Hi. I want to be a JAV actor but....
I'm male, 42 and Australian and probably not the best looking but I am not at all overweight....
Do I have a snowballs chance in hell or should I just give up now?

Physical appearance/ability aside, unless you have a spouse visa or permanent residency, you can't legally work in AV.

Well, Russian hell is cold so snowballs do feel like home there. But if you have to ask here then yep, maybe it is best to give up.

I know some guys who do modelling in Tokyo have been asked for auditioning but other than that it is going to be an uphill battle.
 
Well unless there is an extreme shortage of Western trained Chefs, I have got no chance of getting a work visa let alone permanent residence. And I had so many cool ideas for movies too!!!
 
There is one white dude that appears in the JAV... so it's not impossible.... however he seems to be rather proficient in Japanese language... If no nihongo skillz, then even snowball no chance in hell or Japan...
Unless....... you can find Japanese girls in Aus. willing to be in AV and do your own production/video on that side.... Then you can have all your ideas become reality ? ?

The other option is to find a really hot Japanese girl who is willing to do AV for a Japanese company and then tells them she wants to work with you in her first video.

Yeah, I'd take the chances of the snowball before this scheme but as said it is not impossible.

I plan to try to do some modeling gigs in Tokyo through a good friend that knows a manager of a modeling company.

I had no idea models get asked to audition in AV... especially foreign male models. Of course, foreign female models must be getting asked left and right...

Do you know any of these models and a specific situation where one was asked to audition in an AV?

Asking the real questions ;)

Yeah, considering many of the bottom actors in gay movies are claimed to be straight. If so then they do work hard for the money, my hat's off for them.

I will take a lack of reply to my question as proof that what you heard is just hearsay.

The idea that photographers doing a fashion shoot of foreign male models are connected to the AV market that would also go out of their way to ask these models to audition for AV sounds a bit reaching...

Another approach is to take it as a complete lack of interest in my part.

Nobody claimed anything you imply. Rather guys making a lot of modelling work get their name out there for everyone to see and some of them have been contacted later by AV studios to ask if they are interested in doing a test shoot.

So you are saying foreign male models you know have actually been asked to test shoot for AV with Japanese women by a Japanese company?

I thought Japanese only hired black guys for AV and not white guys.

I have only seen like two white guys in an AV with Japanese women in Japan and their videos looked amateur...as in probably not made with the help of a Japanese AV company.

I'm not saying you are wrong. I believe you to a degree, but there must be more to it.

These guys must have been doing modelling in Tokyo for years before receiving such a special offer right?
 
I know two of such guys. Both in their 20's and white as snow. The other one had done modelling for four years, the other less than two.

I don't know which company the first guy got his invitation, but he was not interested. The second guy got contacted by a fairly new AV company who said they were doing a series of Japanese girls getting it on with foreigners. He even got the script suggestions and shared them with me. Very basic stuff, nurse in hospital taking care of a foreign patient, exchange student and the host family's daughter etc.

LOL! Those are actually pretty appealing scenarios :D:ROFLMAO: Could be quite nice if well done! After too much kink.com hardcore that’s downright wholesome.

I'm near my mid-thirties, so I assume I'm "too old" to do modelling and AV here right?

I had a prediction that maybe Japan will be more open to foreigners doing AV due to the aging population problem...but who knows.

I fail to see the relevance if it's not that not so much porn needs to be done anymore as the grandpa's don't spank the monkey as much as the younger folks.

There is always a surplus of guys who want to appear in porn movies. That's why they are paid next to nothing and it's still a very difficult market to enter. The most common advice is to find a really hot young girl who is willing to do some films but who says her requirement is work with you in her first film. That would let you get your dick between the door and started.

Well, aside from the aging population Japan seems to be slowly offering foreigners more types of work and they seem more open to foreigners than say 20 years ago.

I found a modelling agency that hires foreigners of various ages here:

I still assume getting into AV is probably based more on being in your twenties than being good looking and in your thirties lol.

Many modelling agencies have actually given preference to foreign models for ages already. Look at the clothes advertisements for example (well, I never do but have been told); there is way more foreign looking faces there than would be just with a random selection. Foreign looks sell clothes and other consumer goods.

But I would not worry about the age thing too much. As much as you and I have problems guessing the ages of the Japanese ladies they also have problems guessing how old we are.

Yes, I always see foreigners in ads or on big billboards.

I still wonder if AV companies ever turn down male foreigners after they confirm their age.

Hey you are a handsome guy...what you are 34? Forget it...you are too old man! lol

The only way we can find out is for you to get accepted to a movie! :p

whatever the age of the male actor the main attraction will be the girl in most porn videos. you don't even need to show the man's face actually.
