The 127 Hours actor — who is to host this year's Oscars ceremony alongwith Anne Hathaway — admitted that he appeared in a raunchy home movie.

"I think anybody who has made a home-sex tape knows, what feels best doesn't always look best," Contactmusic website quoted him as saying in a discussion held by Newsweek magazine for potential Oscar-nominees.

The actor said he has a lot of respect for porn performers because he knows from personal experience how hard it is.

"I remember when I was 19 doing that, and then watching it back and thinking, 'Oh, that looks horrible.' You have a lot of respect for those performers in pornography, because they are really not just doing it, they're really selling it."
