One way or another, celebrities existed before electricity was even being supplied to people’s homes. In the earlier years of civilization, actors and musicians would often perform on a stage and entertain their viewers. Well, even after all the improvements made in technology, the job of a celebrity remains the same.
Most of the time, we only see our favorite actors and singers in films, concerts, or anywhere the spotlight shines. However, underneath it all, they’re just like every one of us – people who need to eat, work for a living, and get the proper amounts of sleep. Furthermore, just like us, many of them have an interesting skill set, though they can’t usually showcase them when they’re on the red carpet or in films.
Today, we will be talking about many of Hollywood’s well-known celebrities and their other talents. Some can be as impressive as solving a Rubik’s cube, while others can be a whole new degree of bizarre. Well, one thing’s for sure, it’s somehow relieving to know they can do other things besides acting and singing.
Walken My Lion – Christopher Walken
You may not know his name, but you can undoubtedly recognize his face and signature voice. Over the years, Christopher Walken has become quite the famous actor not just for his performance in films, but also for the way he speaks – at this point, hundreds of celebrities already know how to impersonate him. However, before he had a career under the spotlight, Walken had other jobs to help him pay for his personal loans. Besides being a talented dancer, the actor once worked in a circus group as an apprentice to a lion tamer. Throughout his experience, Walken had the chance to tame an old lion. Although the creature is often considered an aggressive predator, the one he worked with was quite friendly, like a dog.
The Upholsterer – Jack White
Thanks to songs like Seven Nation Army and Over and Over and Over, Jack White has become one famous figure in the music industry. Perhaps one reason behind his celebrity status is because of his commitment and dedication to making a good record – the first two White Stripes albums took only two weeks each to record. However, in the earlier years of his music career, Jack White also tried his hands on other investments. In 1990, White worked in an upholstery workshop as an apprentice. Throughout his time there, the musician would often make music with his colleagues during breaks. Eventually, they would sneak copies of their finished songs in the furniture they were working on. To this day, only one has been found – it was hidden in a sofa. Who knows how many there are left out there.
Flying With The Wind – Angelina Jolie
To some degree, almost everyone has a celebrity crush. In more recent years, one such star that has charmed millions of fans around the world is Angelina Jolie. Throughout her ongoing career in the film industry, the actress has amazed audiences with films like Salt, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and the Tomb Raider movies. Well, who would’ve thought the actress is also just as adventurous in real life as her big-screen personas? Since 2004, Angelina Jolie has been a licensed pilot with her own private plane, the Cirrus SR22. Since she’s also a humanitarian, the vehicle can be very convenient when she wants to engage in charity work across different countries.
A Dog Person – Aaron Paul
Besides films, several talented actors can be found in TV shows. One such example is Aaron Paul, who has since been well-known for his acting credit in the hit series Breaking Bad. Since his breakthrough, Paul has earned the chance to star in other popular films and shows, like Need For Speed, Westworld, BoJack Horseman, and the epilogue to Breaking Bad, El Camino. However, the actor also has another fairly more interesting trick up his sleeve. One time, on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, the host blindfolded the actor and made him guess the gender of each dog they handed to him. To the audience and Kimmel’s surprise, with just a pat on the back, Aaron Paul could guess if it’s a he or a she – all while saying it in classic Jesse Pinkman fashion.
