Justin Timberlake
Ten-time GRAMMY winner Justin Timberlake is known for his dance moves, but he's also an avid golfer. He started playing when he was 12 and now has a rumored six handicap. (The lower, the better). Timberlake is also a partial owner of the Memphis Grizzlies (NBA – National Basketball Association) and has a stake in the Music City Grand Prix ownership group. LIKE I LOVE YOU
SZA
SZA (pronounced Sizza/SIZ-uh) is the hottest artist in music right now with her chart-topping album, "SOS." Before she dove into music full-time, she was quite a gymnast. She was ranked number five in the nation at one point. SZA, who won a GRAMMY for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her hit with Doja Cat - "Kiss Me More," said she still finds time to head to the gym for a "tumble and bounce around" and is into rock climbing and swimming. WOMAN OF MANY TALENTS
Justin Bieber
We all know Justin Bieber is Canadian, and just because he's Canadian doesn't mean he's great at hockey, except when he is. In 2012, the two-time GRAMMY winner was offered an ECHL (East Coast Hockey League) contract with Bakersfield for his excellent puck-handling skills. You might remember back in early 2020 when All-Star NHL (National Hockey League) goalie Jordan Binnington challenged Bieber to a shootout after seeing a video on the pop star's Instagram. Bieber has also been known to pick up a game or two with a few of his NHL friends. NEVER SAY NEVER
Prince
Prince's basketball talents gained a life of their own in an occasional '“Chappelle's Show” sketch. Prince played basketball in high school and into his adult life for fun. Comedian Charlie Murphy, Eddie's brother, recounted a time when Prince completely dominated him on the court and, afterward, the seven-time GRAMMY winner served pancakes. CARB LOADING
Rod Stewart
Soccer (or football as Rod Stewart would call it) was always a dream of Stewart's, long before music. He was the captain of his high school team and, with his father's encouragement, tried out for his local professional club, Brentford FC. Stewart reportedly did well during the session but was not signed to a contract. He then set his eyes on music, which, it turns out, he was pretty good at, landing one GRAMMY win and 15 nominations.
