Why James Van Der Beek had a VHS copy of the gay porn flick “Dawson’s Crack” in his suitcase
James Van Der Beek is probably happy the time gay porn was found in his luggage was before the days of TMZ and such things going viral.
When the 38-year-old actor was starring in Dawson’s Creek, he landed the lead in the 2002 film The Rules of Attraction – a film which, by the way, included a kissing scene between him and Ian Somerhalder.
Here’s how he got caught with gay porn: ‘I was doing Rules of Attraction, and the hair and makeup department got me a copy of the Dawson’s Crack porn movie as a gag gift,’ the actor tells Vulture. ‘It was on VHS, that’s how long ago that was, and I thought it was hilarious.’
He decided to share it with his Dawson’s Creek co-stars when he returned to the set of the show which was shot in North Carolina.
‘I couldn’t wait to bring it back and show everybody in North Carolina and say, “We’ve made it! Look at us. They’ve made a porno out of us.”‘
Then airport security stepped in.
‘This was right after 9/11, and I get flagged by security, and somebody opened up the suitcase, and there’s a gay porno right on top,’ he remembers. ‘Not just any gay porno, but one based on the show that I was on. Which is kind of excellent.’
Van Der Beek is now one of the leads in the new CBS series CSI: Cyber which premiered last week.
