There are plenty of actors and actresses with athletic abilities and chiseled bodies who look like they should really be out on a field or court rather than acting like they are.
It doesn’t take an active imagination to guess that the likes of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Terry Crews and Carl Weathers actually spent some time competing in various sports, but some of these names may surprise you.
Here are the Hollywood hot shots who also stood in the sports spotlight.
2Chuck Norris
The quickest way to a man’s heart is with Chuck Norris’s first. Watching anything involving the high-kicking martial artist – the star of the Walker, Texas Ranger series amongst a list of action movies – without dropping a Chuck Norris “facts” is borderline unacceptable. These jokes aren’t simply rooted in his various acting roles, however.
American martial artist Chuck Norris.
Norris isn’t just some martial arts practitioner, he is a full-on guru. Earning a black belt in any discipline is a remarkable accomplishment. Norris has a collection: 9th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, 8th degree black belt in taekwondo, 5th degree black belt in karate, 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and black belt in judo.
Oh yeah, he also invented the martial art Chun Kuk Do.
