With all the news that McDonald's is planning to add 50,000 new jobs to the country this year, why not see whose examples you can follow?

The company has employed several people we now know as singers, actors, or successful business people. CBS Moneywatch has this list of celebrities who worked for the fast food chain at one point in their lives before breaking through to their own success.

We dug around to find some more.

Rachel McAdams

By her own admission, McAdams wasn't a great employee.

"I'm not sure why they kept me: I am something of a daydreamer and a dawdler, so they would only let me be the 'friendly voice' that greeted you when you entered the restaurant," she told the Huffington Post.



Fred Durst

Before joining Limp Bizkit, he was working in the morning shift at a McDonald’s restaurant in Florida.



Jeff Bezos

The Amazon founder used to work at McDonald's, and he recently told Fast Company that ”one of the great gifts I got from that job is that I can crack eggs with one hand. My favorite shift was Saturday morning. The first thing I would do is get a big bowl and crack 300 eggs into it.”
