Celebrities (and quasi celebrities) that unicycle, juggle, etc

Why not invite Philip Petit to NAUCC? He’s never been to one, and he lives closer. John Childs has at least attended the two that were up in his area; 1999 and 2002, plus Unicon 11.

Philip Petit’s claim to fame is his high wire walk between the two towers of the World Trade Center, before it was completed, in the mid-70s. No one else will ever be able to duplicate that feat there… :frowning:

2014 U.S. National figure skating champion and Olympic medalist Gracie Gold is a juggler.

Mark Ruffalo and James McAvoy together riding unicycles on the Graham Norton show!

I love it when superheroes and X-Men ride unicycles. :slight_smile: BTW, I saw this on the UFO (Unicyclists of Findlay, Ohio) Facebook page. Nice catch!

Just noticed that Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the Olympic phenom in the 400M hurdles, was noted in articles as: “She burst on the scene as a teenager, the runner with the unique ability to juggle while riding a unicycle.” - from: Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone breaks her own world record, wins Olympic gold again in 400-meter hurdles | FOX Sports

And there’s a video of her making a basketball shot while riding away from the basket: Sydney McLaughlin Hits A Backwards Shot On A Unicycle

She’s not unique in juggling while unicycling, but there’s no doubt she’s unique in her combination of talents.

Right after this topic went dormant in 2021, someone started a nearly identical topic called “Famous people who can ride unicycles”. These topics could probably be merged nicely. I linked the topic below:

TIL that the Roadrunner is actually the Roadunicycler.
