One of the Godfathers of Hollywood, Al Pacino, revealed that in his youth, at 20 years-old, he was a male prostitute selling his body for food and shelter.
“At 20, I lived in Sicily by selling the only asset I had - my body. An older woman traded food and housing in return for sex. I woke mornings not really loving myself,”
After dropping out of school in the 1960s, in order to persue acting, Pacino admitted that he while he was in Sicily he was struggling to the point where the only thing he had to offer was his dignity so he turned to trading his body for survival, but he often woke up regretting his decision.

Praises to Mr. Pacino for telling his story. He is idolized by many male youth, and perhaps he can influence them in positive directions from his own experiences which were regretfull.
