Rachel McAdams: The Untold Truth

Rachel McAdams rose to fame in Mean Girls and The Notebook. But this actress never planned on making it big in Hollywood. This is the untold truth of Rachel McAdams. Before she had any aspirations to act, Rachel McAdams was interested in ice skating, so much so that her coach encouraged her to go pro. She told Glamour, "I definitely was in the sequined, bedazzled era. We would put blue eyeshadow up our eyebrows, and glitter all over our faces. I probably put more effort into my skating outfits than my clothes." McAdams picked up a pair of skates when she was only 4 years old and competed against other Canadians until she turned 18. However, even though she won competition after competition, she didn't feel as confident on skates as she did on her school's stage. In 2012, McAdams told The Scotsman, "I think I wanted some kind of outlet to express myself but I didn’t know what that was. I found I was quite nervous in sports in a way that held me back, whereas I discovered that in acting the nerves propelled me forward. They got me on to the stage unlike figure skating where my knees would knock together and I thought I was going to be sick." Obviously, the sequins simply weren't cutting it.
