Joe Biden: The President With a Poetry Trick
Joe Biden’s been around the political block for ages. He was the 46th U.S. president, spent decades in the Senate, and even rocked the VP spot with Obama. The guy’s known for trying to get both sides to play nice. Fun fact? He beat a nasty stutter as a kid by reciting poetry to himself in the mirror. Talk about dedication!
Future: The Auto-Tune King Who Used to Be 'Meathead'
Future isn’t just any rapper – he’s the guy who made Auto-Tune on trap music totally cool. With hits that smashed charts back-to-back and even a Grammy under his belt, he’s no joke. Oh, and before all that fame? He went by 'Meathead'. Yeah, we know, wild!
Ming-Na Wen: The Voice Behind Mulan and More
Ming-Na Wen can do it all: voice acting, TV, and even a spot in the Star Wars galaxy. She gave life to Mulan, rocked it on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and played a cool bounty hunter in Star Wars. Bonus round: she once crushed it on a poker show. Also, bet you didn’t know she played a royal trumpeter on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. Random, right?
Joel McHale: From College Athlete to Comedy Whiz
Joel McHale’s got jokes and TV chops. You probably know him as the funny host of The Soup or Jeff from Community. But before the laughs, he was all about sports – on rowing and football teams at the University of Washington! Not your average actor’s start.
Oliver Sykes: Metal Meets Fashion
Oliver Sykes isn’t just the shouty frontman of Bring Me the Horizon who mixes metal with electronic vibes. He’s also the brains behind Drop Dead Clothing, a fashion brand with some serious edge. Oh, and he deals with sleep paralysis since he was 12 – spooky!
Dierks Bentley: The Country Singer Who Flies Planes
Dierks Bentley is your go-to guy for country tunes with a fresh twist. His first big hit? "What Was I Thinkin'?" fast-tracked him to the top. Oh, and he’s not just a singer – this guy’s got a pilot’s license and flies his own plane. How cool is that?
Carlos Boozer: Basketball Star With a Degree Comeback
Carlos Boozer slammed down as a pro basketball player with NBA All-Star creds and an Olympic gold medal. He played for the Utah Jazz and Bulls, making some serious noise. And here’s the kicker — he went back to finish his college degree nearly 20 years after leaving for the NBA. Talk about dedication!
Nadine Velazquez: Actress and Pilot Extraordinaire
Nadine Velazquez caught attention as Catalina on My Name Is Earl and later starred alongside Denzel Washington in Flight. But here’s the twist — she’s also a licensed pilot. Yeah, she’s got an adventurous side flying planes when she’s not acting.
Kimberley Walsh: From Girl Group to West End
Kimberley Walsh rocked it as part of girl group Girls Aloud, scoring twenty straight top ten hits. After singing, she showed off her acting skills on the West End stage and even had a go at TV presenting. Fun surprise: before all that, she was teaching drama at a theater school. Who knew?
Rhys Wakefield: From Sailing Songs to Directing
Rhys Wakefield started his acting journey singing a sailor’s song in high school (yes, really!). He made a splash with the film The Black Balloon and later shifted gears to directing with his debut film Berserk. Multi-talented much?
