Jamie Foxx has two offbeat jobs in his new film »Day Shift« – the Hollywood star plays a family man who earns his living as a pool cleaner and as a vampire slayer in the Netflix horror comedy.
The Oscar winner (»Ray«) is familiar with very different jobs.
Before his career as an actor, he sold women's shoes in a shopping center in Los Angeles, Foxx told the dpa news agency.
"I was good at it," said the 54-year-old.
He often looked at the feet of women walking by in front of the shop to guess their shoe size.
According to his co-star in »Day Shift«, US actor Dave Franco, had his first job experience at the age of 14 in a small video store.
Because he was too young to earn money legally, he was paid differently.
"I was allowed to take home as many videocassettes as I wanted," Franco said.
"I watched everything and fell in love with films, but I didn't make any money from it."
