Generally, independent production companies in competition with each other don't get along. But I always liked Gavin Hay and Remy Blumenfeld of Brighter Pictures. Then they got bought by Endemol for jillions and, no longer obliged to race on TV's treadmill, Gavin and Remy went their separate ways in pursuit of their dreams.

Of the two, Remy always seemed "girl on the loose" versus Gavin, who projected a more stay-at-home professorial vibe. He wore glasses and corduroys – maybe even smoked a pipe.

But then Gavin changed his name to Trojan Rock.

Fenton: What made you decide to transform yourself from a hotshot TV exec to an even hotter porn star?

Trojan: What's better – boardroom politics or sucking cock? Having sold the company and decided to take a break from TV, I wanted to have a bit of fun. Life is sort of quite short really. I was living in Rio, very relaxed and happy being nothing "hotshot," just
being me for the first time in years, when my bf asked if I would like to join him in a porn movie being made of real-life couples. I thought, Why not, then woke up, realized there was no going back...

Fenton: How do your former colleagues react to your reinvention?

Trojan: Fuck them! Or maybe that's what they would like me to do to them. (Laughs) Those I'm in contact with actually think I'm brave to be doing what I want – and like. Why not? Mind you, I did bump into a top TV company boss who was really embarrassed to chat with me the other night. I have not come across anyone who says anything negative to my face, but they work in television, so I guess they wouldn't. (Laughs) I know a few people did think I had lost the plot.

Fenton: Was it hard to transform your body as well?

Trojan: No, I have always been Hard, hence my name, Trojan Rock. I started working out a few years before I left the glamorous world of TV. It's just that I was always dressed, so no one noticed. Oh, and I'm doing yoga, so I can get to self suck.

Fenton: Why did you set up a studio?

Trojan: Having worked in an industry where so much is sex is faked or put on, I was tired of seeing bad porn! I kept witnessing movies where bad action is disguised by over-elaborate backdrops, and where so many performers are gay-for-pay, just in it for the money. I knew I could do better and set out to do just that – set up a studio, which featured real men having real sex with real attitude.

Fenton: Would you ever go back to being a TV exec?

Trojan: No. Make me an offer. (Laughs) The answer is... Still no. For the moment anyway, I am having too much fun. I am busy and happy running my studio Alphamalemedia.com at present. I have stopped worrying what people think and just hope they're entertained. Or that maybe others will be inspired to be who they want to be.
