Hard to believe but some of Hollywood ‘s most famous stars have been homeless . For many of them, becoming actors was the dream that took them away from a life of misery and hardship.
Many sacrifices to achieve fame and success and many of these VIPs have lived like real bums . Penniless but with a lot of hope, these 8 famous stars have had their revenge from life thanks to their stubbornness and fortitude.

The fact of being able to identify with different characters of her pushed her towards a career as an actress.
7) Sylvester Stallone
The very famous Hollywood star even had to sell his dog to eat. In fact, when he was still young and unknown, he said he was forced to trade his dog for $ 40 to get by.

He was asked $ 15,000 by the new owner to get his dog back: “ It was worth every single penny ,” the actor confessed.
