The Cheerleaders Who Became Famous – From Pom Poms To Oscars

Cynthia Bailey

Prior to the beginning of her New York City acting career, Cynthia Bailey was shaking her pom-poms for her Deshler High School football team. We are not surprised that she became a reality television star after seeing how much she enjoyed the limelight, even if on a much smaller scale. What an incredible transformation, too, from the gorgeous and fresh-faced teen to a dazzling and glamorous icon. Keep smiling wide, Cynthia!

Gabrielle Union

Here we have another Bring It On superstar who had much relevant experience for her role. Born in Pleasanton, California, Gabrielle Union was born into an incredibly athletic family, which was particularly dedicated to football. It then made sense that Union supported her family members on the field by cheering them on with fiery enthusiasm and spirit. As put by Gabrielle herself, those without an opinion on Cornhusker football may as well not have one at all!
