- “Uncut Gems” actress Julia Fox talked about her former job as a dominatrix during an episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.
- Fox said she made $250 an hour to role play as a nurse or to torture clients at their request.
- She said the experience helped her explore her own sexuality more.
Before “Uncut Gems” actress Julia Fox worked in Hollywood, she said she was a dominatrix working in Manhattan.
During an episode of the podcast “Call Her Daddy,” Fox, who is 32, told host Alex Cooper the details of the work she used to do to support herself financially.
Fox started working at a sex dungeon after she turned 16, she said, adding that it was her first experience with acting and a way to explore her sexuality.
According to Fox, sex dungeon clients paid her $250 an hour to role play as a nurse dominating a doctor. Sometimes, clients would ask Fox to torture them, she said on the podcast.
She said she never had sex with clients, but the experience gave her a chance to try acting.
“When people ask how did I get my start in acting, I’m like, ‘at the dungeon,’ because I would have to improv multiple times a day, on very short notice,” Fox told Cooper.
Fox also said her dominatrix work allowed her to explore her sexuality for the first time.
Before she worked at the sex dungeon, Fox said it felt like her sexuality was used against her and “was something to be guarded and protected.” But her work as a dominatrix made her more aware of her own desires.
“In this very controlled environment, I was also able to explore my own,” Fox said of her former job. She said she’d be in the middle of a session with a client and would realize how certain fantasies turned her on.
Fox, who has recently made headlines for her relationship with Kanye West, also talked about foursomes and taking drugs as a teenager in the podcast interview.
