Aspiring porn actors now have a school to study their craft. Rocco Siffredi, a retired Italian adult film actor, opened a Porn University.
The New York Daily News reports that so far, there are 21 students who will attend sessions at the set of "Siffredi Hard Academy." The institution is actually a reality show titled "Universita del Porno" that would be aired on Italian television, according to Perfil.com.
Siffredi, also known as the "Italian Stallion," an obvious reference to his manhood, will teach the students various techniques and tactics how to be believable as a performer in a triple X movie. The trainees, who would attend for two weeks, would benefit from Rocco's experience starring in more than 1,300 skinflicks.
Part of the reality show are on-screen tests, recitation techniques and positions that will work against the camera. All these are geared to make the wannabe adult film actors believable future porn stars.
Thousands applied to be taken in, but the veteran porn actor accepted only 21 students. He said the training is unscripted so the amateur actors would have an organic and authentic learning process.
Siffredi explains, "I have a normal life, for many, perhaps too normal. I do not forget where I come from. Fame did not make me lose touch with reality," quotes Independent.
Siffredi, whose real name is Rocco Antonio Tano, got his screen name from the 1970 French film "Borsalino" starring Alain Delon who played the main character Roch Siffredi. He became a porn actor when he met Gabriel Pontello, also an adult film performer, who introduced him to producer Marc Dorcel and director Michel Ricaud.
His first porn film was "Attention little girls" in 1987. He now owns the Rocco Siffredi Produzioni based in Budapest. While he retired from acting in 2004 for the sake of his children, Siffredi did not abandon the porn industry. He instead concentrated on directing and producing adult films.
