We all represent actors, singers and showmen as “upper class” people who belong to the “cream of society”, the elite, and the elite. That's just in the life of stars, such confidence was far from always.
Yes, many actors and singers followed in the footsteps of parents or other close people, got into the world of show business due to connections or unpleasant moments. But others did not even think of themselves in such a creative field, soberly assessed the possibilities and therefore earned their living by the most ordinary profession, and sometimes quite strange. Someone was selling drugs, another worked in the field of funeral services, and still others earned money in public catering.
Let's look at the top 10 celebrities of music and cinema, who can be embarrassed to remember their earnings in their youth.
10. Hugh Jackman
The famous Wolverine keeps confidently on the screen - it seems that Jackman was born for the role of theater and film actor. Courageous good looks would allow Hugh to also earn extra money in the modeling business or realize himself in the field of marketing, contact sales, etc. And you can’t say at first glance that once a man had to put on a clown costume to amuse kids and their wealthy relatives at family celebrations. Hugh could be ordered as an animator for any occasion, and now people are going to look at it even behind the fences of fences. This is an unpredictable fate - it pays tribute to everyone.
9. Ozzy Osbourne
Yes, in the appearance of the famous Prince of Darkness, a rock singer and an informal, you will not please a social worker, a seller at McDonald's, or a children's doctor. Yes, Ozzy was never attracted to such activities, because before the professional career of a musician, he got a job at a slaughterhouse, slaughtering and butchering animals. Interestingly, this professional deformation was reflected in the style of Osborne's work, or in his soul there were always notes of “devilry” and depravity. In any case, karma certainly will not spare him for killing unfortunate animals.
8. Danny De Vito
If you imagine De Vito outside the cinema, then the profession of a comedian or a showman, a host of holidays, a circus performer immediately comes to mind. It seems that humor pervaded every cell of the actor, so he could find himself only on this path. Nevertheless, at one time the bald Danny put in order the hair of other people. For this, he even received a document from the Academy of Hair and Culture of Beauty. A man got a job working in the salon with his sister, where, without stopping the scissors, he created new fashionable hairstyles. In parallel, the guy went to the drama academy (where he went to the makeup department) and read out a monologue, which forever changed his fate. Of course, the first roles of Danny were not very successful, but in the theater he shone and after a couple of years got into a solid project.
7. Jim Carrey
Judging by the work of Carrie, he can easily be represented by a lawyer, a bank employee, a veterinarian, and even God. But the boy's dreams in the late 70s were more mundane, which made him get a job as a janitor in a factory. Thus, Jim supported the family, which was in distress. In parallel, the guy worked part time in gum clubs, speaking at the opening act of famous comedians. Producers and journalists quickly drew attention to him, pulling him out of the service sector and offering a big world of cinema. By the way, the young comedian worked his first jokes on his colleagues while working at a local steel mill.
6. Sean Connery
Prior to gaining popularity, the man hesitated and could not find his way. This forced him to change a number of specializations and professions, gaining useful skills. Of course, we don’t think that the skill of delivering milk to addresses could really be useful to Sean in the future, but working as a truck driver is enough. Connery also managed to get involved in the Royal Navy, and at some point in his life was forced to work in the field of funeral services, tidying the coffins of the deceased. It’s scary to imagine what a talented young man’s life would be if it weren’t for the opportunity to become a professional actor.
5. Patrick Dempsey
The star of the cult series "Anatomy of Passion", as well as Hollywood films, was previously associated with creativity, here are just a bit of a different kind. Patrick without hesitation earned money as a juggler in public and was so successful in his skill that he was even invited to national competitions. If it were not for the actor’s career, perhaps we would have met a star on some circus scene more than once.
4. Johnny Depp
Johnny would have looked like the profession of a psychologist, stylist, fashion designer, or barbershop worker. But, alas, life drove Depp into the service industry, where he worked out the skill of telemarketers. He had to call people, in a convincing and always positive voice, pushing them to buy a couple of ballpoint pens on which manufacturers could put names. Johnny recalls that before the proposal he had to attract the attention of the listener, for which he should deceive the man and say that he won a rare watch or a ticket to a hot country. It’s good that Depp’s communication skills have come in handy in the movies - remember Jack Sparrow, who literally doesn’t shut up in the popular pirate saga.
3. Orlando Bloom
It’s a pity there is no elf work, otherwise Orlando would be accepted there as his own. You can also imagine Bloom as a model or artist, some subtle and sensitive nature, a creative person. However, the appearance is deceiving - Orlando at one time moonlighted as a trapper at the firing range, helping people to shoot skeet.
2. Clint Eastwood
A cult actor has never seen himself in the world of cinema and show business, so even now, in his old age, he is trying to escape away from paparazzi and fuss. Until the first roles Clint continually came across offers from producers, which he rejected. The guy modestly tried to earn a living by installing pools for more affluent people.
1. Whoopi Goldberg
Charming and externally interesting Whoopi is called to be an actress, but life once decreed otherwise. First, she dropped out of college and managed to get in touch with drugs, then she became the wife of the dealer, and after the divorce she already became an Oscar-winning actress. In the interval between such two different lives, Goldberg did not disdain any strange work - she laid bricks at a construction site, and then completely got into the morgue as a “cosmetologist” for the corpse. Whoopi tried to make the deceased more attractive on their last solemn day, so she considers this work to be honest and decent, albeit unpleasant. The hard work tempered the character of the star, so shooting in the "Ghost" was given to her quite comfortably and helped to become popular.
These are our star workers! Therefore, do not rush to envy - you never know in which “shoes” this or that person went his life's journey to the moment of fame and popularity. Perhaps if you were offered a similar price for wealth and fashionable life, you would not have found the appropriate strength in yourself.
