WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE AN ACTOR WORKING IN THE GAY ADULT INDUSTRY? WHO ARE THESE GUYS? WHAT DRIVES THEM, WHAT DO THEY DREAM OF, WHAT ARE THEIR FANTASIES? HOW DIFFICULT IS THIS BUSINESS? BEAUTIFULMAG HAS SPOKEN TO MANY OF THEM OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. SPECIALLY FOR OUR 2009 SEX EDITION WE CONTACTED THREE DIFFERENT ACTORS WHO HAVE AT LEAST THREE THINGS IN COMMON: THEY ARE ALL FRENCH, THEY ARE ALL INTERNATIONAL SUCCESSFUL AND THEY ARE ALL HOT.
Fred Faurtin, Vin Costes, Ludovic Canot. Three very different men, all active in the international porn industry. Maybe you already know them, maybe not. If not, we guarantee you that that is about to change, because after today you will for sure want to know more about these gentlemen. BeautifulMag composed a small list of questions which we asked to all three of them. The same questions, very different answers, creating a most original ménage à trois … enjoy…
FRED FAURTIN. Sexy Fred Faurtin has been working in the gay porn industry for several years already. He has made name as the icon of the Berlin based studio Cazzo, but can also be admired in productions from Liquid London, Bulldog, Titan, Raging Stallion, Eurocreme, Alphamales and several other independent companies. Fred has all the right attributes to be successful in the industry, including a killer smile.
What does it take to become / be successful in the international gay adult industry?
Fred: Well, I never though about how I could be a big porn star... I started in the porn industry just for fun! Without a business plan... After a few scenes studios asked me more and more, from Europe to the US. It was exciting for me to do and I discovered a new life. I heard a lot of things about me, the first one is that I'm no so shy!
What is the next fantasy you’d like to realize, and with who?
Fred: One of my big fantasy would be to have a sex scene with twins! I'm really fascinated by the Gemini, and I'm sure it will be incredible exciting to fuck someone who fucks you at the same time... Unfortunately there are not so much gay twins porn star... Is it possible to clone the sexy Aitor Crash? (he's one of my other fantasies!).
Working in gay porn is probably not something you can do forever. How do you see your life after your modeling career?
Fred: Of course! And after six years in the business, I’m already starting to find other ways. I have written books about the music industry and I have created my own publishing company to sell them. And with my company I also sell my movies, as you can see on my website. Once again I have partnered with my boyfriend. He's always near me!
Please describe the scene you have best memories of.
Fred: It's difficult to have one and only one scene in memory... I've at least 2! One was with Darren Robbins in Kolbenfresser (CAZZOFILM), because it was my first one and we definitely had a good feeling together. The scene took 6 hours... and it was not enough! The second one was in Fanatics (CAZZOFILM), the movie directed by my boyfriend Gil Nemo. My scene with Christian Herzog was fantastic, really intense!
If you could be a super hero, who would you be (and why)?
Fred: I'm not so much into super heroes and comics. But I saw The Fantastic Four few weeks ago and I think I could be Johnny Storm, the Human Torch. Chris Evans, who plays the role, is not too muscular - just enough - and he's that cold beauty who can be really hot..! I would like to have that kind of image.
VIN COSTES. Born and raised in the French Riviera and lived in Saint-Tropez until the age of 24, Vin Costes moved to London and Rome before finally settling in Paris. Funny enough we met Vin in New York. Vin started his modeling at the top. His first film was shot by Titan only one year ago. Since then he has been working with Raging Stallion, Chi Chi Larue and Michael Lukas, and will soon embark on another exciting adventure at the Falcon Studios.
What does it take to become / be successful in the international gay adult industry?
VIN: To become successful in this industry you have to work really hard. Go to the gym on a regular basis and watch your diet. You also have to be professional. By professional I mean you got to learn how you get ready before you do a scene. We(models) all have our "must do" before we shoot. You learn a lot about yourself, your body and how you can give the best of you.
What is the next fantasy you’d like to realize, and with who?
Vin: I am into Black guys and Latinos, I like dark features, and so far I have only had scenes with white guys... But my ultimate fantasy would be to work for/with Julian Rios. A bisexual scene with him would be great. He is VERY hot and totally my type.
Working in gay porn is probably not something you can do forever. How do you see your life after your modeling career?
Vin: I have done many different things in my life before I start porn (fireman, real estate, salesman, bartender). I also speak Spanish and English fluently. I am also a musician (Conservatoire de Musique de Toulon). I am very flexible and a positive person. I don't want to rely on porn and am ready to work hard to get the job of my dreams...
Please describe the scene you have best memories of.
Vin: It was for Raging Stallion. My scene partner was Charlie Fabravo ("Centurion Muscle 5 MAXIMUS"). We both were staying in this Motel in San Francisco, in separate rooms and 2 days before our scene I decided to meet him... We spent a lot of time together and the chemistry was there, which is very rare(for me). The scene turned out great and we became friends.
If you could be a super hero, who would you be (and why)?
Vin: I would be Spiderman. I love New York and it must be great to be able to climb the buildings like he does, just for the view! His powers also depend on his emotional condition and I'm the same... ☺
LUDOVIC CANOT. 27 Years old Ludovic Canot lives in Paris since 7 years, after he moved from his hometown Hyères in the South of France. 2 Years ago he placed his first careful steps on the path to international fame, having colleagues François Sagat and Fred Faurtin as examples. Now he is hard on his way to take his place next to them, having performed in a variety of productions. Ludo can be admired in films by Lucas Entertainment, Cazzo, MenAtPlay, Titan, Wurstfilm, Eurocreme, Studio2000, Falcon and Hothouse.
What does it take to become / be successful in the international gay adult industry?
Ludovic: First you need to speak English.☺ You need of course to be persevering, ambitious, flexible and be prepared to meet ‘crazy’ people. Oh, and maybe you also need to have a tattoo on your head.☺
What is the next fantasy you’d like to realize, and with who?
Ludovic: I know that I would like to have a scene with the actor Barrett Long so I guess wherever it will be, it will be fun and exciting.
Working in gay porn is probably not something you can do forever. How do you see your life after your modeling career?
Ludovic: Actually I have a master degree in marketing, so to be honest I’m not really worried about my future. Stay in the gay adult industry and maybe have my own website or work like I did just before the porn in the entertainment industry as a marketing manager which will also be cool. But to be honest I really don’t think about that right now coz I know I still have so many things to do in this industry as a model and I really believe in life and that all the people you can meet can change your life really quickly. And I’m able to take an opportunity If I see one so we will see. But I’m sure something good is gonna happen.☺
Please describe the scene you have best memories of.
Ludovic: Actually it’s my last scene. I did a scene last week in London for the website UKNakedMen.com and the two owners were adorable. The shooting was really cool and I had a scene with Matt Hughes, who I find really really sexy. You guys should Google him. You will see why I have a really good memory of my last shoot. And why it still hurts for me to walk.☺
If you could be a super hero, who would you be (and why)?
Ludovic: If I could be a super hero I definitely would like to be Britney Spears. For me she’s like a super hero. She has had so many dramas’ in her life. She has a terrible media-related breakdown and she came back over the edge. She really doesn’t care about what people think about her. She made mistakes but learned from them and moved on. She did almost everything, tried everything, has known rise and fall, happy days and lonely days, good performances and the “gimme more” MTV VMA 2007 and still she wants to fight and show that she wants to live and be happy. She’s only 27 years old and it seems like she did things that a normal person won’t even do in their entire life.
Past is the past, the most important is the present and the future. So trust in you and do what you wanna do. Don’t be ashamed about anything and assumed what you did or do. Anyway, there will be always people who don’t like you, so do your thing and GO Britney (bitch). -B-
