Celebs may seem like they were born to be famous – can you ever remember a time when Kim Kardashian wasn’t the centre of our lives? No. But it turns out that these famous faces, before they were stars, worked for celebrities that had already made in big.

Because working for unknown people would be so regular babes…

CHECK OUT THE REALITY STARS WHO DARED TO DATE A CIVILIAN...

1. Kim Kardashian: Assistant to Paris Hilton

Whereas Paris Hilton branded Kim her ‘assistant’ before Keeks hit the big time, Kim maintains that she was actually helping her organise her wardrobe, something she did for countless other celebs including Nicole Richie and Brandy. She even popped up on the Simple Life, being bossed about by the heiress. We’re guessing Paris isn’t lolling that much now.

2. Allison Williams: Assistant to Tina Fey

The Girls’ actress’s dad Brian Williams, who is a super famous NBC journalist, helped her nab the job of Tina’s PA on the 2008 film Baby Mama. OMG so jealous.

6. Mary-Kate Olsen: Interned for Annie Leibowitz

In 2005, while her twin interned for Zac Posen, MK took her love of photography and interned for one of the most famous picture-snappers in the world, Annie. The twins had worked with her before because they were on every magazine possible,so we're sure she had no probs getting that job.

7. Bethenny Frankel: Looked after Paris Hilton

Connie loved her so much she said: “"I wanted her to be my nanny so badly and my assistant. She's just such a phenomenal human and I remember having those conversations. She was helping me with my son, who was then just a baby, and then she said, 'I got cast in this show called Scandal.'”

10. Jenna Dewan Tatum: Justin Timberlake’s back-up dancer
