In years past, people had to work hard and hard to achieve fame. Today, with a fortunate combination of circumstances, it is enough to be in the right place at the right time or to shoot a short video and post it on the Internet. Modern "heroes" sometimes become famous quickly and do not make much effort for this.
Famous for photographers
Dutch builder Niki Liebert, Ashad Khan, a tea seller from Pakistan, and a cook from Turkey, Nusret Goekce, were unaware of their happiness when they allowed themselves to be photographed by strangers. The users liked the photos and videos posted on the network so much that they gained viral popularity (especially the shots in which Nusret brutally salt meat). The result is wild popularity and a very successful career. A smiling Nicky just a few days later received an offer from a fashion agency, the blue-eyed Pakistani became a movie star, and the chef gained so many subscribers to his account that he instantly managed to promote his own restaurant.
Stars and their muses
Justin Bieber amazed his fans a few years ago with a real romantic adventure. The singer saw on Twitter a snapshot of a girl who delighted him, but there was no name or coordinates of the beauty in the photo. The enamored musician turned to the fans: “Find her for me!”, And, of course, soon “Cinderella” was found - why not a modern fairy tale? Justin's dream turned out to be 17-year-old Cindy Kimberly from Denmark. The girl did not immediately agree to be the muse of the famous singer, but she gained popularity at the same time. Several million people have now subscribed to her Instagram, and the beauty is already beginning to advertise cosmetics of famous brands.
Interestingly, Justin himself gained worldwide fame in approximately the same way: at the age of 12, he took second place in the Stratford Idol competition, and the mother of the future star posted a video of his final performance on YouTube. The video received such a number of views that the producers soon noticed the talented boy. This was the beginning of his career. Similarly, thanks to literally one recorded video with the song, such famous singers as Yegor Creed, Lana Del Rey, Carly Rae Jepsen, Yuri Kaplan and Petr Nalich gained popularity at the beginning of their careers.
Prison photo session
An unusual case of the appearance of a new star occurred in the American town of Stockton. A certain Jeremy Meeks got caught in the illegal possession of weapons and went to jail, but the state institution accidentally gave the guy a real "ticket to life." The fact is that the mugshot (a snapshot attached to the criminal's personal file) was published on the website of the local police station. Either the young American turned out to be very photogenic, or the prison photographer was talented, but soon the prisoner began to have fans who replicated this picture on social networks. When Jeremy was found by representatives of modeling agencies, he had already received a prison sentence, so he had to postpone his career for exactly two years.
Just taking pictures of my life
Mike Warshawski of New York Hospital did not set any high goals for his Instagram account. The young man, like millions of other people around the world, simply posted photos of himself, his beloved dog, hobbies, friends and the like on the network. The number of subscribers gradually grew, and one morning he really woke up famous, according to People magazine, Mike became "the most charming doctor." Of course, after that, the new Internet star has several times more subscribers.
Grammy in two hours
Kazakhstani DJ Imanbek Zeykenov probably set a record of luck by "accidentally" winning the prestigious Grammy award. The guy actually studied at that time at the railway college, worked as a railway worker in the city of Aksu, and in his free time he learned to mix compositions, choosing those that he just liked. He posted the results of the experiments on Instagram. Once, as he himself said, quite by chance the musician found out that one of his "experiments", a remix of Saint Jhn's song "Roses", was nominated for a prestigious competition.
After a few more months of tense anticipation, Imanbek learned that he had won a music award. He became the first musician from Kazakhstan to receive a Grammy, as well as the first musician from the CIS and the former USSR to receive this prestigious award in the non-classical music category. I must say that for a remix created in literally two and a half hours on a home computer, this result can be considered a record.
The modern world allows the wildest dreams to come true. For example, a retired provincial teacher became a super model.

To lose a job and become famous all over the world: Why famous writers were fired
