Isn't this sort of career exhausting physically, spiritually? Doesn't he sometimes wish he'd picked another calling? No indeed. He will not dress as a clown and have sex with someone nor will he permit someone dressed as a clown to have sex with him.
Is there anything he won't do on-camera? He will not have sex with someone who is unwilling to have sex with him. His erections are 100 percent organic and pharma-free.Ī good portion of Deen's oeuvre consists of rather not-nice stuff: spitting, whipping, choking, slapping, etc. Deen claims, incredibly, to never have had a test come back "dirty."ĭoes he gobble Viagra like popcorn? Certainly not. Gosh, but mustn't Deen have an astonishing collection of venereal diseases? He and his colleagues undergo testing every month. I will be riding shotgun in Deen's utterly bitching pumpkin orange off-road-package Ford F-150 Raptor, watching him work, and trying to make sense of his extraordinary life.
Over the next seven days, Deen will exercise his full array of talents and preferences on seven projects in three cities-Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. I want to see dirty, nasty: Rocco Siffredi"-an Italian porn star known for full-contact choreographies in which he dragoons pretty ladies into tonguing his caboose. When I'm watching adult, I don't care about the lighting. "As far as making visually stimulating erotic cinema, Digital Playground's pretty much the best," says Deen. The shoot is for a company called Digital Playground, which claims to specialize in "high-end" pornography for couples-"vanilla porn," as hard-raunch aficionados dub DP's output. The house's real-life owner, one supposes, is a fabulously well-to-do 14-year-old.īut today the mansion's fictive owner is James Deen himself, who has been cast in the role of a priapic millionaire with a gambling problem. The game room, which is as big as my house, contains dartboards, a pool table, and a saloon area with a neon sign reading ICE CREAM fid above the mirrored back bar. Its dominant interior materials are faux gilt, beveled glass, and plastic flora. "i would totally rock your world.mind you im 16 about to be 17."ĭeen brakes his truck at the bottom of a steep gated driveway,** **which leads to a sprawling mansion that looks made of nougat. (Anchor Terry Moran: "For any parent concerned about what their teen does online, the huge popularity of the young man you are about to meet may be deeply disturbing.") A recent Nightline segment alerted parents to Deen's crossover appeal among teenage girls, who, the piece warned, hold for Deen a place in their hearts alongside Timberlake and Bieber.
According to Deen, 10,000 unique visitors peruse his blog every day. Industry plaudits aside, Deen has managed an order of renown far rarer in the world of pornographic film: He is a male performer people actually know by name. In 2009, when he was 23, the Adult Video News (AVN) Awards, pornography's Oscars, named Deen "Male Performer of the Year." (Deen was one of the youngest actors ever to be so decorated.) This on the heels of a similar distinction from the X-Rated Critics Organization, which in 2007 noted the arrival of a major talent with an "Unsung Swordsman" award.
If Deen betrays not a trace of anticipation, aversion, or excitement at the prospect of having sex on-camera today, it is because having sex on-camera is something the 26-year-old does more frequently than most of us use dental floss: "About 360 days a year" is Deen's offhand tally.ĭeen's professional relentlessness has yielded a host of accolades. It is a clement spring day in greater Los Angeles, and James Deen is driving through the soft green tumescences of the Calabasas hills on his way to a pornographic-movie shoot.
