Jack White

His birth name is John Anthony Gills, but he was always known as Jack and he took Meg White's last name when he married her in 1996. Meg became his bandmate a year later when they formed The White Stripes. That group lasted until 2011 even though Jack and Meg divorced in 2000.

He had a brief uncredited appearance at the age of 12 in the 1987 movie The Rosary Murders, which was filmed at his home parish Holy Redeemer in southern Detroit.

Jack White almost became a priest. After being accepted into a seminary in Wisconsin, White realized he probably wouldn't have been able to bring along his new amplifier with him. He decided to go to public school instead, where he took on a three-year upholstery apprenticeship.
