Matthew Fox – Football

Matthew Fox is best known for his roles as Charlie Salinger in “Party of Five” and as Jack Shephard in the drama series “Lost.” But another real-life persona that most people are unaware of is his collegiate football career. His commanding presence drew the attention of the Columbia team, and he eventually joined them. Fox realized that the sport might not be for him after a few wins and losses and sought a new path. I suppose everything just lead him to where he’s supposed to be. He has received multiple Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy nods for his acting talents.

Renée Zellweger – Cheerleading

Renée Zellweger rose to notoriety with the film “Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation,” which led to starring roles in films such as “Nurse Betty,” “Bridget Jones’ Diary,” and “The Thing About Pam.” In 2007, she was also ranked one of the world’s highest-paid actresses. Zellweger demonstrated her hidden yet amazing cheerleading skills on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” while promoting her stints. She claimed that she tried cheerleading, gymnastics, and debating while attending Katy High School back then. When Fallon requested her to reenact a seventh-grade routine, she quickly removed her stilettos, chanted a chant, and performed an excellent high kick.
