ACTORS STUDIO HOST LIPTON WAS A PIMP IN FRANCE




JAMES LIPTON, the host of the talk show INSIDE THE ACTORS STUDIO, once worked as a pimp in Paris, France.
The revered TV presenter, who has sat down with Hollywood’s biggest names for in-depth chats about their life and work over the last 13 years, has revealed he once procured clients for French hookers.

He says, "This was when I was very very young, living in Paris, penniless, unable to get any kind of working permit… I had a friend who worked in what is called the Milieu, which is that world and she suggested to me one night, `Look, you’ll be my pimp.
"We were earning our living together, this young woman and I, we made a rather good living, I must say." Lipton reveals in his new book Inside Inside he would set up sex shows for clients of his lady friend.
