Aerospace defense engineer-turned-rising adult film icon John Legendary is creating big buzz in the biz as a masterful performer, producer and director since launching his blazing career in 2021. {He has since been let go from his job as a Aerospace defense engineer when they found out about his burgeoning career.}
Growing up in Detroit, he had sky-high ambitions from the start: naturally athletic and studious, his academic and athletic prowess served him well through high school and college, where he started as a middle-distance runner before his interests shifted to Greek life and he became more socially – and sexually – active, earning the popular student the prophetic nickname ‘porn star’. Paraphrasing the great philosopher Prince, the future Mr. John Legendary had a lion in his pocket, and baby, he was ready to roar.
Now working for the industry’s top studios, Legendary has not only made his mark as an onscreen talent, he’s also the creative force behind his popular Date Nights and Three the Hard Way XXX series, as well as his newly-launched production brand LegendaryX.com. He’s since been nominated for several awards that highlight his considerable talents, and in 2023 won a Best Foursome/Orgy Scene award and XBIZ Best Sex Scene-Vignette award for his high-profile performance in Blacked Raw’s High Gear.

JL: John Legendary
SW: Tell me about LegendaryX.com
JL: Last year was my first year really going and spending a lot of time with creating content. What I wanted to do was create studio quality content, but from an indie creator’s perspective, as it relates to budget and everything like that. So I started creating this high-end content. I had the videographer. I had talent, makeup artists, you know, nice locations and everything like that. And then I started coming up with these different series, one being the ‘Date Nights,’ through ‘Three the hard way,’ ‘Insatiable Milfs’ ‘Legendary Orgy’ and ‘Paradox XXX.’ And the idea was for me to evolve to my own paid site.
So, in October, I was able to launch that paid site and we’re gonna take all of that content that I created and put it over to the Legendary X site because that was the purpose of it from the start. That’s one thing that I’m just really proud of being able to bring that to fruition. So, the “Date Nights” there, that’s more like the flagship. That’s me going out a day with a young lady and having fun and going back to my location for some sexy time. Then we have the “Three the Hard Way”, that’s more of a random rendezvous with me and like two girls. We also have “Insatiable Milfs”. That’s more, you know, me with a woman who’s a little bit more seasoned. And then we have Paradox. That’s the series that highlights the women who are heavily inked. Finally we have the “Legendary Orgy”. That was, of course orgies, but you know, a little flair.. I have a series called Flirt, that’s a girl-girl series. I’m not sure how much I’m going to do with that one.
SW: When you decide to create this content, is it stuff you wanna see or stuff you think will sell?
JL: That’s a great question. I actually create a content of things that I wanna see because I never was a huge porn connoisseur. And when I did wanna watch something, I didn’t necessarily always see what I gravitate towards, you know. I’m more from a visual aesthetics. Yeah, I really like to see like very classy stuff. And there are companies that do have some of that type of stuff. But I want to kind of do it my kind of way. Where wasn’t so siloed in a box where it has to be like IR specific, you know, it can just be people who are attractive, more so. So that’s kind of what kind of birth my branding.
SW: How long have you been in your porn actor?
J: Two years.
SW: Is there a short version of how you got started?
J: Yeah. So, I start off in the Hot Wife lifestyle as a bull and I was just very comfortable with fucking husbands wives while they filmed me. I said, well, ‘I’m doing this for free. I’m doing this as my Saturday hobby. How cool would it be if I can actually fuck porn stars and get paid for it?’ So, I put an application into OC modeling and then two weeks later I was signed. That’s a short version.
SW: You mentioned you weren’t a porn connoisseur but you’d watched adult material?
J: In the past, yes. I watched it. Yes. Growing up in Detroit, it wasn’t something I thought I could possibly get into. Even when I started, I didn’t know how to get into it. But I have a corporate professional background as well. I have two master degrees. There’s not too many guys with multiple master degrees that are in adult work. It’s just not on your career path. But I thought I’d pivot over here from being, you know, this, this executive to being a porn actor, but initially it just wasn’t on my mind.
SW: And you’d mentioned they were filming you having sex with their wives prior to that, were you filming yourself with maybe girls in school and stuff, college and the whole bit?
JL: I would say after college, more so when I was in my early 20s, mid 20s, even to 30s. Yes, that was like a kink of mine…filming. I love to film. So yeah, I love videos. I’ve always filmed for as long as I could remember. I would be filming myself while I was having sex.
SW: And the type of women you were into in your 20s at the same type of women you’re filming now?
JL: I think the women I’m filming with now are a little bit more hotter than the ones I was with in my 20s, just a little bit. But in the 30s, the women I were filming were, you know, looked just as good as women I’m filming with now.
SW: And you mentioned you have a corporate background. Had you had any prior preconceived notions about the adult industry before you got in it?
JL: I really didn’t. I had no idea, no expectations. I didn’t know anyone that was in the business. So, I didn’t have that point of reference. I came in completely green. I think the lifestyle being in the Hot Wife lifestyle, I think that kind of helped me just being more palatable in my ideas and my thinking. But, I had no idea what I was getting into, I just knew how to adapt well. I knew how to absorb knowledge and seek knowledge. I just applied certain things such as branding that I got from the hot wife lifestyle to the adult industry. I think that’s what helped propel and decrease my learning curve.
SW: And when you started in the business, were you aware of there being any type of racism, anything against African-American people in general?
JL: I didn’t think there was any, I didn’t think that there would be any direct racism towards me. But I understand that in this country, we have a lot of racism. So, I felt that racism was gonna be present regardless if I was in it or not. I mean, in the lifestyle, the How Wife lifestyle, I mean, you have racism in it, and couples who love to indulge in race play and fuck black men and be racist at the same time. You see? So, I understand the realities of where we are today. I’ve been exposed to racism in the workplace in corporate America. So, it wasn’t something that was like suddenly I became aware of it, because racism is everywhere in every industry.
And it’s nothing that we can do to completely eradicate that.
SW: Within two years, you’ve got this company, which is insane. But did you set goals for yourself when you got in the business? Was it just like, ‘I want to be here in two years, I want to be here in a year and so forth?’
J: Yeah. I mean, there was a couple of goals that I had, essentially. I just wanted to launch my own site. That was like my biggest goal. And there was a couple of companies that I wanted to work with for. My intentions when I got into the industry was to build my own. I didn’t wanna be a performer forever, you know. And when I got to the industry, it wasn’t, like I was heavily coveted for different roles and bookings. That’s why I started producing my own content because I wasn’t getting booked. And so I said, well, let me carve out my own niche, my own lane to create my own content so that I can have something to show that, ‘Hey, this is what I’m capable of.’ So that was one of the approaches I took to try to get on the radar of some of these directors and producers for studios.
SW: For the actresses you use, do you approach them via agents? Did you approach them via social media?
JL: Actually a combination of both. You know some initially it was directly through social media like Twitter. And then after a couple of times, I’ll say, well, okay, I’m a producer. I’m a legit producer. And I had to have that mindset of a legit producer. So I had to start running my business and studio as a producer. Then I would just interact with the different agents, um, agencies, you know, I would reach out to Spiegler or the folks at OC or ATMLA say, “Hey, I’m interested in such and such. What’s their rate? Are they available?” So then, yeah, then I start working it that way.
SW: And when you’re producing, as opposed to being a performer, even for a limited amount of time, do you have a different approach because you are a performer and you kind of know what a performer goes through as opposed to a producer, which seems to be a bottom line person?
JL: Yeah, I do still get approached as a performer. I’m always happy to perform as well. Because I perform in all my scenes. So, it’s just a matter of, you know, if it’s a good fit for me as far as does it lie with my brand overall? Because I’m fortunate enough to not be in this business chasing money, I’m financially secure from my corporate regular job. So, I can be very selective in the projects that I agree to work on.
SW: But as a business man, instead of a performer, a lot of times when you’re just a producer, you’re obviously trying to get more, won’t say bang for your buck, but when you’re a performer, you’re trying to avoid being taken advantage of.
JL: For sure.
SW: So now that you’re both, how do you approach that?
JL: Yeah. I haven’t had any issues with that. If I hire you, you know, what you’re getting into it. I mean, you’re not doing nothing crazy. I let it be known, how long you’re going to be on set. All those kind of details.
But from a performance standpoint, I have made mental notes if I’m on set for twelve hours, and my rate’s X amount of dollars. It’s like, I could have done this for a lot less. I could have done this for three hours, four hours, and I’m out the door. Why is this set so inefficient? So yeah, it has, I guess, heightened my senses, my awareness, you know, being a producer while being on set, like, ‘Yo, why so many pages of dialogue, you know? You know, like, people are gonna fast forward all this type of stuff?’ So yeah, and being a producer has helped me to see things from a performance standpoint, which has also allowed me to make my process a lot more efficient.
SW: For you, what makes a good scene? Is it technically perfect? Is it the energy?
JL: Yeah, I think a good scene for me is where there’s a really good chemistry between the performers that translate, that you can really see translated on the, you know, on camera. I think that’s more important. You know, of course a good pop shot is important, the end product, that’s what it comes down to. What does the end product look like. I would say from the background, making sure that the female, talent feels comfortable and safe and taken care of, everyone’s having a good time enjoying themselves. I know from a corporate standpoint, when I’m working my real job, it’s a lot easier when we enjoy going to work. We produce more without having an issue about it. I feel like when the environment is good, the performers feel they’re being taken care of and the chemistry is great. I think that to me, that’s a great scene.
SW: And in your head as a producer, do you have a template that you need? Forty minutes of hardcore, four hundred stills, this or that kind of promo?
J: Yes. I try to get some stills, but I try to get my stills within the scene. So, you know, my videographer may put down the video camera and get the photo camera and start taking some stills. I don’t do stills before the sex. And then, recreate it in the scene that I like to be in and out efficient, you know, because I want the chemistry to stay there, the energy to stay right there in that moment. So yeah, I get stills, pretty girl pictures up front, paperwork, and then, some dialogue, because that’s one of the fun parts that I do is the dialogue in my scenes. I always try to make that part as fun, but not like we’re getting different angles. So, you have to do a whole bunch of takes. We’re going to try and do 1 one take. Okay. So, uh, and then sex is, you know, twenty-five, thirty minutes. If that, there’s a good amount of time to get different positions and, and different angles, we know the fans want to see.
SW: And when it comes to shooting the actual sex, you have the discussions before, but do you have the requirements, you know, we need three positions and the pop, or do you just kind of say, we’re gonna do our thing and you’re gonna film it and we’re gonna go?
J: I do both. I’ll, and I try to get a good read on the talent, on the female talent. You know, sometimes we may just do more of an organic flow or sometimes, you know, we’ll say, well, let’s try to make sure we get these different positions and we’ll suggest like, well, reverse cowgirl always does well. So, let’s make sure we get some of that. Of course we’ll get doggie. So I’ll try to like map out a couple of positions that we’ll get that we know will look good, especially as it pertains to the female talent. If she has huge tits, we got to get some reverse cowgirl. If she has a big ass, let’s get some writhing action going on, you know? If she’s known for like giving really good sloppy BJs, let’s get some very good close up POV on a BJ, you know? So, I try to tailor the different positions based off the female talent as well. I take that into consideration.
SW: And how difficult or easy is John the performer from taking direction from John the director?
JL: Easy. me taking direction as a performer. I was a collegiate athlete. So, I’m used to having that coaching, that guidance, you know, what do you need? I think sometimes it’s challenging when, if I’m in a scene and you’re having me to walk in a challenging position, you know, or on challenging surfaces such as like, hard surfaces. That becomes challenging personally to me, but I still do it, still get the job done. But I think that’s one of the things that are more challenging for me as a producer, I want you to be comfortable as possible. I don’t want you to be on any bathroom floors or anything like that and get floor-burned. That’s not me as a producer.
SW: But when you’re producing and you’re actually performing in the scene though, yeah, is your brain more worried about opening up the cameras? Your brain worried about keeping always hard?
JL: Yeah. I mean, it’s the same when I’m, producing and performing at the same time, I’m worried about the same things as if I’m performing for a studio. It’s the same type of stuff. You know, it’s a thing, I do, if I’m performing for a studio, I want to get called back. I want them to hire me again for doing a good job. I also want to put on a good performance when I’m shooting for my studio. So I try to elevate where whether it’s for legendary X or for all the studios that hired me.
SW: And for you specifically as a performer, a lot of people say porn is exaggerated. How much exaggeration is in your scenes?
JL: I think for me personally, I don’t exaggerate a lot. Maybe I don’t think I’ll exaggerate enough. I try to be as realistic as possible because I feel like that’s my personal brand is to bring that realism to porn. I can’t make the extreme faces that you see sometimes. That’s not me. I’ve never tried, but I just try to be authentic. I try to bring who I am.I try to bring the actual person, me. That’s my value proposition. That’s what I contribute versus any other male talent you can get off the street. I try to bring a piece of me to the scene. So, I try to be as realistic as possible. Yes, dramatizing certain things is great, but innately, I’m coming with who I am.
SW: Is it easier, harder for you to work with the type of woman that you’re into as opposed to just like, you know, ‘I need this woman for this type of series,’ kind of thing?
JL: Typically, what happens on a scene that I produce is that I have more of a say in who I cast for that, and typically who I cast is with someone I would be like inalienably attracted to.
SW: Speaking of casting, you picked some amazing girls to work with.
JL: Thank you.
SW: Was that done through numbers for, you know, followers? Was that done because you think she’s cute? Is that because you want to work with her?
J: Yeah. I typically base it off how they would fit within that series. I like a certain aesthetic. You typically see very attractive women in my scenes. I really don’t look for, oh, she has more followers versus ex-girl, so. I’m gonna book her over her. No, it’s like who I feel would fit that scenario the best. And if they’re available, if they’re interested in working with me as well, because I’ve tried to book some girls who’ve declined my booking requests. So ,it has to be like a two-way street. I have to accept as well.
SW: And for you, when you, I’m guessing, you collab or you just hires?
J: I lately I’ve done more collabs. In the beginning I did mostly hires because no one knew me. And so, they didn’t want to collab. I had to hire initially. I think I’m going to do more hires, moving forward. Now that I’ve actually launched Legendary, and people know what Legendary X is now. So, I think I’m gonna go back to hiring more. But I still have a mix of collabs as well in there. You know, the collab process though, I mean, it’s so weird using the word collab for me.
SW: Do you go in, like you hit a girl up and say, ‘Hey, do you just wanna shoot?’ And then you guys say, you know, I need a BJ and a boy girl, and you need a girl-girl on a BJ. Or do you guys just kind of shoot one thing in a day?
JL: Yeah, I say, “Hey, I like your work. I feel like you and I can create something great together. This is the type of scene I’m envisioning. Would you be interested?”
That’s my approach to it. And, you know, it tends to work out well for me.
SW: When you first got in the business, was there any sense of competition or anything? Cause you’re the new guy on the block.
JL: I didn’t think anything of competition. I always thought that I was a type of guy who just kind of like flew under the radar. I didn’t think people looked at me as competition. I still don’t. But maybe that’s just me being naive, I don’t care. Cause the only thing I can do is just focus on me.
SW: Do you have a lot of groupies?
JL: No, I don’t think so. If I did, I wouldn’t even know.
SW: I mean, you know, for sake of discussion, a smokin’ hot babe walks up to you and wants to collaborate or work with you. For you, what’s the process in that?
J: Oh, I have my equipment, my equipment will be with me. So yeah, if she checks all the boxes there, yeah, we’re good to go.
SW: Up to this point, is there any part of this journey that like blows your mind?
JL: Yeah, I think AVN last year kind of blew my mind, relatively early in my career in this industry. I think that was probably one of the things that blew my mind the most. Also, I was just in a TV show. It was called Rap Shit On The Max. So, I was on that show. I think that was probably one of the highlights of my life. I never thought that I would be on a TV show, it was an implied sex scene. So, you know, if I was a John Legendary, that probably would not happen, you know? So, I mean, that was like crazy. That was definitely one of the highlights of my life.
SW: How does that come up? How does it happen?
JL: I’m still trying to figure out. I don’t know, I just got the call, they just said, “Hey, are you interested?”
SW: You go to shoot the scene, and I hear this a lot, but I’m curious from your perspective. When it comes time to do the nudity, most adult performers seem to just be nonchalant about it.
JL: It was so easy. So easy. I’m like, can I take off my clothes now? There’s like twenty, thirty people in the room. I was like ‘you want me to take my clothes off now? Yeah, okay. This is nothing. Yeah, so it was easy.
I wasn’t always that comfortable being like naked in front of people at all. But porn definitely helps you get really comfortable really quickly.
SW: And did they have a safe person on set to make sure everybody is ok?
JL: Intimate Coordinator.
SW: Thank you. Yes, yes.
JL: Yeah, they had an Intimate Coordinator. I mean, she called me a couple of days prior. We had a conversation. She helped me with all the prep work because we had the cloth I had to wear, masculine cloth or something like that. I had to wear like, to cover me. So. she helped me with that. She helped me with my robe, put my robe on, after we finished shooting a certain act or take. She put my robe on for me, asked me if I need anything. I was amazed. Cause of course I haven’t seen that before or experienced that in the adult space. So, it was really, really nice. It was a great experience to say the least.
SW: And the female actresses you’re working with, do they know who you are and that you’re an adult actor?
J: The young lady that I was working with, she’s in the industry as well. So it was really easy working with her. We didn’t know each other prior. But yeah, it was easy working with her because at least she knew, you know, it’s comfortable being naked as well, you know? So it was it was a good experience.
SW: And does your brain ever click into product mode? Like you start thinking ‘You know, I could do this a lot cheaper.’
J: Um, not when I’m on a studio set like that. I was so overwhelmed with excitement. I was just happy to be there. I had my own trailer. I felt like a movie star. They offered to give me a haircut there. I had just spent like seventy dollars on a haircut with my barber that day. I’ve never seen anything like that. They could spend all of Sony’s money, they want to on me. And that was like a one-day shoot.
SW: Was it twelve hours?
JL: Yeah, it was one day. The call time was maybe around five o’clock. I think we got done around one o’clock, I was in bed by two. And then I went to my regular job in the morning at seven o’clock.
SW: Have you’ seen the episode since or no?
JL: Yes. I watched it. I got to see me on TV. So that was pretty exciting. I saw my name on the credits. That was that was pretty cool.
SW: You’re from Detroit originally, right?
JL: Yes.
SW: In school, growing up, did you have a favorite subject?
JL: My favorite subject was Physics. I always liked the science, the math.
SW: I know you’re really young at that point. But didyou have any idea what you want to do with the rest of your life?
JL: I really had no idea. I think I wanted to be a chef or something like that.
SW: In high school, were you popular with the girls?
JL: I didn’t get popular with the girls until college.
SW: Were you intimidated by girls in high school?
JL: Not at all. I was a nerd, so I was more of the friend nerd. I was an athlete as well. My younger brother was more popular with the girls, he was on the basketball team. I was on the swim team and I ran track. I was very small and skinny, maybe one hundred twenty pounds.
SW: Were you sexually active in high school?
JL: Around sixteen, that’s when I started.
SW: Did you have sex the first time? Did you become very active after that or you just kind of wait?
JL: No, I was as active as it came. I was always on the prowl. I’ve always considered myself to be a sexual person, even before I had sex. Because before I had sex, I wanted sex. I wanted sex at an early, early age. So, I was just ready for the day.
SW: Do you remember the first time you saw an adult magazine, adult movie, late night programming?
JL: Yes, I remember seeing all of that stuff. Going over to a friend’s house and seeing their dad had a VHS and a tape still left there. We see the title. Like, you know; Big Booty, Volume 13 or whatever. Yeah. Seeing that and then HBO late night movies used to come on. The Howard Stern Show used to come on. They had porn stars and then they would kind of blur it out. I used to watch all that type of stuff. My mom would say, you know, it’s 12 o’clock. You need to go to bed. I’m still watching HBO.
SW: When you start getting busy having sex, how much of that stuff influenced you the way you had sex?
JL: I don’t think it influenced me all that much. If it did influence me, it did a very bad job. When I first started having sex, I was terrible. I did not have sex. I thought having sex was fucking like hard, fast pounding, right? Like a jackrabbit. And then we all know fucking like a jackrabbit is like the worst thing you can possibly do. So, at an early age, maybe around nineteen years old, I had to learn to develop an actual stroke, you know, a nice rhythmic stroke. So that’s when I started learning how to actually have sex for the satisfaction and gratification of a woman. So yeah, all that other stuff I learned went out the door.
SW: And at what point in your life did you come to understand that you had a bigger than average size penis?
JL: That’s a good question. It had to be, maybe in my mid-twenties.
SW: And is that at the same time you think you’re getting good at having sex? Because I mean, you had to have been pretty good to start shooting porn.
JL:, I think, yeah, around twenty-five, you know, that’s almost fifteen years ago.
SW: When you start filming, are you filming to see how long you can last and all that? Are you filming to maybe look at it and say, ‘I could do this better, I could do that better?’
JL: I know, just capturing a moment, and then maybe watching it, because I was always watching me with other women. I was like, if I’m gonna watch something, I’d rather it be me than another guy’s dick. Cause when you’re in the moment, you can’t see everything that’s going on. You know, I might be looking down here, but so I can’t see the faces she’s making up here. And so, if I’m filming and watching it back, I can see she really liked it when I did that, you know? Or that really looks hot.
So, I did enjoy playing those scenes back and seeing the intensity, the passion, the fuck faces that were made during that experience.
SW: And back then, how were you getting girls to do that? Were they just girls you were dating? Were you hitting dating sites?
JL: It was just me getting girls anywhere, like everywhere. They were always around me, you know, friends, friends of friends. I lived in St. Lous and I was very popular in St. Louis, so it was really easy, just meeting women.
SW: You had the whole college experience, I’m guessing?
JL: Yeah, yeah, that was a lot of fun. I enjoyed it. It was not short of fun, sexual experiences.
SW: You have three degrees, two masters. One bachelor’s in engineering and business. Was that what you wanted to get into with your life before all this came up or is that just kind of?
JL: So growing up in Detroit, if you go to college, the idea is to get a job, not just any job, a good paying job. So, when I went to college, it was a matter of, what recruiters are coming to my college to recruit for jobs and what majors are they recruiting for? That kind of dictated what I majored in, what companies I interviewed for, so I would interview for my aerospace and automotive companies. That’s where I would intern at in aerospace and automotive. And so that was pretty much my background from a career perspective as well as tech.
SW: And for you, is there a John character and then you?
JL: I would say they are the same. I think John’s an extension. But it’s not like an exaggerated character. I would say is just more private. All the kinky shit on the private side, you don’t see in public. John, obviously you see everything because it’s online, right? So yeah, that’s the only difference.
SW: Is it difficult for you to have a relationship or maybe date civilians?
JL: Yeah, it’s difficult for sure. It’s not impossible, but it’s difficult because of what comes with it. Because it’s on display for the public to see and consume. Whereas when you’re in the lifestyle, that’s relatively private and discreet. You know, like none of this stuff is going online or, it’s really just creating a lifestyle. But with the Adult industry, all you have to do is type it in Pornhub or X-Videos or Onlyfans. And you can see your partner all on full display inside someone else, it does make it complicated when you’re dating civilian, because now her life is potentially impacted as well, because now her friends or coworkers or family have visibility to that. So that makes it difficult.
SW: Do they have the problem of, you meet a woman in a bar, she’s hot, you guys talk, blah, blah, blah. Is she expecting John sex?
JL: If I meet a young lady right now, if she meets me as John, then yes, she wants the porn star experience. And that’s cool, too. I mean, it’s pretty much the same.
SW: Is it difficult or hard for you as a man? Cause you’re so used to instinctively, you do it so much in porn, you do stuff with civilians that they may not look at the same way. Does that make sense?
JL: I think for me, my actual performance from porn has gotten a little bit more spontaneous and fun. I’ve been able to grab from that side and bring in my personal life as well. So, that’s been fun. I mean, you’re having fun with the girl, you’re doing doggy. Your fingers going to go for a buck. But you do that with a civilian and they flip.
But I haven’t had any issues with that because I feel that women innately enjoy excitement. I don’t think that a civilian woman, in my opinion, experience, has not gotten the type of excitement that I can bring. And so, they’re down to try everything once, even the thumb in the ass.
SW: In a personal relationship, does sex have to be a big part of it because it’s your job?
JL: Not for me. I would say this. I need to make sure that my person is getting what she wants actually. But for me, not as much. I mean I don’t need to have sex every day, five times a day. I don’t need that.
SW: Was this something you developed because you’re in the business? Is that something that you kind of over the last fifteen years have gotten all your sex stuff out of your system?
JL: I actually think I have more sex now than I did fifteen years ago. And I enjoy it. I just, I’m busier now. You know, with jobs and trying to juggle so much. So, I just don’t even have time. It’s like, okay, well, I need to save my load for a scene I have to do. You know, so it’s like so many different things I have to put in perspective now.
SW: From having degrees and being a horny man, is there one part of this gig you like more than the other? You like the corporate aspect, you like the performing aspect?
JL: Yes, I do like to use my intellect and my brain a lot more. When you’re working in adult and you’re on set, you don’t get to use that as much. So, I have to make sure that I’m finding outlets that I can make sure that I’m using my brain because I don’t wanna get dumped.
What is your OnlyFans?
JL: It’s John Legendary.
SW: And do you do specific type material for that as opposed to this, all the series?
Jl: Yeas, so all of my OnlyFans, all that type of content is more like amateur style. And it’s, I guess my niche, what I try to cater in is like role play, like cheating. That’s where I’ve been kind of branching off like cheating women, cheating wives, cheating girlfriends.
SW: You do custom work on it.
JL: I do.
SW: What’s the craziest request you got for a custom?
JL: Craziest request. Someone wanted me to come on someone’s picture. I don’t know who this person was. But they sent me a picture that, hey, can you come on this girl that I like or something like that. That was kind of crazy. I get a lot of ass play customs, but I don’t think that’s too crazy nowadays. I think that’s the extent.
SW: For you as a producer, does a girl have to do specific sexual acts for you to hire her? Does she have to do anal? Does she have to do DP or whatever you will hire her?
JL: No, because if it’s an anal scene, I have one called Legendary Anal, I forgot about that one. If it’s an anal scene, then I’m only gonna hire people who I know do anal work and I know who is known for doing anal. So, I’m not gonna hire someone who doesn’t do it? I look and research everything that each female talent is open to and books for.
SW: And you as a producer, do you prefer working with more established girls or do you like new performers?
JL: Historically I’ve worked with more established girls. Yes, for sure. There has been a couple of newer female talents that I’ve worked with. I think Melissa Stratton, she was newer and Mina Lux and Queenie Satine, I think those were some of the newer girls that I worked with, because I think they were a year or less in the industry when we worked together.
SW: What are your social media platforms? Twitter, Instagram, all that.
JL: Yeah, Instagram is Mr. No. Instagram is John Legendary underscore. Twitter is Mr. Legendary triple X. I have a Twitter. Tick tock, John Legendary, underscore. I think that’s it, yeah.
SW: And do any of those platforms play into your content creation? Like if somebody says you wanna see more of this or that.
JL: I have my legendary X.com link on there. And then on my Instagram, I have all my links.
SW: Do you have a different audience, maybe on Instagram versus Twitter?
JL: Pretty much the same mostly men, you know, maybe about 85% men on I know for a fact 85% men on Instagram. So, I would imagine it’s about that. Maybe 80% men on Twitter, perhaps, but mostly men.
SW: If women want to hit you up the street with you, is there an email? Do they go to one of your sites?
JL: So I have my email and my Twitter bio, JohnLegendaryXXX at gmail. Then, you know, my DMs are always open.
SW: Any, any big goals for 2024?
JL: Just to get legendary X off the ground, just to get a lot more brand awareness and let people know what it is. And, and, you know, I’m, I’m behind it. Because that’s my main focus right now is just making sure that Legendary becomes more of a household name and the people are excited to want to work for or view it from a viewership standpoint.
SW: Anything you want to say to all your fans?
JL: I’ll just thank you for the continued support. I really appreciate everyone for supporting me. And even allowing me to get where I am at this moment, you know, to be nominated for two AVN awards, you know, this early in my career and having to win AVN awards is just nothing but gratitude. So just very, very appreciative for everyone’s continued support and more exciting things to come for this year.
