5 celebrities you didn’t know once were strippers

There’s nothing wrong about working as a stripper. Since Lady Gaga confessed she once started her career as a dancer in New York clubs, stripping now must be even more popular with all those girls who want to become famous some day.

However, there are celebrities we can hardly imagine pole-dancing, right?

Here are 5 celebrities you didn’t know once were strippers

Catherine Zeta-Jones

Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones started her way to stardom as a stripper. She danced before starting her career as an actress. In one of her interviews Catherine allegedly confessed that all the money she’d earned working as a dancer she spent on rhinoplasty and then quit stripping to focus on acting.

Brad Pitt

One of Hollywood’s hottest actors of all time, Brad Pitt used to strip dance while studying at the University of Missouri. Pitt was part of a nudey dance group called Dancing Bares. Their strip dance group would entertain girls from one of the sister sororities on their 21st birthday celebrations by dancing for them “butt-naked with pillowcases on their heads.”

Javier Bardem

Penelope Cruz’ husband and new farther Javier Bardem once confessed to Marie Claire about his one-night only experience as a stripper. The crazy thing about his performance was that his mom and sister were in the club and they were watching!

It was a disaster. And you know who was there watching? My mum and my sister! It was kind of a thing-you go there and dance, they pay you some money,” Javier told the magazine.

Diablo Cody

Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer’s Body) once spent a year working as a dancer in a strip-club. During that year Diablo chronicled her experience in the blog that was later turned into a book (Candy Girl: A Year In The Life Of An Unlikely Stripper).

I’m a textbook adrenaline junkie. I was at a place in my life where I felt underestimated. I just figured I would rather do something reckless than spend the rest of my life in a vanilla prison,” Diablo Cody explained.

Octomom

Nadya Suleman, better known as Octomom, once said she worked as a stripper, even if only for one night. She danced under the name Angelina, obviously exploiting her far-fetched resemblance to Angelina Jolie.

Think that’s it? There are more celebrities with stripper past!

   Need a bit of advice here.. I met a girl who works part-time as a dancer at a strip club and I think she’s not only attractive, but smart and fun to talk to….do you think it’s possible to have a relationship with a strip club dancer, or is this a horrible idea?
