10 Celebrities Who Were Escorts Before Becoming Famous

BRAD PITT – THE POOL BOY

Some people question Brad Pitt’s sexuality. Brad first arrived Hollywood years ago with only few hundred dollars in his pocket. He wanted to break into the movie business and after running late for an interview with Thom Racina. He was instead hired as the gay soap star’s houseboy. Brad moved into taking care of the home and run others errands. Even if Brad got his big break, it’s still being questioned on what Brad did exactly in exchange for room and board.

Before Brad Pitt was an A-list star in Hollywood, he struggled to find work. He arrived late to an interview with Thom Racina, a gay soap star who couldn’t offer him a role, but did give him a job instead as his houseboy.

Pitt ran errands, cleaned the pool, and walked the dog, as well as fulfilled “other” needs for Racina for room and board. Finally, he landed a role on Another World in 1987, and the rest is history.

Al Pacino

Before his iconic role in The Godfather (1972), and Scarface (1983), he dropped out of school and lived on the streets of Sicily.

Pacino revealed to New York Post, “At 20, I lived in Sicily by selling the only asset I had—my body. An older woman traded food and housing in return for sex.”

Russell Brand

Brand is very open about his childhood in which he was sexually abused as a child. Brand was also bulimic as a teen. His father wanted to turn him into a man, and at age 16, brought him to Hong Kong where he hand picked out a prostitute for his first official sexual experience. Brand had a rough go of it early in his career, battling demons with his drug addiction and claiming to be a sex addict.

R3, OP only wants fantasy stories of handsome straight guys who fucked and sucked gay men for roles. You know, only if they're really handsome and have great bodies.

Brad and Thom

R6 It's not Racina in the picture it looks like Brando lol

Brad's role on Another World was all of two days long. And he woudn't have gotten that if Thom Racina hadn't gone to bat for him. Thom was a writer on AW at the time.

R5 Well it seems Pitty and Pacino being gay ruins your fantasy your the fantasist in here

"...women aren’t the only ones who have had to swallow their pride on the way to the top. Tony Danza, notable television star of the 1980s hit, Who’s the Boss?"

Did he hook for Elton John? Which may explain the Elton's song "Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza"

Clint Eastwood

R11 for real?

Y’all off yer meds. Nurse!

As this article is shared many times in DL in last few months Pitty's team have now removed the information about Pitt on the linked site and the house only has his name and pic no other info that's very interesting! but you can find it in another sites

We have covered Pitt's "houseboy" status numerous times in the past. We had a few DLers that were friends of Racina around that time.

To me the most fascinating story is Al Pacino, no way was he only escorting for women. Girl please, he probably had his share of sugar daddies.

R15 Pacino is a closet case

I bet Pacino was part of those deleted scenes.

Although most are probably true, esp homosexual Brad Pitt, we stopped at nancy Reagan. She was from a wealthy Chicago family and had no need or desire (since fish are not interested in sex) to escort.

Sophia Loren

Thomas Jane

Russell Brand is ugly, does not have a great body and has a micro-penis. These are not the things that make a professional escort. Can't take any of the rest serious.

Brand has been said to dress in a "flamboyant bohemian fashion" and has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and bipolar disorder. He also suffered from bulimia, pornography addiction, and experienced a period of self-harming.Brand has described the concept of fame "like ashes" in his mouth.

Brand says he had a "strange relationship" with his father, whom he saw sporadically and who took him to visit prostitutes during a trip to Thailand when Brand was a teenager.

Well known hookers:

The former Mrs. Charlie Sheen worked for Heidi Fliess. That's how they met.

Demi Moore and Bruce Willis at different times and places.

Michelle Pfeiffer

Tom Cruise

Candy Spelling (hooker turned madam turned wife turned widow).

Halle Berry

Tara Reid (hooker turned hooker/dealer/madam)

The late Mrs. Alfred Steele

Rupert Everett

Does Seacrest whoring himself to Merv count?

There's NO WAY Brad would lower himself THAT MUCH to do anything more than legitimate work with Thom what's his name.

The Russell Brand one doesn’t make any sense. Having sex with a prostitute doesn’t make you one.

Russel's ex beard Katy Perry called Russell Brand a "former prostitute"

7 Famous People You Didn’t Realize Were Sex Workers

Lil Kim, Nikki Miinaj, and Shakira but this isn't some secret that they were hos.

I will be one of them

I once heard rumours from some L.A people about Salma Hayek when she first moved to America doing a bit of escorting (high end, as you can imagine with her looks).

So before melania there was Nancy Reagan. How many First Ladies had not do ladylike pasts?

Joan Crawford.

The Duchess of Sussex

Nadine de Rothschild

Ruth Buzzi

Abe Vigoda of course.

As I've stated before, sexual quid pro quo was a solid practice in the film industry from the very beginning. So too in the music industry. Sexual favors extended for breaks were never the exception, but totally the norm. It's the way the business works, Hookers before, during, and after stardom (Carmen Electra, for example). There was verifiable documentation of a HUGE LEGENDARY female singing star getting busted for promising to fuck some big time publicist or something in exchange for favorable articles in a few publications about ten years back. Don't hate the player - hate the game.

Michelle Pfeiffer played an escort. She never was one.

I would bet money that Tom Cruise had to fuck Zeffirelli to get the part in Endless Love.

How would hooking in Sicily be considered a career move?

It worked spectacularly, r30.

Is Melania a celebrity?

Sophia Loren

Brad Pitt

Channing Tatum

Pacino

Between 1957 to 1978 Sophia Loren has played a hooker six times on film

[Quote] and Shakira but this isn't some secret that they were hos.

Really?? I hope they didn't confuse her breasts with mountains.

Al Pacino: "I was a hooker for a female client."

June Allyson

Lassie.. Rin Tin Tin

Lucille Ball

Lucy wanted to go back to hooking behind a Desilu soundstage after Desi died, but Gary wouldn't hear of it.

Lucille has more children pulled out of her than a burning orphanage.

Arnold!

The Raquel Welch rumors are bull.

About Nancy Reagan:

[quote]Once she met Ronny, all the “escorting” came to an end.

Angela Lansbury

The stories about Nancy Reagan being the "blowjob queen of Hollywood" have been around for decades.

The thought of Nancy Reagan giving a blowjob is vomit-inducing, but apparently this really happened.

The oddest one of all - Chuck Norris, who was known as Buttfuck Chuck until he settled into his stardom.

Not only did she do it apparently she was an artist.

Apparently, she blew Peter Lawford and one of his buddies during a long roadtrip. Only thing I ever liked about her.

I can't for the life of me remember the names of the actors, but the story goes that they were riding somewhere in the backseat of a car and Nancy was in the middle, and she took turns blowing them on the ride. One of the actors may have been Peter Lawford as r58 stated, but the other one was well-known too.

I did my time and I'm proud of it!

Robert Stack

R36 - Many men at this site would have paid big money to have Abe in bed with them. Have you ever seen what passes for 'hot' amongst the unfuckables on here?

Olivia de Havilland

Marilyn Monroe

Barbara Stanwyck was rumored to be a call girl in NYC. It is known that she was definitely one of those "dancing girls for hire" and many of those girls were also prostitutes.

One of the reasons Lucille LeSueur changed her name to Joan Crawford was her truly sordid past, which included sex work and even, by some accounts, one porno film.

R66 That may be true, but I always heard it was because Louis B. Mayer thought LeSueur sounded like "sewer" and no MGM star would be called after one of those (even if they lived in them).

Yes, that was another reason, R67. The name also sounded fake and dated, even though it was her real name.

Thomas Jane has admitted he was a rentboy when he came to Hollywood.

And Javier Bardem worked as a stripper in Spain.

Clint was a kept boy for director Arthur Lubin

Vice for a price.

Rock your world.

Channing Tatum was a real male stripper long before Magic Mike, and you know those boys are all up for selling their asses to the highest bidder.

R73 Tatum looks like a strung-out street whore in that pic.

R71: That pic should be in the Bad Acting Hall of Fame.

Nolan Gerard Funk was a go go dancer at gay clubs in LA.

More young stripper Channing Tatum. He definitely looks, um, different.

"Sure, Jan" is played out as a gif. You've posted it here a thousand times. Find something new.

R59, the actors were Peter Lawford and Robert Walker. They were dating Nancy simultaneously, and one day she invited both of them to drive with her to Phoenix to visit her parents. She took turns pleasuring them orally in the back seat while the other was driving.

The Joke Police at R77 can kindly FUCK OFF!

Sure thing, R77.

R78 Lucky girl.

JMV didn't charge by the inch. He'd starve.

Deutch marks or dollars

American Express will do nicely, thank you

Let me loosen up your collar

Tell me, do you want to see me do the shimmy again?

R37 so who was it? Which other singers were prostitutes?

I know that Natalie Cole Who was a great singer, rest in peace, dabbled with sex for pay but she was struggling with her addictions to drugs and she wrote about this in her biography.

I read story here on dl a few years ago, when the internet wasn't yet as PR-controlled, that a dler knew Sharon Stone from a bar he used to frequent, where she did some part of her escort work, getting some clients. Paris Hilton was kicked out of her parent's home at 17 or so, I think after she quit school or was expelled, and she allegedly worked as an appartment hooker after that, allegedly became a madam later on. Read rumors that Matthew Mc Connaughey and Keanu Reeves came as sex workers to Hollywood, also read rumors about James Van der Beek, Ian Sommerhalder and Ryan Philippe (about Ian and Ryan just massage with men (I think erotic), don't know if sex was involved).

r83 Good luck finding one who'll take Deutsch marks today.

R77

Drag Queen Willam on Nolan Gerard Funk

Channing Tatum looks like a WT crack whore in that gif and those photos. He must have a mouth and an ass like a black hole.

R89, he certainly doesn't have my cocksucker lips!

Mr. Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos, has a stripper past. I wonder if he ever took it to the next level.

Probably R91, or he was propositioned a lot by bi and gay men.

Fhlggj

"the actors were Peter Lawford and Robert Walker. They were dating Nancy simultaneously, and one day she invited both of them to drive with her to Phoenix to visit her parents. She took turns pleasuring them orally in the back seat while the other was driving."

Sounds like an urban legend - wasn't Robert Walker a homo, anyway?

Margaret Cho was.

R94, that story was published in Patricia Seaton's 1988 biography of her late husband, Peter Lawford. It was also retold in Kitty Kelley's unauthorized biography of Nancy.

The Kelley book also revealed, per Benny Thau, VP and later head of MGM, that Nancy made the rounds at MGM, performing oral in the executive offices and at their homes at night. That is how she landed her contract and why she was so popular at MGM.

Why r77, I forgot when we elected you empress.

"That is how she landed her contract and why she was so popular at MGM."

She wasn't popular, never really made it bigger than B movies

I’ve always wondered about Brad Davis supporting his drug habit and what he might have done.

R98, I meant popular on the MGM lot.

How about those who did it AFTER they were famous (and were on the decline.) Maureen McCormick. Lauren Chapin.

R87 Did not feel sorry for that bitch when she lost her hair.

R102 Marcia, I love your new hairdo!

Salma Hayek came from money. I can't imagine her turning tricks for money. Maybe for kicks?? Not for money.

Someone on the current Motley Crüe thread said that Nikki Sixx was a hustler in his teens when he just arrived in L.A. This would have been the mid-70s (‘76-77?).

This isn’t public knowledge and has not been mentioned anywhere else as far as I know so if true it could change certain conversations. Can anyone who was trolling around L.A. at that time confirm or deny?

Get a load of Miss Self-Appointed Hall Monitor at r77.

I wasn't a whore. I was a dancer!

[quote] Can anyone who was trolling around L.A. at that time confirm or deny?

"Deny"? How could anyone know what he was doing every hour of his life in 76-77 in Los Angeles?

Cary grant

R85 Paris Hilton is wealthy she did not need to be a ho.

R105 are you sure you don't have him confused with Joey Ramone? Joey claimed he was a street hustler in NYC but he would just pick up men and rob them.

[quote]Apparently, she blew Peter Lawford and one of his buddies during a long roadtrip.

Not sure that I buy that about her. Everything I've read about her cocksucking is that a) she was very, very skilled at it, and b) it was purely transactional -- to get things she wanted from powerful men.

Chuck Norris was known as Buttfuck Chuck before he became a star and a rightwing hero.

Who is Channing Tatum with the days? His production company is called "33andout". Hmmm. Did he divorce Jenna and then kinda come out?

Brad Pitt but this is not a secret.

That was Dee Dee, R111.

Who the hell would pay to fuck Margret Cho? Mr Magoo?

R105 even if that is true, Sixx would only lie about it or spin it like he was MeToo’d. He cannot own up to anything, especially if he thinks it may embarrass or humanise him.

Beautiful Dorothy Dandridge.

I heard that both Agnes Moorhead and Ken Berry were escorts.

Also, Edward Everett Horton

Penelope Cruz
