Christopher Walken

We all know the multifaceted actor is talented—he sings, he dances, etc.—but did you know he worked as a lion tamer in the circus when he was a teenager? "It was a female named Sheba," he recalled to Vanity Fair, "and she was very sweet. Like a dog, really."

The Irish actor used to be a line dancer—but not the River Dance kind. He was actually a member of a line-dancing group that wore all denim and cowboy hats, country-western style.
