Our Exclusive: The Theo Ford Interview

How did Theo Ford go from the runway to the blue screen? Who would be in his dream orgy? What is still on his porn bucket list? How was leading the “Paris Perfect” cast around in his hometown?

Some guys wind up in porn when a mainstream career doesn’t quite pan out. For Theo Ford, it was just the opposite.

We just saw Theo along with Dani Robles this week in their scene from “Paris Perfect” from NakedSword Originals. And we’ll see him again soon in the big orgy finale.

But during the filming, we had a chance to sit down with Theo about the ups and downs of the long road that led him to where he is right now: busy, happy, and loving life.

gay porn star theo fordThe Sword — Theo, thank you for making time for us. You have had quite a journey. Being a fashion and runway model in Europe is a lofty goal for many, but for you, it was a career. Is it as glamorous as it sounds?
Theo Ford — Harlan, it’s a pleasure. Thank you as well. To be honest, my goal has always been to be happy. I grew up in a small French city, Waterford, so fashion was a million miles away from my daily life. And porn had never been on my radar at all until much later.

After studying political science and international relations I moved to Paris to train my creative arm. I studied fashion design & whilst in fashion school I signed my first modeling contract. Sadly, fashion isn’t the most caring and pleasant industry to work in. Yes, you meet incredible people and you take part in the most amazing events, but I continually felt like a piece of meat.

gay porn star theo ford What was the transition from the catwalk to the porn set like?
The transition was rather slow and easy. I started filming my first scenes for “French Twinks” but I hadn’t grasped the notion that anyone would notice them.

As soon as the scenes came out, magazines started talking about me to the point where my fashion jobs and porn came at a crossroad.

I was filming a music video for a very popular French singer ZAZ and I ended up being the main focus of the video. As soon as it came out, magazines and people online recognized me and it became a big deal somehow. At that moment I realized that I needed to make sure I was more able to manage my career choices.

gay porn star theo fordDid bring in porn effectively end your modeling career … or did it help.
Porn simply changed the type of work I did. I became the face of many different brands geared towards the gay community. I got to meet amazing people while traveling and I got to fall in love with my ex-husband. Even if my marriage didn’t work out I know in my heart that we went into it with honesty and love.

Having multiple careers and a happy personal life was probably too much to take on at once. In many ways, they all had some negative impact on each other and eventually, it came crashing down. My unexpected break from porn for over a year and living in Sydney was a blessing in disguise. My marriage breaking up shook me to the core and threw me into an intense depression. I lost 40lbs and ended up in hospital. Hitting rock bottom was necessary to finally start healing again.

gay porn star theo fordWhat question are you tired of answering from porn press?
There’s no question I don’t answer, but asking me if I’m top or bottom and what I like sexually might be a tad redundant. People forget that actors are real human beings with emotions and feelings. Through the writing I’ve published I was able to touch on so many topics from diversity to mental health.

I always feel sad to see some of my colleagues solely putting forward the sexual aspect of their personality as I’ve found out that the public likes to connect on a more emotional level. Being a public figure means you are bestowed with a responsibility towards your fans. I am so touched when I see the public responding in a loving manner to my articles. So to me, it is not solely about answering a question but doing that extra step to communicate positivity, understanding, and respect.

gay porn star theo fordWhat was your favorite moment while working on “Paris Perfect”?
Paris Perfect” was such a unique experience. There was no moment specifically I loved, it was simply all of it. Living with the cast & crew and walking around Paris laughing daily trying to get through filming.

I feel incredibly nostalgic about this shoot. Mr. Pam was an inspiration for positivity and love throughout the shoot. I was so excited to share this experience with my bestie Gabriel Cross. He is such a huge part of my life that it was the cherry on top to have him with me. I also discovered hilarious and caring qualities in the person of Johnny V. He truly made this whole experience amazing for me and we joked to the point of crying even during our scenes. I definitely want to be like him when I get to his age HAHA.

In addition to playing the valet in “Paris Perfect”, you were also the local tour guide to the cast and crew. What was it like leading a band of porn vagabonds in and around Paris.
I had never been a tour guide for such a loud, insane, amazing group of vagabonds. It was truly special to share a part of a city in which I lived in for 8 years. Paris is a mesmerizing city and I will always call it home. I was glad to be able to ease the filming with my knowledge of the city.

Theo in “Moving Up” for Falcon
Sexually speaking, what’s the biggest difference between American and European men. Does the same hold true for American and European porn stars?
You cannot truly lump Europeans together. Europe is made of 28 countries with very different takes on sexuality. Being in the porn industry we all have a warped vision of sex and sexuality no matter what continent we are from. The main difference is probably that we are not cut in Europe, thankfully!!!!

Of all of your scenes, which was the hottest to film?
My scenes for “Paris Perfect” were rather amazing. I have shot many scenes in my career so I may forget some.

My first scene a few years ago for Falcon was amazing. Bruno Bond directed it and he was such an amazingly caring professional. He gave me the confidence that I could
make a name for myself in the US.

gay porn star theo fordIf you could cast your dream orgy, who would be in and who would do what to who?
The orgy in “Paris Perfect” was so fun to shoot. We had a great cast and I don’t think I could have asked for a better group of boys. Maybe being part of a BelAmi orgy could top that…. maybe!

What haven’t you had a chance to do in a scene yet you have always wanted to do?
I’ve done so many things in my scenes. I now feel confident enough to say “no” if I do not feel comfortable doing something. I’d love to shoot more scenes outdoors on the beach or in the snow. Having dream settings to shoot scenes helps sell the fantasy. Yes, sex is sex but the way to introduce sex and the setting truly has an impact on the viewer.

 
The Sword would once again like to thank Theo for his time and candor. Make sure you check out his scene from “Paris Perfect” from earlier this week and put a pin on Wednesday, December 13. Meet us back there then for Theo, Dani Robles, Colton Gray, and Denis Vega in the “Paris Perfect” finale, “International Gang Bang”.
