Johnny Rockard
Producer, Performer, and Photographer in Bristol, United Kingdom
Current role: Photographer/producer/performer/event organiser, and model agent/promoter etc.
Q. How long have you been in the business?
A. More years now than I care to remember.
Q.What got you into this business?
A. I started off as an agent at 17 years old and scouted for potential female talent to send up to the Sun for Page 3. It was one mad rush to get as many girls up to photographer Beverley Goodway as I could, because the money they were paying was awesome for then. But the girls were inevitably one hit wonders and I was up against much bigger agents, such as Yvonne Paul and Sam Bond in a tough market place. To cut a long story short I ended up with a model hire studio in Brighton some years later.
Q. Why some years later?
A. I opted to become a male escort. Which led me into operating agencies all over England, and making some awesome money along the way which gave me an even better lifestyle.
Q. So did you sleep with many women?
A. No. I wasn't paid to sleep. That's a terrible and somewhat meaningless euphemism!
Q. So what do you most like about being in this industry?
My goal has always been to find, enable and empower just one girl who will build an empire in this business from having pretty much nothing. That's the buzz, and what keeps me going. I love and admire success enormously.
I was reading about Jenna Jameson a day or two ago. Amazing!!
Not only did Jameson make an unprecedented crossover to mainstream during her 15-year run at the top of the industry, she also raised the bar for adult film stars aspiring to become entrepreneurs. In just six years she turned her Club Jenna brand into a multimedia empire that she ultimately sold to Playboy in 2006 in a groundbreaking, eight-figure deal that remains one of the largest acquisitions in adult entertainment history.
I thrive on success stories like this!!!
