Mickey Taylor: The GayPornBlog Interview

Posted September 11, 2015 3:00 PM by with 0 comments

It’s officially Mickey Taylor Week here on Gay Porn Blog, if you haven’t already noticed.

Although the model/singer/porn star has worked for British studios like UK Naked Men, Blake Mason, and Staxus (where he was an exclusive), as well as Cockyboys, and Men.com, we finally got to see his NakedSword Originals debut with Bray Love in Hooker Stories 3 this week after he singed on to be as an exclusive with NS back in May.
mickey_taylor_hooker-stories-3I had the opportunity to spend the afternoon with the handsome young fashion plate in SF the day after he filmed this scene before he flew back to U.K. We talked about everything like what it’s like to have his own momager to his musical influences. There are a lot of young gay porn stars out there who have ambitions to take over the world, but few who actually are getting around to doing it.

Let’s start with some questions I always try to ask in the GayPornBlog Interview: Tell us something nobody knows about Mickey Taylor?

This is hard; I’m an open book I tell people everything.

Name three things that are always in your fridge.
Milk, Cheese, a good bottle of white wine (a good red too).

Name three people (living or dead) you would invite to a dinner party.
Taylor Swift, Hayley Williams (from Paramore), and Whoopi Goldberg.

You started as an Exclusive for Staxus. What was it like shooting with them?

Well, they’re a bareback studio. Although they tested us every day, I didn’t like the nagging thing at the back of my mind that something could happen.

How did you get into porn?

Basically my mom was like, “Do it: Get in the industry. It’ll be fun” and I tried it and I fell in love.

You mom?!

(Laughs) She’s my manager. I’ve been a model since I was ten. She’s always looked after me and got me work. We’re very close and she always knows what I wanted. For 3 months I had a staxxis after me and I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t think I should do it — I had no interest. My mom said I was crazy … she said, “You’re only young once and you’re only going to look this way once so have fun with it.”

You have a Momager just like a Kardashian! Pretty awesome you two have such a great relationship. I’ve found that to be rare in the porn world. 

We didn’t for a long time. We didn’t speak for a number of years. But we fell in love with each other again. She goes to all the events and knows all the stars and she’s the mom that everyone loves. My fans love her and she has her own fanbase.

It’s one thing to accept your son as gay, but hearing that he does drag or porn is another thing. It’s the 21st century people should be more accepting. It’s nice to see people like my mom accepting that times are changing and things are different now.

Do you think she’s ever watched any of your scenes though?

No, never! She follows me on twitter and when she sees pictures she flicks up really quickly.

mickey-taylor-gaypornblogDid you get paid more when you did scenes bareback?

We used to — it was the difference between£200 vs.£750, but not anymore in the UK. Bareback studios are paying performers $150 per scene now. Bareback UK studios would test you day of the scene and monthly. But I don’t think that system works, and that’s why I don’t do bareback anymore.

Have you experienced any pushback from studios because of your bareback work? 

I’ve worked for Falcon, Cockyboys, Men.com, and none of them have ever discriminated against me for that.

What’s been your favorite scene to film so far?
My scene bottoming for Frankie V. for Cockyboys. The chemistry was intense. Artisitcally, it was beautifully filmed. The imagery was incredible.


How’d you come up with your porn name?

Through my love of Disney. I picked the most friendliest happiest thing and turned it filthy. It came from Mickey Mouse.

Have you been to Disney World?

No, but I want to.

What’s your favorite Disney movie?

The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Mulan, because of Mu-Shu, Eddie Murphy’s character. He’s the shit. He’s amazing.


[Watch The Full Scene Here]

Mickey Taylor porn starWhat’s your home life like? 

I live with housemate in Manchester.

But you don’t live with your boyfriend.

There’s no way I could live with my him. I’d kill him.

Why did you choose to live in Manchester? 

It’s like the gay porn capitol. There’s at least 10 gay studios there.

Not London?

London’s stupidly expensive.

What did you study in school?

Studied law, religious education, math, science, and Japanse the first time. Second time, theater. I’m brainy but I keep it secret. Studying theater segued into music.

Let’s talk about your music.

As far as music and stuff, I want people to know that this album was completely written by me and I produced every single track with my producer. Each song from the minute you hear it to the lyrics is me. The album, Polaroid Prince, is hopefully coming out later this year.

Who are your musical influences? 

Lana Del Ray, Lourde … I’m into indie sound in women. Most male vocalists degrade women. Their music is sexalized. it’s the same shit different day. There’s no beauty or poetry in the lyrics. I wanted to write an album that did that. I wanted it to be about the last year in my life. I got into it reluctantly. I’m sitll in it reluctantly.

Why reluctantly?

I am very shy when it comes to my music. never liked performing at college — I would avoid it, pretend I was sick so I never had to do it. When Someone asked me to produce an album, I said No treaty, it ‘something I have no interest in and your fans had a huge interest in it. I did a demo for fun and it took off. My manger said I’d be the first porn star to put an album.

What’s your song writing process like?

It starts with a word. One of the words is Diamond. I started singing using that word: Diamonds as a metaphor for someone’s eyes — his eyes are so beautiful they could cut a diamond. Then I put what I thought about into a song.

Has writing music changed your perspective on music?

Now when I listen to music I’m very technical. I like music because of people’s tones and range — that’s what sells it to me. Good lyrics, metaphorical lyrics. Other things to explain their emotions. In used drugs lyrically as a way to explain the sex I was having. Like, it was so addictive that there was no way I could detox from him. Lana Del Ray uses cocaine to express her sexual desires. She uses it to explain the darkness and sadness that’s happened to her. Everyone sees the red carpet version of her, but when she’s at home, she’s trying to find a way to numb pain.


porn star mickey taylorAnd you’re also a model!

I’ve had a modeling career since I was 10 years old. I was in commercials when I was a kid, then it went to high fashion and couture. I still do it and it’s amazing and I love it. But it has its demons. It made me ill for a long time. I got bulemia for a long time and I nearly died. When I got into porn I made sure I made people like me for the body I had. I don’t look the “socially accepted” body in porn. I want to make it honest and look sincere and real.

For me, I say I’m the boy next store … I am real. Not some factory made, artificial thing. We don’t want to make people look a certain way. That’s why I like me because I’m not the perfect diamond. I’m a rough diamond.

Best way for fans to get in touch with you?

I always like to end on this question: What’s next for Mickey Taylor:

I want to get this tour done. I’m exhausted but I love this industry and what my fans have dome for me. I’m tired all the time, I feel like shit all the time but I do it as a thank you for my fans. I love seeing their faces and that’s what helps me get through it. I also have a 3-part documentary coming out about my tour — it’s gonna be a web series. I haven’t announced where. My friend Nige Rorbachis directing it.
