Gabourey Sidibe is full of surprises this week. The 33-year-old actress — who just revealed she had weight-loss surgery last year — also opened up about her interesting job before she hit it big in 2009 with Precious. It turns out that Gabby was a phone sex operator for three years!
“I was actually pretty good at it,” she told People, adding that the line of work helped prep her for her acting career. “I knew that when people were asking me, ‘So have you had any acting training?’ my acting school was on the phone, pretending to be some superyoung 21-year-old college girl named Melody. I know that was my acting! But I felt too stupid to say it.”
Sidibe, who is on a press tour promoting her new book, This Is Just My Face, also discussed her former job with Nylon, adding that she still turns on her phone-sex voice when ordering room service.
