How 'Friday Night Lights' Star Taylor Kitsch Was Homeless in NYC
  • 7 years ago
Night Lights, but it turns out that at points in his early career, he didn’t have any lights at all.
The actor tells Us Magazine that he was “homeless” for a few weeks in New York City, sleeping in the subway.
After he found shelter, he tells The Daily Beast, “Then I was in an apartment with no electricity or power or hot water for months… I’d take candles my friend’s girlfriend and light the apartment with them. Not Smart… There was no furniture – just a blow up mattress I borrowed from my friend’s girlfriend and I stole a cooking pot from a garage sale to boil chicken.”
Nowadays, Kitsch has starred in True Detective, Lone Survivor, X-Men, and more. He doesn’t have to worry about being homeless any longer, but the 36-year-old has not forgotten his humble beginnings.
