Is it possible to imagine that the beauty Nadine Velazquez, a famous actress and model, stood behind the checkout counter at McDonald's for several years and served those who wanted to eat? However, the fact remains: the actor's path is not always strewn with rose petals, but difficulties temper the character.
And, as you know from the biographies of many actors, not everyone came to their profession from theater or acting schools - many worked at different jobs before taking their place in the starry sky of cinema.
