13. Daniel Craig
Before Daniel Craig became a famed actor and eventually became the legendary James Bond, he had some serious struggles of his own. He grew up rough and ended up sleeping on park benches around London at one point in time as a struggling actor.
Craig started in the theater, but did not get his big break until he was cast opposite of Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider in 2001. Of course, his career really blew up in 2006 when he took over as James Bond for a new generation of movies.
He will never have to sleep on a bench again, but Craig said that these experiences made him stronger and made him want success even more. In 2008, he bought an apartment that costs over 4 million pounds, so he is doing pretty well now and is far from homeless. But he’ll always remember where he came from and what he endured to get here.
