In high school, Sheryl Crow was an all-state track athlete with medals in the 75-meter hurdles. At the University of Missouri, she dove into music with a degree in music composition and performance and played in a local band. Crow’s still an athlete. As a sports lover, her favorite is tennis. In the music industry, she’s a world champion winning nine Grammy Awards, 32 nominations, and selling 50 million albums worldwide.
She’s performed with everyone from the Dixie Chicks to Sting, from Luciano Pavarotti to B.B. King. In the 1990s, she dated Eric Clapton and was nearly married to cycling pro Lance Armstrong in 2005. Crow’s radio hits, “All I Wanna Do” and “If It Makes You Happy,” dominated the airwaves. She also composed the theme song for the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies.
Hugh Jackman
You can't exactly be known for playing Wolverine and not have some sort of athletic background. I mean, he is kind of an animal. Before Hugh Jackman was shredding things up, the now 50-year-old spent his youth on the rugby and soccer field.
As an avid rugby player, Jackman admitted that a lot of Wolverine's behavior came directly from all the rage he used to feel when playing rugby. He said, "I'd be somewhere in a ruck in rugby, get punched in the face, and I'd just go into a white rage."It definitely worked.
Steve Austin
Making a name for himself as one of the top wrestlers in the WWE, Austin's super tough guy, no-nonsense attitude helped him launch a successful career on film and TV. But before he brought the wrestling world his signature movie, The Stone Cold Stunner, he was actually considering a career in football. Attending the University of North Texas on a football scholarship, the wrestler played for the Mean Green.
After his long run on TV, wrestling, Autin felt up to the challenge and starred alongside The Rock, as well as in films The Expendables and The Longest Yard. From 2014 - 2017, he hosted his own show, Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge, a supercharged reality game show in which competing athletes run through a "skull breaking" obstacle course.
Justin Timberlake
Another stud who kills it on the golf course. Justin Timberlake has been golfing since he was 12 years old and hasn't stopped since. Admitting that there aren't many places in the world he can go without being watched and the golf course for Justin is pretty much the only spot on which he can find some peace.
The singer and actor are actually really serious about it and, in August 2019, was awarded the OMEGA Celebrity Masters trophy for achieving the best individual score on the day. You can see him appearing in Golfers Digest, just as much as a Hollywood reporter.
Jim Gaffigan
Comedian Jim Gaffigan jokes about being fat, lazy, and an incompetent dad. (He does kind of have that former-football-player physique.) Gaffigan also digs up some hysterical observations about his five kids and his wife. After a dare from a friend, he became a stand-up. As one of the only comedians to sell out Madison Square Garden, he scored big. On TV, he appeared on That ‘70s Show, Ed and Sex and the City. Plus, he was a cast member on The Ellen Show.
Now he has his own: The Jim Gaffigan Show. There was nothing funny about his Georgetown presence. As an offensive guard and tackle for the Hoyas football team, he clobbered plenty of opponents. He also walked onto the Big Ten Purdue team and played a year on the Boilermakers.
