Life is sometimes full of surprises and accidents, that’s how we invented the Tatin pie, how we discovered the Loire Atlantique and how I got a job at Topito, a regrettable accident for you I’am aware.

She was coming out of a dance class, she was eating a pizza in a pizzeria (already the tastes of luxury at eleven years old, what a diva) and an agent came to speak to her family to offer her to do some modeling, to which she replied that she preferred to be an actress.

3. Jason Statham was spotted selling fake jewelry
The Jason had a hell of a life before becoming an actor, if he had worked as a model for a while he was mostly on the streets of London selling fake jewelry and contraband items like perfume to make money. ‘silver. As he had a good face and that he was likeable, we introduced him to director Guy Ritchie who was preparing “Scam, crime and botany” and he decided to take Statham to play a dealer in fake jewelry.

After a while the director Larry Clark spotted her and came to ask her if she was interested in acting in a film, which she accepted. At the same time, if she had said no and had not made a career, you can imagine at this stage of the top that she would have nothing to fuck in this list or in that of the actors spotted in the street.
8. Vin Diesel was caught breaking into a theater
When he was seven years old and had already won a bare-knuckle fight against an adult bear from North America, Vin Diesel illegally broke into a theater with some friends to fuck up the mess.

You have already met a producer who made you play in Dazed and confused at a dinner you?
