Josh Duhamel
Did you know that before Josh Duhamel was an actor, he was a fashion model? And did you know that before winning Male Model of the Year in 1997, he played college football? It’s hard to imagine the pretty-boy-turned-actor sporting a helmet and playing a sport that could seriously leave him disfigured.
Josh played for Minot State University’s quarterback, but becoming a pro football player wasn’t his end goal. He tried to apply for dental school but was 1.5 credits shy. Without knowing what to do, he applied for random jobs before being discovered. Two years after beating Ashton Kutcher for the Model of the Year award, he started acting.
