27. Emma Watson
The Harry Potter starlet is a jack of all trades, and who would have thought that being an actress wasn’t her #1 choice. Apparently, Emma is also a star field hockey player, with a general knack for sports. While studying at Brown University, she joined the local team and played a series of matches, with a decent win-loss ratio.

Her passion seemed to be even more spellbinding than others could have imagined, with Watson continuing to pursue her passion after university. In recent years she’s started a hockey charity which aims to get more girls involved in sports. This gives her the chance to keep playing, as well as to try her hand in the managerial side of the business. Good on you, Emma!
28. Uzo Aduba
“Crazy Eyes” from ‘Orange is the New Black’ was anything but that in real life, especially as a serious star athlete in college. Her skills on the racetrack were so strong that she was offered a full scholarship to Boston University long before we saw her on Netflix for the first time.

Not only is Aduba a great sprinter, known for competing in 55 to 200-meter races, but more recently she has been pictured completing the Boston Marathon. Lauded for her strong leadership skills, she left her professional running shoes behind after college, although it remains clear that its still an important part of her life today.
