Top 10 Celebrities Who Were Ex-Jocks and Cheerleaders 



7 Matthew Fox

Matthew Fox was born in Wyoming. Wyoming is a place where everything seems to be a good excuse for getting out there. Fox never intended to play professional football. Columbia football scouts noticed Fox at 6’2″, and in 1985 he was drafted to play wideout, while he was still attending Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts.

Fox joined the team after it had been struggling. He was against Dean Cain (the actor) and Princeton. The team lost only two games during Fox’s time on the team. Matthew Fox went on to New York Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in New York City for two years. He married Margherita Ronchi in 1992. They have two children together: a daughter called Kyle and a son named Byron.
