Chris Pratt
When he was in high school, actor Chris Pratt had no idea what he wanted to do when he grows up, but he knew he would be famous and make a lot of money. That’s what he told his wrestling coach when asked what he wanted to be when he graduates. Pratt achieved this dream – or prophecy – and we’re left to wonder whether or not his high school wrestling coach remembers this conversation.
Although he was a promising wrestler, he never pursued this path professionally. Pratt found himself living in Hawaii and working as a discount ticket salesman and a stripper, trying to make ends meet. Eventually, he ended up homeless, living in his truck. He later said that if you’re going to be homeless, Hawaii is the best place for that. Still in Hawaii, Pratt was waiting tables at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company when actress and director Rae Dawn Chong discovered him and offered him his first acting job.
