Joe Rogan from Fear Factor/UFC/Carlos Mencia-hater fame was a TKD champion when he was a teenager.
Now he's very proficient at BJJ.

The first that comes to mind is:
Master Byong Yu
Grand Master Byong Yu has won six World Championship belts from World competitions and twenty-eight Gold Medals along with thirty-six highest commendations with three presidential citations. Grandmaster Yu has been nominated to the Martial Arts Hall of Fame and has also received the Golden Masters Instructors Award.
Born in 1935, Master Byong Yu was raised in Korea and later moved to the United States in 1964. Overcoming physical disabilities, language barriers, racial prejudice, and homelessness, Master Yu (nicknamed “Lightning Bolt”) took the martial arts circuit by storm and eventually attained the highest rank of black belt (9th degree) from the World Tae Kwon Do Federation. He was inducted into the “World Professional Martial Arts Association’s Hall of Fame,” voted “Man of the Century,” and in 2001 received the prestigious “Martial Arts World Federation Lifetime Achievement Award.” Master Yu presently resides in the Los Angeles area, where, at the age of 67, he continues to teach martial arts at his school located inside the CBS Studio Center. His life story is currently being chronicled in a full-length feature film project entitled Monkey Man.
Is this what you meant by "famous"?
Or did you mean like "Paris Hilton" or "Britney Spears"?

Within the TKD community there's plenty. Sang Kim, Hee IL Cho, Jhoon Rhee, In Ho Lee etc etc.
Famous as in Hollywood celebrities who's to say? Many of them practice martial arts. James Caan has been practicing Karate for years. Wesley Snipes has some TKD background. Steve McQueen took lessons from Bruce Lee etc etc.
