Celebrities Who Have Truly Bizarre Side Jobs
It may seem like celebrities have sources of income that never run dry, but actors and musicians usually hold more than one job at a time to make a living.
Some of these celebrities have even used their entertainment profits to start other businesses that have earned them more riches than they started with!
Nick Offerman – Woodworker
For anyone who has seen his “Parks and Recreation” character Ron Swanson, it may seem obvious that in real life Offerman is adept at building.
His woodworking hobby quickly turned into a business after “Parks and Recreation” premiered and now his Offerman Wood Shop offers many products and employs a small team to help sell the handcrafted items.
Tom Selleck – Avocado Farmer
When Tom Selleck isn’t on set, he is often fixing roads and cleaning brush at his home avocado farm, which is located on over 60 acres of land. But surprisingly, Selleck doesn’t even care for avocados. “I don’t eat ‘em,” he told People magazine.
“Honestly, they make me gag.”
Jeremy Renner – House Flipper
Renner continues to fall back on a hobby he started doing while he was still trying to launch his acting career.
Renner dabbles in real estate as a house flipper and he likes to think it helps keeps him grounded, saying, “You have a meeting and then you go to a red carpet and between all these things, I’m going to pick out tiles.”
Willie Nelson – Biofuel Manufacturer
Musician Willie Nelson used his love of environmentally safe products to produce his own brand of biofuel, named BioWillie. The fuel is made of soybean and other vegetable oils and is produced in the United States. Nelson now uses the mix to fuel all of his tour buses when he is performing.
