Churchill’s mother Lady Randolph (Jennie Jerome) was an American born in Brooklyn, which of course made Winston half American.
</span>While serving a dual role as a war correspondent and military officer in South Africa, Churchill <span>was taken captive by the Boers. He was able to scale a wall and sneak out one night. After hiding in a mineshaft and sneaking aboard a train, he was able to rejoin the fight after a week.

He was also accident prone and still managed to make it to 90 years old!
As a child, Churchill suffered from concussions and ruptured kidney while playing on a bridge. Once, he nearly drown in a Swiss lake (yikes!). He fell from multiple horses (done that).

Was hit by a car while crossing 5th Avenue in New York (again, painful!)
