Taylor Kitsch Calls Himself ‘White Trash’???

The True Detective star Taylor Kitsch has come a long way from his humble beginnings, but Taylor Kitsch Calls Himself ‘White Trash’.

Before Taylor starred as John Carter (which we would love to see a sequel to), or battled Aliens in Battleship, the actor used to sleep in subway trains when he was a struggling model.

The 34-year-old actor opened up in an Elle interview about being raised by a single mom in Kelowna, British Columbia, and his struggles when he moved to New York City to model.

Here is what Taylor had to say:

The former “Friday Night Lights” star Kitsch tells the magazine bluntly:

“White trash. Growing up, I really was…Proud of it.”

He was approached by a modeling scout after graduating from high school where he signed with IMG modeling agency in 2002, but his life was far from glamorous.

Taylor explains:

“It’s not like I was this mainstream f–kin’ runway model…I wasn’t working.”

Then hit pretty much rock bottom.

He surprisingly reveals:

“I lived in an apartment in Spanish Harlem with no electricity, and then I lost that, so I’d just catch the blue train.”

“It skips a lot of stops at night, and then it stays up at 181st Street, I think. So I’d sleep there. And the security guy would come on and be like, ‘Get out.’ And I’d get out.”

As for his love life, Kitsch says he’s currently single.

He concludes:

“You sacrifice so f–kin’ much [as an actor]. How do you build a relationship with a gal and then tell her, ‘Hey, I gotta do press all over the world. I expect you to have the same feelings you have now in eight weeks.'”

“And that’s not me playing the violin. It’s my choice. But it better be worth sacrificing for.”
