1. Channing Tatum

Channing's career as a film actor began quite juicy. In college, he received a football scholarship, but the money was sorely lacking, and therefore the young guy was forced to get a job as a stripper in one of the nightclubs in Los Angeles. Earning money, in fact, with his body, Channing realized that he could try his hand at a modeling career. To achieve success, the guy went to Miami, where scouts of one agency “caught” him right on the street. After that, Channing went through hundreds of fashion shows, photo shoots, and advertising shoots. It was then that the directors noticed him. Channing's first role was a cameo in C.S.I.: Miami Crime Scene Investigation.

2. Charlize Theron

When the young girl moved from South Africa to Los Angeles, she did not even suspect that she could become a star. At that time, Charlize was experiencing great financial difficulties, so when she was told that they could not cash her check at the bank, she threw up a scandal, because every cent she earned was really dear to her. It was at that moment that she was noticed by an agent who oversaw already-known stars. He helped Charlize solve the money problem and sent her to acting classes. As a result, after 8 months, the girl managed to get a short role in an episode of the film "Children of the Corn 3: Urban Harvest." This was the beginning of her career.

3. Rosario Dawson

The career of the star of the films "Clerks 2" and "Amazon Treasure" also began from the accidental circumstances in which Rosario found herself. The girl just caught the eye of photographer Larry Clark and his assistant Harmony Korin when she was sitting on the porch of her house. At that time, Korin was just writing the script for his new picture, which became the debut in Clark's career as a director. Noticing the young Rosario, he felt that she would be ideal for the role of one of the heroines of the film - Ruby. That is how Rosaria Dawson's career began.

4. Mel Gibson

The multi-award-winning actor got his big break after... a bar fight! A friend of Gibson's quite by accident "attributed" Gibson to an audition, where they were supposed to choose a tough guy for some then-unknown film. When Gibson and his friend drove up to the site, the director immediately noticed him. Beaten and not yet recovered from a night of drinking, Mel was considered an ideal actor for a role in the film Mad Max, which later became his hallmark.

5. Natalie Portman

Even being very young, at the age of 10, Natalie already possessed unearthly beauty and an enviable appearance. It was her pretty face that played a key role on the threshold of a successful career as an actress. When she was sitting in a pizzeria, she was noticed by a scout of a modeling agency. Naturally, he could not just pass by such a beauty. He immediately made an attempt and invited Natalie to try herself as a model. But self-confident and persistent Natalie immediately rejected this offer, saying that she dreams of becoming an actress. The scout, in turn, helped the young beauty find agents who "guided" her into the world of cinema ...

6. Johnny Depp

In his youth, the future star of the world of cinema did not even suspect that he would someday achieve such huge success in the world of cinema. Throughout his youth, Johnny dreamed of developing the art of music and even joined The Kids, dropping out of school at the age of 16. When young Johnny turned 20, he married a make-up artist, who introduced him to Nicolas Cage.

7. Harrison Ford

Unlike many of the heroes from this collection, Harrison Ford dreamed of becoming an actor from the very beginning.

Resigned to the state of things, Harrison got a job as a carpenter. When he was doing work in one of the film studios, he was noticed by director George Lucas, who was just looking for a man for a role in the Star Wars movie. It was on that day that George invited Harrison to audition for the role of Han Solo...

8. David Boreanaz

The actor is best known for starring in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Bones. In fact, no one even thought of David becoming an actor or, even more so, a movie star.

9. Jason Statham

Many fans of Jason Statham know that in his youth he was a very successful athlete, was a member of the British national diving team, and participated in the Olympic Games.

On one of these working days, he was noticed by an agent from Tommy Hilfiger who invited him to star in an advertising campaign for the brand. Around this period, Jason met Guy Ritchie, who noticed his potential in him and offered the role of "Bacon" in the film "Lock, Stock, Two Smoking Barrels."
