The singer worked a series of odd jobs before making it big, but perhaps his weirdest was marking off plots at a cemetery.

Tatum had experience stripping long before his Magic Mike days. He became a stripper at 19 but thinks that the experience was much more cheesy than sexy. I’ve seen Tatum dance and have to say that I wholeheartedly disagree.

Imagine the Wolverine coming to your house in full clown makeup. You don’t have to because it happened. Jackman worked as a party clown before launching his acting career.

Before he was McDreamy, he was a juggler. Like, a really excellent, professional juggler. It’s a job.

The movie star credits strippers for changing his life. Before he started acting, Pitt worked as a driver, taking strippers to different events. One of them recommended an acting class that set Pitt on the movie star path.

From frozen yogurt to Frozen. Bell told David Letterman that she probably served fruit flies to many people while working at a sketchy frozen yogurt shop.
