Few actors or singers want you to know that they were plumbers. Whenever talking about acting, the truth is that the very best people to nail a role are those that have personal experience with it. Any good director would focus on that and would hire based on it. This is why you may want to know about the following celebrities that actually were plumbers at one point in time, based on research done by www.fixitrightplumbing.com.au/plumber-melbourne.
Sir Michael Caine
Sir Michael Caine (Maurice Joseph Micklewhite Jr.) is one of the most popular and respected actors of our times. He received an Oscar nomination during every single decade starting from the sixties and appeared in literally hundreds of movies. You surely know him from The Dark Knight, The Italian Job, and Inception, but there are countless movies that can be mentioned. What he did before being a superstar though makes him perfect for the job.
Sir Michael Caine was a plumber before being an actor and he was quite experienced.
Conor McGregor
At the height of his career, the Notorious One was breaking people’s faces in UFC rings. However, what happened before that was not that glamorous. McGregor was training to be a plumber but he was not able to make the living that he wanted. He then decided to pick up fighting. He would work as a plumber for 12 hours per day and then went to the gym.
While McGregor is not an actor, he does do anything that makes sense from a financial point of view. This means he would be more than willing to act if the price is right and in some roles, he would surely be really good. We reckon that he could definitely be convincing as Damien McEvoy Plumbing, an expert in all sorts of plumbing.
Ozzy Osbourne
Before becoming one of the biggest rock stars in the world, Ozzy was a plumber. He did many odd jobs, which is not a surprise because of the fact that he quit school at the tender age of 15. For the superstar, he went through tough years doing work as a laborer. He was present on many construction sites and was a plumber’s apprentice.
It was only after Osbourne was convicted that he found his future bandmates. Eventually, after some failed attempts, the powerhouse that is Black Sabbath was born. Now, since he did not have a problem with reality shows, he could play a very funny plumber.
Bob Hoskins
Hoskins started acting during the early seventies with smaller roles. Eventually, Bob received the British Film Awards, nominations for BAFTA, and got larger roles. Before all this, he was a plumber but his career will be remembered for roles like Eddie Valliant in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. He even got a Golden Globe nomination for that.
Any of the celebrities mentioned above would be a treat to see as a plumber in an acting role. However, there is a very low possibility of seeing this happen. In the future, as directors become more interested in authenticity, it is a certainty that we will see some plumbers turn to acting.
