In a move that feels ripped straight from a sci-fi script, the legendary and famously private Chris Ward has just given his first interview in years—but not in the way anyone expected. The iconic founder of Raging Stallion Studios is the debut guest on HungerFF’s new podcast, “Legends of Fisting,” appearing as a photo-realistic, AI-voiced avatar.
That’s right. The man who defined an entire era of gay porn, now retired and living away from the public eye, has stepped back into the spotlight through the magic of modern technology. And the result is a fascinating look at both the past and future of content creation.
A High-Tech, Full-Circle Moment
For host HungerFF, this episode was more than just a major scoop; it was personal. Ward was the one who launched his career, and bringing him back to the mic—even virtually—was a powerful experience.
“This isn’t just an interview — it’s a full-circle moment,” HungerFF explained. “Chris gave me my first porn contract at 18 and helped define my career. With his blessing, I was able to use new tools to recreate the energy of sitting across from him again.”
So, how did it work? According to a representative, Ward participated via a written interview. He then gave HungerFF permission to use AI voice technology to narrate his answers, paired with an animated likeness based on a vintage photograph that Ward himself selected. The goal was to create something special:
“The result is an immersive, visually rich episode that feels like an authentic, face-to-face conversation.”
Why an AI Interview Is a Game-Changer
For those who don’t know, Chris Ward is a titan of the industry. After founding Raging Stallion Studios, his raw, masculine vision shaped gay porn for decades. Since his retirement, he has remained intensely private, making any new comment or appearance a rarity. His willingness to participate in this project, especially in such an innovative format, speaks volumes.
This AI-assisted interview taps into a growing trend in media where technology is creating new ways for creators to tell their stories. For figures like Ward who value their privacy, it offers a bridge to connect with fans without the pressures of a traditional media appearance. It’s a way to control the narrative, literally, by providing the words and letting tech handle the rest.
Fan reactions on social media have been buzzing with excitement since the episode dropped on Spotify, with many praising the unique concept and the chance to “hear” from a legend again.
The Legend Speaks
The episode promises a deep dive into Ward’s career, his thoughts on the industry, and his life since stepping away. By embracing a futuristic method, HungerFF has managed to preserve a vital piece of industry history while making it accessible to a new generation.
It’s a powerful reminder that even when legends step out of the limelight, their stories can find new, groundbreaking ways to be told. As HungerFF put it, this project was about using new tools to recreate an old energy—a sentiment that perfectly captures this unique blend of nostalgia and innovation.
The episode is now streaming on Spotify. You can follow the host at HungerFF on X.com.
