Nick Cannon

20. Nick Cannon

Nicholas Scott Cannon is a very charming fellow who also happens to be a rapper, comedian, actor, television and radio host, producer, and DJ. He began his long and fruitful career as a teenager on All That before he was given the opportunity to host The Nick Cannon Show, Wild ‘N Out, and America’s Got Talent. As an actor, he landed roles in movies such as Love Don’t Cost a Thing, Roll Bounce, and Drumline, and he even has a self-titled rap album, which he released in 2003.

Although he looks like the healthiest man alive on the outside, mostly because of his overwhelmingly positive behavior at all times, Nick was actually hospitalized for quite some time after doctors discovered that he had kidney failure and blood clots in his lungs. Of the two things, he admits that the latter scared him the most since he knew people who died from blood clots. His problems stem from a Lupus-type of autoimmune disease. Yikes!
