I think one fine example of someone who didn't start early is Mutombo. He started playing basketball when he was 18. The guy didn't even play basketball for fun before that.

A child of a broken home, Hackman left home at 16 for a 3 year hitch with the Marines. Moving to New York after being discharged, Hackman worked in a number of menial jobs before studying journalism and Television production on the G.I. Bill at the University of Illinois. Hackman would be over 30 years old when he finally decided to take his chance at acting by enrolling at the Pasadena Playhouse in California. Legend says that Hackman and Dustin Hoffman were voted "least likely to succeed".
