Do you remember your childhood dream? When being a child, we clearly stated what we would do in the future and the possibilities are endless. Some wanted to be a teacher or doctor, some wished to become a singer or even an astronaut. However, most childhood dream jobs didn’t line up with what we ended up pursuing in life. Celebrities are no exception.
It’s hard to imagine some of our favorite celebrities doing anything except acting, singing, and so on. While we are familiar with the images of stars such as Jennifer Aniston, Ed Sheeran, and Margot Robbie, they all had other dreams outside of making it in Hollywood. We believe that even though they weren’t stars, they will shine in other fields.
Here are 11 celebrities who share the jobs they would have if they weren’t famous.
