Tuesday 18 November, 2008Accidental porn star

A 75-year-old grampa, who mistook a porn audition for a muscle-man show, has become a star in Russia.

According to director Alexander Plahov, "We were auditioning for a new film and had a number of couples on stage simulating sex when I saw an old guy standing at the back. I wandered over to ask him to leave when I saw this massive package straining against his trousers. I thought, now this could be an original idea."

He was right. All the movies David Bozdoganov has made for Gorodcki production company have been huge hits. There's only one hitch, Plahov said. "His female co-stars always complain because David believes in the beneficial power of garlic and insists on rubbing it on his erection before a scene, and it's rather smelly."

Ah! The sweet smell of success.
