Jurassic Park star Jeff Goldblum almost lost his virginity to a prostitute when he was 13 with cash he stole from his father's wallet.
The actor was an awkward school kid who struggled with the opposite sex and decided to give himself a headstart in carnal knowledge by visiting a brothel in his native Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
But after stealing $10 (£6.25) from his dad, walking into the city and locating the red light district friends had raved about, he couldn't go through with the sex act.
Appearing on Monday's (13Feb12) Jimmy Kimmel Live! in America, Goldblum recalled, "We didn't get allowances so I went into my dad's wallet and got, I think, $10 - I thought that would suffice... and then I walked (to this place) after dark with this money in my pocket.
"Sure enough, where I'd heard that there were these places... there was a kind of an alley and a bunch of doorways and it was kind of dark with red lighting... and there was a girl or two hanging out.
"I proceeded to go into one of them and it was kinda dark inside and there were some girls sitting around the living room."
The actor was welcomed by the madam and given the pick of her girls. He picked one and she led him towards a bedroom at the end of a hall.
He added, "Halfway down the hallway, I said, 'Wait a minute, what time is it....? I'm so sorry, I forgot I have to do something. I'll be back...' I just chickened out."
But, in hindsight, The Fly star is glad he didn't lose his virginity to a hooker: "It probably would have scarred me. It probably wouldn't have gone well."
