Full House Star Blake McIver Reveals He is Now a Male go-go Dancer
His former co-stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have become international stars since finding fame in the hit 90s series Full House.
But for their onetime castmate Blake McIver things are now very different.
For the former child star has revealed he is now working as a male go-go dancer.
Have mercy! Full House star Blake McIver has turned into quite the hunky go-go dancer
You got it dude! The 28-year-old was recognised as Michelle Tanner's (right) frenemy and playmate Derek
The 28-year-old played Michelle Tanner's (The Olsen's) frenemy Derek in the series, and also took the role of Waldo in 1994's The Little Rascals.
But he has traded in his stiff prepster look for a barely clothed, chiseled go-go dancer.
McIver revealed to RumorFix that he started go-go dancing to boost his confidence levels after coming out as gay three years ago.
'I had so much shame about my body,' McIver said, explaining how he suffered from major self-esteem issues.
'This was a way to express myself that was safe, sensual and fun.
'I'm not hiding who I am anymore — not pretending I'm something I'm not.'

The singer/songwriter initially tried to pursue a career as a vocal coach but was having difficulty maintaining a secure income.
So he looked to dancing as another way to make ends meet, and 'in the process, I found it so liberating and empowering,' McIver explained.
'The tips were good. In fact, I raised so much money I was able to finish my record - mission accomplished.'
McIver has also recently returned to TV by starring on the premiere episode of Bravo's new series The People's Couch.
Something is similar... McIver still has the same voluminous hair as he did in his youthful days
