Katie Couric
Katie Couric is famous the world over for journalism, thanks to appearing as the global anchor for “Yahoo! News” and “60 Minutes”, two of the most famous news programs around. But this famous news face spent plenty of her time as a cheerleader at the various high schools she attended as a teen, in and around Arlington, Virginia.
She certainly had some moves back in the day, as you can see from the picture here, and she’s already working on her journalist’s smile, too. She is the founder of her own news production company, “Katie Couric Media,” which led to her being introduced to the Television Hall of Fame.
Chrissy Teigen
Chrissy Teigen was born in Utah. Her mother is from Thailand, and her father is an American with a Swedish background. This all explains the dazzling features this beauty has. Teigen has a long history of making the internet go wild with every picture she posts, but even before she was a famous model, she danced with the rest of the cheerleading team at Snohomish High School.
She posted an Instagram picture of herself with a few of her old teammates in the Panthers' red and white uniform, and her eye-catching black hair and heart-stopping smile are already on display.
Christina Aguilera
Before she was a world-famous diva, the beautiful and talented singer Christina Aguilera used to cheer her little heart out at North Allegheny Intermediate High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And right after her cheerleading career, she joined Disney's "The Mickey Mouse Club," which was just the beginning of a wildly successful career.
In 1999, Aguilera broke music records with her hit track, "Genie in a Bottle." Her career skyrocketed after that, and this music star went on to produce several albums, win five Grammys, and even act in major blockbusters like "Burlesque." Fun Fact; her first television appearance was on "Star Search" in 1990.
George W. Bush
If someone would have told you that the highest-ranked position in the country, the president of the United States of America, could start his or her political career as a cheerleader, we have a feeling some brows would rise. Former U.S. President George W. Bush wasn't always a senior man in the White House.
Before he was one of the most recognized men on Earth, Bush was a preppy cheerleader at the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. He cheered with a megaphone, was the head cheerleader of his squad during senior year, and also played baseball. He went on to attend Yale University and Harvard Business School, which eventually led him to the coveted position of president of the free world.
Kylie Jenner
Sisters often do things together, and the Kardashians, as many know, are no exception. Kendall was a cheerleader, and so was Kylie. She was eventually homeschooled, but before that, Kylie was on the cheer squad at Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, California.
She may have been a cast member of the most well-known reality TV shows in the history of reality TV, but Kylie also had moments where she was just a regular high schooler. Today, however, she’s still known as a reality star and a businesswoman. The member of one of the most famous families on TV is the fourth runner-up on the most followers on Instagram list, which turned her into a social media queen.
