The majority of us had ideas about what we wanted to do when we grew up that did not align with the careers that we ended up pursuing. And our favorite celebs are no exception. At this point in time, it is difficult for us to see them in any other line of work; but, there was a moment in their lives when they really believed that they would one day be doing something different when they grew up.
When we found out about some of the dreams that famous people had when they were kids, we were likewise shocked. It turns out that several of our favorite artists originally aspired to be whale trainers or funeral directors.
#1. George Clooney’s first career plan was to be that of a baseball player.
#2. Angelina Jolie’s childhood ambition was to work in the funeral business, a funeral director actually.
#3. Miley Cyrus has a dream of being a wedding planner.
#4. Zayn Malik wanted to teach English.
#5. Eva Longoria has a kinesiology degree.
#6. Julia Roberts has said that she would love to work in the field of home economics if she wasn’t an actress.
#7. Priyanka Chopra said that she dreamed to become an engineer if not her successful career in Bollywood and now in Hollywood.
#8. Zendaya wanted to become a teacher.
Because Zendaya’s parents have always been a significant figure in her life and had chosen a career in education for themselves, she always aspired to follow in their footsteps when she was an adult.
#9. The first job Rupert Grint wanted to have was selling ice cream.
#10. When Kerry Washington was little, she dreamed of being a whale trainer.
#11. If Tom Hanks hadn’t become an actor, he planned all along to own a bookshop.
