BEHIND THE SCENES WITH JAMES DEEN

Don’t let anyone tell you that Eon McKai isn’t a sneaky bastard. Even a fictional hipster like me, Gene Platinum, had no idea that James Deen was one of the principal actors when he showed up. Eon had Deen slip in without any fanfare, and when I gathered some of the extras to talk about how cool Eon McKai was for inviting his friends on the set, I really thought he was one of them. Only he was sitting off in the corner, blankly staring out the window. I didn’t want to invade his space, so I let him be, and talked with the rest of the extras instead. “Do you know him?” I asked, seeing if one somebody knew him and wanted to call him over. “No,” Zoey Stare answered, “he’s just chilling out, I think he’s one of Eon’s friends.” None of us had any idea that in a few short hours, he’d be pulling of a piledriver, and fucking Keiko until she almost passed out.
Every generation of needs an “everyman” for the viewers to relate too. A guy like Ron Jeremy showed that fat and ugly guys could score hot chicks too, and the average schmuck could live vicariously through his success with the ladies. The thing is, Ron Jeremy is an old man now, and most of the male actors are either so slimy or devoid of personality, that girls have been conditioned to block the guy out, but for his cock and its relation to the chick in the scene. It’s pretty much a fact: girls watch porn for the girls; they already know the guys are lame. But wouldn’t they love it if they can watch a cute couple make out and get it on. Wouldn’t it be cool if chicks can live vicariously through the girl as he drools on her pussy and nibbles on her clit. With James Deen they can. He may not be such a rebel, but this emo boy is the Donnie Darko of porn: shy, slightly dark, kinda dorky, and a closet exhibitionist. Deen’s 18 and is ready to make a name for himself.

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CONVERSATION WITH EON LIKE?
Basically he told me that he’s the “Joe Camel of Porn” and he’s trying to get younger actors. I thought it was cool because I was a young guy, I just turned 18, and I know that porn is mainly targeted for guys in their mid to late twenties, to guys in their thirties and up, and I think that we need younger guys to represent.

THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF YOUNGER MALE ACTORS ISN’T THERE?
Sex is natural. All my friends fuck, and they're 18, 19, 20 year-old guys fucking their girlfriends everyday. I was sick of looking at 40 year-old dudes fucking 21 year-old chicks. There’s no plot and no theme except for a guy with a dick and a girl with a pussy going at it, and they’re probably not even having that much fun as they would if they were closer in age. If the guy is into classic rock and the girl is a grunge or emo, how can they connect?

DO YOU NOTICE THAT THERE AREN’T ENOUGH ADULT FILMS FOR NEW ADULTS?
I like the fact that it’s younger people who are of age. If we’re old enough to die in the Army, we’re old enough to fuck on film, and there aren’t many guys my age that could do this. But there needs to be more projects like Eon’s that cater to us. All those Barely Legal things have young girls, but they’re marketed to old men. We need films for the girls and guys of our generation, so we can dig it together.

I SAID YOU COULD BE THE JAKE GYLLENHAAL OF PORN. ARE YOU TRYING TO CHANGE THE MOLD OF THE TYPICAL MALE PERFORMER?
I would love that. I want couples to get together and watch the girl and I have fun. If you just wanna jerk off, you can fast forward; but if you want to have fun and laugh with your friends, this is a cool movie to sit down watch some porn. There are girls watching porno’s and they’re not saying, “Look at that guy he’s hot.” They’re not even paying attention to him.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR “METHOD” TO MINGLING WITH THE EXTRAS?
We had all the extras and they thought I was just another extra. Everyone knew who Keiko was, but I was told to go in the room and relax, and no one else knew I was talent except the hair and make-up. After the classroom scene, I was talking to some of the kids and they were like, “Wait a minute, are you in this thing?” I told them I was and they said, “Can we stay and watch that one too?” I think it’s a fantastic idea, because you have one of their own up there. I was dressed emo and I was acting shy, so for all they knew I was an emo kid, and the next thing they saw was me banging a hot girl. In my opinion, guys or girls can look at it and go, “Look at that goofy guy in the front.”

YOU THINK YOU ARE ENCOURAGING MORE REGULAR GUYS TO DO THIS?
The problem is a lot of regular guys can’t do this, and it’s not even the dick size so much as it’s the nerves; fucking in front of a bunch of people isn’t easy, I just happen to be an exhibitionist and have no shame. I can get a hard on anywhere, and I like when people are staring at me center stage pulling on my dick. I won’t lie though, I’m still new at this and I was a little nervous.

THAT’S BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR FIRST FEATURE, RIGHT?
This is my first feature, and I can’t wait to see it. I watched Kyle and it made me comfortable to watch him, and the way he works. You can’t just “get” hard; it takes a method and a little work. I could cum on demand anytime, so that’s not even the issue, and getting hard isn’t even such a challenge as much as staying hard is.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO GUYS WHO ARE WATCHING?
Try not to stare at my ass crack, it’s kinda hairy! [Laughs] All I am is just proof that anyone who believes in this can do it, all it takes dedication and concentration. If you don’t believe you can come out here and get hard, you won’t be able too; it’s all mental, everything else is easy. Even if you’re watching at home with your girl, just know that all you need is to get a little hard and then the stimulation will come from having sex.

WHAT DO YOU TELL THE GIRLS?
The girls. I just hope you’re watching me more then your watching the other girl, honestly. That would make me happy. I know tons of girls who watch porn, and none of them look at the guys, they all look at the chicks, for all they know the guy’s not even there.

SO YOU WANT THEM TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOU.
Yes I do! I want to be a sex symbol, I wanna be the James Dean of porn; I want to be able to walk down the street and have the girls whisper to one another, “Hey I saw that guy in a movie.” I don’t have an elephant cock or anything, but I have shock value, cuz I’m skinny and I have a fat 8-inch dick. They expect less, but I give them more!
Whaddya say, except for “Cum back to the five and dime Jimmy Deen?”
