Initially, Ron Jeremy left his teaching career to pursue an acting career in the city, but he quickly learned the harsh realities of trying to make it big. He spent a long time working as a starving artist off Broadway making no money. It was his girlfriend sending his picture into Playgirl magazine that began his long and successful career in the adult film industry.
When Ron Jeremy first began modeling for Playgirl and made his first adult film, he was still going by his family name Ron Hyatt. His grandmother, whose name was Rose Hyatt and listed in the phonebook as R. Hyatt, was flooded with phone calls from people who thought they were calling Ron. It became so bad that Rons father told him if he wanted to be in this industry that was fine, but he was not to use the family name. The solution to this was deciding to use his first and middle name professionally in the adult film industry, Ron Jeremy.
Ron Jeremy gained popularity unusually fast and was known around the world for his 9.75 inch penis. He starred in hundreds of films in his first few years, beating out any other adult film star. Today, he is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most appearances in adult films. Jeremy has starred in over 1,900 adult films and has directed over 250 others.
Ron Jeremy is very popular with fans of the adult film industry, but for whatever reason, people feel hesitant going into a store and buying one of his movies. This is largely due to the negative connotations conservative people in society have attached to this genre of film, but alas, there is another way to approach this situation. With the development of adult video on demand, fans can now bring Ron Jeremy into their own home without the embarrassment that would normally come along with it. Adult video on demand is a great thing for anyone who can open up and embrace their sexuality.
