Veteran porn actor Rocco Siffredi is looking to train the next generation of adult film stars.
Siffredi, nickname “Italian Stallion,” has launched what could be described as a “University of Porn,” a two-week training program in which he will mentor 21 aspiring porn stars using the knowledge he has gained over appearances in more than 1,300 films.
The “Siffredi Hard Academy” program will be the basis of a new unscripted reality television show, reports Italian news outlet Perfil.
“I want people to know my way of working,” the Adult Video News (AVN) Hall of Famer told Perfil. “I have a normal life, for many perhaps too normal. I do not forget where I come from. Fame did not make me lose touch with reality.”
Siffredi announced his retirement from acting in 2005, only to come back in 2010 with a renewed vigor.
“I spoke with my wife and she said it’s my problem only, it doesn’t belong to her and the boys,” Siffredi told AVN in 2010 of his decision to return from retirement. “And she said, ‘You decide to stop, we never ask you. So if you want to go back, just go back.’ And since I’ve come back I’ve probably had the best time since five years ago, since when I was stopping.”
In March, Siffredi told UK’s Mirror that he would give up acting again after an introspective personal experience he had on the Italian version of the reality TV show Survivor.
