Julia Fox Teaches the Ladies of “The View” the Secret to Wearing Latex After Opening Up About Dominatrix Past

The actress got candid about working as a dominatrix in a Manhattan dungeon at age 18 during her talk show appearance on Wednesday

Julia Fox is spilling all her style secrets.

During an appearance on The View Wednesday, the actress, 33, opened up about her joy for wearing latex — something that stemmed from her days of working as a dominatrix in a Manhattan dungeon at age 18.

"I loved wearing the latex outfits and really going full dom," she said.

Asked by Ana Navarro if she used talcum powder to get into her latex attire, the Uncut Gems star revealed she doesn't use it anymore after finding a new way to make the process easier for her.

"In the beginning, it was a little harder to pull it on but now I can just do it," said Fox. "But the trick to latex is actually lube. I see a lot of girls wearing latex and they don’t lube up their latex and then it doesn’t have the shine!"

The revelation was one that made the hosts and crowd laugh as Navarro, 51, replied, "Julia, the trick to a lot of things is actually lube." Fox quickly agreed by replying, "Exactly! You need your lube for your latex, ladies."

Sunny Hostin added that she was "learning so much," as Joy Behar joked, "These are the kind of tips you only get on The View."

Prior to her latex revelation, Fox spoke about what she learned from being a dominatrix.

"I think prior to that, I just had really low self-esteem," she shared. "You could tell me I was beautiful and this, but I would always think, ‘They want something from me.’ I was already very jaded, even as a young teenager."

That changed once she started making money off her beauty, something she said she was able to use as "a metric on which I could really measure my worth" (even if she was just making $85 an hour doing it).

She went on to praise the job for inspiring her to be an actor. "A lot of it is role play, a lot of it is cosplay. So really, that’s where eI learned to act," she said, noting how she's have "5 clients in a day and each one of them [would want] something different."

"One wants the mean popular girl in school, one wants a nun, one wants a neglectful mother," Fox said. "I had all the costumes ready."

"That’s 50 Shades of Julia!" joked Navarro.

Fox spoke more about her dominatrix past and shared new details about her life in her new memoir Down the Drain, which is out now. Ahead of its release, she opened up to The New York Times about what she hopes readers will take from her story.

"The book swallowed my life. Everything became book, book, book. I didn’t go out. I didn’t take other jobs. I was doing it for me. It felt really cathartic," she said. "It was really important to be honest and vulnerable."
