Ron Jeremy World Famous Porn Star - Actor
Jewish Name -
Ronald Jeremy Hyatt
Ronald Jeremy Hyatt, usually called Ron Jeremy, is an American adult film actor.
Nicknamed "The Hedgehog", and "The Agnes Buster" (due to an
ex-girlfriend) [1] Ron Jeremy was ranked by AVN at number one in
their "The 50 Top Porn Stars of All Time" list.[4] Ron Jeremy has
also appeared in non-pornographic films, such as The Chase, Orgazmo,
They Bite, The Boondock Saints, Crank: High Voltage and 54.[5]
Ron Jeremy has gained some notoriety for being capable of
autofellatio (which Ron Jeremy first demonstrated on-screen in
Inside Seka).
Early life
Ron Jeremy was born in Queens, New York
on, March 12, 1953, to a middle-class
Jewish family;[2] his father,
Arnold, was a physicist and his mother a book editor[6] who served
in the O.S.S. during World War II, as she spoke fluent German and
French.[7]
Ron Jeremy attended Cardozo High School in Bayside, Queens, where
former CIA director George Tenet, actor Reginald Vel Johnson and New
York State attorney Todd Silverblatt were his classmates.[8][9] Ron
Jeremy earned a bachelor's degree in education and theatre and a
master's degree in special education from Queens College in New
York.[10] Ron Jeremy taught special-education classes in the New
York City area and was a substitute teacher for regular classes.[11]
Pornographic film career
Ron Jeremy left the teaching profession (Ron Jeremy called it his
"ace in the hole") to pursue an acting career in New York City, and
says Ron Jeremy learned what it was like to make no money as an
actor who "starved Off-Broadway."[10] Ron Jeremy posed for Playgirl
after his then-girlfriend submitted his photo to the magazine,[9]
and subsequently moved into the adult film industry as a means to
support himself.[10]
Ron Jeremy started using his first and middle name professionally in
the adult industry, after his grandmother Rose was pestered by
people calling her thinking they were contacting him.[6] Rose—listed
at that time as R. Hyatt in the phone book—was pestered at all hours
by prospective suitors who’d seen Ron Jeremy in Playgirl. "She had
to move out of her apartment for a month," Ron Jeremy confides. "My
father told me, 'If you want to get into this naked, crazy business,
so be it, but if you use the family name again, I’ll kill you.'"
Ron Jeremy had his nickname "The Hedgehog" bestowed upon him by Bill
Margold after an incident on the set of Olympic Fever, shot in
1979.[12] Ron Jeremy flew in from New York to shoot the movie,
dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, expecting warm weather. During his
motorcycle ride to the set, located near Lake Arrowhead in the
California mountains, the weather deteriorated to blizzard
conditions, which chilled him to the point of hypothermia. Upon
arriving at the set, Ron Jeremy was immediately whisked away to warm
up in a hot shower. When Ron Jeremy finished, his skin had taken on
a pink hue from the temperature extremes, and the hairs on his body
were standing on end. Margold's comment upon seeing Ron Jeremy after
the shower was, "You are a hedgehog, my friend. A walking, talking
hedgehog."[13] Contrary to popular belief, the nickname had nothing
to do with Ron Jeremy's weight gain, as Ron Jeremy was quite
physically fit at the time.
Ron Jeremy is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for "Most
Appearances in Adult Films";[14] his entry on the Internet Adult
Film Database lists more than 2,000 films in which Ron Jeremy has
performed, and an additional 281 films which Ron Jeremy
directed.[15] By way of comparison, John Holmes—the next
highest-ranked male star on the AVN Top 50 porn stars[4]—has only
384 acting credits listed on the IAFD.[16]
One joke that made the rounds within the industry at the time was
"the kinkier acts some actresses would not perform were bestiality,
sado-masochism and sex with Ron Jeremy."[1] However, Ron Jeremy has
since been recognized for his contributions to the adult industry by
being inducted into both the AVN and XRCO Hall of Fame.
Additionally, Ron Jeremy's work earned him a spot on the Adult Star
Path of Fame located in Edison, New Jersey. Ron Jeremy has said that
violent video games are worse than porn.[17]
