CHATSWORTH—Vivid Entertainment has taken musician John Mayer up on his dream and offered him a writing gig and maybe also a chance to direct. The offer to Mayer, who currently is battling the fallout from his use of the N-word in the same Playboy article in which he waxed poetic about his dream to write porn, was sent in a letter dated Feb. 10.
"When we learned that you make up back stories in your mind and that your 'biggest dream is to write pornography,' we decided we'd like to talk to you about doing just that and maybe directing, too," said Vivid founder and co-chairman Steven Hirsch.
This isn't just some hot B-List celeb, however. Mayer may sometimes talk too much, but his decided chops as both a musician and lothario clearly impressed Vivid.
"We believe your incredible talent and passion, which have touched so many, can translate into a highly erotic adult film," said Hirsch. "Your understanding of the dynamics of relationships would undoubtedly appeal to both men and women. I think that together we can create a highly unique breakthrough film that will appeal to millions of your fans."
And then some.
