    Robert Pattinson Tells Jimmy Kimmel He's Homeless, Plus Other Stars Who Were Homeless

    Robert Pattinson joked to Jimmy Kimmel that he was once homeless.

    Who knew Rob Pattinson was such a funny guy? The "Twilight" star is all laughs now after the news broke last month that his longtime girlfriend and co-star Kristen Stewart cheated on him.

    Rob appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" this week and had no problem joking about the cheating scandal, even going as far as saying he's homeless.

    "No, I rented this archway and I just live behind it. In one of those trash cans," he joked. Rob previously lived with his ex Kristen in the Los Feliz neighborhood of L.A., but both actors have avoided spending any time there.

    Rob might not actually be homeless but he's one celeb who prefers to live much more modestly than most. On the late night show he also talked about his experience buying a cheap $2500 car in the run down neighborhood of Chino Hills.

    "I buy everything off Craigslist," he said.

    While the big screen actor hasn't experienced being homeless, some celebs have. Let's take a look at those who went from having no home to having huge homes.

    Halle Berry

    It's hard to imagine this gorgeous actress living on the streets but during the early days of her career Halle was forced to live in a homeless shelter at the age of 21. With no help from her parents the model and actress kept her dream alive and now she's one of the most talented and respected members of Hollywood.

    Jim Carrey

    Jim wasn't always laughing. As a teenager the funny guy lived in a van with his family and at one point they even slept in a tent. Jim performed stand up to try and make ends meet. By the age of 19 his family gained financial stability and moved into a house but by then Jim was heading to Hollywood to make it big.

    Hilary Swank

    Hilary had a hard time adjusting when her mom moved to two of them from Washington State to Los Angeles. Hilary has discussed in several interviews her time living in a car with her mom making it extremely difficult for her to fit in at her high school.
