Michael Brandon
Interview by Harry Bitsch
He’s the "it" guy of gay porn right now. He’s starring in nearly every video worth discussing, he’s started his own line of videos at Raging Stallion, and he’s the proud proprietor of "Monster" - the only penis with its own ZIP code.
And he’s a sweetheart. Sure he’s a sex pig, but when you sit down to talk to him the humble blue-eyed boy next door just boils over with humility. Leave attitude at the door. Attitude is not allowed around Michael. Period. When you’re around Michael, you just can’t help sharing his love of life. He’s the sort of person who makes you feel better about yourself having met him.
Boys, meet Michael Brandon. You’ll be glad you did.
Cockring: Thanks for meeting with me Michael! We’re long overdue in featuring you!
Michael Brandon: Thank you very much for having me!
CR: OK, we have to get the obligatory stats out of the way. What’s your height, weight, etc. - and is the age in porn/AOL years or real years? People hate when I leave that stuff out.
MB: 6 ‘0", 160-165lbs, depending on who cooked for me the night before, 38 years old. I want you know that this is the first time since taking on my AOL age that I have decided to let folks know my real age. When I first started in the escorting business I would tell folks I was 35. They would say I was too old. Understanding that I don’t look my age. Feel it, YES! Look it? No! I made my professional age five years younger! When I shaved the years off. The positive responses came flying in. The phone hasn’t stopped ringing since. Age doesn’t really come in to play so much when I get calls and emales. I know that age is a given that most folks lie about in this profession. Didn’t feel, nor want it to be for me any longer. I do want to apologize to everyone for that for the professional lies. Now, you know.
CR: You’ve been around for a long time! What/When was your first video?
MB: 1987, All Hands On Dick (Inhand Video)
CR: Jeez! How old were you that first time?
MB: 24
CR: What was going through your head during that first video? Do you even remember?
[laughter]
MB: Oh yes, I remember, They locked the doors and wouldn’t allow any of us to come and go. They wanted to protect the security of the location. They brought all the models they would be using throughout the weekend. All in a van. I was done after the first day. Having to sit around for two more days and see the guy standing guard on the door. Was giving me the creeps. I jumped over the back fence. Found the nearest pay phone. Called my agent at the time. Told him to make sure I got paid. I wasn’t hanging around for two more days. Called my boyfriend and made arrangements to be picked UP. I was fresh off the bus. Didn’t have a clue as to where I was. Too funny. Oh yes, I remember it well!
CR: The things going through your head today before a shoot are different?
MB: The PRESSURE!! How am I going to one UP the last one. The pressure on us, Monster and I, is pretty high. Being welcomed back with open arms and legs! LOL! The awards, the folks that come to my events and parties, and the emale I receive let me know how well I am doing. Looking in the mirror. I see, a skinny white boy with a big dick. Through the emales, interaction with folks all over the world, reviews, film work. I have an awareness that there is much more to me than just a big dicked white boy. The pressure to give the performance everyone expects is what goes through my head. That, and wanting to find a trash can LOL! I get throw UP nervous till the red light on the camera goes on. Then it’s all about the performance. Focus! Taking care of my scene partner like all my friends/fans and family have come to expect of me!
CR: And now you have your own line of videos with Raging Stallion. Who’s idea was that?
MB: I came to Chris Ward, President of Raging Stallion, with a lump of cash. Told him I wanted to start my own line. 50/50 split. I bring the money. You guys bring the expertise behind the camera. He had been wanting to launch a line along the lines of Rocco. The straight guy with the big cock. Inviting his big dicked friends over to fuck the women UP the ass! Chris wanted to start a gay version of that style. Chris hadn’t found the person he figured had the stamina and cock to pull it off. Till he met Monster and I.
CR: What do you hope to accomplish with Monster Bang?
MB: Big cocks and the holes that they fill. Cock worship and hole worship! That is our goal!
CR: Cool! Which Monster Bang videos are you most proud of so far? Which ones work and which ones don’t? (In your mind, hun, we love ‘em all!)
MB: I wasn’t really sold on MB #3, Packin’ Loads. It was put together very quickly. Without a lot of my influence. Damn, ego of mine! They wanted to release a Monster Bang without me in it. I wasn’t OK with that. I understand that one day there will need to be Monster Bang titles without Monster and I serving UP our antics. I felt it was too soon to not have me as part of the product. It turned out just fine though. LOL! Any of our product is sure to get a rise in your pants! Stick it IN, really worked for me. My influence in this project is everywhere. Pre-production all the way through till the last cum shot! And what a cum shot it was! Being able to be on the set through out and keep the energies flowing! The new one coming out Poke, Prod, Penetrate! Wow! Wow! Did I say wow yet? WOW!
CR: I’ve seen you do a lot of things over the years, bud. Which shoots were the most fun, and which were the least? Please tell me Bret Wolfe’s ass is as much fun as it looks like.
MB: Stick it IN was very intense for everyone involved. I have noticed that the movies I am in more scenes tend to be that way. Terms of Endowment, Raging Stallion, the first movie I helped produce with them. I was very involved in casting. Being in three of the four scenes I was able to cast my nasty spell on everyone. Keeping the chemistry a boiling! That is one of my favorite movies to date! There was a movie movie being made by Paul Barressi. The model he paired me with. I don’t even remember his name. There wasn’t an ounce of energy in the boy’s body. Couldn’t suck cock if his life depended on it. Damn, what was his name. That should tell ya something, huh? LOL! Anyhow, that was the worst set! That one even wins out over the time I did back to back scenes. Both topping. The bottoms hadn’t properly prepared for the digging I was going to give them. I wasn’t only sprayed once, twice, three times. Harry, I kid you not. I was sprayed 6 times. 6, I tell you! If anyone reading this needs to know what "spraying" means. Emale me! I give you the details!
CR: I’m not surprising anyone saying you have a big dick. But you’ve often surprised viewers by bottoming. Which do you prefer?
MB: I can honestly say. I am truly versatile. In receiving emale from my fans. They love to see me get fucked. Monster, hard as a rock, flailing around like an elephant trunk while some hot man is pounding my ass! Hell yeah. So, I give my fans what they want! So long as I am able to get turned on by what someone wants. I shall see that it gets done! The tops better know what the hell he is doing though. I will flip his ass over and teach him a couple things!
CR: I probably WILL surprise readers by saying you’re not that much bigger than me. Is it as difficult for you to get a guy to say yes as it is for me? How often do you get "you’re not putting that thing in ME!"?
MB: Hmmm. I really don’t don’t get too much of that. I mean, marketing Monster as I do. Folks understand what they are getting themselves in to. Or, the other way around. What they are wanting to get in to them! LOL! Reviews, male4malescorts.com, on the Internet, let folks know that that I take my time. I am very experienced at what I do. As my web site quotes, "You come to me with an open mind. Let me worry about opening UP the rest!"
CR: Is there anyone in the industry you’re just chewing through the leather harness to work with? C’mon! There’s SOMEONE. Tell us what Michael Brandon’s fantasy scene would be. Max Grand in a sling or whatever, surely Michael Brandon has SOME unfulfilled fantasy.
MB: There are many I would love a piece of. I wish Jackson Price were still around. I would love to get at him again! Sean Storm is on my hit list! Fantasy, eh? Hmm... would you believe it would involve a prison setting? I know, I know, mundane!
CR: Some people know you took a hiatus from the industry for a while. Are you comfortable talking about that and what brought you back?
MB: My hiatus was due to finding drugs and all the wonderful things that come with them when you make them your lover, confidant, worst enemy, best friend, cuddle buddy and your world. 8 ½ years of prisons, living on the streets, stealing and doing whatever it took to make my drug quota for the day! Being given a drug treatment program in lieu of doing 7 years UP state one more time. I will have four years in August! Wow! What a life I have, eh?
CR: When Michael Brandon is bored on a Saturday afternoon, and not particularly in the mood for sex, what does he do? What hobbies do you have? Do you collect Barbie dolls?
[laughter]
MB: Collecting Barbie dolls? LOL! Now that would be something that would answer both this and the next question! Not hardly though! Michael Brandon bored? Down time? Hmm...actually, I don’t have a lot of down time. I am learning to incorporate in to my world slowly. The past three years have been focused on making UP for the past ten of unproductivity. I can be very hard on myself. Having survived the years sticking a needle in and out of my arm like a zig zag sewing machine. I am truly blessed to have the life I lead. I work my ass off every day for it. Not taking for granted any part of it. Understanding that it is a blessing that I am able even to breath, speak a full sentence and just be able to enjoy life and give back as I am. I have made some amazing achievements over the past few years. I am trying to set aside some time for "me." Coffee shops, people watching, are among my favorites. Just relaxing pool side is very fun for me.
CR: What would surprise readers the most about you?
MB: Surprise? Harry, my life is such an open book. Let’s see. OK.here’s one...I am really a bottom!
CR: What’s next for Michael Brandon? Broadway? Give ‘em the old razzle dazzle?
MB: I have recently moved to San Francisco to become part of the office infrastructure a bit more. Feel I need to be closer to my investment and help manage it. So when you call (877) 327-0707, don’t be surprised if the person on the other end of the phone is Monster. Damn him! Always trying to butt in!
CR: You’re a delight, my friend. I thank you for doing this.
MB: Thank you for allowing me to take the time to get UP close and personal with my friends and fans. I look forward to the next years. Bringing you guys/gals some of the hottest man to man sex you can find on screen. And in person! If you happen to be at one of my events. Or, even passing me on the street. Don’t be shy. Don’t be rude. But, don’t be shy! Stop me and say hello! Much lube-----Michael and Monster Brandon!
