Kostas Gousgounis was born in Larissa Greece on the 21st of March 1931. He is a Greek actor and photographer, known mainly for his films with erotic and pornographic content in which he starred between 1965 and 1984. "Legendary", "king of sex", "cult", "sex idol", "symbol of sex" are some of names that the press has been given him over the years.
One of his first appearances in cinema was his passing from "One Life We Have (Μια ζωή την έχουμε)" (1958), as a coffee maker next to Takis Horn!
Bald and with small Issues in the articulation of his speech, Gousgounis was completely different from any other pornstar of his time, with the biggest asset his surrealist interpretation before and after the act (but also during its duration).
He took limited hypocritical pornography by definition and made it an authentic folk art, as a fanciful figure. Surrealist and with a great sense of humor, he looked like an alien in the porn world, so the screenwriters of the films gave him complete freedom of movement.
Every film was viewed by the world as a great social event. Everyone was passing by the screenings, students and “high society”, as the purpose was not only the erotic excitement but also the laughter that he generously offered with his queues. Actual queues were spotted outside of the cinema, while in the dark room the fanatical public had already knew by heart all the lines of the film. The words “άξιος, άξιος (worthy, worthy)" were vibrating the cinema, and the mystery was usually filled with lit lighters.
And so he immediately became a great protagonist of erotic cinema, and his grace spread into small diamonds, such as "Σεξ 13 Μποφόρ (Sex 13 Beaufort)" (1971), "Ήταν Άξιος (He Was Worthy)" (1982) and "Ηδονοβλεψίας (Voyeurvezie)" (1984), his only hardcore porn from beginning to the end.
Most of his films were softcore police adventures, which were populated with some scenes of pure pornography. "Σεξ 13 Μποφόρ (Sex 13 Beaufort)" sold 85,000 tickets in 1971, in the Stone Age of Greek Cinema!
"One of my best movies I think it was" Sex 13 Beaufort ". These movies had good money, sex was in my blood ... Gradually the world began to get to know me. What I think the audience was winning was my spontaneity, my quotes. It was all very authentic."
When the Junta of the Colonels came in 1974, the cinema continued its downward course, losing out of the new fashion of television. Most of the markers were "inappropriate," but this did not stop the creators, since after censorship they added (cut off - τσόνταραν - τσόντα = porn in greek) the cut erotic scenes and the film gained its original form. The watchful status of the colonels knew everything, but it turned a blind eye, allowing erotic cinema to be born on the sidelines of society.
This is the golden decade for Gousgouni, with "Ανώμαλο (Anomalo)" (1975) and "Στην παγίδα του σεξ και του εγκλήματος (In the trap of sex and crime)" (1975), both sold 35,000 tickets each.
Today, at his 85 years old, Kostas Gousgounis lives permanently in Athens. He wakes up, as he says, very early in the morning and goes for winter swim or racquets in Loutsa. Meets with friends, comes out to eat and never sits quietly! Just as we would expect him to do.
As confessed, he fell in love only once in his life and he got married twice this woman of his heart:
"I only fell in love once in my life, and I married this woman. We even got married twice. My wife was not jealous, but my mother-in-law was putting words to her, so we separated. When it took me back again, the second time, I asked her "Why did you want to remarry me?". "Because is only chaos without you," she replied. I have slept with a lot of women in my life, many of them loved me, but I was just stuck with her. I lost her a while ago and it costed me a lot. "
