Summary

Joshua Broome moved to LA in the mid 2000s in hopes of becoming a famous actor. Despite aiming for the bright lights of success, his initial plans took a dark turn… and changed his life forever. Joshua didn’t find prestige in Hollywood, but he did become one of the top male porn stars in the world. From the outside, it may have seemed like he had it all: having sex for a living and accumulating unbelievable amounts of money. The truth was that Joshua was consumed by shame and emptiness. As time went on, suicide seemed to be the only remedy for how suffocating life had become. On this episode of The Spillover, Joshua opens up to Alex Clark about the dark realities of the porn industry, and how he was ultimately able to escape a sinful lifestyle to find forgiveness and hope in Jesus.
