Ron Jeremy recently debated Craig Gross, one of the founders of the Christian porn ministry, XXXChurch.com, in front of a raucous audience at Northeastern University in Boston.
Jeremy billed the spirited debate last Thursday before 1,100-plus students as “the porn star meets the bible thumper.” The Metro Studios contract star said both he and Gross wanted the debate to happen.
“The nice thing about it is I checked their website, and he did say I was a nice guy. He likes to say he won and I like to say I won,” Jeremy told AVN.com Monday. “He says nice things there and there are pictures of me and him posing with the police and girls.”
While Jeremy was cheered throughout and received a standing ovations, Gross was booed upon his introduction.
“It was a great meeting and it was a brutal debate,” Jeremy continued. “We were friends off the stage, and on the stage we were on it, tearing each other apart. But afterward we went and had coffee and talked for two hours. I think he’s a nice guy, and I don’t even mind what he does. I’m glad he’s there. I don’t have a problem with it.”

Meanwhile, Jeremy said he has been selected to star in the next "Surreal Life," which features the top 10 most popular people from previous series.
“I’m proud to be one of them,” he said, noting that Robin Leach would be hosting the “Surreal Life Fame Games” on the show where the celebrities will compete for a major cash bonus.
Jeremy will be sequestered in a house in Las Vegas beginning on March 21.
