The Cheerleaders Who Became Famous – From Pom Poms To Oscars

Nene Leakes

Here we have another reality television star who has dominated unscripted television and was previously a champion cheerleader. The Atlanta Real Housewives star was a sweet young girl once, but she was no less spunky, as she proved herself as a confident force to be reckoned with on the field. This was a difficult time for Nene, as she was born in Queens to four other siblings. When her mother could no look longer after all of them, Nene and a single brother were taken in by an aunt in Athens, Georgia.

Jennifer Lawrence

The hilarious and stunning Jennifer Lawrence is a beloved member of the Hollywood elite. While she is incredibly beautiful and graceful, she is also fiercely athletic, which is obvious given her action-heavy roles in films like X-Men and The Hunger Games. She developed her love for all things sporty when she was young, where she was a cheerleader and a member of the basketball, softball, and field hockey teams. What a team player!
