I know when stars get famous, the media tends to delve into their past to find out what jobs they had beforehand, and Diane Kruger is no different. Well actually, she is, because out of all the really weird jobs I've ever heard, this ranks pretty high up on the banana-rama-batshit-insane scale; Diane Kruger was paid to be sad at funerals.

She said: "We always had jobs. Between the ages of eight and 12 I was a professional griever. I'm not joking!

"I went to Catholic school and they would have young girls with a candle stand in front of the coffins. It was the worst job anyone could think of.

"You'd stand there, with people crying and weeping, and walk in front of the coffin. Once they were buried, the priest would come up to you and hand you five Deutschmarks." (Source)

Five Deutschmarks? What a friggin' rip off! Seriously, when we went to funerals, all we got was a case of Irish-Catholic guilt, and impending sense of doom and some serious wiggin's. And to think, I could have nabbed five whole deutschmarks out of the whole deal! Do you know how much Schokolade that would buy a kid?
