Here are the ten successful actors who had allotted their rough time in the past and progressed to a successful and luxurious living:
SHANIA TWAIN
Growing up in a hostile environment is always a tragic thing, and a similar fate had followed Shania Twain. As a child, she wasn’t alone but grew up with three other siblings in the Timmins region of Ontario.

When she was in her early 20s, Shania met an unfortunate incident where her mother, with her stepfather, had a lethal car accident. To this, Shania began singing in regional resorts to run her siblings’ needs.
Not very late after the siblings were adults and could move out, Shania began experimenting with her singing capability. A handful of authentic agencies had then caught her attention.
Mercury Nashville and Shania soon signed the contract, followed by Shania having the proper platform of showing off her talents to the world.
JIM CARREY
Jim Carrey carries a humorous nature. Anyone who watches Carrey knows how impressive his sense of humor is. Fans assume that his humor kept him going until he was listed with other movie stars from nothing to big fame and success.
As a teen student, Carrey faced lots of financial tensions and was sadly obliged to get out of high school. Since his dad was having issues in compensating for other external bills, the family couldn’t afford his school fees.
Flowing with the situation, Carrey entered into the job of a janitor and a guard. Luck didn’t support Carrey even after this. His family soon had to leave home, after which they shifted to a van.
‘In living color’ opened doors for Carrey, but the struggle to it wasn’t short either. Out of all, the comedy circuit of LA had him struggle the most in the US.
