Eminem's Humble Ambitions

Eminem is genuinely shocked by the level of fame he has achieved - because he never planned to be a superstar.

The STAN hitmaker has fast become one of the biggest names in hip-hop and has made millions of dollars off the back of three successful solo albums and a hit movie 8 Mile.

But Eminem - real name MARSHALL MATHERS III - insists he always had humble ambitions: "All I ever wanted to do was to make enough money from music to be able to support myself and make a living, and have a future for my daughter. That was my plan from the beginning. It, getting this big - I never planned it."
