Five celebrities who used to be strippers
It turns out that Cardi B. wasn’t the only one stripping for a living before fame. There were stars who stripped for a living that we never expected.
Channing Tatum
Actor Channing Tatum never really hid his “stripper” past. In 1999, when he was 19, he really performed at the pole under the pseudonym of Chen Crawford. The actor admitted that this profession has quite a few dark sides, but he does not regret his experience, because that is what eventually made him famous. Perhaps the most successful Tatum’s project “Super Mike” was based precisely on his experience as a stripper.
Lady Gaga
Now Lady Gaga is shining on the red carpets and winning Oscars and Grammys, but once upon a time she also started out as a stripper. The singer said that when she was young she had to somehow earn a living and working as a waitress did not bring a good income. Then she had to get a job in one of the striptease clubs in New York. But Gaga said she never went too far and never stripped completely naked! But at her concerts the singer bravely uses the experience she gained in her youth and changes her clothes right on stage.
Chris Pratt
Whoever we didn’t expect to hear about his stripper past, it’s Chris Pratt. The actor has never technically worked as a stripper, he has danced for money a few times, but he never got a job at any club. Once he even decided to audition, but he was intimidated at the last minute by the prospect of working in such a place for life.
Catherine Zeta-Jones
British actress Catherine Zeta-Jones also once danced at the pole. The reason for choosing such a job was very simple – the girl did not have enough money for rhinoplasty! Then the career of the actress began to climb uphill, and she began to get naked on the screen.
Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt was not only a dancer. In an interview he told how he moonlighted as a driver for a whole group of strippers. He drove to the venue, helped collect money from the audience, and even caught their clothes. While attending the University of Missouri, he himself also danced striptease as part of The Dancing Bares, but they only performed their dances as a gift to girls who were turning 21. Then he used his skills in many movies, where without any embarrassment he quietly filmed naked.
