Sheamus' life before becoming a pro wrestler was full of achievements as well. During his school days, Sheamus sang in the Palestrina Choir and appeared on a few TV Shows. He was also a successful Gaelic football and rugby player growing up.

The Celtic Warrior holds a National Diploma. Before becoming a WWE Superstar, he worked as an IT technician and a nightclub bouncer. However, he decided to chase his dream of learning the ropes and competing inside the squared circle in 2002:

"I just finished college with a Diploma that I had no interest in using. Once I had completed my studies and had something to fall back on I took a chance and I went for it and followed my passion... wrestling. I had no ties, no responsibilities and nothing to lose. It was now or never for me, and it still is," Sheamus told Fighting Spirit Magazine.
