10. Not Just a Fan
Adam Levine is frequently court side because his love of basketball goes way deep. At six, he made the winning shot of his local YMCA championship basketball and has been inspired to succeed ever since. "And if that shot had bounced off the rim all those years ago? Who knows," he tells MSN, "Maybe today I'd be a serial killer or something."

8. Loves to See You Cry
How did he know he hit it big? Adam Levine recalled a Maroon 5 gig at the Troubadour in Los Angeles when singing crowd drowned out his vocals. "We even had some criers," he told MTV. "That's what we want. I want our shows to have masses of sexuality and crying."

6. The Zen Master
A notorious minimalist, Levine is dubbed "Zen Master" by his Maroon 5 band mates. "I don't own anything," he told VH1. "I'm into clothes, and that's basically it." We bet he has some ample and organized closets...

5. Auto Lover
Adam Levine is a full-fledged, self-proclaimed "car junkie." That's why travels in style in a 1971 Mercedes 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet. He's not flashy. He's a connoisseur.

2. More Shy Than You Think
Adam Levine's got an issue with his smooth Casanova image. "The sad truth is that person in the tabloids is way cooler than I actually am," he's been quoted to complain. "If you believed all the things written about me, you'd think I was a pimp."

1. Cancer Warrior
Well, perhaps not that shy. To raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancer, Adam Levine posed nude for UK Cosmo, or rather, posed wearing only a model's strategically positioned hand. Not to mention indulging in some sexy PDA in the middle of a crowded street for a music video.
