Most celebrities have a very different background from where they are now, and most have endured everyday jobs, like the rest of us, before finding fame.
From shop work to lap dancing, celebrities have done it all and had times where they have taken any job to help make ends meet.
But what are some of the most outrageous jobs some of our favourite famous faces have had?

Here are some of the most surprising roles our now well-known celebrities have held.
Victoria Beckham - roller-skating sperm
Posh Spice wasn't so posh in the days before she found fame.
One of her jobs included being a roller-skating sperm when she landed a role in a BBC sex education programme in 1986 called Body Matters.
It's hard to imagine Victoria in such an outfit these days, and sadly it appears she's had any photographic evidence destroyed.
Kerry Katona - lap dancer
While Kerry Katona is known for her days in Atomic Kitten and her stints on reality TV, she had another career before making it big.
When she was just 17-years-old, Kerry had a stint working as a lap dancer.
She wrote in her New! magazine column: "I only did it for three weeks - I quit when the Kittens took off - but I could make up to £500 a night."
Megan Fox - giant banana
Before she topped 'sexiest woman' lists in every magazine possible, actress Megan Fox, 35, dressed up as a giant banana to promote a smoothie parlour in Florida.
She revealed on The Ellen Show: "Once a week, usually on Fridays, someone had to dress up as a fruit, a piece of fruit, and go and stand out by the highway.
"I was a banana, a giant banana."
Harry Styles - baker
Before his music career, Harry Styles had a part-time job at the W Mandeville Bakery in Cheshire, which he was still doing while appearing on X Factor.
The star actually revisited the bakery in 2013, during the filming of the One Direction Documentary This is Us.
Gemma Collins - car sales
Glamourous diva Gemma Collins previously used her charm to sell cars.
It was through this job that Gem first crashed onto TOWIE, as she was filmed trying to sell a car to star of the show, Kirk Norcross.
Phillip Schofield - tea boy
Before appearing on screen as one of the nation's most loved TV presenters, Phillip Schofield had humble beginnings working behind the sets as a tea boy.
After years of writing to the BBC, Phil worked as a bookings clerk and tea boy for BBC Radio in London, and was their youngest employee when he worked there.
He went on to work for multiple radio stations in New Zealand, before returning to the UK and working his way up the ladder.
Hugh Jackman - clown
Acting in The Greatest Showman wasn't the first time Hugh had connections to a circus act as in his younger days he entertained kids as a clown.
He once shared images of his clown days with fans, saying he wasn't the best at the job.
He said: "I was Coco the Clown and I had no magic tricks and I remember a six-year-old standing up at a party saying 'Mummy this clown is terrible, he doesn't know any tricks' - and he was right."
Pierce Brosnan - fire eater
Back in the late '60s, James Bond's Pierce Brosnan joined in on a crash course on how to eat fire, taught by a street performer.
Even though he learned the skill decades ago, he still brings it up when booking jobs.
He told the Guardian: "It’s still [on my CV], absolutely."
Meghan Markle - calligrapher
Before making it big as an actress in Suits, and then going on to marry Prince Harry, Meghan Markle dabbled in some fine writing.
Meghan was a calligraphy instructor at Paper Source as well as a freelance calligrapher.
She was even hired to do wedding invitations for celebrities, such as Paula Patton and Robin Thicke.
