Full Ron Jeremy Biography
Ron Jeremy (born Ron Jeremy Hyatt on March 12, 1953) is an American pornographic actor currently residing in Long Island, New York. Nicknamed "The Hedgehog" for his "spherical hirsuteness", he was ranked by AVN Magazine at #1 in their "100 Top Porn Stars of All Time" list. Jeremy has also made appearances in non-pornographic films with studios such as Troma Entertainment.
He gained some notoriety for being capable of autofellatio (with his first on-screen demonstration being Inside Seka) but he has since stated in a 2003 interview that all he can do these days is kiss the tip of his penis due to his weight gain.
Jeremy was born to an upper-middle class Jewish family; his father Arnold was a physicist and his mother a book editor who served in the O.S.S. during World War II as she spoke fluent German and French. He had a uncle who was a gangster with ties to Bugsy Siegel.
Jeremy left the teaching profession (his self-described "ace in the hole") to pursue an acting career in New York City, and says he learned what it was like to make no money as an actor who "starved Off-Broadway". Jeremy posed for Playgirl after his then-girlfriend submitted his photo to the magazine, and subsequently moved into the adult film industry as a means to support himself. His first appearance in a porn film was in a film by Chuck Vincent called Snap (though later renamed COD). He 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 Ron.
Jeremy had his nickname of "The Hedgehog" bestowed upon him by Bill Margold after an incident on the set of Olympic Fever, shot in 1979. Jeremy had flown in from New York to shoot the movie and had dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, expecting warm weather. During his motorcycle ride to the set, located in near Lake Arrowhead in the California mountains, the weather had deteriorated to blizzard conditions which chilled him to the point of hypothermia. Upon arriving at the set, Jeremy was immediately whisked away to warm up in a hot shower. When he had 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 comments on seeing Jeremy after the shower were "You are a hedgehog, my friend. A walking, talking hedgehog."
Outside the adult film industry, Jeremy worked as a 'special consultant' for the 1985 film 9½ Weeks. He also worked as a consultant on the 1997 film Boogie Nights which chronicled the emergence of the fictional porn star Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg), appeared in the 1999 film The Boondock Saints and played a bartender in 2002's Spun.
Jeremy's love for food led him to release a line of condiments, the first of which was a 'hot sauce'.
Jeremy appeared in the second season of The Surreal Life and the ninth season The Surreal Life: Fame Games, where he finished 2nd to Traci Bingham on the season finale, which aired on March 25, 2007. Jeremy also appeared in a segment on Comedy Central's Chappelle's Show. He has also made appearances on Penn and Teller's Bullshit! in episodes regarding penis enlargement and circumcision. In 2005, he appeared on the UK reality TV show, The Farm.
Jeremy is also part of a running gag on ESPN's Jim Rome Is Burning and Premiere Radio Networks' The Jim Rome Show. Rome, who normally despises the porn industry, has a newfound respect for Jeremy for recording a program bumper saying, "This is Ron Jeremy, head coach of the Miami Heat, and you're watching Jim Rome Is Burning." The bumper is a reference to Jeremy's striking resemblance to former Miami Heat and current Orlando Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy.
Comedian Kathy Griffin recently went on a date with Ron in the third season of her reality show Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List.
In 2003 Jeremy appeared on The Frank Skinner Show on British TV, and performed a duet ("I Got You Babe") with former Cabinet minister Mo Mowlam.
Jeremy has appeared in 14 music videos, more than any other pornographic actor. He appeared in videos by Sublime, Mercury Rev, Moby, Kid Rock, Everclear, Sam Kinison, Guns N' Roses, Rottweiler Hundar (Icelandic) and A Day To Remember. In addition, he released a rap single called "Freak Of The Week" which stayed on the Billboard charts for 27 weeks.
Jeremy has recently begun to appear in a series of viral video spoofs for video sharing website Heavy.com. The videos lampooned include lonelygirl15, Little Superstar and others.
Jeremy wrote his memoirs with the aid of a ghost-writer. The book, titled Ron Jeremy: The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz, was published by Harper Collins in February 2007.
In 2006, Jeremy began a series of debates on pornography opposing Pastor Craig Gross, founder of an anti-pornography website, visiting various US and Canada college campuses, including The Ohio State University, as part of the "Porn Debate Tour". |
