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.
Recently, McIver returned to the screen on the premiere episode of Bravo’s new show “The People’s Couch.”
On the show, McIver reacted to what he saw onscreen, along with a couple other viewers.
