In most relationships, the woman has the footwear fetish. But every couple has their quirks.

In a candid interview with O, The Oprah Magazine, Olivia Wilde dished about fiancé Jason Sudeikis' insanely large sneaker collection. And when we say insane, we mean it—the guy's got hundreds of pairs!

"He's a sneakerhead with about 200 pairs of Air Jordans. They make up an extraordinarily colorful wall in our apartment," Wilde shared in the July issue (on stands June 17th).

A pair of Air Jordan's will typically set you back about $150. Do the math and said shoe wall rings in at a hefty $30,000 worth of sneakers. That's a price tag that might make fictitious shoe-fanatic Carrie Bradshaw blush.

As for Wilde's own odd obsession, the new mom revealed her petite fixation—literally. "Miniature objects, anything tiny: furniture, cameras, trees – all of which you'll find scattered around my home," Wilde said. "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids is everything I could dream of in a film."

The House M.D. actress also opened up about the fashion staple she couldn't live without: blazers. "If you were to peek inside my closet, you'd think I was a newscaster or a politician—I have dozens of blazers," Wilde said. And while she loves to wear the tailored jackets, Wilde is guilty of having eyes bigger than her closet. "I always buy them, thinking they'll pull together an outfit, but then never wear them."

But eccentric collections and fashion aside, the actress also spilled her favorite hobby when she's not working on films or taking care of almost-two-month-old Otis Alexander.

"While shooting Cowboys & Aliens in New Mexico, Jon Favreau taught Daniel Craig and me how to paddleboard on a lake," Wilde said. "Daniel sank because he was too muscly, but my girl parts helped me balance!  Jon gave me a board as a parting gift, and it's become a lovely pastime – like surfing with training wheels."
