Our penii only recently picked up on The Daddy that is Adam Russo. Maybe it’s the appearance of the beard. Who knows? But we’re grateful. We’re oh so grateful. So we thought we’d catch up with him and discuss interior design, how to discover your porn name and his plans to try out mainstream acting…

Hey Adam, you used to work in fashion and interior design, right? What did you do and why did you leave?
I worked for Geoffrey Beene and Joan Vass in NYC for many years. After that I worked for myself, serving my high end clients needs from everything from alterations to custom clothing. I left because I wanted to move onto bigger more permanent designs. That’s why I went into interior design working for a high-end architect.

Do you think anyone uses that porn name formula? Your first pet and the street you grew up on. Or is there another you think people might use?
God, I hope they don’t…that would be the most ridiculous way of picking a porn name. You need to go with what feels right. Ask yourself who do you want to become or what fits you personally. I picked my first name from a boy I had a crush on when I was very very young. The last name is a real last name that is memorable and harkens back to previous porn stars and my Italian heritage. It’s a name I can live with that can travel well with me in all my endeavors.

Were you happy to move across to the role of Daddy or were you like, ‘Wait I have a few years left yet!’
I started in this game very late. I was out building other careers before coming into porn. So I really had been a daddy all the time. I like it. I love when a boy calls me Sir or Daddy. It gets me excited. Even my boyfriend calls me Papa. To me Daddy represents respect and Authority which I personally like.

When I was researching other interviews of you, I found porn Wikileaks and was disgusted by what they were saying. What do you think of the site? How do you deal with shit online?
Wikileaks was created by someone who hates the porn industry and most of the people targeted are female porn performers. They hacked a porn companies files to post the performers licenses, addresses, etc. And then proceed to make up shit about them. At first I was angry but now I don’t give a flying fuck. Once you start to engage a faceless person you are only putting coal on their fire. Take away the coal or the air and the fire burns out. I’m not sure why some people feel the need to put out so much hateful energy. I choose not to listen.

Not many guys would do straight scenes like you have with Divine Bitches. What made you want to give it a go? Do you find getting a hard on with women an issue?
I figured why not…women are beautiful too. You have to try everything in life have fun and spice things up. I don’t have a problem getting hard for women or men that I find attractive. I just prefer sex with men and living my life with a man. I personally hate labels.. they are meaningless to me.

You’d been going out with Cutler X for a while. Can we ask what happened? Would you film with him again?
I did for 2.5 years. I met my current boyfriend, Joe and fell in love with him. I wasn’t planning it nor was he. It wouldn’t have mattered if the relationship with Cutler was open or closed it would have still happened. I still absolutely love and adore Cutler but I’m just not IN love with him. I would certainty work with him again. We are still friends.

Where did you meet Joe? How long have you been seeing each other?
Joe hit me up on facebook with two words. Many guys hit me up for a variety of reasons. I looked at his pics and thought right away he was hot. Then I looked at his other pics and saw that he was friends with people I knew and liked in LA. So I answered him back and before you know it we met…Just to have fun. It didn’t quite turn out that way. We have been seeing each other for 5 months now. I can’t imagine my life without him. I love him heart and soul.

You’ve said you’re breaking into mainstream acting – in a show called Immortalz. The FB and Twitter pages no longer exist though. Has something happened?
Yes, something has happened and it’s all good. Our budget has increased we have a major studio filming it. We are now getting paided and SAG eligible. It’s all so exciting. As for the FB and twitter they are keeping it a bit quieter until after we film the pilot which is coming up soon.

Awesome! We desperately miss SF. You’re based there, right? Which clubs do you go to there?
I’m based in LA and have been for quite some years now. So to answer your question. I love the Powerhouse in the SOMA area. It’s one of my favorite places for drinks etc. I love going to Cafe Flor for breakfast. I also love and I mean love the grilled cheese sandwich at Hi Tops. You must try it!!! As for LA, I like Revolver where I used to work. For restaurants and eateries: Basix, Kitchen 24, Ink and Taste to name a few. There are many bars I go to when I’m out and about. I actually love bar hopping.

Lastly we ask everyone, but what is your favorite Mariah Carey song?
Sorry, but I’m just not a fan.

Ah well, you can’t please everyone. Thanks Adam!
