You just wipe those porn tears out of your eyes, Farrah Abraham. Plenty of Hollywood stars have done porno films, then denied they did a porno film and then tried to sue the porno film company. It’s a classic Tinseltown tale, one that more often than not (okay, maybe just occasionally) ends in a flourishing clothed film career.
Ditch that Christian parenting book idea — trust me, nobody is taking your parenting advice — and invest some of that Vivid sex tape money on acting classes. Just look at these movie stars who were at one time boning on screen just like you!
Jackie Chan
Adult: All In The Family
Mainstream: All the Rush Hours, Rumble In The Bronx, Kung Fu Panda
Before Jackie was bringing the rumble to the Bronx, he was bringing the rumble to the bed, hey-yo! The film was one of Chan’s earliest film appearances and as he told Hong Kong media, just another chance to act on screen: “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.”
Abigail Clayton
Adult: A Coming Of Angels, October Silk
Mainstream: So Fine, Maniac
One of the earliest actresses to transition from erotic films into more mainstream film work, Clayton appeared in the 1980 slasher movie Maniac. Not exactly mainstream, but a slight step above October Silk.
Sylvester Stallone
Adult: The Party At Kitty And Stud’s
Mainstream: Rocky, The Expendables, Rambo, etc
Sly probably has the most famous porn-to-mainstream record of anybody on this list, as he’s not only one of the highest paid action stars ever, but also appeared in a seriously dirty movie. The original Party At Kitty And Stud’s supposedly included Stallone cranking out some money shots, but the footage was later cut and the film repackaged as Stallone became more popular.
Robert Kerman
Adult: Debbie Does Dallas, The Satisfiers Of Alpha Blue
Mainstream: Cannibal Holocaust, Eaten Alive!, Cannibal Ferox
Okay, calling Cannibal Holocaust a mainstream film is about as far from mainstream as you can get. That said, Kerman did go on to play the tugboat captain in Spider-Man, which is about as mainstream as possible.
Cameron Diaz
Adult: Just a weird untitled soft-core video
Mainstream: There’s Something About Mary, Bad Teacher, The Mask
Two years before Cameron Diaz did The Mask she filmed some soft-core S&M footage which didn’t see the light of day for a long time. The photographer attempted to blackmail her with the footage, but Diaz took him to court and won the case. Of course, it eventually found its way to the internet because the internet’s gonna do what the internet’s gonna do.
Spalding Gray
Adult: The Farmer’s Daughters
Mainstream: The Killing Fields, Beaches
Before Spalding Gray was writing plays and starring in acclaimed movies like The Killing Fields, he was leading a team of convicts on a spree of rape and terror. The grindhouse film The Farmer’s Daughters follows a group of convicts as they happen upon a farmhouse of young women and well, decide they’re interested in more than just a homecooked meal.
Simon Rex
Adult: Young, Hard And Solo #2 and #3
Mainstream: Scary Movie 3, 4 and 5
Simon may now be landing high-profile acting gigs alongside such esteemed thespians as Ashley Tisdale and a chimpanzee, but I’ll always prefer to remember him by his DJ/comedian name, Dirt Nasty.
David Duchovny
Adult: The Red Shoe Diaries
Mainstream: The X-Files, Californication, Evolution
Way back before Showtime decided to give HBO a run for their money in the original programming department, they had an after hours show called The Red Shoe Diaries. It wasn’t exactly porn programming, but fell more into the category of erotic drama and featured agent Fox Mulder getting down to biz-nass.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Porn: 1970s smut magazine After Dark
Mainstream: Pretty much every other action movie between 1982 and 2003.
There have been rumors about Arnold Schwarzenegger doing gay porn in the early 1970s, but chances are that evidence was destroyed by Skynet years ago. What is for certain is that Arney showed his dong in a shoot for smut magazine After Dark.
Perrey Reeves
Adult: The Red Shoe Diaries
Mainstream: Entourage, Old School
Mrs. Ari Gold wasn’t always the classy stay-at-home mom that she appeared to be on Entourage. Before settling into a cushy HBO salary she was just another girl with stars in her eyes that was willing to strip down on The Red Shoe Diaries.
So there you have it. Don’t fret, Farrah. Once this whole porn/sex tape and children’s book author thing blows over, a role in Scary Movie 25 awaits you.
