The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor said that he didn't mind getting out his booty and did everything as before entering into the glamorous world of Hollywood he was a drag queen and professional stripper for long, News.com.au reported.

The English actor, who will be playing the role of Areo Hotah, captain of Prince Doran Martell's guards in the newest season of the American fantasy drama, explained that he started acting at the age of 16 but wanted to experience many other things in life and that's how he landed to Sydney and became a dancer and a stripper.
