TEA LEONI - WAITRESSING NIGHTMARES FOR TEA LEONI

Actress TEA LEONI could only stomach a waitressing career for three days when she was a struggling actress - because diners in New York were so gross.

Like many wannabes, the DEEP IMPACT star took on a waiting job at a New York cafe to help her pay the bills early in her career and admits it was the worst experience of her life.

She says, "I remember on one occasion there was this guy sitting there eating this pastrami sandwich like he was killing it and I wanted to remind him it was already dead.

"He asked me as I passed by for more mayonnaise with a full mouth and I just heaved right there on the floor.

"I wasn't a diva back then but the lady who owned the joint made me clean it up. I had the upbringing to actually clean it up before I quit. I never waited tables again."
