Johnny Hardin - 1970s and 1980s straight porn star and nude model
I used to be obsessed with him and I’m gay. I watched all his porn scenes back in the day. I would buy the pornos he was featured in. He was very hot, very Anglo. His dick was perfect size and beautifully pink. He had gorgeous balls.
He was ahead of his time. Back in the 70s and 80s a lot of porn didn’t utilize angles much but he tried to as much as possible. Tons of shots of him fucking a chick with the camera close to his ass with his pink hole visible.
He also went by Gene Carrier and a few other names. He did star in 2 or 3 gay porn flicks when he first started but didn’t fuck a dude. He did two jerk off scenes where he showed hole and busted all over his own face, and one scene with another man where they jerked off together. He wasn’t into it at all, even for money, so he went to straight porn and nude modeling.
Some of his porn scenes are bogus too.
Gene O’Leary (his real name) was born in Bellevue, Washington on January 30, 1956. After he decided he didn’t wanna do porn/nude modeling anymore he moved to Europe for a while to reinvent himself. He later came back to the states and lived in Vegas, where he was a professional poker player. If he’s still alive he is now 69. Last he played poker was 2021.
He’s been on my mind today as I remembered my fav Playgirl models from my youth (he was in a 1980 issue). Hope he’s well.

I always thought he was perfect - great face, body and really beautiful dick and balls.
Here's a poker pic - looks pretty fucking hot STILL - although this was 10 years ago. That would make him 59 according to OP.

I’m in my 30s and only know him because a few years ago while looking through vintage porn (I find vintage straight porn kinda hot for some reason) I came across this video where he was a cowboy. I clicked on the video because the man in the photo looked hot. And he was hot. And It was hot.

This isn’t the whole thing. It’s missing a scene where he fucks some chick in the ass.

I have his very rare scene from an obscure porn saved. Here. It’s from 1978 and in the scene he’s Incredible Hulk. It’s BIZARRE. He had a lot of strange porn scenes in obscure porn films. You can’t even find the scene with sound anymore. It’s silent.

Poker tournaments said he was from Beverly Hills - not sure if that's accurate, but I assume they have to check ID of some kind.
Makes you wonder what arrangement he got himself into.
But he should thank his lucky stars for all the physical gifts granted to him - it's REALLY rare.

Great way to start a thread, OP! Lots of pictures so we can see what you're talking about -including the updates as to his recent activity.. I do recall seeing pics of him from time to time. Pity he's so straight that he can't even do gay-for-pay... Maybe he'll consider it when his poker money runs out, and while he still has his looks?

R27 perhaps looks at the photos before commenting? He went by at least 5 names during his time in adult work, with 3 or 4 of them being different variations of the name Johnny Hardin/Harden. He’s best known as Hardin and Gene Carrier

Amazing dick, long, extra fat and hard enough which is my favorite when it comes to oversized. You can do a lot more with a semi flaccid huge dick than a rock hard one.

R19 - do we know that for sure or is that just an age he gave? He doesn't look like a twink obviously but you can't take that as a fact. But this site says he was born Jan 30, 1956, so...
Still, he's late 60s to be sure. And when he played poker had a full mane of long hair still.

OP/r22 here. That bizarre and strange scene was the first I saw him in ever (but it had sound at the time) and I fell in love despite how creepy the scene is to me because he had such a beautiful penis. His penis was PRETTY in my eyes.
In the scene when it gets to this shot, I was like “oh wow, who is that?!” lol

Another where he fucks the whore in the ass and it has a lot of good ass shots of him. Not many of the straight porn guys were showing so much hole back then.
Only issue is this scene has music over it.

He threatened to sue this author in 2013. His porn names Gene Carrier (the name he used as a Playgirl model, not for hardcore porn) and Johnny Hardin/Harden are trademarked by him.

Right, r67. I didn’t imply that it was the norm. There are a few of us here though.
I actually don’t like these types of threads because what people find attractive is very subjective. Better suited to a larger crowd, like LPSG.

R68 Thank YOU! One of my pet peeves...idiots who proclaim "X is attractive but Y is most certainly NOT!" because of course, their word is the Law of the Land.
As for gay men watching straight porn...I think it might not be as common as it used to be, but certainly back in the day when there was a lot less pron in general, we looked at straight porn to see different types of men that you wouldn't necessarily see in gay porn.
Now, EVERYONE and every type does porn.

R69, I agree with your comment about straight porn, it was very common in the 00s and the 90s to check out straight porn stars if you were gay. I know I did . It's probably not the case now since gays are far more accepted and there is just so much more gay porn now.

OP I LOVED this guy’s hole shots! It was either Blueboy or Mandate that had a 2 page centrefold of him spreading his cheeks wide open for our visual delight. This would have been in the early 80’s (from the same session as the animal print shots above). Those shots were a revelation for me. The first time I can think of where my sexual tastes were so blatantly catered to in print. Of course his perfect cock & balls was not neglected in the shot either. But my Gawd did I want to fuck him!
Let’s not forget that face either. One of the most beautiful faces in porn history. Just gorgeous! Part of that after-porn reinvention that’s mentioned includes a stint as a mainstream fashion model. I don’t know how he managed to pull it off because the lines were very sharply divided at the time. But I used to have a couple of torn our pages from GQ or Esquire or one of those mags. He was a true Sex God. A crazy one, but a God nonetheless.
