In an industry dominated by female names, Ron Jeremy continues to be one of the most famous adult movie performers ever born on this planet. Originally, Ronald Hyatt, this male porn star has enjoyed more crossover success and fame than anyone else!

However, he did not always wanted to pursue this type of career, and he lived an ordinary life!

His Family, Education & Life Before Porn

This guy came from a middle-class Jewish family in Queens, New York. Both his parents worked, his dad – Arnold Hyatt – was actually a physicist while his mother was a book editor.

At Cardozo High School, the young Ronald shared classrooms with George Tenet, who would go on to become director of the CIA, and Reginal Vel Johnson, who would grow up to act in shows like “Family Matters” and movies like “Die Hard.”

He went on to Queens College where he earned his bachelor’s degree in education and theater. This led to a short career of a substitute teacher at the local high school. Teaching had served as a means of supporting himself while he tried to make it as an actor.

While pursuing a career on Broadway, Jeremy eventually needed more money!

The woman he was dating at that time submitted sexy photos of him to Playgirl magazine. The rest, as they say, is history!

Soon after beginning in the business, he started using his middle name, becoming Ron Jeremy. Dropping “Hyatt” for “Jeremy” was less his decision than his father’s, who told his son he’d kill him if he used his family’s name again.

Pay attention: He said the decision came after people were calling his grandma looking for him. It wasn’t just a few phone calls either.

So many suitors went crazy for him after his initial spread that his grandmother had to be removed from her apartment for a month until the fervor died down.
