Gio goes Below The Belt with Gay Porn’s Hottest New Star Brad Star

 Return to Index

With his amazing blue eyes, gregarious personality and overt sex appeal, it is no wonder that Brad Star has become one of today’s most sought after porn stars.  I sat down with Brad moments after he arrived from LA shooting for Titan Media.  Brad came to my home for his interview, photo shoot and some R&R prior to heading out for his next shoot for Falcon Studios.  He arrived in a pair of loose fitting jeans and a t-shirt which accentuated his 5’11” frame.  He is a laid back young man who appears to be very level headed with a keen sense of self.  I sat down with him for the following revealing, funny and dynamic interview.  

 

GIO     Brad thanks for meeting with me and welcome back to Fort Lauderdale.  I understand you just returned from California today, where you were filming your 2nd film for Titan Media …tell me about this new film. 

BS      This film is called Spy Quest 2 and I play a Double Agent.  Basically I get Intel on a bad guy and end up placing a bomb in his car to be blown up in the future.   

 

GIO     Interesting...I assume playing a Double Agent will give you a lot of dialogue in this film. 

BS      Yeah…They like to use me for dialogue because I can actually act (laughs). 

GIO     A porn star who can act, what a concept! (Both laugh)  No offense…to all those amazing porn “actors” that have come before you.  Of course this is a Titan film and that means one thing…totally hot sex!  Tell me about your sex scene. 

BS      (Big smile) basically, the scene is me and this other guy doing surveillance stuff in our special operations office.  I am sitting at a computer and he is supposed to be looking at surveillance pictures on his radar screen, but he is watching porn instead.  I end up getting mad and saying something like “how are we supposed to get any work done with you watching that”…he then pulls his cock out and starts’ stroking it…and it then escalates from there…you will have to get the film to see the rest... (Big Grin) 

GIO     Sounds hot!  So, this is your first official interview as a porn star? 

BS      Yeah, this is cool...it is all still very new to me.   

 

GIO     What made you decide to pursue doing gay porn? 

BS      I put an ad on www.sexyjobs.com and ended up being contacted by a recruiter named Mike and he came to meet me in Newark, New Jersey.  We talked about the porn industry and he booked me with CashModels in Florida when Edward James (Owner) decided to fly me down for a test shoot.  The first thing I did was a Solo and then Edward cast me in a movie for JackRabbit Releasing called Hotel Hookup.  This all started in February of this year and over the past couple months I have been getting booked in a lot more stuff. 

GIO     That is an interesting way to get discovered…so you woke up one morning and decided to put your ad on a site in hopes of getting into porn? 

BS      Not really, I actually put the ad on the site for escorting and regular modeling work.  It wasn’t until after I was contacted by CashModels that I decided to take my career in the porn direction.

GIO     Gotcha, so you were an Escort prior to this, are you still escorting? 

BS      No, actually I never was an Escort.  I only did it one time and it really was not for me.  Before putting the ad up, I was dancing at a club called Bunkhouse in Long Island and a couple other clubs.  I decided I wanted to see where else I could make money based on my looks.  The one time I did Escort I did not even have to do anything sexually, it lasted about 45 minutes and I mainly had to just talk to the guy and strip down for him to look at me.  So, it was not all that bad, but basically I decided it was not for me. 

GIO     OK, so you were never really and escort…but I imagine you did pretty well as a dancer… 

BS      Yeah, I enjoy performing live in front of people.   

GIO     Cool…You have only been doing porn since February and you have already worked with the biggest names in the industry.  The buzz about you is tremendous and it looks like you will have an excellent career in this business.  Tell the readers which studios you have shot for since starting. 

BS      Well thank you for the kind words Gio.  As I said, I started with CashModels and they shot me for JackRabbit Releasing’s, Hotel Hookup.  I then did a shoot for D&E productions called Got Fuk’d which is being released November 18th (this week…to view the trailer click here) and I appear on the box cover.  

After I shot those films CashModels and FabScout Entertainment joined forces to represent me to the industry in an exclusive talent management deal I made with them.   Howard Marr, who owns FabScout, is my Talent Manager and he has been booking me with Titan Media, Falcon Studios, Lucas Entertainment, Randy Blue and Massive Studios.  I leave again tomorrow for my 2nd Falcon shoot in San Francisco.  The first film I did for Falcon was directed by John Bruno, who was great to work with…as was everyone else on that set. That film is called Trapped.  The one I am flying out to do tomorrow is called Big Dick Club.  

Titan Media has been awesome to work for as well. So far I have done two films for them Spy Quest 2, which I told you about and my first film with them is being released on December 27th.  The first film I did for Titan Media is called Sexual Side Effects with Damon DeMarco.  It is about a psychologist talking to his patient about his repressed memories, recurring sexual dreams, and fantasies. My scene is a dream sequence about being trapped underground. I also shot a scene for their Manplay 23 which will be out Spring of next year. My manager is finalizing a deal for me to be in a Massive Studios film which will also be directed by John Bruno.  So…ummm…

GIO     (Interrupting) Wow!  You really have made a big splash into the porn world!  Big Dick Club huh?  Well you do fit that mold (both laugh) Do you think having Howard as your Talent Manager has helped you? 

BS      First I have to say that Howard is a great guy and I consider him a friend as well.  To me it is important to like the people you work closest with.  Plus, I hear there are some very odd people in this industry who are managers and agents and Howard has shown himself to be one of the good ones.  Having him makes it a lot easier on me as the talent/model.  He handles all the up-front negotiation for me with the studio or producer and makes sure I am getting the best deal for my work.  With him there are a lot of laughs and stuff throughout the process…but when it comes to business, he is on top of his game. He makes sure I know exactly what is going on with the shoot and what is expected of me before I get there.  He also communicates with me daily and gives advice as to how to make my career better.  For example, I was offered an exclusive contract with Lucas Entertainment early on in my porn work.  I really did not know what a studio exclusive meant, and Howard was able to explain it to me.  He pointed out the pros and cons of a studio exclusive arrangement and allowed me to make the final decision on my own.  I ended up not going exclusive because I wanted to explore my options in this industry and I felt it was too early to be exclusive with just one studio.  However, down the road, if a studio makes me an offer I can’t refuse, I would re-consider.  Working with Howard is great…he gets me work, gets me money, keeps me focused and makes me laugh. 

GIO     That is great!  What other plans do you and your manager have for the future? 

BS      Once the movies start hitting the market, we are going to work on a live appearance tour throughout the U.S.  I will also have my own website in the next couple months called www.BradStarxxx.com  it is being designed by CashModels and FabScout for me as part of my exclusive management deal with them.  I plan on taking some time off from shooting in mid January and focus on the website and live appearances.  I do not want to be too overexposed in the movies…I think it is important to keep fans wishing for more rather than giving too much too fast.  I also had a fan approach me the other day named Scott and he asked if he could start an online fan-club for me.  Of course I was flattered and said yes. He will be launching that soon for the fans.  If anyone wants to Email me, I can be reached at BradStar@FabScout.com  

GIO     Well it sure sounds like you will be busy over the next few months.  Will you be appearing live in South Florida? 

BS      After I finish this shoot for Falcon, I am going back to New Jersey and then I am moving down here to Fort Lauderdale.  I am going to be appearing live at Cupids Cabaret in West Palm Beach when I come back and I will be hosting a Hot Body Contest at Boardwalk Bar this winter.  I do not know the exact dates yet …as soon as they are set, I will let you know. 

GIO     Great!  I am glad to hear you will be living down here.  I understand you were also just in Detroit with CashModels doing a talent search and shooting more content for JackRabbit Releasing?  How was that? 

BS      Yeah, we held a Hot Body Contest at the Male Box nightclub up there and I was one of the judges as well as a host for the event with CashModels.  Overall it went very well and we were able to pick up a few new models that were pretty hot.  I ended up shooting two 1-on-1 scenes for the new film called Fall Fling for JackRabbit.  I play the football jock in that film.  

GIO     Tell me where your porn name came from? 

BS      (Laughing) well, I guess I look like a Brad…at least I was told that… and my star tattoos gave me the last name. 

 

GIO     Tell me about your star tattoos and their significance. 

BS      Well I was in the Navy and was in California for two years.  A lot of the guys had star tattoos, because that was a very big “California” thing to do when getting a tattoo.  I decided to do something different…rather than put them on my arm, chest or back, like everyone else, I put them on my lower waist line.  They are nautical stars since I was in the Navy and I plan on adding an eight pointed star in the center with lighting that connects all the stars together.  I plan on putting more stars on my body, I just have not decided where and when yet. 

GIO     Very nice…they are sexy tattoos and they certainly help with your porn identity.  Since coming on the scene earlier this year, you have been in pretty big demand by some of the biggest names in gay porn production…what do you think gives you your star quality? 

BS      Ummm…What gives me my star quality? (Gazing upward) Hmmmm…Well I think it is my ability to get along with everybody and I work well with people.  I do not criticize or say too much while on the set and I am a pretty cooperative type of guy.  I can act and speak well on camera, so I know the studios like that about me.  I also think they like my look and I have a very high energy when I am working.  They tell me I am very outgoing and friendly and I do not have a negative attitude or anything like that.  So basically, I am not an asshole or stuck up (Laughing). 

GIO     If I were to ask your two closest friends what your best qualities would be, what would they tell me? 

BS      They would say to you that I am very friendly and outgoing.  I like to meet new people and I am fun to hang out with.  They will also say that when we walk down the street, people whistle at me (Laughing) and that drives them crazy (more laughter)! 

GIO     Well your look does turn heads I am sure! What would they say is your bad quality? 

BS      There is a bad quality? (Big Laughter) No really, I do not think I have a really bad quality…I am just a…all out… overall good person.  Sure there are little things I can improve on, but nothing major that would make people think badly about me.   

GIO     Besides porn, what else are you passionate about in life? 

BS      I am very passionate about cars!  I like taking exports and fixing them up.  I like aggressive in-line skating and playing on my computer.  I enjoy spending time with my cat and soon to be my dog too. I am adopting a Chihuahua when I move down here.  I actually traveled with my cat the first time I came down here for a porn shoot. 

GIO     (Laughing) so you are like the Paris Hilton of porn…traveling with your pet. 

BS      (Big Laugh) Kind of yea…but NO!  I do not have the sparkly travel purse (laughing) and rather than a diamond necklace on my dog’s neck, he will have a harness. 

GIO     Hmmm, an S&M Dog (laughter)  

BS      (laughing) something like that.  I am buying my dog from Scott, who is the guy starting my fan club down here.  He is my neighbor in the place I am living at until I get my own place down here. 

GIO     Cool…Where did you grow up? 

BS      I am a Jersey Boy!  I grew up in a town called Roxbury and lived there my whole life.  It was only 40 minutes from the city, so it was a cool place. 

GIO     Well you have a very dynamic personality, not to mention amazing looks, were you very popular in high school? 

BS      I was the guy who was friends with everybody in high school.  There was some crap that went around about me and a lot of people did not like me for some reason…and I still do not know what that was all about.  I had a lot of friends though…I guess.  All through high school I played Hockey, Lacrosse and Football.  There were a lot of girls that had a crush on me (and some guys too I am sure), but I did not date much. 

GIO     When was your first gay contact? 

BS      Well I consider myself bi-sexual, but my fist gay contact was a little over a year ago with one of my friends who apparently had a crush on me and I did not know it.  He actually offered me money to have sex with him…I was not sure about the whole thing.  But, he needed the “booty call” and I needed cash, so I did it.  After that, he would call me up from time-to-time and we would play.  My real first experience with a gay friend was when I was in the Navy.  My friend and I met in boot camp in Pensacola, Florida and ended up being stationed at the same place.  He and I developed a great friendship and he confided in me that he was gay.  We never had sex with each other, but we are still very good friends to this day.  I told him I was doing gay porn a few weeks ago and he actually wants copies of my movies when they are released (laughs).  I think of him like a brother and we will be buddies for a very long time. 

GIO     Do you think it was a missed opportunity with your friend since you are now having sex with guys and back then you were not? 

BS      No, not at all…it is probably better that we didn’t because we are still close friends now.  That friendship probably would not have been as strong if we had played around with each other back then.  As I said, I truly am bi-sexual.  I prefer to be with a woman for a dating relationship and I like sex with guys based on the physical relationship only.  I do not think I could be in a relationship with a guy for a long period. 

GIO     I think it is great that you have maintained that friendship and you are right that friends are very important in our lives.  I am sure there will be a few men out there that will be sad to hear they could never have a serious relationship with you though… 

BS      Never say never man. 

GIO     Good answer (He smiles) Does you family know you are performing in porn? 

BS      Yes, I told my mother and brother and they are both supportive of it. 

GIO     That is great that you are open with your family.  You have a very nice physique; do you hit the gym a lot? 

BS      (Laughing loud) People hate it when I tell them this, but I do not work out.  I am lucky; this is natural (looking at his body).  The last time I was in the gym was over a year ago.  However, I am planning on joining and hitting the gym hard when I move down here and see if I can build more muscle on top of what I already have. 

GIO     OK…I hate you now!  Damn, I cannot believe you look like that and do not have to work out.  How old are you? 

BS      I am 21 and as I said, I am going to start working out.  My manager and I are going to go to the gym together, he wants me to get more toned, bigger and more buff.  And he needs to trim down…so we can motivate each other. 

GIO     Well hopefully you will be able to stick to it when you start.  When speaking about gay sex earlier, I felt compelled to ask you what your favorite sexual activity is…what turns you on? 

BS      Umm, I really do not know.  I do not have one thing in particular that really turns me on.  I really like a great BJ and that really gets me going if they can take me all the way down.  (Note:  Brad is 9½ “ hard!) 

GIO     That is not an easy task with your equipment (both laugh) Lights on or off during sex? 

BS      Am I with a Man or woman? 

GIO     You tell me… 

BS      If it is with a guy and he is totally hot looking, dim lights work for me.  If it is a hot girl, lights on. 

GIO     Boxers or briefs? 

BS      Briefs or commando. But the briefs have to be American Eagle.

GIO     Why American Eagle? 

BS      Their clothes are the only ones that I have found that really fit me well.  I can walk in the store and know exactly what I am getting and they have what I want.  I love their jeans, shirts, underwear, socks…and I have almost every necklace they have made.  Hopefully I will get some for my birthday which is coming up soon… 

GIO     When is your birthday? 

BS      November 17th … next week. 

GIO     Happy Pre-Birthday!  OK, so what size briefs do you wear in case some of the readers want to get you a gift? 

BS      (Laughing) medium briefs and small T-shirts.   

GIO     Ultimately, where do you want to see your porn career go? 

BS      I want it to be very successful.  I wouldn’t mind being as well known as Ron Jeremy

GIO     Or should we say, the male Jenna Jammeson (she is more modern)…you are much better looking than Ron Jeremy and your dick is just as big. 

BS      (Laughing) I also want to shoot some straight and bi-sexual porn as well.  So I want to be an all around adult performer. 

GIO     Well that is ambitious for sure.  Obviously you enjoy doing the work. 

BS      Yes, it is fun.  I used to be a plumber and this is a hell of a lot better than doing that! 

GIO     (Laughing) Well you are still draining pipes and plugging holes! 

BS      (Bigger laughter) Yes, and these pipes and holes are much more fun! 

GIO     What else do you want to share with your fans? 

BS      If you see me out and about, do not hesitate to say hello.  As I said before, I really like people and I do not mind if you stop me to say hi.  I have no issue with being recognized and I do not have an attitude. 

GIO     That is good to know.  I appreciate you taking time for this interview between your shoots for Titan and Falcon.  I wish you continued success my friend… 

BS      Thank you Gio, it was great man and I look forward to hanging with you again when I get settled in down here!  Now can I get in the hot-tub? 

GIO     Of course, and we will get a few hot photos for the fans.

Raging Stallion Studios Opens European Division

 Return to Index
 

San Francisco / Sydney based Raging Stallion Studios announced November 11th the opening of an office in Paris and the appointment of Taurus Dean to head up the company's expanding European operations.

Raging Stallion has had self distribution in Europe for the past two years and presently is one of the top U.S. companies working on the continent. Current European operations include distribution, casting, development, production, broadcasting, and marketing. France, one of Europe's main erotic markets, is the main focus of Raging Stallion's European activity, although strong distribution has also been built in England, Holland, Spain, Germany, Russia, Finland, Denmark, and Italy. Raging Stallion's main website, www.Ragingstallion.com , will soon have a French translation to support direct sales to French speaking areas of the world.

Raging Stallion has a strong commitment to French actors, and has worked with all the major male models in France, including Francois Sagat, Taurus, Gerald, Matthew Paris, Fred Faurtin, and 6 other new exclusives. Remy Delaine, the Raging Stallion 2005 Man of the Year, is also French, but lives in Australia. Company president and head of production Chris Ward noted that he has long admired the men of France: "The films of Cadinot are a real inspiration to me and the models available in France really are some of the hottest in the world. They have that great blend of Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Northern European genes that produce pure beauty and an exciting sex energy!"

Taurus Dean, one of the main personalities in the French Gay Erotic world, originally came to Raging Stallion as an actor, but soon became a key production manager and director. He took over as head of French distribution in 2004 and quickly made Raging Stallion the most sought after US company in France, working with IEM and other distributors, magazines, and television networks to raise the company's profile. He also used his extensive contacts in Paris to set up a network for model recruitment that focuses on bars and clubs (such as Le Depot and Raid). Taurus discoveries are flown to San Francisco for filming. Said Taurus with a delightful French accent, "We are excited about bring the experience of the American porn industry to France and bringing the excitement of French models to US customers. The energy of a hot, uncut French stud, combined with excellent lighting and production values, has the chance to be some of the hottest porn ever filmed. Raging Stallion has a great reputation in France and French guys love our movies! There is a real excitement in the air!"

One important thing that Chris Ward has focused on is raising the model fees paid to French actors. Many US companies try to bring in European models at cut rates, exploiting weaker European rates in an effort to reduce production costs. Raging Stallion, a company formed by models (Chris Ward, JD Slater, and Michael Brandon) is committed to thwarting blatant exploitation of French talent. A series of ads will be run in French Magazines (Tetu, Gay Video, etc) to inform potential French actors that when working for an American company they should be paid at least $1000 per scene--especially for hardcore action such as fisting. Ward commented that "one big company was actually offering only $400 per scene for fisting! This is the kind of thing that gives our industry a bad reputation. We are working in France for the long term and we intend to support French actors just as much as we support the guys we work with here in the States."

Raging Stallion has expanded production to 24 major titles per year. Look for new releases every two weeks for the rest of 2005.

Here are a few of the HOT French Men that can be seen in Raging Stallion Films

Speaking of fisting, Raging Stallion has just released its newest film entitled Working Man’s Hands (part two of the already notorious Construction Zone Trilogy!).  Working Man’s Hands, like Blue Collar Butthole before it, is an over-the-top, action packed, in-your-face, and up-your-hole extravaganza designed for one single purpose—to get you off as only Raging Stallion can!  Chris Ward has once again delivered another outstanding film and it is no wonder he is considered one of today’s best directors!

 

I personally have never been much into fisting movies, but this film may well have changed my mind for this fetish (Well…at least as a voyeur).  The film is totally hot and the men are breathtaking in their sexual appetite and energy. And, if you are a fan of Sounding, you are in for a treat!  This is the first time I have watched someone do sounding without grimacing.  I was totally enthralled watching Steve Cannon work over his meat with a long silver rod and then nailing his cock to a board through his Prince Albert hole!  The chemistry between these men is amazing and you can tell that they were all truly into each other while shooting.  If you are a fan of fisting films, this latest from Raging Stallion will surely satisfy your carnal urges.  Allow me to introduce you to the cast of this raunchy festival of man flesh…
