Celebs Who Had Weird Jobs Before Fame

January 01, 1970

It’s easy to forget that celebrities are just normal human beings. With all the glitz and glam surrounding their lavish lifestyles, it’s hard to imagine them doing everyday things.

However, everyone has to start somewhere and some of these celebrities had some pretty interesting jobs before they found their place in Hollywood!

Whoopi Goldberg

Before she was an Oscar-winning actress, Whoopi Goldberg worked as a bricklayer for a construction company.

After quitting her job as a bricklayer, she went on to become a morgue beautician. Yes, Whoopi would dress up corpses before their funeral…

Kanye West

Before he was the ‘greatest rock star of all time’ (his words, not ours), Kim Kardashian’s hubby used to work as a sales assistant at Gap.

We guess his passion for fashion started at an early age. We just wonder if he was friendly to the customers.

Matt LeBlanc

Before he became a household name playing ‘Joey’ on the hit sitcom, ‘Friends’, Matt was a carpenter that used to make furniture.

Rachel McAdams

Rachel worked at McDonald’s for a whopping three years before she got her foot in the door in Hollywood!

She has said before that while she may have worked at the fast food restaurant for quite some time she ‘wasn’t a very good employee’.

Regina George would never approve.

Nicole Kidman

Nicole worked as a massage therapist in her native Australia before heading to the US and marrying Tom Cruise, divorcing Tom Cruise, winning an Oscar, and eventually starting a life in Nashville with husband, Keith Urban.

Johnny Depp

Hollywood’s favourite bad boy, Johnny Depp, used to sell ballpoint pens over the phone before he became one of the world’s most desirable heartthrobs.
