The Cheerleaders Who Became Famous – From Pom Poms To Oscars

Jesse James Decker

Here we have a stunning and multi-talented country music legend who was a leading cheerleader back in the day. When she was just fifteen, Jesse James Decker was already a rising star in the American music industry as she wrote and performed her own music during the week. Saturdays and Sundays were for cheerleading, however, as she drove the crowds into frenzies while her home team did their thing on the field.

Mandy Moore

She might have reinforced the other cheerleading stereotype that cheerleaders are major bullies with her part as the horrid cheerleading queen in 2001 The Princess Diaries, but Mandy Moore was certainly prepared for the role. She was a professional cheerleader for the Pop Warner Football Team in the 90s. We just hope that Moore was a far nicer representative of the sport before starring as the mean-spirited Lana Thomas alongside Anne Hathaway.
