For most of us, Gabourey Sidibe appeared out of nowhere with her breakthrough role in 2009’s movie “Precious” but her acting career started 3 years before that as a Phone Sex Operator.

In a recent interview with PEOPLE Magazine, Sidibe spilled the T on her career as a PSO. “I was actually pretty good at it,” Sidibe, 33, tells PEOPLE of the phone-sex gig, which she did for three years, fielding calls for two months before moving up in the business. “I did it for two months before I was promoted.”

Sidibe started performing on the phone in her early 20’s after she dropped out of college, pretending to be a “super-young 21-year-old college girl named Melody.” She promptly quit once she was cast in “Precious” and recalls being incredibly nervous about how people would react to her unusual profession.

“I wasn’t just some phone whore,” and she insists that if it wasn’t for this job she would not have been prepared for her acting career.
