We can’t deny that the shiny world of Hollywood is a tough game. Success and money don’t come overnight. Neither did fame back in the day. Perhaps, this is how the movie industry worked. Nowadays it seems so much easier to become a sensational Hollywood star in the blink of an eye. More often than not, it’s hardly about creativity or talent anymore. If the “new girl” has a pretty face and is willing to show off her sexy body, then she could climb the ladder of success. Normally, the same applies to guys as well.

Believe it or not, today we’d love to present you with a “steaming-hot” list of 15 Hollywood stars who have really done adult movies. Surely, this isn’t the best way to launch a career. However, you never know what these people must have lived through in order to put some more cash aside. Additionally, it’s not like all of these famous names were born under a lucky star. Whatever the case, their “skin-flick” movies will forever be a part of them regardless of whether they love it or hate it. Besides, some of these folks may even feel proud of themselves, who knows…

15. Sylvester Stallone

We hope that the shock will go away soon enough and you will be able to get the juicy details on this! Surely, Sylvester is the last mainstream Hollywood star who deserves to be featured on such an edgy list. But anyway, it’s not our fault that he’s REALLY done a “skin-flick” movie, right? When thinking about this now, who could have known that such a HUGE movie star has ever walked this …dark path. But indeed, it is what it is now and we can’t skim over it just like that. Indeed, the legendary Sylvester Stallone has tried himself in the X-industry of hardcore adult movies for real. And just in case you’ve been wondering about the title, here it is: enjoy the “The Party at Kitty and Stud’s” which has helped him launch a career for sure.

14. Traci Elizabeth Lords

Oh, the beautiful Traci Lords! With such a gorgeous face and body, we can’t deny that she’s surely one attractive lady. However, the younger version of herself is far from words like “classy” or “humble”. And just in case you’ve not heard of her steaming hot adult movies, you better do some research on her raunchy biography and filmography. Her lovely personality has graced the screens more than 100 times. After all, she loves showing off her body…and other intimate parts. But, generally, she’s a great example of an actress who will do as you tell her. Today she may look pretty decent, but Traci will never be able to break up with her notorious reputation as the “underage adult movie star”.

13. Sibel Kekilli

Meet the beautiful Sibel Kekilli – the actress who plays Shae in the extremely popular HBO TV series Game of Thrones. Today you could totally recognize her on the streets as the successful actress who really got her big breakthrough back in 2002. In truth, she owes her immense success to the great series loved and awaited by millions of fans. But her movie career hasn’t always been that “shiny”. Sibel Kekilli has also walked the shameful path…leading her to the burning-hot adult entertainment industry. Surely, we don’t have the final word on it, but neither are we in a position to judge people. However, the truth cannot be denied. Sibel Kekilli is actually an actress in numerous sex video clips which have surfaced on the web.

12. Shu Qi

When it comes to Shu Qi, she’s probably the perfect instance of an actress who has appeared in both “skin-flick” and serious mainstream movies. Well, we can’t help but ask her this: “Hey, Shu, what genre do you prefer the most and why?” Well, this question almost sounds like a test that Shu won’t pass. Just kidding! It seems like Shu Qi must have really enjoyed doing skin-flick movies and she’s not ashamed of it! Okay, it’s not like she’s done something wrong. It’s hardly the case at all. However, she’s best known for her role in the mega-hit franchise “The Transporter” with the legendary Jason Statham. Also, she’s grown pretty famous for her other adult movie productions. All in all, we must say that she’s been really lucky for landing such a big role.

11. Simon Rex

Meet Mr. Simon Rex – the famous actor who’s also been keeping some juicy stories under the rack all his life. Today he’s probably more ashamed than proud of what he’s been involved in. But anyway, this is what Simon Rex used to do to keep the wolf from the door. Besides, the monthly expenses have to be covered in one way or another. It’s said that there’s no shameful job, but doing an adult film to make the cash flow doesn’t seem right. All in all, Simon is a really talented actor and a smart guy who could have thought of something else, right? Unfortunately, his big portion of XXX movies is still in existence and will always be no matter how fast he climbs the ladder of success.

10. Tom Sizemore

Here we go with another famous name that has surely been a hot topic since forever. Over the course of his professional life, Tom Sizemore has also done a couple of skin-flick films which have really helped him launch a successful acting career. Presently, his resume may not seem so exclusive and thrilling, though. Indeed, he’s managed to land amazing roles in so many great movies, such as “Saving Private Ryan”, “Heat”, “Strange Days”, etc. So perhaps, he’s no longer interested in doing hot on-screen moments since then. Maybe, he’s through with it, but his inglorious “The Tom Sizemore Sex Scandal” period will never stop haunting his dreams.

9. Helen Mirren

Who hasn’t heard of the great and prominent Helen Mirren?! Is there such a person? Probably not. Indeed, Helen Mirren may be one of the greatest Hollywood stars featured on this hot list, but she’s done some less respected roles as well. Maybe, the glamorous and fancy world of Hollywood has really set a high price that only a few of them could afford to pay. Yes, she’s become famous but her reputation is quite notorious, to put it lightly. Besides, she’s totally done a fair portion of well-known adult movies which have definitely contributed to her professional growth, to say the least. And these dark XXX movies will forever stain her name as an actress for sure.

8. Malcolm McDowell

Well, the story about how Malcolm McDowell got himself involved in what many consider a skin-flick movie is quite hilarious, if not paradoxical. Alongside Helen Mirren who’s also been a part of this notorious project, Malcolm Mcdowell has probably loved the final result more than the rest of the cast. Released back in 1979, the ill-famed Caligula was originally planned as a phenomenal mainstream movie that had the potential to break records. Somehow, the movie kind of ran off the rails back in the day. Eventually, the movie was wrapped up later on. Generally, it welcomed the idea of doing hardcore lesbian scenes back in 1979. So, honestly, if that’s not a porn movie, we can barely make any other suggestion…

7. Jaime Pressly

Have you seen “Poison Ivy 3”? If you haven’t, then you had better drive this thought away. After all, you would not want to take your date to such a sexually suggestive movie because this is what “Poison Ivy 3” is all about. All in all, Jamie’s charming personality is undeniable. Besides, she has also done a couple of other pretty successful movies as well. Great examples of such are the following: “My Name is Earl”, “Joe Dirt“, etc. In truth, we can’t say that she’s talentless or whatever, but she has definitely started her acting career as an adult movie actress for sure. Maybe, this is what she loves doing in order to achieve her goals at the end of the day. To each his own, right?

6. Arnold Schwarzenegger

Seriously, Arnold?! Believe it or not, this is the truth, although it’s quite hard to accept for sure. First off, it’s impossible for us to even think of him as an adult movie actor given all his epic productions. But after all, every beginning has its stories and so does the Arnold’s acting career back in the day. If you dare to type his name into your Google search, you’d be really shocked to see him in such a raunchy role. Wasn’t he the hunky action-thriller legend from the old days? What has happened? We’ll tell you what might have happened. Rumor has it that Arnold’s first steps into the Hollywood world were not that easy. Thus, he promised himself to keep the cash running into his bank account by doing not-so-appreciated roles.

5. Mark Wahlberg

So why does it feel as though Mark is everywhere we go? Do you still remember his not-so-glorious days before becoming an A-list actor? And here we are again talking about him. Besides, it certainly seems that Mark has tried his hand at basically everything so as to make money rain. Maybe he went way too far when he accepted to play his part in Boogie Nights. However, life doesn’t always offer us a second choice, right? Perhaps, this is what Mark thought before jumping right into this crazy adventure! Today, he’s light years away from this dark and inglorious period of his professional life as an actor, so this is what his fans need to focus on, right?

4. Jackie Chan

While many of the previous names awaken the “Aha moment”, Jackie Chan is simply another story. Indeed, it’s so hard to believe that the great fighting ninja named Jackie Chan has actually done a skin-flick movie! Can you believe this? It just sounds like the perfect nonsense. Well, it’s not like he is a less talented actor who lacks such skills, but he barely fits there. Frankly, this is the very truth of it! He’s good at doing extreme fighting scenes which are heavily action-packed. Furthermore, the sole idea of him doing steaming sex scenes is surely not the most impressive and compelling one.

3. Cameron Diaz

The gorgeous Cameron Diaz has surely been up to no good all these years. While we’ve been treating her like a Goddess, this one has actually been keeping such juicy details to herself! Well, well, well, the one and only Cameron Diaz has really done a few adult movies! What’s really curious is that she’s spent so many good years trying to shut down the distribution of her hot old movies. Presently, her die-hard fans can still run into a good and quite delicious portion of racy past photos of Diaz. In truth, she must have done her best at that since there’s no trace of her disgraceful years as an actress ever since. So, well done, Cameron! You’re a genius at that!

2. Matt LeBlanc

Well, it would be safe to say that it’s exactly Matt LeBlanc who deserves to be depicted as “a genuine p*rn star” who gets “it”. After all, he’s best known for his “How you doing” phrase, so this is certainly not something exclusive. What’s more, his character Joey Tribbiani has generated the actor about $1 million per episode. So at least he should be thankful for playing a goofy dude who knows how to get women in bed. But before this, Matt’s first steps into this industry were light years away from his greatly renowned and cherished personality on Friends. Believe it or not, he actually started his career as an adult movie star and has starred in a few intriguing adult movies as well. Nice move, Joey!

1. Sasha Grey

Famous for her racy nickname “The Woman with Dead Eyes”, the charming Sasha Grey is surely one lucky lady who has done some wicked things in her professional career. A great example of this would be her rich abundance of hot adult movies where she presents herself as a really “demanding” lady. In truth, she has really done such steaming scenes as she’s also a proud owner of a few awards, like the “Best Three-Way Sex Scene” or “Best Group Scene”. How interesting! Without being way too sarcastic, let’s just say that the “Entourage” star is a genuine “storm” in what she does. Maybe, this is what has made her extremely famous in the first place. After all, she’s the “The Sexy Woman with Dead Eyes“, remember?
