What If They Didn’t Get That Big Break?

Many of us aspire to live the lives of our favourite celebrities. We see actors in films and wish we lived the high life. We sometimes forget that these superstars were just average joes like the rest of us before they made it big in their careers. Before the money, before the personal trainers, before the plastic surgery, they were normal people and in another universe you could be having your fridge delivered by Brad Pitt.

Here’s a list of jobs famous actors had before they got their big break:

Brad Pitt:

Delivered refrigerators, drove strippers around in a limo and wore a chicken suit for El Pollo Loco (The Crazy Chicken).

Johnny Depp:

Worked in a call centre selling pens.

Gerard Butler:

A qualified lawyer, Butler worked as an assistant at a law firm.

George Clooney:

Was a shoe salesman and spent some time working on a tobacco farm.

Sandra Bullock:

Bartender and waitress.

Jim Carrey:

Just like Stephen King, he worked as a janitor before his career took off.

Hugh Grant:

Used his degree in English Literature to get him jobs doing book reviews and radio ad scripts.

Rachel McAdams:

Worked at McDonalds for 3 years.

Patrick Dempsey:

Professional Juggler

Hugh Jackman:

High school PE teacher.

Steve Buscemi:

In his early 20’s, he was a fireman for the New York Fire Department. He was called to active duty to help after the 9/11 attacks.

Quentin Tarantino:

We all know this one. The motor-mouthed writer/director worked in a video store before he became the filmmaker all aspiring filmmakers try to be like before they find their own style.

That is all.
