15 Celebs Who Slept Around, But Couldn’t Find Fame [+Photos]

5.  Simon Rex – All Looks, No Brass

While it’s usually female actresses that try their hand at fame by sexual escapades, Simon Rex is an example of a male actor trying to become the next heartthrob with a start in adult films. Starting at just 19 years old, his adult films were geared towards a gay market and included cheesy titles like Young, Hard & Solo II & III. Since his 1993 peak in the adult film industry, he has made continued efforts to try and parlay this experience into a viable film and television career. While he has made some appearances in popular television shows, he still hasn’t become mainstream or accepted as a true Hollywood actor. Although he may have the look of a Hollywood heartthrob, his background in the sex industry seems to have tainted his ability to reach true fame.
