JOY BRYANT
The truth is that Joy Bryant did not expect to be a famous Hollywood star. She started to model after she was discovered by a scout while she was studying. It gave her more gigs that let her pay the bills and more. She scored print modeling gigs for Playboy, InStyle, and Vanity Fair. In 2001, she went into acting just as her modeling career was taking off. She debuted in a Robert Townsend film called Carmen: A Hip Hopera. She was also in Antwone Fisher, which was a great career move as it opened even more doors for her. She has since launched her own business in the form of a production company called Hot sauce. The star co-founded it with her friend Samantha Taylor Pickett.
MARK WAHLBERG
This Hollywood actor has a lot of talents under his belt. Acting aside, Mark Wahlberg has also worked as a rapper and producer over the course of his career. You might not have known that he was a model before anything else. In 1992, he first put his good looks as a model for Calvin Klein ads. He also scored gigs with various magazines and brands, even getting the chance to work with Kate Moss. Things changed when he started to venture into acting and music. In the early ‘90s, he released a pair of albums called “You Gotta Believe” and “Music for the People.” At last, he made his acting debut in a movie called Renaissance Man. The rest is history. He is now an A-list actor who has also dabbled in the world of business as a restaurateur.
