There are a lot of famous people out there who have a reputation for
being tough, but the following list is reserved for only those who are
not only tough, they are lethal.
They
don’t need a gun or a knife or a sword or whatever OJ had in the trunk
of his car on a certain fateful night because they themselves are a
lethal weapon. You might be surprised by some of the names on this list
but that’s only because they don’t need to advertise the fact that they
are bad asses. They are like radiation or a silent fart –- deadly, and
you’ll never see them coming. So, if you ever see any of these nine
famous people in a dark alley, run, because if they get their hands on
you, it’s all over. Unfortunately, Jet li is not one of them... not on this list anyway.

9 ICE T |
|
There are a lot of fake tough guys in the rap world, but Ice T isn’t one
of them. Sure, a lot of people have been fooled by his stint on
Law & Order into
believing that he has settled down but that doesn’t mean the dude has
gone soft. Hell no. A longtime practitioner of Brazilian jiu-jitsu,
Ice T was also a former Army Ranger. I’m guessing LL Cool J and Soulja
Boy didn’t know that when they decided to beef with him, but it’s good
for them that those beefs never got as heated as the Tupac/Biggie feud
otherwise we all would have probably been treated to the sight of Ice T
choking out Soulja Boy at the Source Awards. You don’t wanna mess with a
former Army Ranger, even one that spent a decade hanging around with
Richard Belzer.

8 Guy Ritchie
|
Look, you have to be tough to be able to survive being married to
Madonna and those freakish arms of hers. The poor dude probably had to
extensively train in both judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu just to avoid
being choked out in bed. I’m guessing that whenever he hears “Material
Girl,” the dude just starts armbarring random victims until he hears
bones cracking. But now that he’s escaped from her damn near literal
talons he’s out in the world with all sorts of hand-to-hand combat
training. A black belt in judo and a brown belt in BJJ, Ritchie doesn’t
need to take any shit from the actors on his sets. You can tell him
that you think
Swept Away sucked, but you do so at your own peril.

7 Jason Statham
|
It would make sense that a good friend of Guy Ritchie would be able to
handle himself and Jason Statham can do much more than that. Those
fancy moves and choreographed stunts in his movies aren’t just a
stuntman going through the motions. No, Statham is an expert kickboxer
who could probably break every bone in your face before you even got a
limp-wristed drunken punch off. He’d probably also then sleep with your
girlfriend, thus destroying both your body and your soul. He might not
have won an Oscar for
Crank, but I’m guessing that’s because
the cowards in the Academy were too afraid to even be in the same room
with him. You could call me a liar, but that would just make you look
like an idiot and you’re not an idiot, are you?

6 Jesse Ventura
|
Don’t be fooled by the fact that wrestling is fake (sorry if I shattered
anyone’s innocence there) or that he spent a few years stuffed behind a
desk as the Governor of Minnesota, because Jesse Ventura is a former
Navy Seal who probably knows about a 100 different ways to break your
neck and make it look like you died of natural causes. In
Predator,
Jesse Ventura memorably played a tough guy soldier who fell victim to
the Predator, but in real life, the Predator would have beaten Arnold
Schwarzenegger to death within five minutes and then ran like hell from
Ventura. Sure, that would have drastically changed the tone of the
movie, but I wouldn’t mind. After all, it’s comforting to me to know
that there is a man like Jesse Ventura out there capable of keeping us
safe from alien hunters.
Yeah, yeah, no big surprise here. As much as I hate to drag this old
Internet meme out of mothballs, you simply can’t deny that Chuck Norris
could do terrible, terrible things to you if he felt like it. A black
belt in Karate and the Korean martial art Tang Soo Do, Norris is also
apparently the only Westerner in the 4,500 year history of Tae Kwon Do
to achieve an eighth degree black belt, which also brings with it the
title of Grand Master. If you want to scoff at all that, fine, but just
know that instead of kicking your face off, Norris will just throw you
to the ground using the judo that he’s studied and will then break all
of your bones using his knowledge of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Of course,
the man is over 70 years-old, but let’s face it, he could be 151 years
old and still be capable of sending you to meet your maker. That’s not a
meme. That’s just the way it is.

4 Angela Merkel
|
What the hell? Yes, it’s true. Angela Merkel, the German chancellor,
is a black belt in judo. Look at her picture and let that sink in for a
minute. Okay, done? Good, now take a minute and contemplate that
Angela Merkel could kill you with her bare hands while you just squirmed
helplessly in her grasp and wondered how your death would be explained
to your friends. If there’s one thing that history has taught us it’s
that when it comes to killing people the Germans don’t mess around.
There was the savage Thirty Years War in the 17th century, there was the
vicious killing of David Hasselhoff’s soul and there was, uh, some
other stuff back in the ‘30s and ‘40s that kinda drew some attention.
So it makes sense that their leader in these strange and terrible times
would be a capable killing machine, a Terminator ready to throw down on
anybody who made the fatal mistake of messing with her or her people.

3 Ed O’Neill
|
Yes, that’s right, Al Bundy could kill you with his bare hands. Before
you laugh, just remember that in addition to scoring four touchdowns in a
single game for Polk High, O’Neill is also a black belt in Brazilian
jiu-jitsu, having studied for years under the famed Gracie family. He
may look like an ordinary shoe salesman with a beaten soul, but beneath
that humble exterior lies a true warrior, capable of wrapping himself
like an anaconda around the body of anyone stupid enough to mess with
him, squeezing and twisting until all that’s left is just a pile of
broken bones and regret. It’s a messed up world, but it’s comforting to
know that it is still a world in which a man like Ed O’Neill can be
considered a true lethal weapon. Seriously, finding this out made my
day.

2 Vladimir Putin
|
Uh, I’m kind of afraid to say anything here for fear that I will wake up
hanging from a meat hook in some refrigerator in Siberia. And that’s
because not only is Vladimir Putin an avid judo enthusiast, he’s also a
total badass who looks like he could be a Bond villain. While everyone
is always worried about Russian arms and chemical weapons and all that,
what they need to understand is that if Vladimir Putin has a problem
with you, he’ll just show up at your doorstep stripped to the waist with
only a grim mask of stone and determination on his face and with only
his bare hands to teach you a lesson in foreign relations. He is the
Anton Chigurh of international politics, but he doesn’t need some lousy
air gun to send you to hell. He just needs to use the power of judo and
his own frozen soul.
DRUM ROLL PLEASE

1 Snooki
|
Before you laugh, just remember that’s exactly what she wants you to do.
That way, you’re caught unaware when one of the gremlins that lives
inside of her crawls out of her vagina and eats you whole. And even if
you somehow managed to survive an encounter with Snooki with your body
still intact, your soul will have withered and died like a flower in a
nuclear blast. She might not be a trained lethal weapon like so many
others on this list, but she doesn’t need to be. She is mentioned in
the Book of Revelations. Even the four horsemen of the apocalypse in
that book are terrified of her. She is who Oppenheimer was quoting when
he famously said “I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” Snooki
doesn’t need a lethal weapon or a martial art because Snooki is a lethal
weapon. So tangle with her at your own peril and just remember that if
you survive, you will have seen into the great void that all men fear
and you will never be the same again.
