Let's face it, many of us enjoy porn (especially celebrity porn! Kim K, ring a bell?) but when it comes to actually doing the stuff — well, we tend to leave that to the pros.

However, in the general entertainment industry it's difficult to break into (without a doubt) and in wanting to stand out from the crowd or even make a little money while going on those auditions, there's not much of a limit to what people are willing to do.

These are 10 celebs (some of your favorites) who proved that, getting their foot (or other parts) in the door by doing porn ... in one form or another.

2. Sylvester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone was paid $200 for his feature in The Party at Kitty and Stud (what a name) before getting the opportunity for many great roles. He had the misfortune of having the films re-released to pickup some traction after hit films Rocky and Rambo were released.

3. Traci Lords

Snaps for Traci Lords. Lords played in many adult films in her youth, however, she went on to make quite the name for herself in the mainstream world. She has done everything from Roseanne and Gilmore Girls to Zack and Miri Make A Porno (probably not as ironic as we think).

5. Arnold Schwarzenegger

Yes, Arnie. Our Terminator, California's ex Governor, and Maria Shriver's shitty husband "accidentally" took pornographic photographs. He claims he had no clue what they would be released in a gay porn magazine ... After Dark.

6. Sibel Kikelli

Sibel, better known as Shae (ahmm GOT fans, stand up) was a German porn star before. Although, she currently plays a prostitute she's done a good job of leaving her past behind and making a new name from herself in mainstream acting.

7. Jackie Chan

This was particularly difficult for me to wrap my mind around, because at any given age or stage in his life, I don't imagine a sexual Jackie Chan. But, I suppose it's always the least suspecting. Chan played in an adult film by the name of All in the Family, which I'm not certain that I want a synopsis on.

8. Marilyn Monroe

Before her acting career and the presidential family, Marilyn Monroe got her start doing nude photo layouts.

9. Cameron Diaz

When I think of Cameron, I pickup fun, vivacious and my (imaginary) BFF ... I thinkt that's pretty normal, right? Anyways, the one thing that doesn't come to mind is porn star, nonetheless, Diaz has played in a soft core film, too.
