You might remember Blake McIver from his turn as Derek on “Full House” or as Waldo in the 1994 movie “The Little Rascals.” But these days, 28-year-old McIver, formerly McIver Ewing, is working as a professional go-go dancer.

The buff former child actor told RumorFix that he came out as gay three years ago and began go-go dancing to help with self-esteem issues.

“I had so much shame about my body,” McIver said. “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,” he continued.

McIver raised enough money in tips to finish his upcoming record, too.

The hunk came out of the closet three years ago, and started go-go dancing as a way of expressing himself and building self-esteem.
