Podcast: Talking With The Disarmingly Charming Actor/Designer Matthew Camp

Matt Camp (image via Instagram)

In this episode of The Randy Report, I’m chatting with the oh-so-handsome and beguiling Mr. Matthew Camp.

I have to tell you upfront that this is one of my favorite interviews in a while.

An intoxicating blend of good-looking country boy with a side of danger, what I enjoyed most about chatting with him was how smart and thoughtful he is. It’s a disarmingly charming equation.

The social media celebrity – over half a million followers on Instagram alone – first attracted attention some years ago after moving to NYC and becoming a go-go boy. But starring roles in indie movies like Getting Go: The Go Doc Project (which was loosely based on his life) and Sock Job quickly sent Matthew’s star into a new orbit.

At the same time, he was encouraged by friends to design his own line of t-shirt and leather gear fashions. Matthew says he took a couple of classes in construction and pattern making a few years ago for the ABCs of it all, but admits to having an interest in fashion since he was a kid.

Plus, he launched a line of provocatively named fragrances (8.5, Transgression) that are inspired by and conjure up his memories of working in bars around sexy men.

A big proponent of the ‘sex-positive’ movement, he’s also an ambassador for Oraquick, the in-home HIV test. Matthew is big on encouraging people to know their status by getting tested on a regular basis and owning your own sexual health.

Matthew has a new video series project in the works – it delves into a person’s sexual personality by exploring formative sexual experiences from their past. The format will be a hybrid of documentary and experimental art film.

AND – the producers are looking for folks to take part in the project on camera with Matthew.

So I’ll be chatting with him about that, what it’s like to have over half a million people follow your life, plus a few other things that come up.

If you would like to submit yourself to be considered for the new video project, you can contact the producers at CampChaosSeries@gmail.com.

You can (and should) follow Matthew on Instagram at www.instagram.com/matthewcamp/ and find even more on at OnlyFans.com/MatthewCamp.

On today’s episode of The Randy Report,  I’m chatting with actor & singer Jim Newman.

In addition to a lengthy Broadway resume (Hands on a Hardbody, Curtains, Minnelli on Minnelli, Steep Pier, Sunset Boulevard, and The Who’s Tommy), Jim is also currently ‘The Cowboy’ in a very iconic 70s/80s disco band you know very well.

Jim also works extensively in TV and film, including two of my favorite award-winning digital series – Hustling and After Forever, currently on Amazon Video.

For a couple of years now, I’ve also been a fan of Daddyhunt the Serial, which chronicles the story a hunky handsome ‘daddy’ we’d all like to date (played by Jim), and his younger boyfriend, ‘Ben,’ played by BJ Gruber.

Since its debut in 2016, Daddyhunt the Serial has become a big hit all around the world.

I recently got to chat with Jim about Daddyhunt, his iconic disco band and how social media has become such a big part of being a working actor these days – the good and the bad.

And speaking of social media, you should be following the hunky cowboy on Instagram, where he already has over 72,000 followers.
