Who were the sexiest men on the planet before stardom: top 10 shocking careers

The sexiest men on the planet are usually recognized as media figures: actors, singers, fashion models, etc. However, most of them started out in simple professions unrelated to show business, Hollywood, and world tours.

Few people know about these facts from the biographies of famous men, because they didn't have crowds of fans back then. People editors told us how the stars who are admired by millions today earned their living many years ago (to see the photo, scroll to the bottom of the page).

Patrick Dempsey

The sexiest man in 2023, 57-year-old Patrick Dempsey, was a popular circus performer in his youth. In exchange for housework, one of Dempsey's friends taught him how to juggle and ride a unicycle at the same time, and at the 34th International Jugglers Convention, the actor and race car driver took second place in the junior competition.

Paul Rudd

The lead actor in the Marvel superhero movie Ant-Man was named the sexiest man alive in 2021. Before his movie career, he worked many jobs, but the most shocking for his fans was as a ham producer at The Holiday Ham Company in Kansas City.

Chris Hemsworth

At the age of 14, the Thor actor, who became the sexiest man alive in 2014, cleaned breast pumps and was responsible for their repair.

Matthew McConaughey

The actor and screenwriter has not only a People award under his belt, but also a "career" as an armadillo trapper. Many years ago, he was hired to get rid of annoying animals that were damaging golf courses.

Idris Elba

According to the magazine, British Idris Elba became the sexiest man of 2018. In addition to being a nightclub bouncer, tire fitter, and DJ, he admitted to selling marijuana.

John Legend

The 2019 winner of the aforementioned title, John Legend, did not always earn his living by singing. In his early years, he developed in the field of consulting and helped clients build their businesses.

Hugh Jackman

The Wolverine actor has an unpleasant experience as a clown. Usually he entertained very young children, but once he decided to greet an 8-year-old boy. The schoolboy called Jackman "crap" and pelted him with eggs along with his friends.

Denzel Washington

The famous actor, who was named the sexiest back in 1996, worked in the sanitation department at the age of 20 as a garbage collector. Later, the star recalled that he had never done anything so exhausting.

Channing Tatum

The American actor owes his work as a stripper to his career as a movie star. Tatum got his first role because he was able to move smoothly and looked attractive, but he doesn't want to go back to stripping for money.

Brad Pitt

The sexiest man of 2000 has a similar story. In his youth, Brad Pitt used to drive strippers around in a limousine, catch their clothes, collect money, and protect them. One day, a client advised him to take acting classes, which eventually helped the young handsome man star in the movies Troy and Meet Joe Black.
