There are many famous people around the world. Many of them are people we look up to and admire. Well, you may not know that there are many of them that were discovered out of the blue. What if they would have not been there at that exact time? Exact moment? Exact place? Well, you wouldn’t even know their names and you even may have been friends with someone that in the future was discovered by first impression. Here are some examples:
The 14-year-old Kate Moss was returning from a vacation in the Bahamas in 1988 when a top modeling agent discovered her at JFK Airport. She soon became the face of the '90s movement.

While working a very unglam (unglamorous) summer job, Cindy Crawford was spotted by a newspaper photographer, who took a picture of her and told her she could make it as a model. After being in Elite's Look of the Year contest at age 17, she found an agent and started her modeling career.
The Jonas Brothers mother was getting a haircut when someone in the salon heard six-year-old Nick singing and told him he was a manager. He was starring in Broadway shows only a year later, and eventually landed himself and his brothers a recording gig.
Since Justin Bieber is such a mega-star, many people don’t realize that he got his start in Ontario, Canada, by uploading videos to YouTube of himself performing R&B songs. Seven months and ten thousand views later, Bieber attracted the attention of his future manager, Scooter Braun, who got him his first record deal. At age 13, Bieber signed a contract with R&B singer Usher’s label, and to date, Bieber has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide.
Norma Jeane Mortenson never even thought about being famous. Instead, she worked at a munitions plant, where she inspected parachutes and sprayed airplanes to make them fire retardant. While she was working one day, a photographer for Yank magazine took a picture of Monroe to put in the magazine. He came back and told her that she was stunning and had the potential to act or model. It was only then that Monroe decided to take acting classes and dye her hair blond.
