If there is a cute ass which most of us know, it has to be Armond Rizzos back side. I know, as every one of you do, many subs who are admiring his qualities as bottom and most of them are surprised how such a cute tiny ass can take sooooooooooooo much. But to be one of the best known porn actors on earth also has its shady side.
Hi Armond, really great to have you with us. Have you ever thought that your cunt would one day become one of the best known in the world?
Honestly, I actually never thought I would make it past one year in the industry, I def almost gave up before I began. My journey hasn’t been easy, I just looked forward and never looked back, I worked and worked and worked and just did what I knew I could do best. So to me, it’s just surreal to even hear that, lol.
Yes, you worked a lot. Most of us are happy that you’ve done it. But why have you been so negative at the beginnings?
Because no one in the industry looked like me. I wasn’t tall, or supper buff, or the right color.
OK. I know from friends that the industry can be super superficial. But it seems you have had something they have been waiting for. Do you know by now what it was?
At the moment, I didn’t know what I had. I just wanted to break stereotypes, shake up the industry. I am 4’11” feet tall. No one in the industry is this short. And like I have been doing my entire life, I was trying to prove people wrong about short people. But what I think has been missing in the industry was authenticity. Someone who knows who he is. Someone that says what he believes in and someone that stands by their word and doesn’t back down.
I like short people. 🙂 For me as Master, they give me a natural desire to protect them. But my point of view is not really important, atm. I am sure if you think back, you have been absolutely proud about your first scene when it got published. But I know also from other porn actors that they have had a mix of feelings, because at the moment the scene is published, you can not turn it back, and probably your parents, or people at work etc can see by chance. Have you had such feelings, and if so, what have you done against them?
I have done absolutely nothing about it, because I am not going to ever apologize for my past. What I did was because it’s what I wanted. I knew the risks, but I didn’t care. One thing I have learned in my experiences in the navy is that life is short, and it is too fuckin short to live by what society tells us we should be doing and not doing, or what is appropriate and what isn’t. This is MY LIFE, no one else’s. And if they don’t like what they see, then they can simply stop watching it. It’s that simple.
Wow 🙂 First: You are right, it is your life. And second: You are really a self-confident guy. I am sure that has helped you a lot. Because many people have a really wrong picture about your job. It is hard work and not as fun as it looks on screen. Of course if it is work and fun at the same time, it’s the best, but also a porn actor has his bad days, and the production is not stopping just because of him. So what do you reply to people who are saying that you have such a great job without seeing the work behind?
I would tell them that is not the reality of the porn industry. Our job is create a fantasy and make it look real and smooth, but in reality there’s some crazy shit you sometimes have to put up with. Models that are divas, models that have partied the night before so now you have to deal with that attitude and limp dicks on set.
There’s some times where it is fun on set and you got good vibes all around, and those days are the best. You get the best out of everyone. But it’s physically demanding as well. Try arching your back for hours almost everyday for about 6 years lol. Yeah I am talking about myself, but you will never see that in my face. I fucked up my back when I was in the navy, so that arch is work for me lol. I am 28 but the navy aged me. But I love what I do and you won’t see me complain because my job is to be an actor and to deliver every time. The show must go on.
I would wish you to just have the good sides of your job, but that is not realistic. You have talked about the divas …. probably we should also talk about the jealousy of other actors. I think now, as you are one of the very big ones, you can ignore it, but I am sure you had times you have had problems with it. Or am I wrong?
You’re correct!
And how do you handle that? I think that can be very difficult … even more because you have to have sex with such guys you feel that they envy your success, even if it is still small in the beginnings.
I just try and not let it bother me, because their jealousy comes from their insecurities. They don’t believe in themselves. Them being jealous about me honestly has nothing to do with me. So I don’t let that bother me, I just continue to do what I do, and be who I am all the time.
That’s a good way to handle it, but not always easy, I imagine. The last negative point of your work we will talk about are the “haters”. Can you tell us what kind of experiences you have had with them?
Omg where to start lol…. I have had people make fun of my voice, my ethnicity… ignorant stuff like my hole is a sink hole that is stretched out from people too uneducated to understand the anatomy of the human body, to know that an asshole returns back to its original state since it’s a muscle. I have had my life threatened more times than I can count. I have been told that all porn stars kill themselves so I should kill myself already. Oh and of course the infamous one that I will die of aids. To me all this things have nothing to do with me, because they project their own insecurities onto me since they see that I continue my life my way and I have figured a way to love myself enough to not hide who I am. Stuff they say is stuff I have lived thru my entire life, stuff I have learned to become a stronger person from because of my struggles in life.
I take the pain, I learn from it and I find something positive from that experience and grow from It. The haters don’t bother me because life has prepared me to be able to handle this kind of scrutiny and hate. That doesn’t stand next to the shit I have already gone thru.
It is nice that you are a strong and self-confident person but that sounds too easy. I am sure you have also struggled several times with such statements because some of them are really offensive and they play the man, so they attack you as person.
What has helped me is having some incredible support at home, having friends that keep me grounded and centered. People that know just about everything about me and they love me for who I am and remind me of who I am.
The boom of social media in the last years has made it easy for haters to spread their bullshit. It is much easier to write a comment in the anonymity of the internet than to face a person to insult them. What does a nice guy with over a quarter million of followers on twitter think about social media?
Social media is a place where if you don’t know how to navigate It and use It can make your insecurities more prominent. If you know how to use It you can unlock a level of communication that allows you to connect with people from all over the world, hear people’s stories, to unite a group of people in seconds to march or protest. To pass information about anything happening all over the world, stuff you wouldn’t be able to see and learn from anywhere else. One can use social media as a form of way to change the world and unite if used for the right reasons.
Social media are curse and blessing at the same time. The problem is not the platform, but the people using it. As everywhere there are good and bad guys, but the problem is, that the stupid guys get a stage they would never have in real life. We have talked now a lot about the shady sides of being a famous porn actor, but I’m sure there are also a lot of sunny sides and that you have also made a lot of positive experiences.
Before porn I was quite a vanilla guy (well still am) but through porn I was able to experience everything that I have never experienced in my personal life, stuff that I have only experienced for the first time and most of it was captured on film.
For example, I’ve never done sounding, and my first time was carried on fetish force for the first time. It’s funny because I almost fainted on film from watching this metal rod slide doing my dick lol .
Hehe, I see porn is healing your vanilla side and makes you kinky. 🙂 But I’m sure the positive sides of your profession are not only the sexual activities.
There’s quite a few things honestly.
Now you’ve made us curious. Tell us about.
Porn has allowed me to have a platform where I have a voice, and there’s people that are listening. It is a power that I can use to speak up about issues, and make a change not just in the industry, but to save lives. By telling my story so others don’t feel alone. They get to see that I am a guy that loves sex and not afraid to be completely exposed. In a way Porn has been able to help me become more confident in my own skin.
My current goal is to show the world that adult entertainers aren’t stupid, and we aren’t just a dick and a hole and that I am a human being. I have a brain and a voice.
I think that’s really a good issue to work on. Porn actors aren’t just nice bodies having the sex the audience is wishing to have. Behind every cute ass, every monster dick, every power bottom, slave and master is a person. You are not just brands, you are human beings with feelings, good and bad days and of course with a normal life beside the porn set. How does one make that visible to people?
By pushing back and speaking up. By putting life experiences to use and using them to find strength, to stand your ground and show people your authentic self, being able to show the world just how human you are. To show them that we aren’t living this great glamorous life. We have our ups and downs like everyone else.
