(MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA) -- The world's most famous porn star will be at the Club X Sexpo at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre (Thurs Nov 21 - Sunday Nov 24). Ron Jeremy will be meeting his Australian fans as he promotes the internationally acclaimed documentary about his life, "Porn Star".
"Ron Jeremy has been in more Australian bedrooms than many people might be prepared to admit," notes Sexpo organizer, David Ross.
"Through his countless videos, he has become an icon and a cult figure who has an enormous following around the world. I'm sure many Australians will be keen to meet him in the flesh."
The Legend of Ron Jeremy At Sexpo
Scott Gill's "Porn Star - the Legend of Ron Jeremy" has won rave reviews around the world, as it profiles a man who has appeared in 1,600 films and had more beautiful women than James Bond. 'Porn Star' is a funny, warm and realistic look at an ordinary man living an extraordinary life.
Known as 'the Hedgehog', Jeremy is short, fat and hairy - and yet he is the biggest porn star in the world. For many his appeal is the fact that he is very average looking. He admits that he is living proof that "anyone can get laid".
He was 'discovered' after his girlfriend of the time submitted his nude picture to Playgirl Magazine, showing his 9 3/4 inch penis at full attention. From struggling in minor plays during the late 70s, Jeremy was soon making big money in porn.
Some of his female co-stars consider him the best, with an ability to perform on cue - while others refuse to work with him. Sometimes his co-star will demand that he be shaved prior to a scene.
Jeremy craves mainstream acting success, while continuing to work in the industry that has made him an icon.
Ron Jeremy is rich and famous, is mobbed by fans in the street, but is notoriously cheap and somewhat eccentric. He uses garbage sacks for carrying luggage and carries around a huge folder full of names and phone numbers.
Jeremy admits to having had three true loves in his life, and despite now approaching 50 still hopes to settle down and have kids.
The documentary is available on VHS and DVD and will be released on Monday November 4 through JB Hi Fi, Leading Edge, HMV, Sanity, Blockbuster, Civic Video, Family Videoland, Video Ezy, Atlantic, Virgin, and Dick Smith.
Ron Jeremy will be joined at Melbourne Sexpo by some of the world's leading female adult film stars, including Serenity and Jacklyn Lick. He will also be promoting the documentary in Sydney (Nov 28 - 29).
