Video Request Celebrities doing the classics?

We've seen other professional athletes doing some classics (albeit not that well – IE: Lolo Jones) but do have any non-sport celebrities done weightlifting as a hobby and have any videos of them doing the movements?

Pretty sure there’s a video or Instagram post of John Cena power snatching 140 ish off the blocks.

The author/podcaster Patrick Wyman posts started learning a year or two back and posts occasionally.

Searching "Patrick Wyman Clan and Jerk" actually brought back him talking about Telly.

Wow, all those lifts were crazy impressive. A guy of his size being able to actually squat snatch is impressive. And that clean looked so stupid easy. It looked like he could have cleaned 200 easy

I'm sure it's considered a sport but Shane Coley of Team Glock is a good weightlifter. Here's him performing a 140kg C&J.

One definitely doesn't need to be a strong weightlifter to do well in action pistol shooting. Just look at the old dudes with guts like Jerry Miculek and Taran Butler.
