Famous Celebrities You Had No Idea Were Adopted

Lance Armstrong

Before he was the controversial biker that we know today, Lance Armstrong was just another kid running around (or rather, biking around) the streets of Plano, Texas. Upon his birth in 1971, he was given the full proper name Edward Gunderson. He didn't get to revel in the name for long though. Once his mother Linda remarried, he was still a very young child. Terry Armstrong, his stepfather, legally adopted him and gave him the name he has today.
