As the world of pornography encroaches upon the mainstream world of entertainment, we find ourselves seeing more and more adult film stars on our televisions and movie screens. Tracy Lords has parlayed a quite famous pornography career and scandal into a major motion picture and television career with guest spots on ROSEANNE and films like CRY BABY under her belt. Some have gone the other route as in John Wayne Bobbitt, and Tony from TEMPTATION ISLAND. Tony did a masturbation video and duo jerk off scene with another man with quite a bit of physical contact between them.
Jenna Jameson is possibly the most famous adult film star. She runs her own production company, decides who she works with and even owns the rights to her films. In a survey taken in the city of Austin, Texas, every single middle aged woman (aged 40 – 55) knew who Jenna Jameson was!!
There are very few gay porn names, however, that can be seen outside of gay porn. One example is Jeff Stryker attempting a recording career after gay porn. And might I say…..OY! And then there is Tommy Hansen who has had an incredible run at BEL AMI, but decided to go beyond that and venture into commercial acting and reality TV. Tommy’s commercial for a German dairy company was pulled when it was discovered he had a gay porn past. And it all came out (so to speak) on the television show “Czech Big Brother” where he was a contestant.
Johnny Hazzard has gotten past the stigma of the phrase ‘gay porn’ and become nothing less than an icon worldwide for his performance in gay adult films.
Certain people who have worked with him in his films have had nothing but kind words to say about Johnny. They say he is kind and considerate as well as professional and giving with other actors and directors. One director in particular said that they would “love to work with Johnny forever and ever” because he is “the model of professionalism and maturity.”
Fans of Johnny’s have said that they feel an instant connection with the star. “He isn’t the typical plastic, gorgeous, West Hollywood gym bunny model,” says one fan in New York City named Jason. “Instead what we get is a natural ruggedness, a handsome man who is comfortable in his skin – a real guy! He looks at the camera and you feel like you are there with him – he knows how to bring you into a scene and a story.”
I was lucky enough to talk with Johnny Hazzard and ask him about his career, his life and some interesting tidbits. And he was actually quite enthusiastic about doing the interview. I had limited time as did Johnny – well, we’re both really busy people!! I had assumed that some of my questions for him would be “old hat” for him. He never gave me that impression at all.
I wanted to know how he got his start in the industry – was it some twisted convoluted route or was he discovered? Actually quite the opposite - it happened quite quickly and out of the blue. “I was in Boston waiting tables and craving a change,” Johnny told me. “I woke up one day and put in a tape to ‘start my morning off’ and it came to me that I could do porn to have some fun and put some extra cash in my pocket.” Well, Johnny already had an inside contact in the industry so he called in a favour. He sent in a photo and within a couple of hours Johnny was on the phone with Chi Chi LaRue.
