Jennifer Lopez
When Jennifer was only 18, she quarreled with her mother and had to sleep on a sofa in a dance studio. The fight was over Jennifer’s desire to pursue a dance career. Just a few months later, she got a dancing job in Europe. When she returned, she moved to LA as she won a national competition for a dancing spot on the popular TV series In Living Color as one of the “Fly Girls.”
All this happened in a year. Another example of what happens when you choose to pursue your dream despite any odds.
Jim Carrey
When Jim Carrey’s father lost his job and their home, the family moved into a Volkswagen camper van, parking it in different places throughout Canada. When Carrey turned 16, he decided to quit school and start supporting his family through small impressions and stand-up shows.
Carrey once said that it was probably during these difficult financial periods that he developed his sense of humor. Jim Carrey never gave up despite all the odds and challenges, and he made it to the top.
Halle Berry
Oscar Winning actress Halle Berry lived in a homeless shelter when she was 21
In her early 20s, Halle moved to Chicago in pursuit of her acting career. She soon ran out of money, and her mother refused to help her out. Without money or a roof over her head, she found herself in a shelter for the homeless.
Halle admitted that it was a rough and difficult period of her life, but she learned how to take care of herself and take destiny into her hands. From the shelter and bartending to being X-Men’s Storm. What a stormy but incredible journey!
Steve Harvey
Steve Harvey is not just a famous host who wrongly announced the winner of Miss Universe 2016.
He is loved by millions for various daytime TV game shows. But the start of his fame wasn’t that smooth. He started out as a comedian in the late ’80s. A couple of gigs fell through, and splitting from his wife and sending paychecks to his 2 children forced Steve to move into his Ford Tempo.
3 years of living in a car and using hotel bathrooms, swimming pool showers, and gas station bathrooms followed, until finally he was invited to appear on Showtime at the Apollo. His net worth is $140 million, and he owns more than one car. Thankfully, he doesn’t live in one.
Daniel Craig
This strong and elegant James Bond was not always rich and famous. He was once an ordinary waiter, sleeping on a park bench on occasion. Being a struggling actor has nothing to do with romance, just hard work, dedication, and strong belief, and that’s what helped Daniel to make both ends meet and finally reach his dream.
