Steve McQueen

Nicknamed ‘The King of Cool,’ Steve McQueen was a legendary actor who rose to become the highest-paid actor in the world during his peak. Famous for his rebellious nature, McQueen joined the Marine Corps in 1947, but he had some issues in the force that saw his rank demoted several times.

Despite his combative nature and a trouble-filled stint in the military, Steve is credited with saving some marines from a disaster by pulling them out of a tank before hell broke loose. We bet that incident will remain to be a shining star in what was otherwise a blotched military career.
