Rather than hijack the “Who’s the Hardest-Working Person in Show Biz” thread any further, I thought it appropriate to start a separate thread on Ron Jeremy. Man, check out all of his titles here on imdb.com. What a list!
Thank you, Ron Jeremy.
I like that he doesn’t take himself to seriously, and at the same time, makes no bones (snerk) about what he is and what he does.
Whoa; take that, Gene Hackman.
A friend of mine who at one time worked at the Men’s Club Houston had a picture stored on her cell phone of Mr. Jeremy’s manly attribute, taken when he obligingly posed for the shot during a public appearance visit.
Otherwise, I got nothing.
Is this a new meaning to “Hardest Working”?
You know, he’s been around forever, he’s a mustachioed version of the American Dream (seriously, what Doper can say they nailed Jenna Jameson?)
How can you not love and respect the guy?
I’ll try to keep it brief.
While living in Vegas (where the Porno awards show was) I was “seeing” this gal. Wicked, hot, nasty sex. Anyway, we were kinda on the way out, and about this time the Porno awards blow into town (snicker). The “after show” party was always held at Club Rock, where I was a regular regular. Anyway, I ask this chick if she’ll come and party with me and she says maybe. Now, at this time, this was probably the only chick in Clark County that would bang me, so to me, this was crucial.
Fast forward…
I cruise up to the bar, ingress (with some difficulty, givin the event, but they knew me) and wander around.
I find the object of my temporary lust…GETTING HIT ON BY RON JEREMY!!! :eek: :eek:
:eek: :eek:
I ended up with her, but it was a tough call between his limo and party in the penthouse suite. She said she was afraid of what she might catch…
I did get to say “Hi”, introduce myself and shake his hand. I immediatly washed mine. 
Over 1,000 movies in 30 years. He’s averaged one movie every 10 days or so! How does he ever have time to memorize his lines?!
He seems like a really cool guy, he doesn’t take himself seriously, he’s pretty funny and witty, he’s a classically trained pianist and certified to teach school, and has done so. What’s not to like?
He seems like a great guy but I wouldn’t want to whack off to anything with him in it. If there are guys in a porno, they need to be better looking than him, for me anyway.
Once, I interviewed an adult film star, and my first thought after I shook her hand was, “I know where that hand has been!” :eek: But she was a lovely and gracious person, so I shoved the thought to the back of mind and had a very nice conversation with her.
My then-husband was sooooo jealous.
Being straight and being a bit into the whole demeaning thing, I actually like seeing the hedgehog bang a hot chick. The way I see it, a hot girl banging a hot guy is not really earning her porn badge, if you will, and doesn’t do it for me as much as a hot girl banging a guy she probably wouldn’t in real life- she’s just having hot sex. Weird, I know 
I was taken aback by the terseness of Siam Sam’s OP. You would think he’d have gone on to praise Jeremy’s personal qualities at length, or the breadth of his range, or the duration of his career, or his stamina as a publicity hog, or something. At the very least, Ron Jeremy is so much more than just another nice Jewish boy.
He’s an actor who just keeps on growing.
Read his autobiography. Funny as all getout. I’d party with him.
Well, I didn’t want to gush.
I’ve read his autobiography. It’s pretty hilarious. He actually was a lot better looking when he first got into the porn business, and only started growing fat after he became an established star. I doubt he would have been able to get in if he looked the way he does now from the get-go.
The 2001 documentary on him, “Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy” is a must see. Ridiculous clips from his “films”, the story of how he changed his name, Al Goldstein ripping him at any opportunity, the rap video 
he did with the likes of Al Lewis and Lynn Redgrave :eek: --it’s just one hard to top story after another. The only thing better is the DVD commentary with Ron and the film’s director. Ron keeps complaining about the inaccuracies of the film, while the director says “I’m probably the only person in history to fast forward through sex scenes in porn to get to the acting”. The only truly great DVD extra I’ve ever seen.
He wasn’t always fat, but he was always pretty hideous looking. He started in the ‘golden age’ when porn was still shown in theaters (late 70s). Back then his enormous schwanzstucker was more than enough to compensate for his bullfrog-like grimace.
Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a really cool guy as well. Knows exactly what he is and what porn is and what it is not. He’s not like these current neo-hippy porn chicks who go on about being an ‘actress’ in the ‘Adult Industry’. He knows he (and even more the women) are just pieces of meat.
But I still can’t watch even his older, non-fat scenes. Being a guy we try and ignore the men in a porno so its best when they’re not especially good or bad looking, just average. Ron, um, was never even average.
I mean, he looks okay in this picture. If you can look past his outfit and mustache, I guess.
And the shag carpet remnant he’s wearing on his chest.
