Not every celebrity's way to stardom was hard. Here are the Hollywood celebrities discovered in the most weirdest ways. Bizarre is the word to describe these stars' way to stardom. From streets to bars, they were chosen in the the most strange ways.

We have all heard about celebrities who have shared their stories of endless nights in a rat infested small apartments to surviving on just a loaf of bread for days while trying to land a movie or a show. But, imagine having been chosen for a movie while taking a walk with your mother on the streets?

For instance, the R&B singer Tony Braxton was discovered in a gas station! The singer was at a gas station singing to herself when a producer heard her and asked her to record a demo. And then, she was in no time a superstar performing before millions of fans.

David Boreanaz, the 'Bones' star wouldn't have thought even in his wild dreams that he would be offered a career in acting while walking his dog on a casual sunny day. A talent scout spotted him and changed his life forever.
