Many stars were not always famous and had normal jobs in their previous lives. Hollywood star Jamie Foxx has sold shoes.
Jamie Foxx has two offbeat jobs in his new film ‘Day Shift’ – the Hollywood star plays a family man who makes a living as a pool cleaner and as a vampire slayer in the Netflix horror comedy. The Oscar winner (“Ray”) is familiar with very different jobs. Before his career as an actor, he sold women’s shoes in a shopping center in Los Angeles, Foxx said in an interview with the German Press Agency. “I was good at it,” says the 54-year-old. He often looked at the feet of women walking by in front of the shop to guess their shoe size.
His “Day Shift” co-star, US actor Dave Franco, got his first job at a small video store when he was 14. Because he was too young to earn money legally, he was paid differently. “I was allowed to take home as many videocassettes as I wanted,” Franco said. “I watched everything and fell in love with movies, but I didn’t make any money from it,” the actor said.
Directed by JJ Perry, “Day Shift” (streaming service August 12) sees the duo hunt vampires in Southern California.
