Djimon Hounsou came to Paris from Benin when he was 13. He was with his brother, but they couldn't find jobs.
They had to sleep under bridges and look for food in trash cans.
One day, a photographer met him and introduced him to a famous designer, Thierry Mugler. Mugler thought Djimon could be a model. In 1987, Djimon started modeling in Paris.
He moved to the US in 1990 and began acting in music videos and movies.
He became famous for his roles in Amistad and Gladiator. Today, Djimon is a well-known actor in Hollywood.
He stays humble and remembers where he came from.
