17. Christopher Walken
It’s enough to just look at Christopher Walken and know that he’s one of those people who’ve never had a normal life. When you look as old and wise as an oak does, sound like a troll with throat cancer and fit so well in a movie dealing with psychopaths, you just get this feeling something’s up. So what other job could a person like Christopher have during his teenager years than being a lion tamer in a circus?
He was actually more of an assistant but that really doesn’t make the story any less impressive. It only changes the fact that, instead of taming multiple lions at once, Christopher got one lion to work with, Sheba, who he claims was more like a dog than a huge cat which could rip you into shreds in a blink of an eye. Sheba and Christopher were something like best friends – and that just makes the story even more awesome.
