Every day, we walk past people on the streets without knowing anything about them. But you never really know what value or talent could be concealed behind the grubby faced facade of the every day person.
The following
celebrities have all experienced homelessness at some point in their lives:
1.
Jim Carrey has lived out of a VW van in various locations across Canada with his older brother
John Carrey, older sister
Rita Carrey, and parents. He has also camped in a tent with his family in the backyard of the home of his older married sister.
2.
Rose McGowan was quoted in Interview Magazine as saying
“I was homeless for a year. I teamed up with this other girl - I met her the first day I was on the streets - and we roamed all over Oregon and Washington.”3.
Hillary Swank said that when she was 15 years old her and her mom packed up their Oldsmobile Delta 88 and, with just $75 headed to Los Angeles. They lived in the car until a friend gave them a place to stay. (Swank’s mom used a pay phone to book her daughter for auditions).
