The first that comes to mind is Lance Armstrong. Many musicians also look like they're trying very hard when they are really into their music.

Unfortunately it wasn't until I was about 21, had dropped out of college, started running with a rough crowd and hadn't talked to my family for about a year-and-a-half. (All it took was meeting the right girl.) Yeah, I did something like that, too.

And I then very quickly realized there are many skills and talents that I profoundly lack... but failing at first and subsequently working to improve has added so much more fun and value to my life than I ever expected. Now, I'm in college, and in some ways it is like starting all over again. I love it.
