Sammy Sosa
Famed baseball player Sammy Sosa turned heads in 2009 when he showed up at a red carpet event looking significantly lighter, while wearing contacts and seemingly straighter hair. The athlete later admitted to bleaching. “It’s a bleaching cream that I apply before going to bed and it whitens my skin some,” said Sosa. “It’s a cream that I have, that I use to soften [my skin], but has bleached me some. I’m not a racist, I live my life happily.”
