Ever wonder about today’s porn stars and what they were like before anyone knew who they were. In this series from Homegrown Video you get the chance to see them as unknown amateurs making home videos long before they became names in the adult industry. Homegrown has been supplying real amateur videos since 1983 and over the years a number of future porn stars got their first taste of on camera sex in an amateur video put out by Homegrown. In this one you get to see a very young James Deen with a girl named Gia, plus Sasha Grey, Lela Star, Bree Olson and a couple of others.
It begins with our female interviewer off camera asking Gia a lot of questions about her sexuality, first time what she likes etc. before Deen is introduced to her. They move from the patio to inside the house and the living room. Here they go right at it and it is not the intense, tough Deen we see today. Instead it is a very steady go for the gusto Deen throughout. He does some good oral on her and she returns the favor, even trying to deep throat him. Then Deen works her over in a variety of positions and she responds enthusiastically. When he’s read to pop, she sucks him and then takes a blast to her mouth and face very willingly. After it’s over the interviewer asks how she liked it and gave Deen a big thumbs up.
The second scene with Sasha Grey was obviously filmed in a hotel room and Sasha looks every bit the innocent teen. However, she is in charge here and really gets things going in a hurry with no wasted time. She sucks, she fucks and she shows why she would become a big star in a short time. She is extremely enthusiastic and loves getting boned hard and heavy throughout until she’s ready to explode and then have the guy explode in her mouth. It’s a nice look at a future star when she was still unknown.
There are more scenes to follow, one with Lela Star and Reno that has the usual interview and then is one wild fuck and suck session. That’s followed by Evelyn Lin who also does a scene with Reno and Mia Lina follows that one. It wraps up with Bree Olson in her very first time on camera long before Charley and long before adult stardom. Watching her segment it was easy to see why Bree became such an instant success. Not only did she have the looks and body, but her enthusiasm and love for sex was off the chain!
Of course being amateur scenes, the camera work is not the greatest in every scene, but the action is pretty darn good for the most part. If you want to see some stars before they were stars in porn then this is a fun series to get hold of. I recommend getting “Before They Were Porn Stars 3” from Homegrown Video and also checking out the first two volumes as well.
