The Untold Truth Of Zoe Saldana
James Rogers
We all have to start somewhere, and for Zoe Saldana, it was at the home of the Whopper. Her first job was at Burger King, where she liked working the drive-thru more than the register. But every job has an expiration point. "When I was in my teens, I had a job at Burger King, which I really enjoyed," she once said (via Inquisitr)."Then one day I was in the middle of a transaction and realized I didn't enjoy it any more. I said to the manager there and then, 'Can you finish this?' and quit."
Before she quit her job, Saldana claims she was constantly fired for giving food to homeless people, but she'd get rehired regularly because they were low on staff. "I think I was very empathetic. When homeless people came in, I was always give them food, and I would get caught," she told US Weekly.
According to Yahoo!, Saldana isn't the only celeb who's worked at Burger King. Queen Latifah was an employee at the age of 15, her first job, and Jennifer Hudson also worked at Burger King as a teen. Olivia Munn joins the list, but her BK experience was working the drive-thru in Tokyo, Japan. Meanwhile, Pink, James Franco, Rachel McAdams, Macy Gray, Sharon Stone, and Jay Leno all reportedly worked at rival fast food joint McDonalds before making it big.
