Josh Duhamel

Between landing a role on All My Children and playing college football, Josh Duhamel had a brief but impressive modeling career. His initial plan was to become a dentist, but he ended up leaving college with only one-and-a-half credits left to complete. Instead of finishing his education, he “followed a former girlfriend to northern California.”

Once he arrived in California, he started his career as a model, even winning an international modeling and talent competition. Coincidentally, the runner-up of that modeling and talent contest was fellow actor Ashton Kutcher. Anyway, Duhamel’s first acting roles mainly were in music videos: Christina Aguilera’s Genie in a Bottle and Donna Summer’s hit song I Will Go With You. After he studied acting, he was offered the role of Leo du Pres on All My Children, where he garnered a Daytime Emmy Award in 2002.
