Um, WHAT?!: Dustin Diamond, Octomom, and More Celebs You Didn't Know Became Porn Stars

For most actors, porn is considered a career demotion. But when you're a broke and out of work actor, any job is a good job, especially if you're Dustin Diamond or Jaimee Foxworth. Both have found minor success in adult entertainment — and you won't believe what other celebs have joined them.

Rachel Swimmer from Laguna Beach.

Although she's best known for appearing in season three of Laguna Beach, Rachel — who currently goes by her porn name, "Tasha Reign" — now makes adult films for a living.

"I actually knew I wanted to be naked in front of the camera since I was in high school," she said "I went to L.A. Direct Models in Studio City (Calif.), and I just walked through the door and asked them if I can be a porn star."

Scott Schwartz from A Christmas Story.

Best known for playing Flick in A Christmas Story, Scott later transitioned from child star to adult film star.

"At the time, financially, I wasn’t doing very well," he said. "Royalties from movies don’t pay a lot. It was something I looked at as off-the-norm for someone of my background. But rather than buy some coke and do eighty down Sunset with a sign that said 'Arrest me,' I decided to take that path."

Tami Erin from The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking.

Tami played Pippi in the 1988 film The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking, but in 2013 Tami turned to porn, releasing her own sex tape to Zero Tolerance Entertainment for $10,000.

Nadya "Octomom" Suleman

She made headlines back in 2009 for giving birth to octuplets. To help pay the bills to feed all 14 of her children, she turned to porn.

“The last two years of it were so dark. We were on the verge of homelessness, so rather than put my kids in front of the camera, I decided to put myself out there," she said

Former soap opera actress Kelli McCarty.

This former Miss USA who appeared in the soap Passions turned to porn once she found herself out of a job.

"I just sat on the idea [to do porn] and started looking into other companies," she said. "That’s when I approached Vivid [Entertainment] and they were like, ‘Yeah, let’s make a movie.'"

Jonell Green from A Different World.

She played Dashawn Curtis on A Different World, but now she's playing a different role — adult film star. Under her porn name ("Aryana Starr") she has released films like It's All Pink on the Inside and Thicka Than a Snicka 9.
