Synopsis

Ron Jeremy isn't really what you'd call easy on the eyes. Some would even go so far as to say he's unattractive. Yet he's one of the most popular stars in the history of adult film. His fans call him the "Hedgehog." He's short, fat, and hairy. And he's paid very well to have sex with thousands of beautiful women. Some people would call him the luckiest man in the world. Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy is a fascinating look at America's unlikeliest sex star: -the young boy with the sweet smile and striking eyes, and the dissatisfied porn actor with a voracious appetite and wicked grin. The film is dense with revealing details of his life. He's rich and famous, but he's notoriously cheap. Some of his female "costars" consider him a sweetheart, while others find him repulsive and refuse to work with him. And he scribbles little notes and phone numbers in a ratty old book, literally like a madman.
