4. Sylvester Stallone

While Stallone was still trying to make it as an actor in the early 1970s, he found himself homeless and desperate for money. Stallone recalled, “It was either do that movie or rob someone, because I was at the end – the very end – of my rope.” His desperation lead to him agreeing to appear in the soft-core porn film entitled The Party at Kitty and Stud’s. The 24-year-old Stallone only received $200 for two days’ work in the X-rated flick. The video was largely forgotten until Stallone became a major star with the release of Rocky in 1976. The explicit tape was re-released as the Italian Stallion, in order to cash in on the actor’s newfound fame.
