George Clooney – Baseball

George Clooney is undeniably one of the most successful actors in Hollywood. However, as it turns out, acting wasn’t even his first choice! Clooney used to play baseball back in high school, and at the age of 16 he tried out for the pro baseball team, the Cincinnati Reds.

Unfortunately, he did not get a contract but that proved to be quite fortunate for the rest of us because we got to see his talents on screen. He’s starred in many great projects over the years like “Ocean’s Eleven,” “Batman and Robin,” and the 2020 film, “The Midnight Sky.”
