These Celebrities Were All Cheerleaders Before Making It Big

Jesse James Decker

Singer or cheerleader...well, why not both? The country singer and songwriter was writing hits and interviewing with Nashville labels at fifteen, but she was also screaming for the home team on the weekends. Now she's got a ton of hit songs and has even branched into the fashion industry. Maybe she'll redesign some uniforms.

Mandy Moore

Before she played the pom wielding Lana Thomas in 2001's The Princess Diaries, Mandy Moore was wearing her own cheer uniform. However, her experience was a bit unusual, as she cheered for the Pop Warner football team. After this encounter with the cheer world, she went on to star in A Walk to Remember, and later on, This is Us.
