Jack Black reflected on the time when he was not an actor and pushed through one day at a time.
A Minecraft movie star made an embarrassing confession about his life before he came into the limelight.
Sitting with his Anaconda co-stars Paul Rudd on Rotten tomatoesthey interviewed each other, where Paul asked him if he had any jobs before he acted.
“Oh my God, that’s a shameful answer. I’ve never had a job,” Black said.
Black then recalled a job he held briefly: “I was doing a day of telemarketing and I didn’t make a sale, and I thought, ‘I can already see my soul being sucked.’ And I bailed and I made a decision right then and there.”
“It was like, ‘It’s showbiz or bust.’ I’m going all in on acting or music, and if I can’t do that, I’ll just live with my mom,” he said. “I know it just sounds [weird]. I had no plan B, no backup.”
Anaconda stars Black and Rudd alongside Steve Zahn and Thandiwe Newton as a group of amateur filmmakers who travel to the Amazon jungle to reboot the original film.
Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube, who starred in the original 1997 film, also made surprise cameos in the film.
Anaconda now playing in cinemas.
