Ever been curious about the early careers of your favorite stars? It's common knowledge that many celebrities had to hustle before hitting the big time, and for some, that included stepping into the adult entertainment industry. Here's an intriguing peek at the unexpected starts of some now-household names.
Before gracing the big screen with her charming presence in rom-coms, Cameron Diaz's first foray into film was a little racier. At 19, she appeared in a softcore film, a decision she later expressed regret over. Despite efforts by the actress to suppress it, the film made its rounds, rumored to have been quashed with a hefty settlement.
Before donning the suave persona of Don Draper in 'Mad Men', Jon Hamm had a stint in the adult film world, albeit behind the scenes. Hamm worked as a set dresser for Cinemax's late-night erotica. Revealed in a Vanity Fair piece, it's a testament to his varied path to success.
Known to 'Game of Thrones' fans as Shae, Sibel Kekilli had a career in German adult films under the pseudonym 'Dilara' before her mainstream breakthrough. Her past, which won her acclaim in the adult industry, led to a personal cost: estrangement from her family.
Long before 'Rocky' made him a star, Sylvester Stallone acted in a softcore film to make ends meet. Initially titled 'The Party at Kitty’s and Stud’s', the film was later rebranded to capitalize on Stallone's fame, cheekily renamed 'The Italian Stallone'.
Kim Kardashian's rise to fame was fueled by the leak of a private tape with then-boyfriend Ray J. While not traditional porn, the explicit nature of the video launched her into the public eye, subsequently leading to the reality TV empire 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians'.
