She’s so famous for reality TV, fraternizing with Kardashians, and reckless driving that it’s easy to forget why Caitlyn Jenner was ever famous in the first place. (She won the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Summer Olympics.) Here are some other actors and entertainers who were also world-class athletes.
1. Dr. Benjamin Spock.
In 1946, he revolutionized the way people cared for their babies (by telling parents to show their babies love and attention) with his book Baby and Child Care. In 1924, Spock, while a student at Yale, rowed for the U.S. men’s crew team. He won a gold medal in Paris that summer.
2. Geena Davis.
At least she has that Oscar-winning career to fall back on.
Davis seems like one of those people who is successful at everything she tries. Case in point: She took up archery as a hobby in 1997 at age 41. By 1999, she was shooting arrows competitively, and was invited to try out for the U.S. Olympic archery team. Out of 300 archers, she was one of 28 women to reach the semifinals round. There, she placed 24th—not high enough to make the team, but astoundingly high for someone who had only been doing it for two years.
3. Jason Statham.
