According to him, fast food not only saved him from the fate of the unemployed, but also gave him invaluable experience. On shifts, James Franco worked on his acting skills and spoke to visitors in different accents. And during lunch breaks, he ate food that was supposed to go to the trash and did not understand at all why parents bring their children to such institutions. After three months of work at McDonald’s, James was invited to appear in an advertisement. It was then that his acting career began.

2. Brad Pitt – Promoter
