Exclusive Brent Corrigan Chat Saga Continues: Episode 2 Of 2—The Fan Questions!

Photo: Brent Corrigan Inc.

As promised, here is Part Two of my little chat thingamajig with Brent Corrigan.

In this second half, Brent takes questions from his fans about fisting, making out with Robert Pattinson, and riding in a car with Charles Manson. HUH? Umm, you just have to read it.

Those of you who read Part One know that I deliberately cut things off at a very critical point to try and make this suspenseful, when I asked Brent what he thought about Mason Wyler. Let's pick things up right where we left off, shall we?

ZS: OK. Next up: What do you think of Mason Wyler?

BC: Oooooh...umm…well. Here’s the thing…

BC: I don't know Mason that well, but he's always been very sweet to me. I think that he gets a really bad rap for being what most of us already are anyway (slutty, right?). Shit, if the gay adult industry can't take on Mason Wyler, where does this poor boy belong?

ZS: A mental institution?

BC: Some say we all belong there.

ZS: No, I love Mason...and he's a lot smarter than people give him credit for.

ZS: Ok, American Idol's Adam Lambert? Love him, like him, hate him?

BC: I've only seen one episode. It's about time American Idol featured someone who can actually take on the title they are promising. Quite honestly, I hope he doesn't let someone manage his career into a bad direction. We need mainstream queer idols that are strong and talented.

ZS: Exactly. Now, are you afraid of the Pig Flu?

BC: Ha! I don't know if you've heard this one, but: "It was once said by a very wise man that a black man will be president ‘When Pigs Fly.’ One hundred days into Obama's presidency and…Pig Flu.

ZS: OMG

ZS: And is it just a coincidence that Muslims, specifically the secret ones like Barack Obama, have a thing against pigs?

BC: umm, Egypt just slaughtered a bunch, I know that!

ZS: Speaking of slaughtering things, I read on Brent Corrigan Inc recently that you're entertaining the idea of cutting your hair. DON'T. Please!

BC: well, it drives me nuts.  I go longer and shorter all the time. It's short now, but not impossibly short. Who wants to look the same way forever?

ZS: Would you consider auctioning off your locks?

BC: Well, the auctions aren't doing so well right now. I closed at $605 for my last one. I used to get $2000 for an auction.

ZS: The recession.

BC: of course.

ZS: how are you saving money in these tough times?

ZS: Or, are you?

BC: I eat in. I cook a lot. I'm doing alright in general, but it's frustrating that now I am selling and producing on my own, I have to swim against a recession. It really pisses me off when people say they love my stuff but don't know I've directed and released some of my own in the last year.

ZS: Well, sometimes you need to give them a friendly reminder.

ZS: Ok, one more question and then I have to toss you some of your fan questions. How did you develop your writing style? Talk about your education.

BC: I grew up in a school system that was very serious about writing. I just write like I talk. I write as the thoughts come at me, and sometimes it's a ramble and other times I have to reorder things when I proofread. I think the important thing is being thorough. If people are going to read what you have to say, they want to know thoughts and feelings, not just a laundry list of facts.

ZS: There are certain things you can’t really "learn" with regard to writing, like voice, structure, rhythm, etc., and you've got a natural ability for those things.

BC: thank you ;-)

ZS: Ok, now it’s time for some questions from your VERY, very passionate fans.

BC:ok?

ZS: This first one is from “Wilven9678.” He writes: "Who would you rather make out with—Robert Pattinson or Zac Efron?"

BC: Which one has the better breath?

ZS: Zac does, so I've heard.

BC: I bet Zac is a better kisser. Robert looks like he might suck your face off if you get too close. maybe it's the vampire thing, I don't really know.

ZS: Well, I'd have a 3-way with both of them but that's just me.

BC: sure thing, I'm not much of a starfucker tho.

ZS: Moving on!

ZS: Oh, here's a fun one. It’s from “Anne”:

“How many old (40s), straight, married, women are in Brent's fan base? Um, hint: at least one.  Hi.”

BC: Ha! I have a ton of female fans of all ages. They are about to group and start a fan site I think. It's a big compliment to know I can reach beyond the usual demographic.

ZS: Another woman named "LANA" wrote an entire manifesto's worth of questions...let me pick one out from Lana's list. This one's nice:

"Which practices are your taboos (like watersports, scat, whipping, fisting etc.) and why? Are those taboos a matter of personal limits or genre/image?"

BC: I won't delve into fetishes, unfortunately. I love doing porn and I love sex, pure and simple. I just don't feel compelled to do any of the little extras. Oh, and let me clarify: I will never get fisted, EVER, in my life—on camera or off ;-)

ZS: Uh, ok! Thanks for sharing!

BC: I may have taken a big dick or two, even at the same time—but it is not the same thing as having someone put on a latex glove and jam a limb up your ass!

ZS: at least most fisters I know wear gloves. Classier that way.

BC: haha

ZS: Another fun question. this comes from someone with just the initial "W" (and I don't think it's George Bush). He asks:

"If you had to pick one, who would you rather spend 8 hours in a car with: Britney Spears, Michael Lucas, or Charles Manson?"

BC: Does Charles Manson have anything that he can use as a weapon?

ZS: let's assume not. Let’s just say he's handcuffed to the door handle.

BC: Ok then. I have no desire to know Michael Lucas. Britney Spears would probably be boring as fuck. So, that leaves Charles Manson. He might be a trip. But only if there could be a partition between us.

The guy was absolutely diabolical and nuts, but he was brilliant in his own right. It doesn't mean I want to be anything like him, but there is something to be learned there.

ZS: Certainly he's the most interesting of the three...

BC: certainly.

ZS: Hooray for mass murderers. Ok, this last question just came in and it's a good way to close. It's from “Jonny F”:

“If there was someone who didn't know who you were, someone who had never seen a body of your work...what would you most want them to know about you? In other words, how would you humanize yourself outside of the world that is Brent Corrigan Inc.?”

BC: I actually deal with this on a regular basis. Come on, I'm not Meryl fucking Streep! I have to introduce myself all the time. It usually depends on the scenario.  Depending on what is going on, I am not always up front about my adult work.

I met Cloris Leachman the other day and I told her about my mainstream work and that I was breaking into acting. I did not tell her about my adult work. However, if I meet someone at a party, I just say my name is Sean and that I own my own adult production studio. I also say I do some work in front of the camera. I never play myself up, and I just keep it as brief as possible. If they are curious to know about it, the rest comes out in conversation.

People really appreciate modesty, especially from those they don't expect it from. If they confront me and say something like, "Aren't you Brent Corrigan?" I smile and oblige. I don't deny it, but often times I will omit it because I am out to be an average person. I don't go out for the attention; I go out to be a regular human being like everyone else.

ZS: You know, before I met you I had my own preconceived notions of who you were...and it was nice to see that you were a normal, thoughtful, real person.

BC: Thanks Zach!

ZS: Before I let you go, when's your new DVD, Brent Corrigan’s Big Easy, coming out? And, are you excited about your Freshmen spread? It comes out next week, and we'll be previewing the cover here on Unzipped.net.

BC: I am more anxious about the spread than anything else! I haven't seen the photos and I know the cover shots we were taking were ridiculous!

ZS: I am looking at an advance copy of the magazine right now, and it is…unbelievable.

BC: I hope, in a good way!

ZS: unbelievably cute, sexy, unique. You don’t have anything to worry about. I think you are your own worst critic.

BC: That keeps me one step ahead of the rest!

ZS: if it counts for anything...everyone here who worked on it is very proud and keeps mentioning how great you look. And we can be some pretty catty bitches, so...

BC: haha, really! well, thank you for easing my mind a little.

ZS: ok, so about your DVD, the Big Easy? (NSFW trailer here.)

BC: They put up the cart links for the pre-release on BrentCorriganInc.com. It's still a week out from the send date, but this has been anticipated for six months now. This movie puts Summit to SHAME!

ZS: Ahhh, can't wait to see it. Are you in every single scene?

BC: no, no!  I am in 2 scenes of 5.  They are all really good though. This movie is THE BEST reality based porn on the market. It is so fascinating to watch these guys together and you get a good sense of what it's like on set, and what I am like as a director.

ZS: sounds like you've raised the bar. And at least you’re in 2 of the 5 scenes.

BC: well, hey now! When you direct and model, you can only be in so many places at once. Besides, I was in 3 scenes of 5 in Just the Sex 1 and it didn’t make a difference in sales. The buyers didn’t seem to care. I will never release another DVD with more than 2 of my scenes in it ever again.

ZS: Well I can’t wait to see it. Unfortunately, it's time to go! I know you have places to go, people to see. So, I'll let you run off now.

Thanks again for taking all this time...you're too sweet.

BC: no, thank you! It was my pleasure. It's nice to get some 'friendly fire' from industry folk every once and a while.

ZS: You're a good sport and you always know how to have a good time.

BC: thank you. Alright Zach, take care of yourself and don't let those guys at Unzipped work you too hard ;-)

ZS: have a good night and you take care, too. don't get swine flu.

BC: I won’t. I wash my hands!

Frost/Nixon this was not. Blatant fawning aside, you should have asked Mr. Corrigan why he thinks thinks the Industry has been much more receptive to him than, say, Traci Lords who also did porn when she was under-aged.

[Zach Sire]

"Blatant" fawning?! Darn it...I was trying to be so subtle.

Hey, thanks for reading and commenting as always, Victor. And sorry to disappoint you, but if you're looking for investigative journalism via an IM chat transcript where a porn star takes questions from his adoring fans, you might be looking in the wrong place.

xoxo-- Zach

Mocblog I think the difference between Traci lords and Brent Corrigan is obvious she went away from adult work (also was in a nasty trial) and became a celebrity away from porn.

I think Brent will naturally move away from porn in the next year or so. The other reason he stayed in the business was by personal choice in a fragmented and declining porn business no one can enforce a Blacklist now days.

Not that they didn't try (Michael Lucas)but his own hypocrisy in trying to hire Brent in 2006 completely discredited his arguments.

More important for Brents sake, I think most people in porn have concluded Brent was not the ONLY party involved in his age fraud. When the scandal broke in 2005 NO ONE in Porn knew Cobra Videos founder had a previous "underage" conviction in 2001.

If anyone should have been BlackBalled it was Cobra.

OmG, this underage question has been discussed on milions of sites millions of times. Instead give me the chance to say that I am the Lana being mentioned in this chat. And if you are Anne, female, 40, married or any other rare animal of a BC fan feel free to contact me. Lana Eros
PS: I recommend to watch BC dance in the video "splash" on youtube for that matter. ;)
