9 Celebrities You Won't Believe Were Once Homeless
These nine famous figures weren't always holed up in mansions!
There aren't many career paths more risky than in the film industry. Often described as a 'lottery job', pursuing a career in Hollywood can make budding actors and directors either multi-millionaires or penniless, with little in between. A love for the job and many famous 'rags to riches' tales mean that hundreds of thousands more people are drawn to the Hollywood dream each year, despite a very small percentage finding success. As you'd expect, the high cost of living and little regular income has unfortunately led many to homelessness. There's often the stereotype of the Hollywood success stories emerging from families that already had strong links in the industry. However, there are many current A-listers that started out in a far less glamourous manner. It was only through hard work, and a little luck, that these individuals ever managed to break free of their tough origins. This list takes a look at nine famous figures that were once homeless. Despite being huge household names today, each of these stars had to struggle to get where they are today.
