Today, September 1, all teachers celebrate their professional holiday - Teacher's Day. And after all, we often do not even realize that celebrities who perform in front of thousands of people star in films, broadcast programs and TV shows, once chose the profession of a teacher. And there is something in this, because the teacher is also a star, a star that guides its students through the sky of life.
Hugh Jackman Famous Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman straight from Sydney went to the UK, where he began teaching English at the prestigious private school in Uppingham. A celebrity colleague, Richard Boston, recalls that young Jackman quickly became accustomed to a new country. But at some point the future actor dawned: an 18-year-old Australian tries to teach English children, for whom this language is native.
"If I paid for this training, I would be very irritated," Jackman once recalled.
Curiously, in 2013 he even found out in one of the reporters on the red carpet of his former student.
Potap Producer and a large part of the duet Potap and Nastya Kamensky, Alexei Potapenko did not always devote his time to writing funny lyrics. On the first education, Potap is a physical education teacher and a water polo coach. It's interesting that when the artist went to work in the school, he became the teacher of another future celebrity - Santa Dimopoulos, and his style of teaching always differed in the ability to put himself in the place of a student.
"I myself Santo Dimopoulos taught to wring out and run long distances! She was in the ninth grade. In working with children, I used only the method of "carrot" - I never yelled or forced to do what they did not want. Himself in shock from such kindness! But six months later I left school. There's enough money you will not earn, but I had many creative plans! "- shared his memories Potap.
Dima Kolyadenko Showman Dima Kolyadenko opened his work record with the record "teacher of the puppet studio". Being a student of the Dnipropetrovsk Theater School, enterprising Dima opened a puppet group in one of the schools of his native city:.
"Scholarship was sorely lacking, but on" teacher's salary "(15 rubles) I bought clothes and drove the girls in a cafe" - told about his past Kolyadenko.
Sting But some of the star teachers immediately felt that the pedagogical path is not for them. So it was with Gordon Sumner, better known as Sting. He worked for a while in Catholic school as an English teacher, but he was difficult to name as a good teacher. In the evenings Gordon played in a jazz band - and for a long time it was his only joy. But this experience has given Sting to realize the most important thing - his main passion is music and he is ready to connect with her all his life.
Stephen King But the "king of horrors" was a pretty good teacher. For two years he taught English at the Academy of Hambdon (Maine, USA). King had to work on several jobs at the same time to earn money to publish his novels. But, despite this, Stephen has always been extremely attentive to his students, carefully read and commented on their work and sincerely tried to help everyone.
Lilia Rebrik Another example of a good teacher - well-known TV presenter Lilia Rebrik.
Few know, but for three years Lilia led plastic classes for young actors at the Karpenko-Kary.

Many of them now work in theaters, and Slava Solomka became the leading, led the "Rise" on the New Channel, "- shared Lilia.
