Celebrities Who Were Athletes before Their Rise to Fame

Charlie Sheen – Baseball

Charlie Sheen started his career in the ‘70s and has since starred in many well-known projects. Some of his most notable works include, “Two and a Half Men,” “Wall Street,” and “The Three Musketeers.” Since 2021, he has been starring in the TV show, “Végsebesség.”

In the ‘80s, he starred in a film about baseball called “Major League” and his past hobbies truly helped him in his role. Sheen used to play baseball back in high school and was the relief pitcher for Santa Monica High back in the day.

Avril Lavigne – Hockey

“Sk8r Boi”? More like Sk8r Girl. By the age of 2, singer Avril Lavigne was in ice skates. She started skating quite early on and her love for the sport continued even when she became a superstar. She would take her rollerblades on tour so she could play hockey.

Ice Hockey is the national sport of Canada and that is where Lavigne hails from so it makes sense she took up the sport. She’s mostly focused on her music these days and in 2022 she released the song, “Love it when you Hate me.”

Jason Sudeikis – Basketball

Jason Sudeikis has built a name for himself in the world of acting and comedy and is best known for starring in projects like “We’re the Millers,” “Horrible Bosses,” and “Ted Lasso” since 2020. He is quite a successful actor but we wonder what it would be like had he pursued his other passion: basketball!

He played basketball throughout high school and even played against some stars like the NBA player Tyronn Lue. Sudeikis was a rising point guard in his home state of Kansas before he opted for a career in comedy.

Ellen DeGeneres – Tennis

The host of the insanely popular “Ellen DeGeneres Show” may have taken up comedy and presenting as her main occupation but, perhaps, she could have also opted for a career in tennis. Ellen DeGeneres loves the sport and has also taken part in a few celebrity tournaments.

Seems like matchmaking within the sport is also her thing because she tried to set up tennis star Naomi Osaka with Michael B. Jordan. Perhaps, she’ll have to take up either of these jobs considering the fact that her show is ending in 2022.

 

Matthew Fox  – Football

Matthew Fox is an actor who is best known for his role in “Lost,” “Party of Five,” and “Lost: The Final Journey.” Fox took a break from acting and after an 11-year hiatus from television; he returned in 2021 to star in “Last Light.”

Fox is a great actor but we can’t say he is a great sportsman. He played football in college and actually lost 44 games straight during that time. When he played wide receiver for Colombia, he had a 2-38 record. No wonder he made the switch to acting!

Renée Zellweger – Cheerleading

Renée Zellweger is an award-winning actress who has starred in many hit projects over the years including, “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” “Me, Myself and Irene,” and “The Whole Truth.” In 2022, she was seen in the show “The Thing About Pam.” Zellweger is quite fit and that is because she was an athlete back in the day.

She took up cheerleading in high school and showed off her skills on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” She still has a pretty impressive high kick, by the way, and her cheers are great, too!
