'Hung' Thomas Jane says he was a gay escort

'Hung' star Thomas Jane said he slept with men for money when he was young and broke in Hollywood.

Star of the HBO series Hung, Thomas Jane, has revealed he worked as a gay escort when he first arrived in Hollywood. The 42-year-old said that when he was homeless he slept with both men and women for money.

"I was 18. I wasn't averse to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean?" Pink News quotes him as saying.

"You grow up as an artist in a big city, as James Dean said, you're going to have one arm tied behind your back if you don't accept people's sexual flavours."

Jane, who recently divorced actress Patricia Arquette, said that while he is straight, he was open to sexual experimentation sometimes.

"You're a lot more open to experimentation as a young man. And for me, being a young artists and broke in Los Angeles, I was exploring my sexual identity."

The actor, who plays male escort Ray Drecker in Hung, added, "Probably because of my middle-class, white blue-collar upbringing, I would have never had the opportunity to confront some of my own fears and prejudices had I not been hungry enough to be forced to challenge myself in that way.

"I chose to be a heterosexual guy because that’s what my DNA dictates and my nurture dictates that I am.

“It’s not a choice until you’re open enough to experience both male and female sexuality,” he concluded. "Until you’ve tasted the food, you don’t know whether you’ll like it or not, as my mom always said.”
