Ever wondered what your favorite celebrities did before they became household names? Think again if you assume they all started in the entertainment industry! From lion tamers to mortuary cosmetologists, these stars had some pretty unusual jobs before hitting the big time.

Lion Tamer to Hollywood Icon
Christopher Walken, known for his intense performances, started his career as a lion tamer in a traveling circus. He fondly remembers his feline co-star Sheba, saying, “She was like a dog, really… All I had to do was wave my whip and she’d roll over, sit up, and lay down.”
From Dead to Glam
Whoopi Goldberg took on the unconventional role of a mortuary cosmetologist, applying makeup and styling hair for the deceased. She recalls, “It’s a rough gig, I think… You have to love people to be able to make them worthy of a great send-off.”
 
Royal Calligraphy
Before becoming a royal duchess, Meghan Markle taught calligraphy at Paper Source and even worked on celebrity wedding invitations, including Paula Patton and Robin Thicke’s.
Circus Acts and Cruise Ships
Pierce Brosnan spent three years as a circus fire eater, while Taraji P. Henson moonlighted as a Tina Turner cover artist on a cruise ship. Hugh Jackman donned a red nose and wig as the clown “Coco” at children’s birthday parties, and Megan Fox wore a banana costume as a mascot for a Florida smoothie shop.
From Corn to Catwalk
Terry Crews painted portraits of his former NFL teammates, Cindy Crawford shucked corn for minimum wage, and Danny DeVito worked as a hairdresser for female corpses. These unique experiences likely shaped their perspectives and work ethics, contributing to their success.
Unconventional Paths to Stardom
These examples show that even the most unlikely jobs can lead to stardom with determination and hard work. Next time you see your favorite celebrity on the big screen or social media, remember they may have once tamed lions or worn a banana suit to make ends meet!
