Did you star in a gay video called 'Leather Joy boys'?
The blurb on the add says 'plenty of 12" cocks and Hot gay action, plus a good storyline. Some fabulous looking guys-including a former Top Pop star!'

I think on the Taboo documentary with Joan Bakewell you said you tried gay action only once (and didn't like it).
The cover on the vhs looks like you in your Rod Steward period.

[jj]

..............it's those 'gay' leather pants again, isn't it?

[magoo]

No, it was me that brought up the "gay leather pants" not Joe.
He couldnt find a link. Joe usually comes up with more links than a hungry dog in a sausage factory! Gawd bless im guvnor.
Ben in gay porn?? Peter North & Tom Byron both started in poo-pipe exploration. But not Benjy as far as I know. Unless anyone knows better!
So ill take the wrath of the Benster. (sorry ben)

[woodgnome]

ben mentioned somewhere (on taboo, i think) that he did shoot one gay porn vid.

apparently, it was a pile of crap. his theory as to why was along the lines of, not being gay he didn't know where to point the camera!

chastened by this failure, our hero returned to what he does best - appearing in art house movies!

[magoo]

Well that makes him a diamond geezer in my my book. A man who does anything for his art. So fuck off homophobics.

[jj]

If you're not careful, homophobics will get their own lobby group and we'll have to be nice to them as well.
Ben is slated to take over from Jeremy Clarkson if the latter is murdered by an irate Ford dealer........he's already got all the cars, so the Beeb will save a fortune.

[marky mark]

This cannot be true ben is a national treasure.

NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!joe

I tell you David Sullivan has a lot to answer for! That picture on LJB has haunted me for years. Back in the late eighteenth century when I was a 'moddell' I did a lot of shoots for Whitehouse and all those Sullivan mags. He just used one of the pics for the video cover. He couldn't put a pic of someone who was actually in the film on the cover, that would be going against a lifelong tradition!!! I guess at the time I had that young pretty boy look. I wish I still had it now, but there have been other compensations I guess. I did shoot a gay scene in LA once, bizarrely with two straight guys. Yeah,I couldn't work out what was going on either. It was one of the funniest days shooting I've ever done, a story too long to tell here, but just hilarious. So, no I've never found myself fencing with a 'marmite swordsman' although I was at a mad showbiz sex party at Andy Gibb's [anyone remember him?] apartment in Mayfair once and.... oh fuck it I'm sure no-ones remotely interested. Let me know if you want me to tell it, I don't want to turn into a porno producer bore

[Bill Malone]

Tell it! Tell it!
And give me Laura Singer's phone number.
But tell us the story first.

I would not want to spread rumours about Ben, But I have noticed him looking at my balls alot lately whilst filming, when he should be concentrating on the girls. But he is a master cameraman and no longer needs to watch the subject he films.
So I say do not be put off by Bens fob off about not being in any gay stuff. No one with hair like that, and I 've seen his wardrobe, is straight.
Sorry Ben but it,s time to let the cat out of the bag you old queen.
I followed in Ben's footsteps on the strip circuit. And all the old drag queens used to salavate heavily at the mention of his name. OH HOT ROD.
If you require any further proof of Ben and his days as Jonathon King's longest serving paper boy please send ?15 -00 to Super Mario's truth about the stars gazette.
