11 Majorly Successful Stars Who Had Tough Childhoods

11. Jim Carrey

Award winning funny-man Jim Carrey grew up dirt-poor in Ontario, Canada. Carrey, the youngest of four children, says that when his father lost his job the family went from middle-class to poor. They began living out of the families’ VW van. When Carrey was only 15, he quit school to get a job as a janitor to support the family. He never finished school because he also helped look after his mother who suffered from a severe, chronic illness. Carrey got his big break in the early 80s on The Duck Factory. Carrey went on to land a number of television and film roles to become one of the most successful comedic actors of all time.
