For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL– Legendary adult performer Tommy Gunn recently sat down with Sherman from EmmReport for an in-depth interview about the new documentary Fans Only: The Human Side of Porn. The hour-and-seventeen-minute conversation, now available on the EmmReport YouTube channel, dives into the making of the documentary, its vision, and the inspiring, human-centered approach that sets it apart.
During the interview, Tommy Gunn explored the origins of the film, recounting his initial meeting in 2024 with accomplished director Joel Van der Molen at the AVN Convention in Las Vegas. Impressed by Tommy’s authenticity and the vibrant dynamics of the adult industry, Van der Molen embarked on a multi-location exploration of the industry, working with Gunn and other industry insiders to craft a documentary that reveals a deeper, more compassionate perspective of the business.
The aim of Fans Only was not to sugarcoat the realities of the adult entertainment industry but to paint an authentic and nuanced picture that highlights the human side of its performers. Through candid interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, the documentary sheds light on the challenges performers face, such as societal stigma, relationships with loved ones, and struggles with mental health and substance abuse. Yet, the film also celebrates the industry’s sense of community and the passion of those involved.
“Understanding, honesty, and sincerity are the key messages here,” said Gunn. “This project is a chance to show performers as people who love their work and value their relationships with family, friends, and fans. It’s about showing their humanity.”
Director Joel Van der Molen, known for his award-winning works such as Gypsy Billionaire, leveraged his expertise to tackle the complex narratives surrounding the industry. Garnering praise for his ability to inspire openness in his subjects, Van der Molen expertly balanced the documentary’s tone to ensure it remains authentic. Fans Only has quickly gained recognition, reaching #11 and hovering in the TOP 20 on Amazon Prime. There are plans to expand availability of the film to platforms such as Apple TV and YouTube TV by late summer/early fall of 2025.
Sherman from EmmReport shared his thoughts on the film, saying, “I enjoyed having Tommy on the show and felt the documentary was very well made, especially the monologues where Tommy reflects on the business. Tommy’s candid approach and Joel’s expert storytelling make for an impactful watch, and I look forward to future episodes.”
With the success of episode one of Fans Only, Gunn and Van der Molen have already begun filming a follow-up, with multiple films planned, promising to further explore the industry and the lives of those within it. The initial episode features footage from industry events such as AVN, and XRCO, as well as intimate interviews filmed on sets, in homes, and among industry insiders.
Reflecting on the documentary and his career, Gunn discussed the evolution of the industry. While acknowledging the challenges posed by shifts in the business—driven by the internet, Tube Sites, and the rise of content creators—Gunn’s passion for his craft and the people around him remains steadfast. “I’ve always felt like an ambassador for the industry, and working with Joel has been wonderful,” Gunn shared. “Through this film, we hope to leave something of value, not just for performers, but for everyone who watches.”

About Tommy Gunn
Tommy Gunn is one of the most prolific and versatile male performers of his generation. Gunn has over 3400 credits to his name at the Internet Adult Film Database (IAFD), is an multi award-winning veteran with over 20 years in the industry, and a proud inductee of the XRCO, Urban X, and AVN Halls of Fame.
Known for his rugged good looks and chiseled frame, Gunn enjoys acting, in adult as well as mainstream productions. Tommy had a cameo on HBO’s Entourage in 2010, appeared in Louis Theroux’s Twilight of the Porn Stars in 2012, landed a part in the mainstream horror film Wolves in 2014, was on a 2014 episode of Pawn Stars, when he sold his zombie apocalypse vehicle, and appeared in the mainstream film Gangster Land in 2017. A true professional, Tommy Gunn holds a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) card and welcomes opportunities to explore dialogue and performance-driven roles in both adult and mainstream projects.
Tommy’s philosophy for work and life is refreshingly simple: “Show up, be cordial, and treat your co-stars with kindness. Building a good rapport with the people you work with is key—everyone wants to collaborate with someone likable, not an egotistical person who thinks they’re above others. That’s just not a good look.”
Looking ahead to 2025, Gunn is set to release two major projects: Fans Only, a documentary with Joel Van der Molen chronicling aspects of Tommy’s career in the adult industry, and a memoir titled Tommy Gunn: Unloaded. Through these projects, Tommy’s goal is to share his story authentically, without holding back.
When he’s not working, Tommy spends his time enjoying the great outdoors, staying active with workouts, traveling, watching movies, and striving to be the best version of himself. In a world where perception holds power and opportunities are limitless, Tommy believes that staying authentic and grounded is the ultimate approach to both life and success.
