Dawson’s Creek star James Van Der Beek has revealed that he was once caught at an airport with a gay porn parody version of his own show.
Van Der Beek, who starred as Dawson Leery in the 90s series, told Vulture that he was caught in an airport with a gay parody version.
He said: “I remember when I was doing Rules of Attraction, and the hair and makeup department got me a copy of the Dawson’s Crack porn movie as a gag gift.
“It was on VHS, that’s how long ago that was, and I thought it was hilarious. I couldn’t wait to bring it back and show everybody in North Carolina and say, ‘We’ve made it! Look at us. They’ve made a porno out of us’.
“This was right after 9/11, and I get flagged by security, and somebody opened up the suitcase, and there’s a gay porno right on top.
“Not just any gay porno, but one based on the show that I was on. Which is kind of excellent.”
He also said of the x-rated film: “If some fan out there is so inspired to make the opposite or make a parody, then it’s their right. That’s a good thing.
“Certainly in these bootleg shorts, and certainly in fan fiction. It allows the fans to be a part of it and reimagine it through their own lens.”
