5. Jeremy Irons, Social Worker

In his job as a social worker, Jeremy Irons did lots of different jobs — visiting the elderly, helping the homeless, etc.

The oddest part, though, is that Irons ran the youth group, given how many children he’s probably scared over the years as the voice of Scar in The Lion King.

4. Tom Cruise, Seminary Student

This is really odd considering Tom Cruise is one of the most prominent members of Scientology.

FYI, scientology has been declared a legitimate religion.

3. Whoopi Goldberg, Bricklayer

Goldberg has always been hardcore. The direction her career has taken is one of the most unconventional ones. Even in her pre-fame days, her job of choice was unusual – bricklayer.

Damn, Goldberg must have been one physically strong woman!

2. Danny DeVito, Hairdresser

We know that DeVito isn’t actually like his It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia character Frank Reynolds but his pre-fame job was just as weird as ever for someone like him – hairdresser.

You think he would still cut hair? I mean, just for the fun of it.
