The jaw-dropping model aside, the magazine cover is my favorite part. Whenever I see someone get appreciation outside of their known position of recognition - it gives my renaissance muscle a little tingle. I wonder if this is more common or less common than we think.

"...like Rod Stewart on the cover of Railway Modeler!"

Can anyone think of other examples of this?



I enjoy these too. A few off the top of my head:

James Hetfield of Metallica is a well-known beekeeper

Tony Bennett is an avid painter

Bryan Adams is an excellent photographer

Paul Newman is in the Sports Car Club of America Hall of Fame and had an extensive auto racing career

Geena Davis nearly made it to the Olympic archery team

Steve Martin is an excellent banjo player and has won a couple Grammys for it


Some off the top of my head:

Bruce Dickinson is a commercial 757 (later 747) pilot (also fenced internationally for England.)

Maynard James Keenan and Sam Neill are both (I believe) renowned winemakers.

Terry Crews is also an avid painter.


Brian May receiving his PhD in astrophysics gives me a similar feeling.


Jeff Bridges is an excellent photographer.
