You might not know his name, but if you've watched porn at some point in the last 30 years, you're probably familiar with Rocco Siffredi's ten-inch-plus schlong. Nicknamed "the Italian Stallion," the 52-year-old has appeared in over 1,500 adult movies and slept with nearly four times as many women, making him a porn icon on par with Ron Jeremy or John Holmes.
Born Rocco Tano in Abruzzo, Italy, the porn star's mother originally wanted him to be a priest. But the altar boy had the "devil between his legs," as he refers to his own penis, and a career in adult entertainment became more-or-less inevitable once he went looking for it. He's fucked through four generations of porn, from starring in 35mm feature-length movies with scripts and plots, to his constant work during the VHS, DVD, and online eras of XXX production. Now, though, Siffredi seems to have had enough of the smut game. He recently announced his retirement, a claim he's made multiple times in the past. But, as the father of two, it remains to be seen if his legendary dick will no longer be in the spotlight.
Yet these biographical facts do not interest French filmmakers Thierry Demaiziere and Alban Teurlai. Their extraordinary documentary Rocco, which recently premiered at the Venice Film Festival, is a portrait of the porn star that tries to make sense of his mind. It's an introspective look at Siffredi, who opens up about the death of his brother, his sexual reaction to his mother's death, his relationship with his wife and two children, and, of course, why he likes performing carnal acts on film so much. Mostly though, the film deals with the porn star's Catholic guilt. Think Boogie Nights if directed by Martin Scorsese.
The film starts in the only way possible: a close up on Siffredi's penis. We then watch as he casts porn actresses for a movie he's directing, taking his time to ensure that the actresses are prepared and ready for the sexual extremes he desires on camera, be it anal close-ups or rough play involving choking. The filmmakers then follow Rocco to Budapest, where his wife Rozsa Tano lives, and then trail him during trips to Italy and Los Angeles. Through their subject, the directors offer bigger-picture insight into the porn industry, detailing, for example, the extremes some performers are willing to go to be successful.
One of the most harrowing scenes involves a woman putting Siffredi's fingers into her mouth, mimicking a blow job, but going so deep throat that tears well up in her eyes. Siffredi is fascinating, celebratory, and depraved all at the same time. We chatted with Rocco Siffredi after the documentary's premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

VICE: Why make this documentary now?
Rocco Siffredi: I was approached a few times to make a documentary, the first by a Polish director when I was 40. At that age, I just didn't think that I had many things to say, even though I had been in the business for 20 years. Then came some Italian filmmakers, but I believed that Italian people wouldn't understand sexuality without prejudice. Then came the French [directors, Thierry Demaiziere and Alban Teurlai]. You could say I was born in France, at least artistically, because that is where I became a porn star.
I met with the directors and they said that they wanted to do a movie about porn but needed a leader, and they thought I could be that leader. After a few hours of talking, they changed their mind, and said they wanted to focus the whole story on me. And I think it was a time in my life when everything was becoming more problematic, so I wanted to do this movie as a way to pull out everything that was inside of me.
You speak about the deaths of your mother and brother in the documentary. Was that hard to talk about?
You know, in my life, I have lived with a lot of suffering. When you are six years old and you lose your brother and see your mother become crazy due to pain, it's impossible to stay normal. It's impossible to forget this pain. All of a sudden, what you want to do is something that would make this life less and less hard. These tragedies are the reason I was ready to do anything.
Anthony Bell
So why porn?
I was already very sexually active at age 11, and I remember that all the other guys around me had zero sexual experience, so I knew that I was something special. But that was not the main thing. The main thing was always to try to give something back to my mother to help with the pain she suffered at my brother's death.
Also, I remember finding this magazine when I was 13, and in it were photos of this guy named Supersex who used to be a famous porn star in the 70s. There were photos of him fucking a brunette, then you'd turn the page and he'd be fucking a blonde, then you'd turn the page and he'd be fucking a redhead, then you'd turn the page and he'd be fucking all three of them. I saw that and said I want to do this business. I called my older brother who lived in Paris and told him this, and he said, "You are crazy." At 16, I called him again and he said, "You didn't give up? You are completely crazy!" I called again when I was 20, and he told me if you go to a swinger's club, you are going to find some porn people who can help you. I did that, and it worked. People saw me having sex in front of everybody, and from that day on ,my life changed. I was in paradise.
Why do you call your penis "the devil between your legs"?
Because the devil takes your body. It's not you taking him. For so many years, I used sex for my convenience. When sex is using you, however, that means you are addicted, and it's the devil. It is the same if you take drugs or alcohol—all this is what I call the devil. When he is using you, he makes you do anything he wants. He makes you do things that you really don't enjoy, but you do them anyway.
Nathan Lee
This is not the first time you've talked about retiring. What happened when you were 40 and said you'd be working just behind the camera as a director?
I tried to retire for my children. I wanted to stop performing in front of the camera by the time they were teenagers and were ready to have sex themselves. I tried to do things on the other side of the camera in order not to hurt them. On the other side, I fucked up so many times. First of all, I hurt myself by stopping. Secondly, I started to go to hookers two or three times a day. So three times a day: hooker, hooker, hooker... because I was so used to having that much sex.
Did that affect your marriage?
Of course it did, but I'm with a very smart woman who understood my situation. She told me, you need no go back in front of the camera. If that is what you miss, and you're seeing hookers to replace [performing], then what's the point of retiring?
Was it unusual for you to pay to have sex, rather than being the one getting paid?
Yes, and there was a thing that sometimes happened which was kind of funny. The [sex workers] would see my dick, say, WOW, this is big, why don't you do porn? Fuck, this happened to me several times when I went to hookers. I'd reply, "Yeah, I'll think about it."
What's it like always talking about the size of your dick?
"How many centimeters is your dick?" is often the first question I'm asked, so I'm used to it. I know that my work is my dick. I know that when I work, it is two people working: me and my dick. We are both famous—it's not only me, it's him too. In my head, that has always been clear. I'm not disappointed. I don't feel like I'm an object. I work with my dick and I've never had any problem with this. Never.
Charles Roberts
How do you think that porn has changed over the course of your career?
I went through four different generations, and there is a big difference from when I started and today. Before, you had two scenes a week, there was so much dialogue, we shot on 35mm, etc. It took more time to change the camera position, the lights, and everything, and so the sex was very short. There was a lot of dialogue, a lot of comedy, and a lot of structure. Today, there is only sex, so much sex, and zero dialogue. There is no longer any romance. Everything is just different shots of the female body: shots of just the tits, shots of just the feet, shots of just anal [penetration]. Lately, most of the girls do three-pole anal, and sometimes you don't even touch the girl; there are just three dicks stuck together. It's something that is completely different than what used to be porn.
Is it better or worse?
It's much worse now. Me, I'm somebody who fucks a woman with heart, and I need the connection, I need to use my hands, I need to use the smell, I need to use the power. I need to use everything. Today, there is no time to do all this. They don't even care. They just need bodies. Bodies, Bodies, Bodies. New people. New dicks. I don't like sex without connection. We don't have the money to do [full-length narratives] like we used to. The business has changed because the internet fucked up everything. No one has the budget to make big movies with a storyline.
I like the internet because it gives people who have no money, who live in a country where the girls are invisible, the opportunity to still dream about seeing a pretty girl do incredible stuff [online]. On the other side, unfortunately, it's completely ruined the business. There's free sex all over the place, so why should you pay?
Caleb Wood
You got Kelly Stafford to come out of retirement for your final film? Why was that important?
Kelly is the biggest porn star ever for me. She is the porn star. In one way, she is like me as a woman.
Is she more powerful than you because she is a woman?
One hundred percent. There is no doubt. She is very powerful. I am attracted to people who are special. I've always been attracted to special people. When they say, this person is crazy, she is absolutely crazy, that means she must be unbelievable. I don't like average people. I don't like regular people. They are really boring for me.
Do you think you will ever retire, since you keep coming back?
I've said that after this film, I will never answer this again. It means I will never say I'll retire or I'll come back. At the moment it is off, but I will never say that I won't come back.
If he's not going to be upfront and honest why would I watch this shit?

What I remember from the 90's films I saw with Rocco was that he always laid on his back with his legs in the air getting his asshole licked. Whitch seemed quite gay. I mean surely it feels nice, but that's not what I want to see, he shouls make porn for the viewers pleasure, not his own.
Kinda shocked when I saw new films with him in rhe 2010's he's all violent and mean. I saw there was a film eith him and Faye reagan(my favorite at the time) but could not fap to it cause he was to aggresive.
:/
Austin Garcia
It isnt?
Parker Edwards
>is only smellz
Levi Williams
>ten-inch-plus schlong Ok, lets see. My dick is exactly 7 inches long and I'm 5'11". When I'm standing up with an erect penis it almost reaches my belly button, maybe with half an inch to actually reach it. Looking at pictures of Rocco his dick would reach his belly button, but not pass it. That means if he's my height his dick is no more than 8 inches long, and I'm pretty sure he's an ultra manlet.
Joseph Ramirez
You're an idiot.
Matthew Martin
Go away, Rocco.
Juan Mitchell
That's what so fucking great about him. He is a man for making a woman submit to his cock and properly fucks them, something most male porn stars fail at.

Joseph Jones
it bothers you because you are not paid to have your dick sucked
>Raced into the door and, lo and behold, in a striking contrast from the 1986 days of pause-rewinding “Porky’s Revenge,” Ma has taken an unexpected day off from work and has decided to delight me by whipping up some spaghetti for her son. Ma’s all “Can you get out the Parmesan cheese? It’ll be ready in 10 minutes, go wash up, and I race down to the GAME ROOM to slap this fucking GLORY into the VHS, knowing my SPAGHETTI BONANZA is almost ready, and it’s this porno called “ROCCO UNLEASHED.” Title comes on and this dead-eyed Italian cipher who looks like Troy Aikman on downers is strolling around in some establishing footage, I’m pounding on the FF button with pre-ejaculate in full effect, then a minute in, some NAKED CHICK is playing with her vag and I’m like WOAH WOAH WOAH and with a 2/3 limp dick FULL ON BLAST A LOAD into my jeans before Rocco so much as starts fucking. This was a moment a decade in the making. I came in my pants over a chick rubbing her vag then went up, hosed down, and couldn’t wait to see what erotic glories were contained past the 2 minute mark.
>Turns out it was Rocco fucking 10 or 12 chicks in an apparent stupor, and after all this time I had my dream in my hands…. Of watching some zonked-out cipherous idiot fuck a bunch of chicks on my TV set. I still watched the tape again and again, and a real highlight of ‘ROCCO UNLEASHED” is near the end when GOD ROCCO is balls deep in a haze fucking one of the chicks and kinda glazes over then a light bulb goes off and he deadpans, “Hey! Who’s the chick who wanted to get fucked in the ass?” And he proceeds to fuck some chick in the ass. As long as I live, I’ll never get to utter those glorious words or that glorious command outside of my late-night daydreams in my general costume.

Christopher Torres
His secret is that he fucks guys & trannys on the side.
Joseph Jackson
This is pure inference, but I think that, besides just being a horny fuck who likes MILFs, he's doing porn to make money to raise his kid. His wife must be a cuck.
His dick is nicer. It has a nice thiccness. I wouldn't even give yours half a succ.
Nathaniel Powell
He has AIDS, or cancer. Or both. He looks JUST as fuck, compared to what he looked like five years ago. All these years fucking hookers and trannies in Brazil must've taken a toll on his health. That, or fucking Belladonna.
Anthony Perry
I don't get this infatuation with pornstars, particularly male ones. Yes, he fucked a lot of women, but they were paid to do so. Also most of them seem to have daddy issues. Is someone who fucks tons of prostitutes but doesn't film it equally worthy of praise?
Eli Cruz
It's because of the performance. When you jack off you identify with the guy fucking the woman. Nobody wants to identify with some guy who's a boring fuck.

His dick is comically big and it ruins scenes for me because the woman is basically fucking a baseball bat. Also he looks like that nerdy guy who always talks about porn and how big his dick is but no one believes him. That being said,good for him,he gets to fuck beautiful women and he gets paid for it.

I think girls would actually be excited about the idea at first. Then you actually start fucking and they can barely take 75% of it, that is if you're "lucky" and the girl has a gaping fucking vagina. His co-stars can rarely take all of it and those are literal whores.

Don't listen to gossip columnists and sensationalist media. He never said that he has a 10+ inches dick. His "official" penis size is 23 cm (nobody in italy uses cuck units like inches and feet), which is about 9". Seems fair.
