1. What Did They Do Before They
Were Famous?
Hollywood Stars

2. Madonna: Cashier at Dunkin’s Donuts
Even the best singer in the world
could be a poor cashier: it is all a
matter of talent! The Queen of
Pop has been working in Dunkin’
Donuts, located in Times Square
in New York. Obviously, she was
not as good there as she later on
became on the music scene. Her
pastries were all right, but
handling donut jelly turned out to
be a problem. She was sacked for
that – which in the end turned out
to be a good milestone in her
career.

3. Brad Pitt: Chicken Dancer
for El Pollo Loco
I wonder whether there is something
funnier to do than dance around
dressed like a chicken. But this is
exactly what Brad Pitt once did for El
Pollo Loco. He has started his
journalism studies at the University of
Missouri, but quit at the very
beginning because of the immense
wish to become an actor. However, he
had money problems during that time
just after the college and just before his
dazzling movie career. He is now the
sexiest man in the world, so it is rather
funny to pull up his old chicken
clothes. He is also very rich today,
while he had to work for El Pollo Loco
to earn enough for the rent.

4. Rachel McAdams: Server at
McDonald’s
Even very young future celebrities were
interested in earning their own money.
In the middle of her teens, Rachel
McAdams was a McDonald’s employee.
She worked there hard for three years,
but her impressions are mixed: she was
attacked by OCD and had imagined
that she should wash hands all the time.
Besides, there was not that much space
in her life to devote all time she
had to McDonald’s. She has realized
that job there is not her destiny and she
went for acting career. On top of
everything, she even succeeded to
break machine for orange juice. As you
see, that kind of problem happens to
everyone, not only the movie.

5. Gwen Stefani: Employee
at Dairy Queen
There is no doubt about No Doubt.
Gwen Stefani could not have picked a
better location for the founding of her
band. We are talking about Gwen
Stefani’s brother Eric Stefani and friend
John Spence, who worked together at
Dairy Queen. Their job was to clean
the floors and serve ice-cream, not very
appealing or well paid job. However,
this is where future three stars were
born! And all this has happened while
they were still in high school. It is
impossible to understand how this
modest beginning has lead to immense
fame, but it is a fact that Gwen Stefani
today has millions of fans.

6. Patrick Dempsey:
Juggler and Dancer
Grey’s Anatomy is one of the greatest
successes of Patrick Dempsey, but his
professional capabilities lie more in the
world of a bit different entertainment.
Instead of playing a doctor, he
started extensive use of his hands,
becoming a professional juggler in the
end. He has achieved immense success
with that, even as early as a high school
pupil. After some time of work, he has
brought his performance to perfection.
“Overnight Success” was the place
where he was invited for a show
organized by ABC. This is where he
started dancing together with juggling,
all the way up!

7. Beyoncé:
Not Even a Hair Dresser
One of the world’s top performers
today has been previously working in
a hair-dresser salon, but did not even
qualify to be a hair dresser: she was
sweeping floors instead. The place
was owned by her mother Tina, who
was a true perfectionist. Beyoncé has
soon found her place in music and
she used to sing a lot even when she
was working for her mother. Her
voice must have been inspiring for
everybody around her. As the pop
star has advanced, she has decided
to publish a book about her
“previous” life, a HBO documentary
“Life Is But a Dream”.

8. Megan Fox:
Banana atSmoothie Shop
Only Ellen has established
that early start of Megan Fox was
working at the Smoothie Shop
dressed as a huge banana. The one
who is now conquering world with
her looks, had actually to hide her
body in front of the customers.
However bad, this was the only job
she had and she had to stick with
it. As the sexy brunette claims now,
this work in Florida was her only
“real job”. And Ellen had a surprise
for her: she had a man dressed in a
costume of snack with fruit to
frighten her from behind.

9. Julia Roberts: Ice Cream
Scooper at Baskin Robbins
31 Flavors was a working place for
many world’s known Americans.
Some of them are Barack Obama,
Eric Dane, Leeza Gibbons and
Taryn Manning; and let us not
forget: Julia Roberts. Now, how
nice it would be to have Julia
Roberts serve you some sweet
dishes at Baskin Robbins? Now
you can only dream
about lost possibilities from the
past: Julia Roberts is a multimillionaire actress today and does
not need to work as
a scooper for living.

10. Hugh Jackman: Gym Teacher
at High School
It is just one of those experiences:
your life has lead you to the redcarpet in Zurich, while one of the
journalists fighting for the place
closest to it turns out to be your
former student! And even Hugh
Jackman sees it as no surprise. He
has been teaching physical
education in British schools and
was amazed to learn that his
student has become a well-known
reporter. After they took a look at
one another, Jackman commented
shortly that his pupil’s fitness was
improved.

11. Nicole Kidman:
Massage Therapist
While many celebrities were working hard for
survival or enjoyed some of their funny roles in
life, Nicole Kidman has skipped school in order
to help her family go through an immensely
difficult period when her mother turned out to be
suffering from breast cancer. Surprisingly, the
cancer was brought under control and Kidman’s
mother has survived it. During the most difficult
times, Kidman was working as a massage
therapist, a long time before this red-head has
conquered the movie world with her great talent
and amazing looks. However, she
is saying herself that there are more important
roles in her life than just acting. Everybody thinks
that her attitude towards life values today is
largely influenced by the hard times from her
past. And let us not forget that she has pulled
massage therapist action when she was merely 17
years old.

12. Connie Britton:
Instructor of Aerobics
As looks are sometimes considered
more important than anything else, it
does not come as a huge surprise
that sexy Connie Britton has started
her career as an aerobics instructor.
She is a star of “Nashville” show
today, but she had different
experiences from the past. Her body
has made it possible to earn money
from aerobics. She admits that she
had to do the job properly and not
miss warmers for legs, a bandana,
leotards in various colors and thick
socks.

13. Geena Davis: Ann Taylor’s
Window Mannequin
Like all other movie stars, Geena
Davis has also dreamed about her
career from an early age. As the first
step towards future big success, Davis
has worked in fashion industry as a
window mannequin for Ann Taylor.
But even that did not come easy. She
has first moved to New York in 1979
and her first job in Ann Taylor was a
sales clerk. When people there got to
know her better, she was offered to
present clothes in shop windows on
Saturdays. Her appearance did not go
unnoticed and she has gradually
fought her way as a gorgeous actress.

14. Jennifer Aniston: Telemarketer
Rachel from “Friends” is today
famous celebrity, but before her
big success there was time for
other types of jobs, telemarketer,
to mention one. As well as
Madonna, Aniston was not very
successful with her work. The job
of salesgirl was not her thing.
Communication by phone did not
go easy, she was lacking all
possible skills needed for the job
and she was full of lousy excuses.
As she puts it herself – she was
awful.

15. Johnny Depp:
Salesman of Ballpoint Pens
A successful ballpoint pens
seller has luckily accepted
advice from Nicolas Cage to
try acting instead. Where
would Johnny Depp be today
if it was not for Cage?

16. Faith Hill: Receptionist
American country pop singer Faith
Hill has started her career as a
receptionist in Nashville. She was
working for a company performing
music publishing. After that, she
got a job related to Reba
McEntire’s fan club. When she was
performing as a back-up singer in a
bar she was noticed by a random
talent scout and she has climbed
up the celebrity ladder to the top
place, where she is also today.
