Vincent Gallo's Brown Bunny was almost universally panned by the critics, but it was the talk of Cannes this year, in part for the graphic 15 minute long blowjob scene with Gallo and Chloe Sevigny. AVN Hall of Famer Ron Jeremy, who was actually consulted by Gallo in preparation for the scene, thinks that regardless of the artistic merit of the film, Brown Bunny will serve as an important historical note – the first time mainstream actors have performed in a full-blown sex scene.
Ron Jeremy met Gallo at the wrap party for Spun a year ago, and was asked advice for the oral scene. Gallo wanted to know how to prepare so that he could ensure "Peter North" size money shot.
"I told him to hold back. Don't have sex for a couple of days. And when you are actually doing it, stop. If you get close, stop. Go eat a sandwich. Use your finger on her. That's the real way to do it," Jeremy told AVN.com, after appearing at a promotional event in Chicago.
Jeremy isn't sure if his advice was followed, but he does know that Brown Bunny has a graphic money shot at the end of the 15-minute blowjob.
What makes this even more notable is that these aren't C-list actors. Chloe Sevigny was nominated for an Oscar for her supporting role as Lana Tisdel in Boys Don't Cry. Vince Gallo directed and starred in the cult classic Buffalo '66.
"This could seriously change the faces of adult. Gallo says he won't release it without that hardcore scene in the end. If they won't take it in the arthouse theatres, he'll just put it out of DVD and VHS," said an enthused Jeremy. "If he can do this, it could open up doors for everyone in adult. It'll open up doors for adult performers getting mainstream roles.
"There could be a day in Hollywood where doing a hardcore scene will be no big deal, just part of the acting process. You'll see the Screen Actors Guild sending people down to AIM to get tested," he added.
