“I longed to be indoctrinated,” Houston once told the ‘Independent.’ “I’d put my mother’s old tutus on my head and pretend I was at my First Communion. When I was six, I told my father I wanted to be a nun and he said: ‘That’s wonderful, honey. When are you going to start?"”



3. Anne Hathaway

“When I was younger I thought about becoming a nun for a while,” Hathaway told ‘OK!.’ “You know how it is when you’re growing up and you’re going to be a lot of different things, but I actually wanted to be an actress before I wanted to be a nun. The nun was more of a side-bar thing.”
