Headington, UK (dpo) - Rocco Beaumon (27 years old), also known as, is a real pro. The porn star, director and producer of adult films spent an entire year working as a plumber for a medium-sized company in the Oxford suburb of Headington – all to prepare for his role in the short filmwhich lasts just 24 minutes! The self-professed perfectionist was on a mission to learn how to properly see to a U bend and plunge a dirty, blocked-up plughole.“After the huge success of, I wanted to do it even better”, explains Beaumon, a big fan of method acting. “After a year of hard work, I must admit that my industry has been painting a completely inaccurate picture of this profession. For a start, ‘plumber’ is not even the correct term – the job’s actual title is ‘sanitation, heating and air-conditioning engineer’.”Experience has also taught Beaumon that most of his customers are not, in fact young, attractive housewives. Whether the ladies in question had any cash at home proved to be of absolutely no concern, either – not only did the 27 year-old have to write out bills to be paid later, he would also have got into big trouble with his boss if he had accepted ‘payment in kind’.Beaumon also had to learn the hard way that the words, “Do you not find it awfully hot in here?” were actually not an encouragement to perform a hot striptease followed by a sex marathon, but merely meant he should look over the heating system. A further revelation for Beaumon was that during his whole time as an engineer, he was only greeted in a negligee once – unfortunately, by a stocky, hairy man in his forties.“All things considered, I am glad I never had sex with a customer during these twelve months”, Beaumon sums it up. “Because of the hard work, I would not have wanted any even tougher exercise anyway.”The result of Beaumon’s thorough research is quite impressive: it has turned into a three-part documentary.will be broadcast on Thursdays at 8.15 p.m. on BBC Four (age rating: U).Read the German version HERE
