10 Weirdest Jobs Wrestlers Had Before They Were Stars
9. Sheamus: I.T. Technician, Bodyguard
Long before he was Brogue Kicking fellas on WWE programming and shaving his hair into a ridiculous mohawk, Sheamus actually enjoyed two rather divergent careers.
Earlier on in his life, Sheamus actually worked as an I.T. technician at Symantec and Hartford Life in his native Dublin. The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion has confessed that he wasn't exactly a next-level technical whizz, he just knew how to deal with people and that the job would be a good way of paying the bills until he made it as a pro wrestler.
Incredibly, the Irish superstar also used to earn a bit of extra cash from being Bono's personal bodyguard. Yep, you read that right.
Talking about his time as a bodyguard in Lille's Bordello, Sheamus told Independent.ie, "Bono would be in all the time. I’d be standing there, making sure nobody spiked his drink, or try to steal his pint. It was a handy way to make a bit of wedge."
You'd definitely think twice about trying to get a picture with the rock legend if you saw a beefed-up, fiery-haired monster stood next to him, that's for sure.
