10 Weird Jobs Hollywood Stars Had Before They Were Famous

8. Cocaine Dealer - Tim Allen

Tim Allen reached international acclaim with his The Santa Clause film series, the combined trilogy of which raked in just under $1 billion despite being predictably less funny as the series progressed. One visual theme these movies had with his former illicit profession was snow - lots of snow. Hollywood and hedonism tend to go hand in hand, the parties of the rich and famous full of stories about excessive drug consumption. While Hollywood stars and their drug habits are hardly breaking news, Allen's daliance with a different kind of snow as a cocaine dealer was on another level entirely. He was arrested in 1978 with 650 grams of cocaine and very nearly received a life sentence. Fortunately for Allen's fans he was released after less than 3 years. Later in life he'd go on to deliver a different kind of Buzz to his paying customers, co-starring in Pixar's blockbuster animated Toy Story movies alongside Tom Hanks.
