For a realistic depiction of celebrities in the real world, these [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-england-ipa) memes transform famous actors and actresses into working class professionals. The hilarious pictures put the faces of celebrities onto more plain people and add an average profession title below. While the professions themselves aren't very funny, they become absolutely uproarious when celebrities are the ones doing them.

The photo set includes Johnny Depp as a truck driver, John Travolta as a bartender, Sarah Jessica Parker as a horse breeder, Jennifer Anniston as an executive secretary, Britney Spears as high school biology teacher and finally Tom Cruise as an absolutely nerdy computer scientist. Each shot places the actor, actress or singer into a career that most suits not simply their real-life personality, but moreover the body that their face has been placed onto.
