Chris Pratt

The dude from "Guardians of the Galaxy" did not dream of any career at all in his 19 years. He was literally homeless when he was first called to shoot.

After this experience, Chris abandoned the nomadic lifestyle and managed to achieve success in cinema.

Danny Trejo

The film "The Runaway Train" by Andrei Konchalovsky became the cinematic debut of Treho quite by chance. The director noticed the former American criminal on the set, where he came to support his ward, a drug addict, ready to break. At first, Dani was offered to take the place of a "convict" in the crowd, and then they were promoted to the role of a boxer altogether. Since that time, Trejo's acting career has gone up the hill.

Rosario Dawson

The star of Sin City never dreamed of acting in a movie, and even when she got the chance, she refused it for a long time. Sitting on the threshold of her house, 16-year-old Rosario took a fancy to a Hollywood director who was looking for actors in the picture "Kids". The girl was offered cooperation. She rejected it several times, and when she agreed, she became famous.

Charlize Theron

Since childhood, Charlize dreamed of a career as a dancer, but at a young age she was injured, because of which she was forced to leave ballet for the modeling business.

Agent John Crossby saw the dramatic scene and decided to promote Theron in Hollywood. So began her path to the Oscar.

Vera Glagoleva

As a young girl, Vera Glagoleva dreamed of building a sports career, but suddenly became an actress. When she came to Mosfilm to visit a friend who worked there, she was noticed by the cameraman of the movie "To the End of the World...". He suggested that Vera just play along with another actor, and as a result she got the main role in the film.

Johnny Depp

John got his first job in the cinema, in those days when he really dreamed of a career as a musician. He came to the film casting for the company of a friend, took part in it and unexpectedly got a role in "Kashmar on Elm Street". After that, other movie offers began to pour in on Depp.

Natalie Portman

Fame came to Natalie Portman at the age of 11 and also completely by accident.

The girl did not want to be a model, but declared her desire to act in a movie. That's how she got to audition at Leon.

Oksana Akinshina

Akinshina also found herself in show business at school age. 13-year-old Oksana was sent to audition for the film "Sisters" together with other peers by teachers of the modeling school. Of the 300 applicants for the main role, director Bodrov liked her, although until that time the girl was not going to be an actress at all.

Mel Gibson

They say that Mel Gibson became famous in Hollywood after he brought a friend to the casting of the movie "Mad Max". The staff of the film set could not pass by a photogenic guy with abrasions on his face, which he received in a drunken drakenakanun. Gibson was offered to play the villain, and then was given the main role.

Harrison Ford

Harrison, unlike other successfully famous guys, went to his movie dream for a long time. After several unsuccessful attempts, he gave up the idea of becoming an actor and stayed working in Hollywood as a simple carpenter.
