He’s been a porn star, barista, DJ and male escort — now Warwick Capper has boasted of the millions of dollars he’s raked in over his colourful career.

Former AFL star Warwick Capper has boasted of the millions he’s raked in across a career spanning footy, porn, escort work and coffee.

In a typically eccentric performance on the You Cannot Be Serious podcast, Capper claimed he banked more than $1 million for shooting a porn film with his former girlfriend.

“I went out with a stripper who was 24 and I was 46, I was the same age as her father. I said we’ll just put a camera there have some fun, put some lingerie on and see what happens … I picked up $1.3 million and gave her $10 grand,” he said.

The former Sydney and Brisbane forward also boasted to hosts Mike Sheahan, Sam Newman and Don Scott of his lucrative work at bucks parties and as a male escort.

“I do bucks nights, I charge them $2000 for an hour,” Capper said.

“I went a bit further and thought, I can be an escort, doesn’t mean I’m going to have sex with you, I’ll date you — that’s going to cost $4000 an hour — and I go out for dinner and whatever happens happens.

“If I play hide the sausage that’s going to be another three (thousand dollars). But you’ve got to be reasonably good looking.”

Scott replied: “When we’ve finished this interview can you pick my jaw back up off the ground?”

“I’ve got to get your ratings up a bit — that’s what happened,” Capper said.

Capper also said he has tried his hand in the wine business: “Capper Shiraz, they sell for $75.99, I get them from Dan Murphy’s for $3, put my own label on”.

And as a barista: “Cappercino van, had two of those, picked up half a mil for that.”

Capper said his footy career kicked off his fortune, with the $2.4 million he was paid to move to the Brisbane Bears.

“I bought four houses and a Lambo — thanks Christopher (Skase).”

In a wide-ranging interview, Capper also revealed he had taken recreational drugs before a game.

“They were like pseudoephedrine speed,” he said.

“I kicked six the first half, by three quarter time I was very, very tired and emotional. I don’t recommend it.”

Capper also referenced his controversial appearances on the Fifi, Fev & Byron show on Fox FM, where Brendan Fevola recently hit the dump button to censor Capper.

“Tune in 8:10 Friday mornings … it will soon be called the Wiz, Byron and Fifi Box show — there’s no Fev, he kicked 99 goals and choked.”
