Many might remember him as Derek Boyd -- part of Michelle Tanner's clique on Full House -- but now Blake McIver Ewing (who goes by Blake McIver now) is all grown up and has opened up about his life as a go-go dancer.

The 28-year-old Little Rascals actor told Rumor Fix he ditched his signature blazer, dress shirt and tie, for a work wardrobe consisting of underwear and knee high socks.

"I'm not embarrassed," he said. "I have worked as a go go boy over the past year."

He revealed that he came out of the closet three years ago about being gay and working as a go-go dancer in a gay club helped him with his transition.

"I had so much shame about my body. This was a way to express myself that was safe, sensual and fun," he said. "I'm not hiding who I am anymore - not pretending I'm not something I'm not. The tips were good. In fact, I raised so much money, I was able to finish my record -- mission accomplished."

His solo album, I Wish I Didn't Need You, is set to be released Nov. 5.
