Contrary to popular belief, celebrities aren’t always born famous. Some of our favorite stars actually had relatively normal childhoods before they made it big. They went to school, had to clean their room before they could go outside, and they had to work “normal” jobs to pay the bills. Some of these jobs weren’t so glamorous either.
We all have a story or two about our first jobs and these celebs can relate. From the rapper who worked at Red Lobster to the actor who got paid to sweep cereal off the ground, check out the jobs celebs worked before they became famous.
Miley Cyrus’ First Job Was Collecting Bras at Her Dad’s Concerts
Here’s an odd task to give your young daughter! You may remember Miley Cyrus kick-starting her career on Disney’s Hannah Montana, but it turns out she actually started her career as her father Billy Ray Cyrus’ stagehand. Miley was paid $10 to pick up all of the bras and underwear that were thrown onstage by fans during the peak of his career, and we’re pretty sure she is never going to let her dad live that one down!
"I’d get a really big one and be like ‘Dad! look I found your biggest fan!’" Miley toldRolling Stone in 2013.
