There is quite a bit of buzz surrounding the British porn star, Charlie Pattinson. While most people may know him from his many adult film appearances, there is so much more to this versatile talent. Aside from modelling and performing in adult films, Charlie is also a talented songwriter and musician. He has even released an album in 2017 called, ‘The Hardest Part’, which features some incredibly popular songs! We were lucky enough to speak with Charlie about all aspects of his life and career, so check out the interview below.
Your Track Record Is Nothing To Be Ashamed Of
I feel very blessed to have been able to make a name for myself in this industry, especially since it’s such a competitive one. Of course, I’ve never been concerned about my track record because I have always maintained that anything is possible if you work hard and don’t give up. I certainly didn’t expect to become the go-to guy for interracial porn when I first started doing solo scenes, but because I was willing to experiment and try new things, I eventually ended up in that kind of content. One of my proudest moments was when I released a video in 2015, called ‘Huge Cock’. It was an interracial scene where I was sucking off a great big black cock. I had never performed an interracial scene before, so I was a bit nervous about how it was going to turn out, but the fans really liked it and it gave me the confidence to continue exploring my own kinks. Another way I’ve kept my reputation is by never signing any official contracts with any of the studios, since I’ve been doing this for so long, I know how toxic some of those agreements can be. The only times I’ve ever felt like I needed a contract was when I first started out and was filming with a lesser-known studio. I wasn’t sure how serious they were about making adult films, so I needed something to hold them to. Luckily, that didn’t last long and now I’m not seen with any studio affiliations. All of this being said, I wouldn’t change a thing about how I’ve built my reputation. It’s definitely not easy to get where I am today, so I’m very grateful to have found such a supportive audience who believes in me and my work.
How Do You Feel About Your Body?
I’ve always felt very comfortable in my own skin. I’ve never felt like I needed to have my body adjusted by a doctor or life coach. For the most part, I love how I look and feel. Of course, every once in a while, I’ll have an insecurities, doubt or worry about a certain area of my body, like my belly or my arms, but for the most part, I feel great. I’ve come to realize that everyone’s body is different and that’s a wonderful thing. I’ve also tried to make the most of my body. I feel like a lot of people hide themselves away from social situations because they feel that they’re not good enough, or that someone will find out about their body. For me, I’ve always loved how I look and being comfortable in my own skin has definitely helped me to avoid being overly critical of myself. I love being able to celebrate the body positivity movement and all the wonderful differences there are in this world. Some people are naturally tall, some shorter, some thicker, some thinner. Some people have long hair, some don’t. Some people are skinnier than others, but that’s all part of the charm. I feel very lucky to have been born into this world and to feel good about myself in the way that I do.
How Is Your Social Life?
I’m very blessed to have a wonderful wife and daughter who bear me no ill will for being successful. They’ve always been there for me during my up-times and down-times. My family and I spend a lot of time together. We love going for walks, going to the cinema and spending quality time together. During the week, I’ll be working hard to make sure I have enough time for my personal life. I like to cook and entertain family and friends with my massive collection of vinyl. My hobbies outside of work include playing rugby and listening to music. I’m always looking for new things to do, so if there’s anyone who would like to join me, let me know!
On the topic of my work, I’m happy to say that I’ve never really felt the need to hide myself away from the public or talk to people about my work. I’ve always felt that my work and the people who work with me, are a part of my own private life and I love sharing that with people who share my passion for porn. When I was first starting out, I would do private shows for family and friends, just to get my name out there. I didn’t really feel the need to keep my work private, until my girl Elle MacLeman approached me about shooting a porno for her. At the time, I was working for this adult company and I’d never done anything like that before, so I was a bit nervous. I figured that if this was something that excited me, then maybe it was something that I could grow to enjoy. I’m so glad that I gave it a try, because now when I meet new people and they ask me about my work, I have the perfect story to tell them. It’s not a career that I’ve chosen, it’s just something that I’ve always done and enjoyed. I’ve had my ups and downs, just like anyone else, but I’ve always looked at my work in the same way I look at food. It’s something that gives me pleasure and satisfaction, so I continue to do it, even when it’s not easy.
How Do You Feel About Hardcore, Vivid, Or Nudie-Cuts?
I love it when a girl takes control and knows what she wants. I also enjoy a bit of a fetish scene, especially if it’s with a girl who knows exactly what she’s doing and isn’t afraid to ask for what she wants, regardless of whether it’s socially acceptable or not. The older I get, the more of a masochist I become. I love being the boss and seeing a girl struggle, as I bring my A-game and give it to her as hard as I can, knowing that she needs it to survive. When it comes to hardcore porn, I love the challenge that it presents and the sense of competition that it creates. I like it when girls are into pain as much as I am, so when I have a scene with a girl who hates her nipples being pinched, then we’re gonna have some serious nipple torment happening on camera.
I love it when girls are into fashion and love to try new things. I often get requests for outfits that I’ve worn in past films, so it makes me happy to know that my work still has an effect on my fans. It’s always great when a girl can recognize a detail from a scene and remind me of it months later. I like to think that my work has an effect not just on my fans, but on society as a whole. It can be a tool to educate people about kinks, fetishes and sexual boundaries, so I feel like it has a positive impact, even though it’s often not the kind of thing that people want to admit. To me, there’s nothing more attractive than a woman who is confident, classy and knows what she wants. That’s what I strive for in all that I do, both on and off camera.
