Christopher Walken: Lion Tamer
We were shocked to find out that Christopher Walken’s first job was a circus lion tamer when he was just 16 years old. Next, he liked to dance, so he trained as a dancer before moving on to stage performance. He broke into showbiz a stage actor in an off-Broadway musical starring alongside Liza Minnelli.
The next thing he knew, he was starring opposite Sean Connery in “The Anderson Tapes” and a slew of eccentric characters and powerful roles. None of those roles, however, required lion taming. Oh well, maybe in his next film.
Ashton Kutcher: Janitor
Yes, it's Christopher Ashton Kutcher, and no, you're not being Punk'd! Kutcher started acting in his teenage years. His career only grew from there, and even branched beyond entertainment into the realm of venture capital firms.
Looking like he does makes it hard to believe that he's ever done anything not glamorous, but reality tells a different story. When he was younger, Kutcher worked as a grocery store employee, cleaned factories, and helped his father with construction projects. Such a hard-working kid!
Demi Moore: Debt Collector
Demi Moore is an accomplished actress, director, model, and former songwriter. She has proven again and again how dedicated she is to her craft as not many actresses would shave their heads bald for a movie role like she did in the iconic film, "G.I. Jane".
Have you ever wondered how Moore used to pay her bills before becoming a well-respected actress? Well, we have, and we looked it up. Apparently, Moore used to work as a debt collector! Not what you'd expect from a dainty woman such as Demi.
Matt LeBlanc: Carpenter
Hey look, it's Joey Tribbiani! Matt LeBlanc is probably used to being called Joey all the time. Playing the same characters for 10 seasons in one of the most successful sitcoms in history would do that to you.
LeBlanc initially had his eyes set on becoming a model but that's not what he did before acting took off for him. Parallel to small appearances in shows like "Married... with Children" and a ketchup commercial, he also worked as a carpenter.
Beyoncé: Hair Salon
Beyoncé Knowles did not gain her success overnight. She had her first job sweeping the floor of her mother's Texas hair salon. She did that from the age of 6 until she was 9 years old and use that platform to put on little shows for her mother's clients. How adorable is that?
She rose to fame in the 1990s as the lead singer of the ever-popular R&B girl-group Destiny's Child, but acting soon followed. She acted in several films, such as "Dreamgirls", "Obsessed", and "The Lion King". Now she can probably afford several people to sweep her floor for her.
