21 "Wait...That Was Them?!" Times Celebs Became Famous For Two Wildly Different Reasons
Recently on Reddit, user @TheLastSentenceIsGay asked, "Which person got attention for two completely unrelated things, making you think 'Wait, that was that guy!?'" The examples will simply blow your mind, so here are just 21 that stood out: Responses below have been edited for length, clarity, and accuracy. 1. "Paul Winchell, the voice of Tigger in Winnie-the-Pooh, was an early inventor of the artificial heart." 2. "Got recommended a video of the longest televised golf putt in history. Certainly, it couldn't have been THAT Michael Phelps. Phelps isn't a pro golfer. He was playing for fun in a celebrity amateur round. He didn't want to use a wedge, so he got out a putter and putted the ball from the fairway way off the green. Pros would never putt the ball from that far. The ball ends up going in the hole." 3. "I was looking at some poker tournament stats the other day and saw several tourneys with Vince Vaughn. Ah, it's probably not the same guy... No, actually, it is. Peter La Fleur [Vince's character in DodgeBall ] is one hell of a poker player." 4. "Yesterday, I found out Oscar-winning film composer Hans Zimmer is the keyboard/synth player for The Buggles in the famous music video for 'Video Killed the Radio Star.' Just such a wild piece of information I'd never heard 'til now." 5. " Steve Martin is also a Grammy Award-winning banjo player. Not in a 'celebrity buys a Grammy award' way. He's actually insanely good." — Lookslikeseen "Martin is good enough that he occasionally played with Earl Scruggs, one of the all-time great banjo players. Scruggs basically reinvented the instrument for country music and invented bluegrass with Bill Monroe and Lester Flatt." — imaginaryvoyage 6. "I heard of Tom Ford, the fashion designer, when I was getting into fragrances. Then I heard of Tom Ford, director of Nocturnal Animals. Then I found out they are one and the same." 7. "Ted Williams, the Hall of Fame baseball player from the 1940s, was one of the best fishermen in the world. He's in the Fishing Hall of Fame, which is a thing that exists." — allineedisthischair "He's also a decorated WW2 Marine Corps pilot. He paused his baseball career to go back to active duty in Korea as a combat pilot." — beebalm1 8. "Thurl Ravenscroft: the guy that sang, 'You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,' also did the voice of Tony the Tiger." 9. " Jim Rash: The dean from Community won an Oscar as the co-screenwriter for The Descendants. Both film stuff, but surprising seeing Craig Pelton getting an Academy Award." 10. "Ken Jeong: a licensed physician as well as the dude that jumped out of the trunk of a car naked and started immediately beating Zach Galifianakis with a golf club in The Hangover." 11. "Ringo Starr: I remember discovering as a child that the narrator from Britain's Thomas the Tank Engine used to be the drummer in a band called The Beatles." 12. "Was surprised to find that Mike White, whom I knew as the mousy Mr. Schneebly in School of Rock, is the creator and director of White Lotus." 13. " My Name Is Earl star Jason Lee was a professional skateboarder before he got into acting." 14. "Somehow, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the world's best bodybuilder, the Terminator, and the governor of California." 15. "Gerard Way: lead singer of My Chemical Romance and creator of The Umbrella Academy comic book series that inspired the Netflix show." 16. "Eartha Kitt, who sang 'Santa Baby,' voiced Yzma, the villain from the Disney film The Emperor's New Groove. 17. "Nick Bakay: The voice of Salem the cat from Sabrina the Teenage Witch was also the co-writer of Paul Blart: Mall Cop." 18. "Taylor Momsen: Cindy Lou Who from the live-action How the Grinch Stole Christmas movie with Jim Carrey is now the lead singer in the popular rock band The Pretty Reckless." 19. "Joe Keery: He's a Stranger Things actor. Then, I heard a song a hundred times last year called 'End of Beginning' by Djo. Recently found out Joe Keery is Djo." Dave Simpson / WireImage — NotorioG 20. "Drake: I knew his first big hit on the radio. Then, when I saw his music video, I thought, 'Hey, wait! That's Jimmy from Degrassi (the Canadian teen drama)!'" Mark Blinch / NBAE via Getty Images — Queuez_Brat 21. Finally, "Wilford Brimley: Millennials will know him from the Liberty Medical Supply's diabetes commercials, while previous generations probably remember him as the Quaker Oats guy."
