The April issue of Details (with Alex Rodriguez on the cover and that bizarre ode-to-narcissism photo shoot in which he is making out with himself on the inside) features a revealing piece about porn star brothers Keyon and Taleon Goffney. In a story titled “The Curious Case of the Gay-Porn-Star Identical Twins,” writer Richard Rys takes an in-depth look at the siblings who were arrested last year. “Gorgeous twins partnering up for Mission: Impossible–style heists may sound like the premise of a Hollywood action thriller,” Rys writes, “but the Goffney brothers’ tale is more the stuff of David Lynch.” He goes on to recount how Keyon was about to get his big break as a legit model when he was arrested, along with his brother Taleon, for an alleged rooftop burglary in Philadelphia.
Originally from the mean streets of Camden, New Jersey, the brothers had previously worked in the porn industry before the supposed string of break-ins in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. Keyon got his start doing hard-core scenes for Flava Works in Chicago and eventually brought his brother (who identifies as straight) into the fold to work for a specialty Web site that caters to “Pure Black Male Beauty.” Together, they shot five scenes, including a threeway with Marc Williams in Las Vegas, which Rys reports was “just short of incest.” Keeping it all in the family, when Keyon was arrested for the Philly job, he also implicated the twins’ mother, Towana, saying she was in on the scheme (police reports indicate that she was seen leaving the crime scene).
The piece ends with Taleon (who declined to be interviewed by Details) in prison, having already been sentenced for up to eight years. Keyon is due to be tried this spring on burglary and other charges related to the break-in. Rys does a great job of weaving the brothers’ twisted tale, adding layers to a story that gets more and more complicated. He even envisions a future for Keyon, who admits to having cosmetic dental work and pec implants, in Los Angeles as a fluffy reality-TV star. But in the end, it is the brothers’ unique bond that makes this story so compelling: “The queer brother introduces the straight brother to gay pornography; the crooked twin shows his law-abiding brother a life of crime; yin follows yang.”
Hey, wasn’t that the premise of Brothers Should Do It?
