Prior to starting his acting career on "All My Children," Mark Consuelos took to the stripper's pole to make ends meet. The decision, if you really think about it, was actually a rather genius idea on Consuelos' part. Using his chiseled good looks and Herculean build to his benefit, it's no doubt that Consuelos excelled during his short stint on the pole. In fact, don't even take our word for it — take it from Candace Yowell, a former club goer in the 1990s who recalled Consuelos' jaw-dropping performances.
After unearthing a picture of her and friends alongside Consuelos (affectionately dubbed "Meaty Mark" at the time) and company from the '90s, Yowell reminisced that "It was always fun in that bar" and that "[t]he guys all had their own little, sexy individual dances and they also danced together as a group" (via the Daily Mail). Yowell also noted that Consuelos "wasn't famous" yet and "was just one of the strippers in banana hammocks" at the time. In the photograph, the actor is pictured bronzed and rocking a youthful glow alongside several other dancers and women.
Yowell then recalled how the strippers would "walk around the bar and you'd put money in their g-strings" before performing some R-rated actions on the club goers themselves. You would imagine that this would leave a sour taste in wife Kelly Ripa's mouth, but what exactly does Consuelos' famous wife make of his stripper past? Keep reading to find out!
