Celebrities That Served In the Military Before Making It Big

Steve McQueen

Once nicknamed, "The King of Cool" Steve McQueen was also pretty slick when he served in the United States Marine Corps. Though his relaxed attitude worked in acting auditions, it didn't go over so well in the service. Steve was demoted over 6 times due to his disregard for rules and authority figures. He was once even arrested for taking an unapproved vacation, though he was redeemed by saving 5 drowning soldiers.
