Renee Zellweger

As unlikely as it seems, Zellweger has not always been a cool and confident actress. Zellweger was part of the cheerleading squad during her tenure at Katy High School in Katy, Texas, in which she flipped, dipped, and did the occasional handspring. Those skills remain with Zellweger because she still seems to have the moves! The Jimmy Fallon Show stopped the Bridget Jones’ Diary star to show off her cheerleading skills, as well as her beautifully toned legs.

Amy Poehler

Before she started making America laugh at programs such as Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock, and Parks and Recreation, Poehler was energizing audiences at football games at her high school. Poehler moved from Boston to Burlington, Massachusetts, as a teenager, from 1986 to 1989 to be a pom-pom cheerleader at Burlington High School. She graduated from Boston College with a Communication degree after high school and then Poehler moved to Chicago, where she kept on developing her comedic skills. No doubt she’s been a cheerleader, she can uplift anyone she meets based on her bubbly personality.
