16. Jesse Ventura

Jesse Ventura is not just another Minnesota-born celeb. He served a term as the 38th Governor of Minnesota. Not bad for a former wrestler and actor. And the weirdest thing is that being a governor, wrestler and actor is only a fraction of what he has done over the years.

For example, he was a member of the Underwater Demolition Team 12 during the Vietnam War. We don’t know what Underwater Demolition Team 12 is, but is sure sounds badass. He was also sort of a member of the Mongols bike gang. He then started wrestling and soon became a star.

It was only a time before he started acting and his “biggest” role was that in the 80s hit action movie Predator alongside future governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and governor hopeful Sonny Landham.
