2. Christopher Walken - Lion Tamer
This is the part where you're supposed to say, "Well, yes, of course he was." Somehow learning that Christopher Walken was a lion tamer at the age of fifteen really isn't surprising. Not because he was a young entertainer and naturally joined the circus, no, because he's just Christopher Walken. Odd and awesome eccentricity are just things we've come to expect from him. It just makes perfect sense. When asked about this part of his past Walken casually shrugs it off in a nonchalant no-big-deal sort of way, claiming that the older lion he was cracking the whip in front of was more like every neighborhood's friendly Saint Bernard. "Just a big old dog," he has said. In fact, according to Walken in one interview what's really more dangerous than lions are penguins. Apparently they did all kinds of damage on the set of Batman.
