celebrities who worked at McDonald’s

James Franco

James Franco also had nothing but good things to say about his time working the drive-thru late shift. The "Freaks and Geeks" and "Pineapple Express" star got a job at McDonald's to help support himself while he studied acting early in his career. "All I know is that when I needed McDonald's, McDonald's was there for me. When no one else was," Franco said in an article he wrote for The Washington Post. "Someone asked me if I was too good to work at McDonald's. Because I was following my acting dream despite all the pressure not to, I was definitely not too good to work at McDonald's. I went to the nearest Mickey D's and was hired the same day."
