Percy Foster, 35, who is a dead-ringer for the UK celebrity chef, was found by Ministry of Agriculture staff ahead of a planned badger-eradication programme near Tregaron, west Wales, British tabloid Sunday Sport reported.
According to the paper, Mr Foster was clothed but had been "partially gnawed" by animals.
Adult movie producer Dexter Yamunkeh told Sunday Sport the actor was a "little guy with big problems".
"He was doing well but he was under pressure, 24/7, like everyone in this goddamned business."
