We've all taken jobs that we really didn't like. Or were over-qualified for. Or were totally beneath us. And even embarrassing.
It's a known fact that you've gotta pay your dues, unless you have an "in" with a relative, family friend or college connection. Nowhere is this more true than in Hollywood.
Some people take jobs as strippers or "escorts." Others (Cameron Diaz. Jon Hamm we're looking at YOU!) even take jobs in the "adult film industry" aka "doing PORN".
Look, if you want to do porn, that's fine. Do it. Have some fun. If that's the life you want to live, or if you need the money, whatever, it's your life. There's no judgment here.
Maybe you enjoy acting and will do anything to get your foot in the door. Or maybe you just really love having sex. That's cool, do porn if doing porn is what you want to do. Just don't expect to do porn until something better comes along.
The majority of porn actors who try to break out of porn never really succeed. They may find a role or two that they don't have to hide from their parents, but typically they never escape from the porn star stigma.
However, there are some people who managed to become mainstream stars. (Of course, they hid that part of their career for as long as possible.)
Just keep in mind that these guys are exceptions to the rule, so don't get too much hope for a future in film if you're currently doing the dirty on camera.
Here are 18 celebrity porn stars, well, actors who did porn who later became big celebs:
