John Legendary Talks Career Shift to New York Post

LOS ANGELESJohn Legendary has officially announced his availability for full-time studio work, as the former part-time adult performer opened up to the New York Post about his professional transition from an engineer at a defense contracting company to a performer.

In the new feature interview, Legendary, a two-time AVN Award winner, Best Foursome/Orgy Scene in 2023, and this year's fan Award for Favorite Male Indie Creator, discussed his job termination, presumably due to cost-cutting but more likely the discovery of his onscreen work when his supervisor hinted that she knew his identity.

Legendary shared, "We got a new senior supervisor a few weeks ago, and she kept hinting… she was like 'You look familiar, have we met before?' I work remote, so she would only see me on Zoom… [but] she kept mentioning it."

Legendary explained that he began shooting amateur adult content "out of curiosity."

He added, "I was in the hotwife lifestyle… I would f–k wives while the husbands would film me, so I was doing that and I was comfortable with husbands filming… I was f–king these wives for free. I was just doing that as my Saturday night hobby, my kink I did on the weekend. What would it be like to f–k pornstars and get paid for it?"

Legendary currently produces original content through his LegendaryX.com website.

He continued, "I’m from Detroit, Michigan and I’m like, hmmm, I’d love to be a porn star one day… you’d watch your dad’s VHS tapes and be like 'Man, I want to do that one day,' but you don’t really think you can actually do it. But when you live in LA, you’d be surprised by what you can actually make happen."
