Elvis The Soldier
It’s not altogether uncommon to find a celebrity who enlisted in the army before they rose to fame. For Elvis Presley, this happened after he had gained worldwide recognition, as in 1958 he was called to service for the US army. Already well known then, people couldn’t believe that they were serving beside someone who was widely considered a national gem. He was discharged early when his mother had a heart attack, and he wished to be by her side.

MGM’s Lion
If you’ve ever watched an MGM movie, you would have seen the lion roaring before the opening credits of the film. Few people know about the history of that revered piece of footage. This picture was there during filming in 1928, where Leo the Lion stole the show. We can imagine it was a bit of a scary scene having to deal with a real lion (CGI was not a thing back then), but luckily everyone survived the shoot without losing any limbs.
