Life and career
Time: How did you start your career in the porn industry?
Ron Jeremy: Like many Jewish boys, I worked as a waiter and head waiter at the Paramount Hotel in the Catskills. I did performing arts, but it was hard work. It”s hard to get anywhere, especially in New York, unless you”re a member of the Screen Actors Guild. There was no money.
My friend Alice and I decided to take a photo in the luxurious wing of the Paramount. We knew that girls could star in Playboy and be promoted in theater and on screen. I decided to try it. My girlfriend took photos and sent them to Playgirl. I thought they might call me to Los Angeles, but while I was there I found a part-time job in Hollywood.
I got a call from Playgirl. They said they had good news and bad news. The bad news is they are not going to pay for my airfare. Good news: they decided to use our photos.
Time: What was the public reaction to the photographs?
Ron Jeremy: I had to use my real name, Ron Hiatt, from Queens, New York. Ron Hiatt enjoys hang gliding and sailing whenever possible, and is also working toward a master”s degree in special education. Many people searched for R. Hiatt in Queens and found my grandmother, Rose Hiatt.
My poor grandmother was harassed day and night, mostly by men. Playgirl likes to think that its main audience is girls. No, no, no. Mostly gays. My grandmother had to move. My father sat me down and said. Do what you want — you are already an adult. But don”t ever use our last name again.” So I started using my middle name, Jeremy.
Time: What was your path into the porn industry?
Jeremy: I stopped teaching because it didn”t pay the bills. After Playgirl, I went to see a director I knew. Joe told me he only made pornography and I told him it was dirty.
I played in the theater for several months. And he was dying of hunger. I went back to Joe and decided it wasn”t such a bad idea. I asked my family what they thought about this. They said they weren”t crazy about the idea, but if they thought I”d be popular, they could give it a try. So Joe cast me in Tigers and Other Cannibals. I was wearing makeup, and my face was not visible under the makeup.

Lena Paul (or Lena Paul) is a stunning blonde pornstar. As of February 2020, she has starred in over 350 adult movies and scenes.
Time: Did you feel awkward during filming?
Jeremy: Yes, a little. There were experienced professionals there. For me, everything did not go as quickly as for them. It was awkward. And I”m not used to having sex naked in a room full of people.
Time: Were your friends shocked?
Jeremy: I had a rich sex life in the Catskills. One day I was late for lunch and told the head waiter that I was with a girl. When my friends found out that I was doing porn, they said.
Time: What do you like about your job?
Jeremy: It sounds corny and cheesy, but I loved playing and talking. All my friends were still doing off-Broadway theater, and I was acting in films. Yes, pornography, but it”s still in the theater. They were still active then. They had great scripts. There was no video, no DVD, no Internet back then. I arrived in the so-called “golden 80s”.
Time: Did sex give you pleasure or bored you?
Jeremy: Both are the same. I liked acting, but sex was half and half. There”s always tension when you have to take your clothes off in front of a lot of guys. There are also makeup artists nearby. You”re having a conversation and they say, “Okay, Ronnie, let”s go.” Even if it feels awkward at first, your body and brain will remember that you”ve done this before. And then everything goes well. And it gets fun.
Time: What were the people like in the industry?
Jeremy: The 70s had hippies, the sexual revolution, Woodstock. Children of flowers. Weed smokers who could sometimes be found on cocaine or pills. Most of them went to university. Many houses were destroyed or there was violence. In my university lectures I said that pornography is part of Hollywood.
Is the case of porn actor Ron Jeremy already in court?
There were kids who just wanted to do crazy, ridiculous things. Some actors got into porn because they dreamed of a glamorous career.
Time: Did that make you rich?
Pretty much. But thanks to newspaper marketing, ads for penis pills, skateboards, T-shirts, and so on. All of that made me pretty rich. Reality TV, too. Performing in clubs, signing autographs at fan meets. It significantly increased the amount of money in my bank account.
Time: Have you ever had a romantic relationship?
Jeremy: Very, very difficult. Statistics show that most marriages don”t work. It”s a shame, because things could be different. We don”t know if humans are meant for monogamy. Ancient civilizations didn”t practice monogamy. And Christianity made us feel guilty about our adventure.
You can be emotionally monogamous and physically polygamous. Viagra is the greatest gift of monogamy. You don”t need it for picking up blondes on the street or at lap dances. But it will come in handy for sex with your 50-year-old wife of 20 years.
Time: Are you still filming?
Jeremy: A few days ago, I was filming a movie for a wonderful New York director. It was a free erotic film. I had sex with a cute girl, Candy. She stayed the night and is here now (laughter can be heard in the background). I”m also filming a horror movie, Blood Moon Rising, in Arizona.
Time: Is it still fun?
Jeremy: My dad warned me about this, and I didn”t want to admit it, but libido does wane with age. Nature is cruel! As you get older, you”re 50 now, and it gets harder and harder.
I”m 55, and it”s a little stressful, but not enough to become a chore. I don”t need to do pornography anymore for financial reasons. But I want to know. I don”t want to be a former porn star.
