Kirstie Alley, Jared Padalecki and more celebs join the internet in listing 5 jobs they've had
Never underestimate the power of the internet to amuse, especially as people pass the time during the coronavirus pandemic. This week, celebrities including Kirstie Alley, Jared Padalecki and The Bachelor alum Colton Underwood joined the many sharing a list of five jobs they’d worked in their life.
And speaking of The Bachelor, the outlandish occupations that contestants often have on that show would fit right in here. Consider Cheers alum Alley was once a dandelion picker. Jane Lynch, perhaps known to audiences for playing Sue Sylvester on Glee, was both a fitting room number-hander and a triplicate separator, while Supernatural star Padalecki counted the professions of his many TV and movie characters, hence his stint as “Satan’s Vessel.”
