JOSH BRADY IS THE CURRENT IT BOY WHEN IT COMES TO THE ADULT FILM INDUSTRY HAVING RECENTLY PICKED UP AWARDS FOR HIS “WORK”, WE CHATTED TO HIM ALL ABOUT IT.
WORDS: DANIEL MAY
TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAMILY LIFE AND YOUR UPBRINGING?
Well family life was chaotic I guess, I grew up in Southern California, lived in Oregon for a while then back to California, it has been pretty long term here.
SO THE BURNING QUESTION IS HOW AND WHY DID YOU GET INTO THE ADULT FILM INDUSTRY?
Well, I was actually a Go-Go Dancer for 4 years before I got into porn, I needed to make money and knew some friends in the industry.
WAS IT SOMETHING YOU HAD AN INTEREST IN THEN OR WERE YOU APPROACHED?
I was approached to do it a few times when I was a Dancer though I always said no, I will never do porn, then by the end of it, I thought why not give it a shot.
IS IT EVERYTHING YOU EXPECTED OR COMPLETELY DIFFERENT?
It is so different than I thought it would be, it’s really laid back, the whole process is not what people would think.
IN A GOOD OR BAD WAY?
I think its a good way, its a lot less sexual when in the moment than what it comes across because of all the editing, breaks etc.
IS THE PROCESS LONG THEN?
Oh yeah, I have had days were filming can go on as long as 10 hours and on the flip side, some days are over in 4 hours, every day is
different.
WE SEEN ONLINE THAT YOU WON SOME AWARDS, TELL US ABOUT THIS
Yeah, I won at the last Straight Up awards, I won Best versatile Duo and Best EP. I believe the winners were decided by fan votes, which is amazing.
Later today I actually have another award show, I’m also up for best duo though this is decided by a panel.
LET’S CUT TO THE CHASE ARE YOU SINGLE AND DO YOU FIND BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP DIFFICULT IN YOUR LINE OF WORK?
Well I’m very very single and no I don’t think it is difficult, I think the biggest roadblock for a
relationship is communication and trust. As long as you and your partner have those I don’t see any issues but I know it can be expecting a lot from another person as well.
HOW ARE YOU’RE FAMILY WITH THE WHOLE PORN THING?
My family are pretty accepting, they all think it’s cool and a lot of random people throughout society that I have found out also think its cool, I think this is because it doesn’t have a direct effect on them.
SO ARE YOU OPENLY GAY, TELL US HOW COMING OUT WAS FOR YOU
Yes, I am, I didn’t actually come out in a normal way, my family found out. I had only told a few friends who I thought needed to know and from then I just let people assume what they wanted to assume and went and got a job as a dancer. Pictures and things started to go up on Facebook but again I just let people think what the wanted.
OUTSIDE OF THE ADULT FILM INDUSTRY, WHAT DO YOU DO TO KEEP OCCUPIED, HAVE YOU ANY HOBBIES?
I’m going to school at the minute for Music Production, I’m pretty into music, the course is music composition, I only got into it recently, though I’m really enjoying it and what to explore and see how far I can get.
JANUARY HAS JUST PAST AND WE ARE CONSTANTLY SEEING AND HEARING PEOPLE TALK ABOUT MAKING AND BREAKING RESOLUTIONS DID YOU MAKE ANY?
I never made any specifically for New Year though I decided to quit drinking and all that good stuff, I try and go to the gym every day though when I travel it can be difficult.
SO BACK TO THE INDUSTRY ARE YOU IN IT FOR THE LONG HALL OR IS IT SIMPLY PAYING THE BILLS FOR NOW?
I hope there is longevity in it, I want to stay in the entertainment industry, I probably won’t be doing porn forever so I want to stay in the industry and see what else I can do.
The Goal is to try it all, I want to do Acting, produce music and have my hand in everything
THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME WITH US, WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST
Kelly’s Cellars is Belfast’s oldest traditional Irish pub, often described as “a hidden gem that oozes old traditional values”. It’s famous for the best pint of Guinness in Belfast, served with our homemade Irish beef stew. Built in 1720, it is situated in the heart of the city. Kelly’s Cellars has changed very little in 200 years and still has most of its original features. Recently we refurbished upstairs into what is now a modern yet contempory bar, currently opened to the public at the weekend and available for private hire
