Famous people like Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, or Brad Pitt made a lot before shining in Hollywood. Before they achieved fame, some celebrities had surprising jobs: beautician, security agent, clown. Here are the jobs exercised by Hollywood stars before fame …

Hugh Jackman

The actor Hugh Jackman wore a red nose to entertain children as ” Coco the Clown” before he became famous. Back then, for only $50, you could rent his services to entertain your parties and birthdays.

The Australian actor has also worked as a fitness coach before appearing on the big screen. His memorable movie performances include “X-Men” and ” The Miserable”.

Mark Wahlberg

Mark Wahlberg has had several jobs before becoming a gifted actor. At the age of only 13, he joined the boysband “New Kids On The Block”. His brother Donnie Wahlberg was also a member. Then Mark created the American hip-hop group, “Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch”.

The band has been very successful with the single “Good Vibrations”. Recognized thanks to his sporty look, he is contacted by the underwear brand Calvin Klein to represent the brand. It is only afterward that his acting talent will explode in successful films such as “Patriots’ Day”, “Deepwater Horizon” and “Transformers: The Last Knight”.

Brad Pitt

We may have some difficulty imagining Brad Pitt walking around in a chicken suit. And yet, the first job of this international star was to walk around dressed as a chicken to attract customers of a fast-food chain.

Before his acting career, Brad Pitt was also a stripper driver. During his studies at the University of Missouri, he was also a member of a Chippendales company called ‘Dancing Bares’.

Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg made the whole world laugh in the famous movie “Sister Act” by playing a crazy nun. Yet, before her career as an actress, Whoopi Goldberg did a quite gloomy job.

Indeed, the humorist was employed as a beautician for a funeral home. The American actress would also have been a call girl, a mason, and even a bank teller.

Nicole Kidman

Before her fame, the Australian actress already had a job in the entertainment industry. Nicole Kidman was a cinema hostess and walked visitors to their seats.

At 16 years old, Kidman made his movie debut in an Australian film called Bush Christmas and had made a good start. However, her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer the following year, which interrupted her acting career.

So she switched to massage to help her mother with physiotherapy and also worked as a massage therapist for a while. Her mother recovered from cancer and Nicole quickly returned to acting.
