3. Woody Harrelson – Father Was A Contract Killer
In 1979, when Woody Harrelson was 18, he learned a secret about his father. It was after his father was convicted of murdering judge John H. Wood that Harrelson learned his pops was a contract killer for the Texas drug lord, Jamiel Chagra. When Chagra was on trial for drug trafficking, he had Harrelson’s father murder the judge who was overseeing the case. Harrelson’s father was known to have killed several men during his career as a hitman, and he even claimed that he killed John F. Kennedy, but he later retracted that claim. Harrelson would visit his father during his life sentence, but saw him more as a friend than a father. Harrelson’s father and two other men attempted to escape in 1995, but they were unsuccessful. In 2007, Harrelson’s father was found dead of a heart attack in his cell.
