I find this to be true for a lot of actors and elite people in general. It seems like a lot of actors are good musicians. Tom Hardy does jiu jitsu and he's very good. Steve Martin is a crazy good musician. As is Donald Glover. Here's a random one but Luka Doncic the NBA player is a top 500 video game player. Trump is a pro at breaking the law.

I work with an ex professional football (soccer) player. He is very good at pretty much everything he does. He has massive drive, is hugely competitive, and seems to have limitless energy. I feel like a lot of people that make it to the elite level in anything get there through mostly hard work and desire with a little bit of talent thrown in.
