Being famous might seem like something that would be achieved only by dedicated work and over a long period of time. While that is the case for many celebrities out there, it’s not necessarily true for all of them. In fact, there are many celebrities who are now famous and it happened to them at random. Even by accident! Instead of trying and trying to make a name for themselves over a matter of years, they just so happened to run into an agent that was searching for someone like them for a movie or TV show. After that, things were smooth sailing for these celebs.
Charlize Theron
When she was only 18, Charlize Theron moved to Hollywood and lived in a hotel room. She was using the shrinking savings she earned while modeling in New York City and got some help from her mother. All her meetings with agents on Hollywood Boulevard didn’t lead to anything. However, one day, she was trying to cash a $500 check from her mother. The bank teller refused. The two then got into a screaming match. Eventually, a kind man approached and offered to help. Well, that man turned out to be the talent agent John Crosby. He offered to represent Theron and even sent her to acting classes. She landed her first role that same year.

Jennifer Lawrence
It’s quite difficult to believe that Jennifer Lawrence is only 25 years old seeing as she’s already won an Oscar. Well, it turns out that Jennifer was discovered accidentally. She was vacationing in New York City with her family at 14-years-old when she was spotted by a talent agent. Overnight, the agent turned her into a successful teen model and she even made her TV debut on the TV series, Monk, in 2006.
