Cameron Diaz, Channing Tatum, and More Stars With Secret Porn Pasts

Cameron Diaz

When she was just 19, the Bad Teacher star starred in a low budget soft-core film before she became famous. Cameron has never spoken about the video and has tried hard to bury it, but you can currently view it on the internet because, duh, it's the internet.

Channing Tatum

Although he didn't star in a porn film per say, the Magic Mike star did start his career in an X-rated business venture: stripping! The actor worked as an exotic dancer when he was just 19 years old, a past he later described as dark and "seedy."

“I’ve done some bad, bad things that I can’t even possibly talk about during this interview,” he said in 2015.

Matt LeBlanc

The actor appeared in two episodes of the soft-core porn series The Red Shoe Diaries in the '90s before finding success on Friends. "When you bare everything for the camera, physically and emotionally, no amount of rehearsal can prepare you for what happens," he said in a 1992 promo for the series.

Sibel Kekilli

The Game of Thrones actress starred in several hard-core porn flicks before making it big. When she won the Berlinale (Germany's version of the Oscars) in 2004 for her performance in Head-On, the tabloids uncovered her X-rated past, which apparently was so controversial that her parents stopped speaking to her.

"Yes, I did make these [porno] films," she said at the time. "But that's the past."

Simon Rex

The Scary Movie star and former MTV VJ shot several hard-core porn films under the name "Sebastian" — and he's not shy about talking about it either. In 2016, he revealed that he lost a movie role to Ashton Kutcher when Disney execs uncovered one of his old porn films.

Scheana Marie

Although the Vanderpump Rules star is more known for her reality TV work than her acting work, the 31-year-old starred in the soft-corn porn series Femme Fatales in 2012.

“I really liked working with her a lot,” Femme Fatales' director Robert Meyer Burnett told Radar. “Not only did she have to have sex in the show, but then she had a huge cat fight in the kitchen at the end where she is battling with knives and pots and pens. She really went for it."

Camille Grammer

Although better known for appearing in The Real Housewives of Beverley Hills and being the former wife of Kelsey Grammer, the D-list actress appeared in a couple of soft-core films in the '90s, which were uncovered by her Real Housewives co-stars.

Sylvester Stallone

The Rocky star appeared in the buff for the porn film The Italian Stallion when he was a struggling actor.

"It was either do that movie or rob someone because I was at the end – at the very end – of my rope," he told Playboy in 1978. "Instead of doing something desperate, I worked two days for $200 and got myself out of the bus station."

Jackie Chan

Before he became the world's biggest martial arts star, Jackie was a struggling actor who starred in the the mid '70s porn classic All in the Family as a lecherous rickshaw driver. "I had to do anything I could to make a living 31 years ago, but I don't think it's a big deal, even Marlon Brando used to be exposed in his movies," Jackie said in 2006. "The porn movie at that time was more conservative than the current films."

Arnold Schwarzenegger

The action movie star and former governor of California appeared in several explicit photos in a gay porn magazine called After Dark.

Shu Qi

The Transporter star appeared in several adult films before making it big. After achieving success in both the U.S. and Taiwan, she tried to clean up her image by buying the copyrights to all her old X-rated films and videos.

Jon Hamm

Although he never got in the buff, he did work in the porn industry — as a set dresser.
“It was basically soft-core porn, and strangely enough, the guy would say, ‘All I want to see is a–es and elbows,’” he said in 2012. “It was depressing. A week into it, I was like, ‘This is the most depressing thing I've ever done. I've got to get out of this.’”
