Celebrities who were homeless before their careers

Big earnings and luxury - it's hard not to envy Hollywood stars. It is hard to believe that some of them spent part of their lives on the street homeless, but managed to climb to the very top.

Jennifer Lopez

Since childhood, Jennifer dreamed of becoming a bright celebrity and was ready to do anything to achieve her goal. When she dropped out of school, her parents refused to support her, and for a while Lopez had to spend the night where she had to, including the couch in the dance studio.

The celebrity began to make her first money dancing. Later, Jennifer Lopez became famous as the first Latin American actress to earn over a million dollars in one role.

Jim carrey

When Jim was still in school, his family started having money problems. In order to somehow survive, young Kerry, his brother and sisters had to earn extra money as janitors at the school. The situation was complicated by the fact that the actor's father was fired, and the mother was considered crazy because she was a hypochondriac. Due to the inability to pay for housing, the family ended up on the street and lived in the car for several months.

After school, Jim went to work at a steel mill. Once in an interview, the actor noted that he would have stayed to work there if nothing had worked out with his acting career.

Chris Pratt

Probably Chris Pratt was able to portray the gouging Peter Quill so vividly on the screen in Guardians of the Galaxy because he himself was the same before. He dropped out of college shortly after entering, and went to Maui, where he worked as a waiter. The money he received was only enough for a tent, booze and drugs.

That all changed when director Ray Dong Chong offered him a role in her debut film, The Damned 3. It was after this that Pratt decided to pursue an acting career.

Sylvester Stallone

This actor has had bad luck since the beginning of his life. Obstetricians accidentally damaged his facial nerve, which is why he has problems with facial expressions, and his speech is a little incoherent. At one time, Sylvester worked as a doorman, cleaned cages at the zoo. He starred in an adult film because he had spent the night on the street for a week.

Only the script of the famous film "Rocky" brought the actor fame and considerable income. For the sake of the role of a die-hard boxer, Stallone even agreed to the condition of the film studio - to reduce his fee.

These examples show that you should not judge people only "by their clothes." Life at any moment can change in the most unexpected way, and you never know who you will be the next day - you will become homeless or wake up famous.
