Seeing how stars are scrutinised, they always have to watch out what they are doing and they all fear most that their dark secrets from the past would be discovered. Today, at the Internet age, nothing can be kept secret anymore, every recorded scandal will spread at the speed of light.

Many famous film stars have “a dark past”. We have decided to reveal some of those who have started their career in the porn industry.

Naïve Cameron Diaz gets wrong end of the stick

Just like many young actresses at the beginning of their career, Cameron did not mind having her photo taken without any clothes, but she does not want to publish these photos in tabloids. At the age of 19, Cameron had to profit from her beauty and sex-appeal exclusively. Therefore, she posed at an S&M photo shoot with another girl.

Her attorneys brought the photographer in question to court, but as the actress shows her breasts and backside in the disputable photos, Rutter knew he can sell them well. He was “fair” about it and first offered the delicate material to the actress for a price. Cunning attorneys fooled him with promises of a large sum of money, but they sent the police to his apartment, who took away the photos and the film. Diaz banned the film`s distribution.

Some left porn for action films, others for drama or SF

“The Party at Kitty and Stud’s” is a porn film in which Sylvester Stallone began his career, who received 200 dollars a day for shooting it.

Initially, the film was hard core porn, but when Stallone became famous in mainstream cinematography, the hard core parts were omitted from the re-issue. The DVD was a smash hit in discount shops, called “Italian Stallion”.

Today, nobody could even believe that Kevin Costner began his career as a porn trainee in “Sizzle Beach USA”.

Before the famous “X-Files” agent, David Duchovny, began investigating paranormal phenomena, he was investigating “something else” in “New Year`s Day”.

From nudity to martial arts

Before he became famous, Jackie Chan - one of the greatest stars in the history of martial-comedy, he had to earn his daily bread by appearing naked.

-31 years ago I had to do anything to survive, but I don`t think it`s such a big deal, even Marlon Brando took his clothes off in his films – Chan commented, who started his Hong Kong film industry career in a sex film called “All in the Family”. Just as legendary Sammo Hung appeared in the same film, as one of the then popular Chinese porn stars.

Arnold Schwarzenegger in bed with a man

Arnold Schwarzenegger, once action hero, now governor, was prepared to do anything for success at first. Rumours about his roles in gay porn film were never outed in the media, but he cannot deny posing completely naked for “After Dark” gay magazine, in front of a camera belonging to controversial Robert Mapplethorpe who was accused of child pornography.

Of course, he fancied the gay community in an interview back then much more than he does now, as a controversial right-wing politician in California.

Even though all today`s film mega stars would rather forget their first films, history remains undisputed evidence, fame comes via bed and the media is too powerful. Therefore, be careful how you will start your way to the top.
