What George Clooney did before becoming an actor

Have you ever wondered what sort of jobs famous Hollywood actors had before they made it?

George Clooney was quite a favourite choice in the office because we could relate to him…other than the famous part obviously.

The silver fox was actually following his father’s footsteps and was working as a journalist.

After finishing high school, Clooney enrolled in Northern Kentucky University, where he majored in broadcast journalism.

Other than aspiring to follow in his father’s footsteps, Clooney would also discuss world events at family dinners and as a child following his dad around the newsroom before getting into social activism.

Clooney, however, got tired of being constantly compared to his father and was also unsure of whether he would be a decent journalist.

So he quit school and had to figure out what to do from there. 

He went on to try out for professional baseball for the Cincinnati Red team but he was not skilled enough. 

Clooney did a few odd jobs here and there before finally falling into acting when he was cast as an extra on his cousin and uncle’s film.

From there, Clooney was intrigued and even moved to California to become an actor. 

And now look at him today. A Hollywood heartthrob.
