    Most acclaimed celebritiesBet you dont know everything about your favorite stars!James Cameron was a

    bus driver

    Harrison Ford

    In between bit parts in "American Graffiti," and other films, Harrison Ford earned his living working as a

    carpenter. While working on a doorway in a studio one day, George Lucas asked him to read as a stand-

    in for the role of Han Solo in "Star Wars." He dazzled Lucas so much that he was hired for the role. The

    rest is Hollywood history.

    Emma Stone

    Talk about a convincing teen! When Emma Stone was 14 years old she convinced her parents to relocate

    to Hollywood. "When I was 12 and wanted to be home-schooled so I could do more theater, I made a

    foam board presentation [for my parents] and that worked out," says Emma Stone of her persuasive

    ways. "So a few years later when I wanted to move to L.A., I figured, presentation time again! And it

    worked. I'm very grateful to Power Point."

    Elvis, you are not good at music?

    He may have become the "King of Rock and Roll," but his eighth grade music teacher though he sucked.

    Elvis' teacher told him that he didn't have an "aptitude for singing." Now that's a bad teacher.

    Johnny Depp

    He may be one of the biggest Hollywood stars today, but back in 1991, Johnny Depp was just a hot guy

    in a video. He starred as Eddie in Tom Petty's music video for "Into the Great Wide Open."

    Tom Cruise

    If Cruise had stuck with his first career choice, he and Nicole Kidman never would have happened.

    Because Cruise was almost Father Tom. "I looked at the priesthood and said, This is what Im going to

    do,'" he told Parade Magazine. "I was interested in spirituality, but after a year I decided being a priest

    was not for me."Being a couch killing actor was more up his alley.Harrison Ford

    Calponia harrisonfordi, Pheodole harrisonfordi. No, those aren't the latest wacky celebrity baby names.

    They are however, a species of spiders and ants that are named after the actor.

    Walt Disney

    The creator of the most famous mouse in the world, Mickey Mouse, was himself afraid ... of mice! He

    was okay with ducks and big dogs, however.

    James Cameron

    Everyone starts somewhere! The mastermind behind record breaking movies like "Titanic" and "Avatar"

    is no different. Before he was writing and directing huge Hollywood hits, Cameron was a school bus

    driver!

    Mick Jagger

    The lead singer of the Rolling Stones, almost had a very boring desk job. He studied at the London

    School of Economics to become an accountant before he made it big. Probably comes in handy dealing

    with the 100s of millions of dollars he's now worth.

    2/2

    Brad Pitt

    Brad may be famous for his good looks, but his cute face didn't come in handy for one of his first jobs.

    He used to dress up as the mascot for El Pollo Loco when he was still a struggling actor. Yep, Brad Pitt

    did the crazy chicken.

    Leonardo DiCaprio

    He may be one of the most sought after young actors these days, but he didn't always have such aprofessional demeanor. When Leo was 3 years old, he was fired from "Romper Room" for being

    disruptive.

    Nicolas Cage

    This is one actor who really gets into his roles. While playing Al in "Birdy" (1984) Nic Cage reportedly had

    two of his own teeth pulled when it called for his character to go through that immense pain. That's why

    it was so believable.

    Sean Connery

    James Bond may be ageless, but Sean Connery who played the secret agent in seven films is not. The

    actor started losing his hair at age 21 and reportedly had to wear a toupee every time he played "007."\

    Jennifer LopezMost people know that Jennifer Lopez started off as a Fly Girl in "In Living Color." But betcha didn't

    notice her in Janet Jackson's "That's the Way Love Goes" video.
