Ron Jeremy may have officially passed John Holmes as the greatest and most famous male porn star in history. If Time Magazine is catching on to the cultural phenomenon that is hipster Ron J worship, then maybe it's time to crown him...
Here are excerpts from the epic and exciting tale of one Ron Hyatt, some waiter dude from Queens who worked in the Catskills and has always had the world's worst mustache. Apparently, he has been in an adult film or two, and got his start by taking daguerreotypes of his wang and sending them to Playgirl by intercontinental pony express, which may have been illegal.
[When] people looked up R. Hyatt in Queens... they were
getting my grandmother, Rose Hyatt, who lived downstairs. My poor
grandmother was being woken up night and day, mostly by guys. Playgirl likes to think that their audience is mostly women, but no, no, the majority is gay. My poor grandma had to move.
I wasn't getting the liftoff as quickly as they did. It was
embarrassing. It's funny because now, years later when I am not taking
Viagra and the other guy does, I am still slow to the punch.
We were
up in the Catskills, and I had a very good sex life, to the point where
when I was once late to dinner and told the maitre d' I was with a
girl. He said, and I remember his exact words, "Anybody else I would
forgive but with you it's like brushing your teeth. You're late; you're
being docked pay."
I just loved acting, doing dialogue. All my friends were still doing
theater off-off-Broadway and I was doing film. Yes it's porn, but it
still goes into theaters. They still had acting back then. They had big
scripts. There were no videos back then, no DVDs, no Internet. I came
at a time they called the Golden '80s.
Most of them had been to college. Some have come from broken homes,
some from abusive homes. What I tell kids when I lecture in colleges is
that porn is largely a microcosm of Hollywood itself. There were kids
who wanted to do something goofy and crazy. Some were actors who wanted
to go for an acting career, like me, and settled for this...
I just did [a porno] a few days ago, a benefit for a great New York director
who has serious colon cancer. We all did a free porn film. I did a sex
thing with a sweet girl named Candy, she's actually here because we did
a scene and she is staying over. (Giggling in the background.)
Here's the rest.
