Henry Fonda (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000020/bio) famous Hollywood actor was an avid aeromodeller. in fact he had them shown and flown by him in some of his movies like Fail Safe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail-Safe_(1964_film)) and Flying Blind (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capelis_XC-12). The model aeroplane The Capelis XC-12 was used in many movies, like the one mentioned above, Wings Over pacific, Adventures of Flying Cadets etc. Actors like Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart wrote articles (http://www.centralhobbies.com/miscellaneous/rc_planes.html) on aero models and had been motivation to many first gen aeromodellers (Who's sons and grandsons have since then are doing great service to this hobby)

Ajith (a south-indian actor) told in an interview that his favourite hobby is aeromodelling. He also showed his picture with some large fuel plane. Here's the pic:
