15. Arnold Schwarzenegger
A worldwide superstar, Arnold Schwarzenegger started from tame beginnings in a small village in Austria. Mr. Universe would propel him to stardom in his early 20’s, and these days he is often associated with turning bodybuilding into an accessible sport. His shift to acting is perhaps one of the most interesting ones, as it is highly unusual.

Hollywood mopped up his good looks and charm, and by the 1970’s he was bagging major roles in ‘Hercules’, ‘Conan the Barbarian’ and ‘The Terminator’, which saw him reprise his role five times. Who can forget his stint as governor of California, proving that it really is possible to achieve anything you set your sights on.
16. John Cena
Love him or hate him, John Cena is widely known as one of the most iconic, albeit slightly polarizing wrestlers in the history of WWE. His supporters and naysayers are often at loggerheads with each other, in particular when he is wrestling, but it’s worth recognizing him as an icon regardless of your views, in part due to being a sixteen-time world champion.

With his public profile growing and gaining more favor with a mainstream audience, Cena decided he would try his hand at acting in 2006’s ‘The Marine’, which ultimately led him to other roles like in ‘Blockers’, ‘Trainwreck’ and the next installment in the ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise. More recently, he gained notoriety in Africa, with the release of South African Sho Madjozi’s viral hit, “John Cena”.
