He opened up on his ‘fairly horrible’ first experience

A former footballer who moved into the porn industry has admitted that the job isn’t as fun as people may think it is.

Damian Oliver, a former Crystal Palace academy footballer, opened up about his first shoot which saw him only pocket £150.

Speaking on the Anything Goes with James English podcast, Oliver admitted that his first shoot – four years ago – was a “fairly” horrible experience. He said:

“That was terrifying, being on my first set, the camera guy there was a big bald Irishman, he was quite scary – I’ve got to get my d**k out in front of him and start f***ing.”

Oliver added the pressure of being on camera caused him to “shrivel up” however his co-star was “nice” about the situation before he was able to relax.

“It was like laminate flooring, and I was butt-naked and sweating, and I was slipping in my own sweat,” he added.

“We had to keep cutting, I had her bent over the sofa but I kept slipping all across the floor, they had to keep wiping the floor down, I was just a dripping mess.”

Oliver moved into porn after prison stint

After spending time in prison Damian Oliver moved into the industry – looking to earn some cash alongside his full-time job as a painter and decorator – however after meeting his partner Sophia Anderson, decided to work in porn permanently.

“People used to say to me, ‘you’re doing it all anyway’, because they knew I used to sleep with girls, I was a player, and they said, ‘you might as well get paid for it’. But it wasn’t until I had the confidence to actually do it, [that I realised] it was a whole different ball game.

“When I was at Crystal Palace, if I’d have stayed with them, then I could have been earning a lot more playing football. I used to fight as well, maybe that could have gone somewhere.

“I was good at both of those things, but being a porn star, I thought that would be just as good,” Oliver added. “But it’s not as good as people think.”
