But what people don’t know is that most of these celebrities have hung there for years, with the hope that they will be successful some day. There are many successful celebrities who have come up from poor backgrounds, who were not known to posses extraordinary skills when they were young.

But they all are successful today because of their passion towards their craft, and perseverance over the years. Here are some facts that reveal their background and circumstances, from where they have come and risen to dazzling heights.
