Nikki Blonsky working part time in shop

Nikki Blonsky‘s acting career appears to have hit the skids. The 22-year-old star — who was plucked from obscurity to play alongside Hollywood heavyweight John Travolta in 2007 hit movie Hairspray – is now working in a shoe store in New York.

Store owner Steven Dann told RadarOnline that Blonsky is working at the boutique, “two to three days a week dependent on her schedule” but also has something huge coming-up on the work front.

“Nikki has something enormous coming-up at the end of the summer that will be bigger than Hairspray,” Steven said.
