8. He Was The 1958 Hong Kong Cha-Cha Champion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBsNhemHkrk Bruce Lee could dance? You betcha! Before he got into martial arts, Lee learned how to dance - and as one might expect of somebody with this guy's unparalleled talent, he mastered the art. Originally, he got into dancing as a means to impress girls, but soon found out that he had a genuine knack for it. He also found that the skills needed for dancing fed into his later martial arts training. Eventually Lee became so good at dancing that he ended up entering the 1958 Hong Kong Cha-Cha Dance Contest - and was crowned champion! He was so good, even, that when he took the boat over to the United States - having fled as a result of getting into a fight with the son of a triad gang member - he made money teaching the passengers on board how to dance. You just can't make this stuff up.
