10 Daniel Craig
At one point in time, Daniel Craig ended up becoming homeless. When he was 16 years old, Craig acted in school plays. His mother noticed he took a liking to the theatre and his mom started going to his performances. He enrolled in the Everyman’s Theater in Liverpool. Around this same time, he dropped out of school and joined the National Youth Theater. He relocated to London where he could concentrate more on his acting. In order to pay for his training and upkeep, he worked part-time in restaurants. Later on, he joined the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He graduated in 1991. After graduating from the National Youth Theater, Daniel Craig didn’t find a secure acting gig. Supporting himself financially became a critical challenge and this is when he ended up being homeless sleeping on the park benches in London. Daniel landed his first on-screen role in The Power of One, in 1992. He then picked up small gigs and then caught the eye of a casting agent where he played a major role in the James Bond movies.
9 Jennifer Lopez
When we see Jennifer wearing a mink jacket and patent-leather stilettos similar to the ones she put on for W’s Fall Fashion Preview, people can gain inspiration from her misfortunate background. At the age of 18, Jennifer moved out of her Bronx home, determined to be a star. Jennifer told the press that she had quarrels with her mom. She goes on to say, “My mom and I butted heads. I did not want to go to college. I wanted to try making a living as a full-time dancer. I was homeless.” She spent the nights sleeping in a small folding bed in her dance studio. It took a little bit of time, then Lopez’s career finally took off. After ten months of pounding the pavement, she received work as a Fly Girl on In Living Color. From that period on, Jennifer has become a movie star, a fashion entrepreneur and became a multi-platinum album singer. Lopez always gives her five-year-old twins Emme and Max encouragement and always tells them that they can accomplish anything if they put their minds to it. Lopez wants to bring them up so they will not have the same struggle she did.
