Tyrese Gibson's Trashy Dreams

R&B star-turned-actor Tyrese Gibson has always had the ultimate respect for sanitary workers because he grew up wanting to be one.

The Transformers star admits trash day was a real highlight for him when he was a youngster in Watts, Los Angeles.

He reveals, "When I was young, I wanted to be a trashman... I used to walk eight, nine houses up the street every trash day; I put on two or three of my daddy's belts and I used to help the trashmen load the trash on the truck.

"And I knew they had medical benefits and dental care."
