Bill Clinton: Not just a politician, Clinton was a talented saxophone player who jammed with musical legends like Wynton Marsalis and B.B. King during his presidency.

George W. Bush: More than just a Texan cowboy, Bush is a skilled painter. His portraits of world leaders have been auctioned for charity, proving his artistic side.

Harry S. Truman: This down-to-earth president loved playing poker and even had "The Buck Stops Here" sign on his desk, highlighting his decisive nature.

Ronald Reagan: Beyond his acting career, Reagan enjoyed horseback riding, chopping wood, and even reading cowboy novels, staying true to his Western roots.
