5 actors who made their way to fame out of poverty
When we read the latest details about the sweet life of Hollywood stars, we, of course, in a light way envy them. They have expensive cars, fancy dresses, and big houses. Who wouldn't want to live like this?
But instead of being envious, it is better to remember that many actors were not always rich and famous. Moreover, some of them even starved as children and fought their way to fame through hard work and perseverance.
It is worth borrowing from these guys the patience and ability to never lose heart!
Demi Moore
The bad father left them with their mother before she was born, and the poor woman began to drink out of grief. After a while, she met a new life partner, but unfortunately-he turned out to be the same lover of alcohol. Soon they had accumulated so much debt that they began to constantly move from place to place, and soon the stepfather died. There was nothing to pay the bills and nothing to buy food with.
Demi realized that if she didn't get a job, it would get worse. She dropped out of school and decided to try modeling. For a very long time, she earned a penny just by participating in small photo sessions. But one day a neighbor in the Dorm, by the way, it was the future actress Nastasya Kinsky, suggested that she go together to audition for a low-budget TV series. And so demi got into the movies
Jet Li
He was born in a large family in China. The parents were very fond of all the children and spoiled them, but two years later the father died, and the family fell into poverty. His mother had no qualifications, so she could work no more than as a bus conductor. Due to the fact that there was not enough money for school uniforms and textbooks, jet even went to school a year later, when he managed to save up a little. In the 1st grade, he invited himself and his friends to the Wushu section and at the first classes showed such abilities that the teachers agreed to teach him for free. Little jet immediately realized that this was his future, and trained daily to become a successful athlete. A few years later, he won 4 gold medals in a row. Well, then fame brought him to the movies.
Jackie Chan
His parents were constantly moving in search of a better life, but they still couldn't find it. The family was constantly starving, and both parents took on any hard work, just to scrape together some money. There is even a rumor that once they became so unbearable that they were ready to sell little Jackie. But everything went well, and the son stayed with them.
When he was 6 years old, he was sent to study at the theater school at the Beijing Opera. It was the cheapest school they could find. But the boy suddenly liked to learn acting, and after a couple of years, he began to take on cameo roles in small films. And a little later, as he grew up, he became interested in kung fu and discovered the famous stunt talent.
Jim Carrey
Jim's father was a lowly security guard at a factory, and his mother suffered from a rare form of neurosis — she constantly attributed various illnesses to herself. Because the mother refused to go to work, all the children in the family had to work. They washed toilets at the same factory, collected garbage, handed over scrap, but nothing helped. Soon they were kicked out of the house for non-payment and had to live in an old van.
Jim has been trying to get on the stage since he was 11 years old. He sent out his comic sketches to a bunch of different shows, but because of his young age, they didn't take him seriously. Several times he made attempts to break through and perform with his own number, but luck still did not come. Finally, a well-known comedian took him to warm up. Life began to improve, and, getting more or less on his feet, Jim began to storm Hollywood.
Keanu Reeves
Their drug-addicted father left them when Kean was only three years old. My mother was not very serious and was constantly on the lookout for the "right" man. Because of this search for her, the family was constantly traveling around the world and got into various troubles, from drug problems to school absenteeism. Not surprisingly, when the family finally settled in Toronto, Keanu was no longer eager to graduate. He was more attracted to the idea of becoming a hockey player.
It is not known what would have happened to the young talent, but he was accidentally invited to the cinema, to stand in front of the camera on the gate. He liked the experience so much that he immediately dropped everything, got into his old car, and drove to Los Angeles. I had to beat the doorsteps, starve, then Keanu remembered that one of his mother's husbands had once been a Hollywood producer. He found the former stepfather and begged to find at least a tiny role. Well, then we know.
