GUEST
BIO:
James Deen knew at an early age he was destined to have sex with girls on camera, so as soon as he turned 18, the
Pasadena, California native set out to make the dream a reality.
Without any contacts and unsure of how to approach studios,
Deen began attending parties in
Hollywood hoping to meet anyone affiliated with the industry. His perseverance paid off, and Deen eventually made the connections he needed to start his illustrious adult film career.
Though peers warned Deen his skinny body type and boyish looks went against the porn norm, it actually helped him carve out a niche within the industry. Over 3,
000 scenes later and Deen is now considered the top male porn star. He is the youngest ever to earn
Male Performer of the Year honors at the
AVN,
XBIZ, and
XRCO awards shows.
Whether filming hardcore
BDSM or straight gonzo and feature adult films, Deen is always the most captivating male on screen, and his honest passion for all kinds of sex, both on and off camera, is displayed in the array of movies to his credit.
Deen's accomplishments extend beyond the adult industry, as mainstream reporters chronicle his popularity among the most unlikely of porn fans -- young women.
Popular female-oriented website
Jezebel.com often reports on Deen's large female fan-base, calling him the "permanent crush of all straight ladydom." Deen was noted as one of the top
100 Jews in Heeb magazine in 2009 and has also been featured on
CNBC's special "
Porn:
Business of
Pleasure,"
ABC's "
Nightline,"
Good Magazine,
The Goodmen Project,
GQ Magazine,
Rolling Stone,
E! Entertainment,
TMZ, and more. In
2012, Hollywood screenwriter
Bret Easton Ellis and director
Paul Schrader cast Deen opposite
Lindsay Lohan in the feature film "
The Canyons."
With demand for James Deen at an all-time high, the enterprising star launched JamesDeenStore.com in
December 2012. The online store is a one-stop-shop for all things Deen. In addition to featuring his movies and adult novelty line from
Doc Johnson, the store stocks an eclectic array of items Deen designed and/or loves and relates to. Whether its apparel he wears, books he reads, or the sex toys of some his favorite female porn stars, every item on the site carries the James Deen stamp of approval.
