It’s not too often that we get a fresh-faced newcomer who is discovered the old-fashioned way, especially in this age of social media and submitting dozens upon dozens of applications online. CockyBoys Exclusive newcomer Max Ryder is camera ready and eager to show off his assets to impress gay porn fans. I’ve often joked that a twink charm school is needed to introduce models to the acumen necessary to succeed in the sometimes short shelf-life aspect of the gay jizz biz, but something tells me Ryder is an apt pupil. It’s like Goldilocks had a twink son and sent him on his way! Thanks to the team at CockyBoys, I now present to you hungry neophyte Max Ryder.
How old are you? Where are you from originally?
Don’t let the fact that I can’t grow facial hair and have an ass as smooth as a baby fool you. Haha. I’m 19. My family is from Vancouver, but I moved to NYC from a small town in Connecticut.
Had you ever watched much gay porn before?
Haha. Sadly, not as much as I wanted to. My family shared a computer, so the fear of them checking the computer history scared the s#@$ out of me. I let my imagination do all the work:-)
When did you decide jumping into the porn industry was the right decision for you?
Jumping? You mean dived, ran and flew into the industry. Hehe. It all happened way too quick to even second-guess anything! But the thing is, I LOVE attention and once I got that first taste of it, I was won over.
How did you come to be noticed by CockyBoys?
So it all happened at the local candy store. I love candy! I was just minding my business trying to fulfill my daily sweet tooth and daddy CockyBoys approached me, bribed me with a pack of Sour Patch Kids and here I am today! I’m just kidding. I actually was introduced to Jake Jaxson, the owner, in the lobby of the W Hotel and within the first five minutes of talking to me, he signed me as an exclusive. Two days later I was shooting my first solo and I LOVED it!
Is your family aware of your decision to perform in gay porn?
Well, I’ve never been particularly close to my parents. I was brought up with an alcoholic mother and a work driven father, so I’ve basically always been on my own. My closest friends know and support me and they are basically my family here in the city!
What do you think are your best physical attributes?
LOL. I love this question! This is where I get to show how cocky I am:-) But I’m actually not sure. Hmm, definitely my hair. It takes me about a half hour everyday to make it perfect! I love my butt, so all those years of soccer paid off:-).
Would you consider yourself pretty vanilla or is there a kinky side to you?
HA! Like I said, don’t let this face fool you! I’m an angel by day, but behind closed doors… Eh, I guess you’re going to have to watch some of my future scenes to find out:-)
Were you nervous the first time on the set or did it all just seem quite natural?
I’m not going to lie, it wasn’t that I was NERVOUS, but more so INTIMIDATED. CockyBoys has some of the best models in the industry. How could I compare?
What are some of your interests besides modeling in gay porn?
Well, to be honest, I didn’t particularly move to the city to be a CockyBoy, it was just an added bonus. I’m actually an assistant stylist. I love clothes. I love fashion. I like making people look good. Besides that, I like to do bikram yoga, enjoy the nightlife of the city and of course, sleeping!
Do you have a celebrity crush?
I have two! I actually came out to my parent’s by confessing that I had dirty fantasies about John Mayer. He seems like such a tool and a heartbreaker, but I love a challenge:-) Then there’s, of course, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine. Excuse me while I adjust my boner.
Can you share what it’s like to work with the CockyBoys team?
Let’s just say I would never want to work with any other company in this industry. From day one CockyBoys has taken care of me. It’s like a big family. We all have each others’ backs.
Will the fans get to see you taking on some of the big gun CockyBoys exclusives?
WAIT! You haven’t heard who my first scene was with? Haha. Boy oh boy are you in for a surprise!
What are some of your sexual fantasies of which you’d like to make a reality?
Throw me in a locker room filled with straight horned up foreign soccer or rugby players and I can die happy. I have a thing for foreign guys!
If you only had one day left on this planet how would you spend your time?
Umm, definitely with the people I love most. My little sisters, family and friends singing karaoke or something like that:-)
What is the worst pick-up line a guy has tried to use on you?
“I have Skittles in my mouth. Want to taste the rainbow?” Haha. The sad thing is it worked. I’m a sucker for some Skittles.
Are you a natural blond? Would you ever consider trying a different hair color?
I am a natural BLOND! Believe it or not, as a kid, my hair used to be like white. Let’s just say in high school I got the whole dying my hair out of my system. I went dark brown once and even bleached it.
Finally, where would you like to be in your life 10 years from now?
Successful! Whether in porn or fashion, all I’d like to be is self-made and successful.
Thanks Max! I really learned a lot about you and I bet the CockyBoys fans did too!
