Jett Black Appears On CBC’s Evening News

Following the news this morning that CockyBoys’ Jett Black was forced out of Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the CBC aired a video interview (and some gorgeous footage of Jett doing ballet) with him on their evening news broadcast. Watch it below.

  1. FYI: Just looked at this guy’s tumbler page where he answers questions, and when asked about dating, he made it clear that he dates girls. So it looks like he’s G4P (big surprise in this business, eh?).

  2. This has more to do with ballet companies fearing that their donors and benefactors will pull their funding than it has to do with patrons cancelling their season subscriptions. He had danced on stages around the world and danced for royalty in his country and is undoubtedly a talented dancer. I feel sympathy for him that his dreams have been apparently dashed, and I hope another ballet company or school looks beyond the controversy and hires him on his ability to perform on stage. On a side note…Fuck that reporter was hot! Cockyboys should hire him..LMFAO

  3. I don’t see how this is a gay discrimination issue. The same thing has happened to people who have appeared in straight porn. Why would there be any kind of “repercussions” from the gay community? He wasn’t terminated for being gay, he was terminated for doing pornography. I’m not saying it was okay at all, but this wasn’t a discrimination issue. I don’t think he had a morals clause in his contract but I think where they got him was in the “outside projects” portion of his contract.

    It’s not fair but he was old enough to know better and in the age of the internet, nothing is private or a secret anymore. I don’t know if some of the replies have so much to do with being prudes, but rather wondering whey he gave up a scholarship and a possibly his future prospects as a dancer to do something that in reality is very temporary and in the big picture minimum monetary gain.

    1. AMEN…Estelle…

      I am not condemning you because you did porn…I am doing so because your other future was much BRIGHTER…

      On a side note: are you telling me that you could not have posted an ad on ANY hook up site and had sex with a multitude of men and kept your job!!

      Poor choices is NOT permission to claim discrimination and/or unfair treatment…

  4. I have always said the following:

    ” I am SO happy that there are pretty people making bad decisions to do porn.”

    There is NOT future in it unlike the heights he could have achieved as a dancer;

    1. travel
    2. spending time with handsome men
    3. a respected art by a diverse community
    4. world wide recognition

    OH WAIT…that sounds like a porn star also…scratch what I said!!!

  5. Jett is a brave young man who has tried to do what was true to his heart. Societal mores have not caught up. The porn he does at Cockyboys is beautiful, and the ballet is caught in a stodgy old-fashioned set of attitudes. As one astute person pointed out to us yesterday – a lot of tickets are bought by the GLBT community. Hopefully this has some repercussions in that world, and opens some eyes. I wish all good things for Jett in this difficult time and as he goes forward..

  6. Perez Hilton is Ron Perlman

    The gay community should be supporting him. Who cares if someone does porn? The stigma against pornstars is something that needs to end.

    1. I cannot agree more, as long as he’s being safe I see nothing wrong wih him doing porn and hope he has a long and successful career in whatever field he chooses

    2. You’ve got to be kidding me. Stigma? Porn stars are put way too high on a pedestal by far too many gay men in the first place. And why should the gay community support him when it’s pretty unlikely he’s even gay in the first place? Very few porn stars are anyway.

  7. Sad but predictable that this would happen – I hope he was braced for this and ready to kiss a life of shattered hips and broken toes goodbye when he did. As for regrets and career choices, Jett’s helping Cocky Boys make the sexiest and most genre-challenging porn out there – they seem well on their way to changing how porn is perceived in the rest of the pop culture media landscape, so I hope Jett can create a fusion career of dancing, modelling, acting, more scorching hot sex scenes and whatever in the hell else he wants to try. Fuck knows I’ll enjoy watching him go for it!

    1. It’s not as though that hasn’t been tried before. Didn’t work out as well as it might have. Jack Wrangler did pretty well because he carved out his own career after he left porn (he’d been doing theater during most of his porn career anyway, and moved into directing — mostly for his wife — from there).

      One of Wrangler’s co-stars was a classically trained flutist named David Mann. In Mann’s second film, he played himself as a small-town musician who moved to New York to make it as a flutist (after literally fucking his music professor out of a job), but never seemed to do more than busking in midtown (you can see all the posters and marquees for the then-running Broadway shows in much of the exterior footage), and ended up becoming a male prostitute to support himself.

      Mann was only around for five films between 1982 and 1985, resurfacing in the late nineties for a low-budget daddy film. I haven’t read much about his music career in the interim, and he wasn’t ever what you’d call a porn superstar, considering that he was from the same era as Jack Wrangler, Casey Donovan, Daniel Holt and most of the original Gage Men.

      Even earlier than that, Jack Deveau made Ballet Down the Highway. Not unlike Jett Black, real trained dancer; within the narrative, boyfriend to a truck driver. Every now and then, porn will actually make use of performers’ non-fucking talents. Surprises the hell out of me whenever I see it.

      Perhaps Chi Chi LaRue can be convinced to remake Ballet Down the Highway for Jett Black; LaRue did an interesting enough job in remaking The Back Row twelve years ago, and really, how often does the opportunity arise to go a bit highbrow with things without looking awkward?

  8. If people stopped being prudes and told it like it is the world would be a better place and honest people like Jeppe Hansen aka Jett Black could get on with their lives!

  9. Why is this only leaking now? I don’t think he should have been let go and his mistake for signing release!!!

    1. The hell does that have to do with the story at hand? And of course it’s not okay for female ballerinas to be put into prostitution, but Russia is such a corrupt country and we have no control over that here, nor do we intend to. Seriously people need to think twice before entering the adult industry because it will almost always affect what happens in your personal life, including your job. There’s been only a lucky few in the porn industry who have been fortunate enough not to be affected by it, and Junior Stellano is one, and I think Jesse Jackman is another.

        1. Preach!

          It’s just that OUR corruption is BETTER than their corruption, by some seriously right-wing stretch of logic.

  10. Oh God…..now My eyes just rolled out of my head! Take the money and run kid. and while you’re in NY audition for everything…..there’s plenty of chorus boys with “interesting” side-work…..Broadway pays better than ballet anyway!

    1. Hell, porn was only Gus Mattox’s SECOND career. Theater was his first love, then porn, then real-estate flipping.

      But yeah. He could audition for season 12 of SYTYCD (assuming that FOX doesn’t fire Nigel Pervert Sourpuss). It would make for interesting B-reel material, if nothing else.

  11. I’m more concerned about the floodings in Toronto than this.

    So how many other porn stars have been in TV news so far? There’s this mess now, Connor Habib, and Colin O’Neal so far that I know of. Anyone else I’m missing?

    1. But Collin O’Neal is on the news because he wants to be!

      He volunteered to be an iReporter, and what with CNN’s journalistic standards…
