress Olivia Wilde.
While Roberts recently revealed her passion for trading cards, the star has another known hobby: reading books.
Back in 2017, she notably launched the online reading community Belletrist with close friend Karah Preiss.
During an interview with People last year, Emma opened up about choosing books for the club and admitted that 'there is no formula.'
She added, 'It's genuinely whatever moves us. But I will say this...we try to pick books that we read and then need to talk about. That's what makes a good Belletrist pick. You read it and you're like: I gotta talk to someone about this - now!'
Roberts has been in a relationship with actor Cody John since 2022, and the couple announced their engagement last year in July.
The actress is also mom to son Rhodes, four - whom she shares with ex Garrett Hedlund.

John Travolta transforms into Grease character Danny Zuko for sing-along event
John Travolta gave fans the 'chills' when he made a surprise appearance at a Grease sing-along in Los Angeles on Friday night. The actor, 71, stepped back in time to reprise his role as Danny Zuko from the 1978 hit musical. She shared on social media: 'Tonight at the Hollywood Bowl, for the first time I surprised everyone at the Grease sing-along and dressed up as Danny Zuko.' Go, greased lightnin': He reprised his role as Danny Zuko from the 1978 hit musical He added: 'No one knew. Not even the cast. Thank you for a great evening.' He adopted his character's swagger as he stepped on stage wearing dark jeans, a tight black T-shirt, and a black leather jacket. The actor, who has been sporting a shaved head, wore a wig styled into a greaser-friendly ducktail, along with a scruffy beard. He then joined Grease cast members Didi Conn, Barry Pearl, Michael Tucci, Kelly Ward, and director Randal Kleiser on stage. Taking the microphone, Travolta delivered some of his iconic lines from the moment Danny reunites with his Summer Nights sweetheart Sandy (played by the late Olivia Newton-John) on the first day of school at Rydell High. 'I thought you were going back to Australia!' and then remembering he was the big man on campus, dropped into the nonchalant, 'that's cool, that's cool, that's cool baby,' I'm rockin' and rollin' and whatnot.' He then led the cast and audience in a chant of 'A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam-boom!' Standing in front of a big screen, he then told the crowd, 'Enjoy the show. We love you!'

Soccer culture clash at Club World Cup as American woman reports Argentine fans to cops over 'throwing beer and shoving' - but they say SHE was wrong
A clash of cultures erupted at Seattle's Lumen Field during the Club World Cup as an American woman reported a group of Argentine fans to stadium staff and police. The tensions occurred during Inter Milan 's 2-0 victory over River Plate earlier in the week - a match that was heated on the pitch as well, with the Buenos Aires side receiving two red cards and six booking issued in total. The woman described being surrounded by River fans who refused to respect assigned seating and crowded into her section in raucous fashion. She explained on social media that the situation turned physical when she confronted the fans, claiming they threw beer on her and shoved her boyfriend away. She called security, and eventually local police arrived to intervene. The woman could be heard screaming in a video uploaded on TikTok: 'This is our seat, we paid for the seat.' One of the River fans responded: 'We paid too,' before the American woman demanded they showed their tickets. @_jung_kook_wifey We approach them with our tickets in our hand and they're like 'there's no assigned seats' like we don't go to almost every Sounder game and know the drill. They got aggressive real quick throwing beer and shoving my bf and pulling my hair. #ClubWorldCup ♬ original sound - lou ❀𓇼𓏲☘︎ River Plate fans ignored ticket allocations and sat in her set, leading to a heated confrontation The woman alleged that beer was thrown on her hair and that her boyfriend was shoved away The River fan then said: 'You can sit anywhere, it doesn't matter [about] your ticket,' much to the woman's frustration, who insisted again: 'It does. This is our seat, we paid for the seat.' In South American football culture, supporters often cluster together and ignore seat assignments on their tickets. The woman recognised this, but argued that these norms do not override the fact she paid for a specific seat. She wrote on TikTok: 'I can support futbol culture but that does not mean disregarding the stadium's rules or jurisdiction. 'This was not a general admission event! Otherwise, tickets would have been priced THE SAME. 'Choosing to ignore assigned seating - and worse, attempting to physically intimidate or assault others out of their PAID spaces - is not only entitled, it's unlawful. 'You cannot assault your way into getting what you want just because you are not 'used to the customs set in place.' However, many fans under the woman's video did not extend any sympathy, arguing she should have been prepared for a culture clash before buying her tickets. The woman went on to accuse one fan of swearing and smoking a cigarette in the ground One fan commented: 'In South America your ticket gets you into the stands and no seat allocation as no one sits down anyway. The seats are a free for fall, if you come late. You lose out. So happy Americans are getting a taste of real football.' Another wrote: 'That's how it works in ultras sector. You should know that before you buy tickets.' A third said: 'To be fair in South America and many countries, seat allocations don't matter. You sit where there's space.' The woman shared more details of the incident in another slideshow on TikTok, where she went on to reveal that one man was also swearing at her and smoking a cigarette in the ground.

"And what that told me is even when you tell yourself you're ready, if you're living a good life, you're never really ready for it to end,' she said. 'So I hope I feel that way. Even though I've been ready for it, because it's been good and purposeful. That I'll feel like, 'I wish I had more time.' So I'm trying to live my life like that."
