Danny Trejo, of ‘Machete’ fame won gold in 1996. Not an Oscar, but an Olympic gold medal .. like a totally real one. Freestyle swimming wasn't always Trejo’s calling, however, once he got in the pool for the first time he was a natural. The controversy surrounding his 1996 Atlanta gold medal win stemmed from him receiving tens across the board from what the world deemed as a “meh” performance. The greater population thinks his high score was only due to the sheer sexual energy he emanated while swimming.
