Banana Guy for April: Hans Berlin

Hans Berlin was born in Bavaria. He's a handsome, meaty man with a mouth-watering bit of German sausage between his legs.

Hans initially moved to the US to study acting. He started in New York, then made his way to Los Angeles, hoping to find work as a mainstream actor. Things didn't quite go as planned.

He became a nude model. He worked as a go-go dancer. And he eventually started doing porn.

Talking to OUTtv, Hans revealed: "[In 2011] I got very frustrated with Hollywood and had more and more offers from the adult film industry because of my dance jobs in the clubs of Los Angeles. So I thought: 'Ok! Why not?' I had my first meeting with Titan and shot my very first scene with them a short time later.

"I treat adult movies like an acting job. Yes, we do have real sex on camera, but there’s still a lot of acting involved."

Did he tell his family?

“I told my parents when I went to the US that I am a dancer, like from Magic Mike,” Berlin said during an interview with Nick Mazzaro. “I’m thinking of telling them, but why? When I’m home, I can just be me, and the whole world is behind me.

“I’ve only told my older brother. He lives a pretty regular life. He still lives in our hometown. He’s jealous of all my travel and all the sex I have [even though he's straight]."

Differences between people in the US and Germany?

"We Germans tend to view everything negatively," he shared with Manner Media. "But we are more honest! Here in America, people are more likely to look for something good about you and compliment you on your nose, for example, than tell you how shitty you look after a night of drinking"

Berlin, under his real name Florian Klein, created the musical Shooting Star about the gay porn biz.

"[...] it was in the fall of 2012, a few months after I got into the adult industry," he told DNA. "I’d just shot one of my first scenes with Jessy Ares, a singing porn star, and we were joking about a musical porn scene with singing and sex. When I went home that night the idea took shape in my head – why not write a porn musical? At first I wasn’t sure about the tone of the show and called it Porn – The Musical. But once I outlined the story it became clear I wanted to create a sincere and honest, yet magical, portrayal of the gay porn world and not a camp-and-corny porn musical. "

What did people expect from the musical?

"People were expecting porn scene after porn scene, with a throbbing musical underscore without any plot … nor clothes," Berlin explained. "While I was talking about a gay couple finding their way through the thicket of porn shoots, twitter demands and drug abuse. It was a headache. But thankfully, five minutes into our [performance], people were caught up in the story of Taylor looking for love and fame."
