Matthew Fox – Football

Matthew Fox is best known for his performances as Charlie Salinger in “Party of Five” and Jack Shephard in the drama series “Lost.” Still, he also had a collegiate football career that most people are unaware of. His imposing personality grabbed the Columbia team’s notice, and he soon joined them. After a few victories and losses, Fox concluded that the sport might not be for him and sought a different route. He has gotten several Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy nominations for his acting abilities. I guess everything points him in the right direction.

Renée Zellweger – Cheerleading

Renée Zellweger rose to prominence with the film “Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation,” which led to leading parts in movies such as “Nurse Betty,” “Bridget Jones’ Diary,” and “The Thing About Pam,” and she was named one of the world’s highest-paid actresses in 2007. Zellweger promoted her appearances on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” where she showcased her secret yet incredible cheering talents. She said that while attending Katy High School, she attempted cheerleading, gymnastics, and debate. When Fallon asked her to do a reenactment of a seventh-grade routine, she promptly removed her stilettos, yelled a chant, and executed an incredibly high kick.
