What were Brad Pitt, Rachel McAdams and Eva Mendes doing before they were famous?
Today we look at the potentially-embarrassing and downright ordinary jobs, held by some of today's biggest and most successful celebrities, before they found fame and fortune.
Did you know that Whoopi Goldberg used to work in a funeral parlour before she became an award winning actress? Yes, she also was a bricklayer! Jon Bon Jovi, on the other hand, decorated Christmas trees as part of his job.
Contrary to popular belief, not all celeb roads to stardom were paved with gold. Like us, some of them had 9-5 jobs, some of them wore funny, laugh-out-loud costumes, and a few of them even scrubbed floors and bathrooms at local fast food chains to earn a living.
Paying tribute to those who sit behind their desks for a good 9 hours every day, we take a look at some of Hollywood's most popular celebs before they were rolling in millions like they are today!
