25 Famous People You Didn't Know Were From Wisconsin

Who knew all these celebrities used to call the dairy state home?

One of my favorite things to do with celebrities is look up their back story. Sure all of their Hollywood accomplishments are impressive, but it's always fun to look where these celebrities came from.

From actors, to athletes, to politicians, Wisconsin is home for A LOT of famous people. But I'm willing to bet you didn't know a lot of these people were from Wisconsin. I actually only knew a few on this list.

This raises another question for me though. Because all of these celebrities are from Wisconsin, does that mean this is also just a list of Green Bay Packers fans? Obviously the athletes have changed who they're rooting/playing for. But I feel like a lot of these other celebs who are Wisconsin natives are cheese heads!

Being a Bears fan myself, it doesn't make me too happy. But I do have fun in my head picturing all of these famous people wearing Green Bay Packers jerseys and giant cheese heads.

So, let's get into the list.

Check out this list of celebrities from the dairy state.

I also wonder if all of these celebrities still have a little Midwest in them? Sure they're Hollywood actors now, but I don't care how famous you get, do you ever stop craving cheese curds? And beer? You can take the person out of Wisconsin, but you can't take the Wisconsin out of the person.

Imagine running into one of these celebs at Culver's ... anyways, I'll jump out of this rabbit hole before I'm in too deep.
