40 Celebrities Reveal the First Jobs They Ever Had

Your first job is supposed to be a little unglamorous—even if you're a future megastar celebrity. Whether you're taking orders at a fast food restaurant (or mastering the art of a Subway sandwich like Margot Robbie) or helping out at the family business (like future royal Kate Middleton), you learn those skills like the importance of showing up on time, how to take direction from a boss, and maybe what not to say to a customer (hi, Nicki Minaj) at your first 9-to-5.

Many on this list look back at their first job fondly but are understandably glad that they've moved on from washing dishes at a restaurant or scooping ice cream during the summer. Others have had show business in their blood from day one, getting paid to sing or dance or pick up after their dad's concerts (looking at you, Miley Cyrus) when they were still young. And a couple still maintain their first jobs were the best jobs they ever had.

But regardless of how these superstars got their start, things worked out for all of them in the end. Here, 40 celebrities reveal the first jobs they ever had.
