The'''I Was Young and Needed the Money''' is the classic stock excuse for the discovering of [[Old Shame]], usually if it's either loaded with [[Fan Service]] or is so lame or [[Tastes Like Diabetes|cutesy]] that it may ruin someone who thinks what they were involved in is beneath them. Usually given for a lot of mainstream models and actresses once their past in "glamour photography" or low-rent soft-core pornography or sexploitation is discovered.
 
Note this need not be something "racy" (and probably won't be, if the trope is being [[Played for Laughs]]); just something the performer would rather not have done, but did it anyway just for the money.
Line 10:
* In ''[[DC Nation]]'', Hotshot's teammates discover that he "starred" in a film valled [[Bi the Way|"Bi The Shore"]] while in college. The females on the team rent it out and have a screening, playing it for all the [[Snark Bait]] it's worth.
* In violet-quill's ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fic ''Wolf Masterson in The Naughty Professor IV: Prefect's Revenge'', Remus Lupin once made films. Naughty, naughty films.
* In multifandom parody vid ''[http://go-devil-dante.deviantart.com/art/L-is-sick-of-walking-19823583 L is sick of walking]'' by [[Go -Devil -Dante]], [[Samurai Champloo|Jin]] posed for "ukelicious" nude photos because [[Memetic Mutation|he needed the monies.]]

Line 85:
* [[Sasha Grey]], now an actress and avant-gardist, spent five straight years in the porn industry. She's known just as much for one as the other nowadays.
* Back before [[Square Enix|Enix merged with Square]], among the projects it had under its belt were at least two really old H-games.
* Played with in that [[Paying Their Dues|she needed the opportunity rather than the cash]]: [[Alanis Morissette]] rarely talks about the two bubblegum-pop albums she recorded when she was a teenager, but without them, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to record her next album, ''Jagged Little Pill''.
