Taylor Kitsch may be starring in the upcoming film “Lone Survivor” but life wasn’t always about movie premieres and red carpets. The former “Friday Night Lights” star, 32, revealed in a new interview with Glamour magazine that he started his career as a poorly-paid Abercrombie model.

“That was kind of a weekend thing I did to stay afloat — 10, 20 bucks here or there. I was actually homeless at the time,” he said. “I was homeless in New York for a while, and then I went to L.A., where I lived in my car.”

However, with the success of projects like “Friday Night Lights,” Kitsch became a household name, and a bit of a heartthrob, best known for his long hair.

“I started growing it when I was 20, playing junior hockey,” he said. “The first time I cut it was for ‘Battleship.’ I’d had it long for 11 years. Now it’s kind of got a life of its own.”
