Exclusive interview

Ever since Men At Play has announced the return of Italian gay porn model Bruno Boni, I couldn’t wait to interview this handsome man. Bruno is a very kind and smart guy, so I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading his answers. I’m very excited to see his comeback video, that will be released soon on MenAtPlay.com!

Thank you so much Marcello, DT and Men At Play for the help you gave me! I greatly appreciate the assistance you have provided me.

Hello Bruno! Thanks for taking time to answer my questions! I’m very excited to see you back in the gay porn business! You filmed two scenes for Lucas Kazan back in 2008, then you disappeared. What happened, why did you leave the industry?

Hi QueerPig, and thank you for having me! I am very excited to come back to the scene. Everything is still developing, and I don’t know what’s going to happen. When I shot the scenes with Lucas Kazan, I was still young, and I had no idea what working in the porn industry would be like. I didn’t even think it could be a real profession. However, I owe him for being the first to believe in my potential. The entire team was very patient with me, even though for me, it was more like a game. I was curious to explore the world of porn, which I only appreciated as a fan before. I didn’t expect that the two scenes I shot could impact my life so much. People started to recognise me in the streets, even people I would have never thought to be interested in gay porn. I immediately became the centre of the attention, and, even though I liked it, it scared me as well. I am a perfectionist, and back then, I lacked the maturity to handle a job that requires more balance than one could think. Then I decided it was not the right time to carry on with my porn career.

Well, I’m glad you are back, and wow, you look amazing and bigger than ever before! What is your secret? Do you compete in bodybuilding?

Ah, ah, ah, thank you very much. I’ve never considered myself handsome. For me, beauty is another thing. I think I am aesthetically peculiar and therefore far from being a model of beauty, but I have learned to love myself. I admit I now appreciate my little flaws much more than my attractive qualities. At the moment, I am not competing, but never say never. Bodybuilding is one of my greatest passions, and it is a very democratic sport. There are no secrets, and, as opposed to other sports, it allows continuous improvements, and actually a bodybuilder physique gets better in time if trained correctly. Dedication and discipline are the only suggestions I can give.

You have recently filmed a new scene for Men At Play. What made you return to the gay porn industry, and how do you like working with the MAP crew?

As I said before, many years have gone by since my first working experience in the porn industry, and since then, the approach I have towards many things has changed. I am much more in sync with myself, and I worry much less about other people’s judgment. I have never regretted the past, and I admit I don’t consider time passing as an enemy. I wanted to take a challenge, and in a way, redeem myself from that first experience that, even though very positive, wasn’t lived with the same confidence and happiness I have gained with time. Men At Play is an icon in this industry, and their productions always excel for attention to details and a refined eroticism even when very hardcore. It was a real honour to work with them and to witness such organisation and professionalism behind the scenes. Often we don’t realise how much work there is just to produce one scene.

It’s not an ordinary scene you filmed a couple of weeks ago. It’s a huge orgy with Denis Vega, Paco, Scott Hunter and Dato Foland!! Tell me about your experience shooting with these hot men! Did you have a great time on set?

It was incredible. All the guys could genuinely be my friends in real life if we didn’t live so far. Paco is a long-time friend; he is Italian like me, a very sweet and caring guy, and his eyes clearly say so. I met Denis and Dato on the set. Denis is completely crazy, a wave of craziness and humour that only Spaniards can bring. Dato is a big cat, very sexy and generous… in every way. Unfortunately, I had the opportunity to meet Scott only on the set, but he proved to be the great professional he is, and he was very nice with everybody on the set. I truly appreciated him. During the scene, we let ourselves go to passion, and it was very exciting to make one of my fantasies come true. The rest is up to you to discover.

UPDATE: The scene is called “The Line Up” is now online on MenAtPlay.com! Click here to watch the video!

Do you have a favourite porn site or a performer you’d love to work with?

I’ve recently discovered http://manlovesmanatees.tumblr.com, a page that contains homoerotic pictures from all time. I like the kind of man that it portrays very much, and often I discover incredible pics. It’s also funny because it contains pictures of manatees, a very original and surreal analogy. With regard to the actors, many come to my mind, but I will name two for different reasons.

I find Rogan Richards, one of the main models at Men At Play, one of the sexiest and most handsome man ever. I would really like to meet him one day, who knows. The second one is François Sagat, a true icon to me, an artist who has been able to put intelligence and humour in every choice he has made. I believe he retired from porn, but he is still a great performer who will still have a lot to say.

Are you a top or bottom? What’s your favourite sex position?

I am totally versatile; I don’t like to preclude myself from anything even though there have been times when I preferred one role or the other. I like to play and experiment, and I don’t like to stick to just one role. It is also hard to choose a position, but if I had to, it would be me as a top with my partner on his back and his legs on my shoulders. I like to look into the eyes of the person I have sex with.

If you could direct your own scene, give us a glimpse of what it would be like.

I would like it to be shot outdoors in the sunlight. I think a gang bang or an orgy. Four or five hot guys take turns fucking a younger and hungry guy. Everybody fights to fuck him harder and harder, and the bottom boy seems to never have enough. Then, the camera shows even the cameraman and the director horny and masturbating. They get naked and offer their asses and mouths to the hunks’ big cocks.

What are your turn-ons? What do you look for in a guy? Are you single?

I have been asking myself the same question for a long time. It’s strange because over the years, I have realised how difficult it is to define what I find attractive in a man. Often, I thought some features would interest me more than others, but experience has taught me differently. I have found myself loving details that I never appreciated just because they didn’t belong to the right person. Generally speaking, I am not attracted to the conventional stereotype of a handsome man, the models you see on magazines I mean. Not that I am not attracted to beauty, on the contrary, but sexually, that doesn’t turn me on. I like the unusual and very masculine faces. A good body helps, too. I have a thing for dark and deep eyes, and I can’t resist a nice smile. My fetishes are hands, and most importantly, feet.

Yes, I have a boyfriend. We are celebrating ten years since we started dating. He has a completely different job than mine; I can only say he seduces people in the kitchen. I would love to get married in Italy, but unfortunately, it is not possible yet because of the political situation, and I would really like to get married in my home country.

What would your fans be surprised to learn about you?

A lot of people think I am a lot more extroverted than I really am. I am not a clubber, and my ideal night is dinner with friends in front of the fireplace. It will make you smile, and even if people will not believe it, I insist on saying that I am a very shy guy in my everyday life, and I need a lot of time before being able to express myself naturally with people I barely know. Before a show or on the set, I am always very worried, but it is something I like to feel because it slowly turns into energy that I use for the performance that I am about to have. It’s not always easy to make it happen, but I try my best.

Any hobbies outside of your porn/modeling career?

Apart from sport, there is not a moment of my day that goes by without music. I am Italian, so I like good food and to explore the different cuisines of countries I visit and try unusual flavours. In Italy, we have a vast wine and food culture, and I, myself, don’t know all the regional specialties that we offer. More than a hobby, more like my first big passion, is the study of figurative arts and history of art. Since I was a kid, I’ve always drawn and painted, and it’s what I studied. In Florence, my native city, but in general everywhere in Italy, it is impossible to ignore art. For years, every morning, on my way to school, I used to cross Ponte Vecchio, and every step, every detail of my small town is a skipped heartbeat. I deeply love my roots, but I am also curious to discover what the world has to offer. I love traveling.

What can we expect from you in the future? Do you have any upcoming projects, porn shoots?

I would really like to keep working in the porn industry and improve myself. At the moment, there are other projects that I will be very happy to talk about when they actually start.

Where can your fans follow everything Bruno Boni (Instagram, twitter, Facebook, etc.)?

Of course, I have a private profile on Facebook as Bruno Boni, but at the moment, it is full. You can follow me if you like. Also on Facebook, I opened my public page. I love twitter, and there you can find me as @boni_bruno. You can also find me on Instagram as thebrunoboni. I will be very happy to interact with all of you.
