8470 -25 Celebrities Who Would Not Tell Us About Their Side Hustles

Whenever we see a celebrity on the news, we cannot help but wonder just how much money he/she had amassed. Some of you might be surprised to find that some celebs actually made a fortune in other industries and this may or may not be their primary jobs.

While most celebs are OK with their full-time jobs, some do attempt to expand their portfolio with at least one side business. Surprisingly enough, celebs having side businesses only became a thing from the beginning of the 21st century. This may not come as a surprise for people who follow their celebrities on a daily basis. As for the reason why they do it, several reasons come to mind such as having an additional source of income, keeping themselves occupied, or broadening their life experiences.

Not all celebs will talk about their side jobs though. This list features 25 celebrities who will not speak of their side hustles, even when the cat is already out of the bag. Let us see what else they have been doing.

9123 -10 Famous People Who Choose To Live Quiet And Humble Lives When They Leave The Spotlights

When people achieve a certain degree of success, you almost expect them to change. With so much money and attention, it’s easy to fall into the pitfalls of arrogance and obnoxiousness. However, while there are lots of stuck-up celebs, there are also those who haven’t let fame go to their heads.

“Wealth and success don’t make you happy,” Leonardo DiCaprio once said. Perhaps as a result of this way of thinking, many people who work in the entertainment industry maintain a low-key lifestyle after their workday is done.

These people have succeeded in remaining grounded in an industry that tries to force them otherwise. They really understand what is truly important in life, whether it be giving money to charity, spending time with fans, or just being a good person. Millions of people from all over the world now love and appreciate them as a result. Here are 10 famous people who, when not in the spotlight, choose to lead quiet, modest lives.

#1 Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie is a famous actress, yet she understands the importance of being modest. Her daughters are supposed to be careful with money and to wear her gowns on the red carpet. You can see her doing normal things like grocery shopping with her kids occasionally.

#2 Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz is an excellent example of a celebrity who is also a normal citizen. Her Instagram feed is filled with daily activities that we all do – cooking, socializing, and shopping. Nothing extravagant, just normal happy life.

#3 Halle Berry

Halle Berry is another celebrity who loves to live a simple life. She’s occasionally seen doing grocery shopping sans makeup and looking like an ordinary person.

Halle practices self-care and fitness to live a healthy lifestyle and inspire other women to do the same: “I got diagnosed with diabetes and I quickly learned that I could control my diabetes and live a longer, healthier life if I exercised regularly, changed my diet, and did some things in my life that are called de-stressors.”

#4 Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber chose to prioritize his family life over his career. “I am now very focused on repairing some of the deep-rooted issues that I have as most of us have so that I don’t fall apart so that I can sustain my marriage and be the father I want to be,” he wrote in an Instagram post. He tries to keep his promise and spends a lot of time with Hailey.

#5 Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton can fit as a royal role model for many young girls.  Despite her high status, she lives a normal life. Kate will even buy a dress from Zara and wear it several times. She was also found flying in economy class. For example, she and her children were seen coming off a £73 economy flight to Scotland.

#6 Leonardo DiCaprio

From 2010 to 2016, Leonardo DiCaprio was on Forbes’ annual list of highest-paid actors. He seems to be able to buy gold toilets and a new mansion every month. Instead, he opts for a normal life. For example, he was seen giving instructions to a lost tourist on a rainy day in Manhattan.

Furthermore, DiCaprio understands the needs of the poor and gives his money to the world. His foundation will donate $3 million to Australia’s bushfire recovery efforts in 2020.

#7 Mariah Carey

Commuting by subway is something that all of us who have to go to work or school do daily. But singer Mariah Carey thought there was no reason for her not to participate as well. She also took the subway since she wanted to be a part of this experience. But, of course, she did it her way, always looking dazzling and dressed as if she were preparing to perform. Yes, she took the subway in a gala gown in New York City, and she even captured the moment with a humorous story that she then posted on Instagram.

#8 Reese Witherspoon

Despite her amazingly successful career, the lead actress of Legally Blonde (2001) may easily demonstrate that she is a normal caring mother. She used to take her children, Ava and Deacon, to the park and babysit them while they played on the playground, just like any other non-celebrity mom. They’d then have a picnic and a couple of delicious slices of pizza.

#9 Shailene Woodley

Shailene Woodley is a famous actress, environmentalist, and climate advocate. Her mother and she co-founded a non-profit organization that teaches young people empathy, compassion, and responsibility.

Woodley stays grounded and unspoiled. “I go outside whether I’m in the city or backwoods of any state. I connect with the ground, the trees, just breathing fresh air while I go for a walk and I find myself living in my heart instead of in my mind,”  she says. Woodley prefers natural products and makeup and tries to live a natural life.

#10 Tobey Maguire

8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or CGI Remakes

Published

on

9114 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi Remakes

We all are familiar with the live-action adaptation or CGI remakes of many Disney cartoons. Some notable names are Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland, and the list goes on. Many animated films have regained the heat after the live-action or CGI versions hit theaters. Some mediocre cartoons even have a chance to reach the top rank if the remakes are successful. Of course, besides Disney productions, cartoons from other studios are also considered to be put on the big screen, and here are 8 of them.

Scroll down to see if your favorite one has its name on the list!

#1 The Last Unicorn (1982)

Live Action Animation 3 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi RemakesSource: Amazon Prime Video

Topcraft’s animation is the journey of the last eternal unicorn to find other members of her kind. The team of the unicorn, a bumbling magician, and a bandit’s wife sets off on a fascinating adventure and faces many dangers. On the way, the legendary creature learns many precious lessons about love and regret.

A weak point in the original version is the stiff and awkward character designs. However, it lays a strong foundation for a CGI mixed live-action remake.

#2 The Adventures of Mark Twain (1985)

Live Action Animation 4 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi RemakesSource: Peacock

Will Vinton introduced the enthralling works of the father of American literature to children through this stop-motion animation. The audience would follow Tom Sawyer and his friend to discover Mark Twain’s airship. They explored the place while watching and listening to Twain’s stories before they realized the ship was heading into Halley’s Comet.

As stop-motion has many limits, the film’s CGI remake seems to promise a much better version. The lively animation associated with the famous writer’s absorbing stories will make it a top-notch movie.

#3 Perfect Blue (1997)

Live Action Animation 8 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi RemakesSource: AMC+

Perfect Blue revolved around Mima Kirigoe, a J-pop idol-turned-actor. Mima intends to stick to her acting career, but a menace of a mysterious stalker and a series of peculiar murders around her mess up her plan.

This adult animated film could become a fascinating psychological thriller with an ideal cast as Mima and the right level of visual effects.

#4 We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story (1993)

Live Action Animation 6 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi RemakesSource: Apple TV

With the time machine, a scientist decides to gift the children of the 20th century in New York City with sentimental dinosaurs brought from their natural habitats. 

We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story could be turned into a lovely live-action CGI hybrid film. Cinematic dinosaurs can’t be more real, and this lighthearted script will make dinosaurs’ images much better, at least compared to Jurassic Park. After all, people should be reminded that dinosaurs are more than monsters.

#5 Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland (1989)

Live Action Animation 5 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi RemakesSource: Amazon Prime Video

Little Nemo is upset since his parents are too busy to take him to the circus. That night, he meets members of the circus in his dream, and they introduce him to King Morpheus, ruler of Slumberland. When Nemo sees the king, he was offered an opportunity to rule the kingdom and protect it from the Nightmare King.

A dreamland like Slumberland is a perfect place for creativity, and innovative animators know how to make the best use of it. Looking at similar movies like Inside Out and Soul will make you certain about the success of this film’s CGI remake.

#6 Animal Farm (1954)

Live Action Animation 1 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi RemakesSource: imdb.com

The animated movie Animal Farm was adapted from George Orwell’s famous novel of the same name. The story is about an animal farm that represents the rise of the Soviet Union. Under the Old Major the boar’s leadership, the animals of Manor Farm chase away the farmer to gain independence. However, the utopia turns out a nightmare for the animals under the dominance of Major’s successors.

Andy Serkis is the director of the latest animated adaptation of the story. His talent combined with the assistance of CGI technology will likely guarantee a first-rate adaptation movie.

#7 Wizards (1977)

Written by Ralph Bakshi, the movie feature the fight between two wizard brothers over the governance of a post-apocalyptic Earth. The malicious brother, Blackwolf, uses a projector with Nazi propaganda to provoke his troop. To stop his evil plan, Avatar, his brother, with some weird companions decide to confront him.

The action flick doesn’t leave much impression on the viewers due to its old-fashioned and cheap-looking animation. The battle could be more exciting and absorbing with more detailed character designs in the CGI remake.

#8 Cats Don’t Dance (1997)

Live Action Animation 7 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi RemakesSource: Apple TV

The young cat Danny is ambitious about becoming a renowned Hollywood actor. However, he gradually realized that animal actors only play cameo roles while humans take charge of all the main parts. Instead of giving up, he and his fellow actors are determined to prove their capability and get what they deserve.

Though the animation Cats Don’t Dance failed hard, the meaningful premise should be brought back to the screen. Having been successful with Space Jam: A New Legacy, Warner Brothers can definitely handle a new version with CGI models of Cats Don’t Dance.

But what about ambitious directors who can’t afford to make a film about your favorite superhero or cast any big-name actors? The independent market is for directors with a limited budget. Low investment, low return.

However, there are certain exceptions: when a low-budget film outperforms expectations. This unusual event can launch unknown actors to stardom and first-time directors to legends. You may be familiar with some breakout independent films, but you’d be shocked how many of your favorite films had a far lower budget than you expected.

To clarify, this list isn’t rated only by the lowest budget, but rather by how successful the films were given the budget they had to deal with. So, without further ado, here are 12 low-budget films that went on to become box office hits.

#1 A Nightmare on Elm Street
