Porn Star Interview: DC Chandler


BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Sexy DC Chandler made a big splash as a trophy boy—and a nominee for Best Actor for SuperCharge—at this year’s GAYVN Awards in Los Angeles. By show’s end, the 22-year-old hunk was stripped down to his undies, showing off almost all of his big (6 foot 3, 195 pounds) natural build. Chandler, who is of French/German/ Polish/Scotch-Irish descent, had already caused a commotion with his first three films as an exclusive for Studio 2000. Now, the shy Southern boy resides in Washington, D.C., where he spends his days working out and creating a Web site to keep his growing legion of fans up to date. At night, he dances at local bars. We recently rang up this stunning newcomer for an update of our own.

How did you get your start in the porn industry?
I started as a dancer at bars in Washington, D.C., and people were always saying to me, “Why don’t you do porn?” At first I said no, then I thought, why not? So I went and checked it out. I got an agent, and he got me a project working with [director] John Travis and Studio 2000. That was my first movie, Bedtime Stories.
What was it like shooting your first film?
It was very interesting and exciting. At first I was nervous. I was more worried about the acting than the sex. After doing a few scenes, I still get nervous, but I am getting used to it. John Travis was great. He made me feel comfortable. And the setting was nice. I was in a bedroom with Drew Larson. Not bad. (laughs)
Did you watch a lot of porn?
Not really. Sometimes I would see it in clubs on the monitors. I always thought it was hot, and I was very intrigued.
Did you ever expect to make a career of it?
No, when I sent out my pictures, I didn’t think of it as a career. I was just open-minded and wanted to try it out.
Well, I guess you did well because Studio 2000 signed you to an exclusive contract.
Yes, I signed with them for six scenes. So after Bedtime Stories, I did SuperCharge with [director] Wash West, who was awesome. Then I did The Scout Club and Working Stiff.
And how did you get your name?
DC is from the city where I live. The studio suggested it. Chandler came from [porn star] Rex Chandler, because of my height. I thought it sounded like Run-DMC or something, so I liked it.
Do you have a favorite co-star?
My co-star in SuperCharge, Jason Hawke. I don’t have one type, though. I usually like to fuck younger guys, but not always.
So, you are a top?
Well, I was into being a top, but that isn’t set in stone, so keep your eyes peeled. (laughs)
Did you always know you were so well-endowed?
I never thought that much about it. Guys always wanted to mess with me, and in hindsight, I guess that is why. I just took it for granted. I remember I used to wear shorts with tighty-whities, and I had a big bulge. A teacher in school even cruised me once! I thought, what should I do? Tie it down like a drag queen? (laughs)
And are you gay?
Yeah, I am mostly into guys these days. But I am not in a relationship right now. Not that I wouldn’t want one eventually, but that is just where I am at right now.
What was it like being a trophy boy at this year’s GAYVN Awards?
It was fun. It was my first awards show where I got nominated, and I lost, but it was an honor to get nominated. My number-one favorite moment was when Jeff Stryker mooned the audience. He’s such a big shot.
Is it true that you pulled your dick out for the fans backstage?
Well, stranger things have happened. (laughs)
Do you watch your own movies?
I do. My feelings have changed about that. At first I was nervous to see myself, but now I look at it with more of a critical eye. And I even get hot when I remember what the scene was like.
Any plans for the future?
I am not sure what I want to do. I am kind of playing it by ear. I would love to continue doing more roles where I get to play a character, with interesting sex in interesting places with great chemistry.
How does it feel to know others are watching you and getting off?
It’s hot. I like to contribute to the sexual energy on a big scale. It’s a good part of life.
