Porn Valley- Montana Gunn, 29, was a rare in-studio guest of Sports Swami this past Friday, but Gunn couldn't believe that Swami let her age out on the air.
Swami said he heard rumors of TV pilots and that Gunn had her own company [called Young Guns]. Gunn also said she decided to take a 2 1/2 year "vacation" from the adult business and move to Dallas. Besides that, she's trying to start a company. "But it's more pretty girl stuff," she said. "Playboy-style stuff but it's going to be hardcore, too."
Gunn majored in theater and dance, and, according to her, was standing in line for an audition when somebody came up to her and asked her who did her makeup. "I did- I just graduated from beauty school." Gunn said the guy told her that he had a job for her. "Come down to this studio tomorrow. It pays $250 a day." Gunn thought it was cool but realized it was a porn set. "I was amazed, doing all these beautiful women's hair and makeup." Gunn said a month later they all attacked her. "Where do I sign?"
Gunn also lived next to Mickey Ray. "He introduced me to more of the actors and got me more into it. He started me doing modeling. I was doing all kinds of photos." Gunn said her first big project was with Alex Sanders. "He was in the backroom trying to teach me..." Gunn started making blowjob noises. "Now it's one of my special talents."
Gunn was asked if it was tough for her to find guys. Gunn thinks she comes across as extra super nice and a person who's very friendly. "My love life is very, very good," she said. "I'm not married but I'm trying to have a boyfriend in every state."
Assessing her porn career, Gunn said she's directed and written scripts. "I've helped people produce, direct, everything. I was always the helper, and everybody took my ideas. Now I think I should do it on my own and be there for the new girls that are coming into the business to guide them towards the right direction instead of making the decisions I, unfortunately, had to run across."
Swami wondered whether drugs and partying were factors weighing heavily in Gunn's life. "When you got into the industry everybody saw you as this busty little girl who could do the hardcore scenes and wasn't fake and didn't have an attitude. Was it too soon?"
For her part, Gunn said there was a lot of partying but that she always knew her limits. "I was always in control of myself." Comparing Dallas and L.A., Gunn said when she now visits Los Angeles she thanks God that she doesn't live there any more. "The industry has changed so much." Gunn said her friends are now sober. "I don't see them partying any more. Here and there we'll go out for cocktails but it's not the hardcore partying. Everybody's mellowing out."
Swami asked Gunn why she called her company Young Guns. [Perhaps he never saw the movie.] Gunn thought the name was hot and sexy. "It's in, right now," she answered. "I can't believe nobody had that name incorporated. Everything that I'm into- golf and racing- young people getting into it are all called Young Guns. My mine are going to be strictly young ladies."
Noting that she and a mainstream director were "tight" Swami wondered why she hadn't made the plunge into movies. When it became apparent that Thomas Priest [Michael Raven's brother] was past tense in Gunn's life, Swami wondered why.
"He's a loser," said Gunn. "He's so different from his brother. His brother is so cool." Swami had to be educated as to who Priest was. According to Gunn, she found out about Priest the hard way. "He's a leech," she said. "He's a very bad moocher. And he's just full of it. He'll get punished one way or another."
As far as mainstream, Gunn claims to have done hundreds of extras assignments. "It takes time." Gunn said she just auditioned for a mom role in aPG-13 movie. "But it's very hard to hide my Montana Gunn image." Gunn claims her XXX past caught up with her in that attempt and was of the opinion that mainstream work is a matter of who you know. "But I never had to do anything like that [the casting couch] in the porn business," she said. "Only when I got on to the set."
It was noted that Gunn is a championship softball player, and Gunn said her backyard is a ball field.
Then, in a question that came totally out of left field, right field and centerfield, Swami asked Gunn how Internet radio has transformed the industry. "The industry is so- cyber," Gunn replied. "Everything is Internet. The Internet is adult. It's gotten out of control in a way. It's like who does what and who can get the most extreme. Whatever happened to normal sex?" Gunn was also of the opinion that the legal age in the industry be raised to 21. "You're still a baby, you're still a child. At 21 you can put in pigtails but still have your head on more."
Swami ventured the argument that Gunn might be jealous of an 18 year-old who gets hired because she looks convincing sucking a lollipop. Gunn was willing to concede the issue and wondered where she could find someone to suck her taffy. "It's more, like, whatever happened to normal sex?" she asked. "I would rather see someone who knew what they were doing than be completely over the edge and throwing up on somebody."
Gunn was candid about the fact that companies weren't knocking her door down but credits photog Dr. X with putting out flyers that changed all of that her last time in L.A.. "I was getting calls from Playboy Radio, this company, that company. I was so over booked. I had to turn down at least 30 or more jobs."
Gunn said she works a lot for Pussyman David Christopher. "I walk around Dallas with www.pussyman.com on my shirts! I love him so much. He's the best guy in the world."
When the subject of music came up, Gunn claims to have been a talent scout with Columbia Records. "A long time ago- I was hitting the back of the tour buses..."
Asked how she kept herself in shape, Gunn attributed it to lots of indoor sports. "I drink a lot of protein!"
