Michael Douglas

It is understandable that Michael Douglas is thrilled with the idea of following in the footsteps of his father. Douglas became a famous actor, as did his father. But he joined his cheerleading squad at Choate Preparatory School before acting too. Douglas has received notice for his humanitarian and political activism, as well as media attention for his marriage to Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, in addition to his acting career. Long story short, the Douglas men have many surprising means of being talented as well as kindhearted.

Paul Rudd

Paul Rudd is definitely not aging – he established a reputation for himself as the ever-so-lovable stud in Hollywood. Rudd was a cheerleader, or “yell leader,” when he was a high school student in Overland Park, Kansas, way before he became one of the industry’s favorite actors. He was also elected president of the Student Body – which does not really come as much surprise as his smile is contagious.  I mean, who could resist him? No one, I bet! Interesting tidbit, cheerleading was a predominantly male sport up until around 70 years ago!
