Adult film legend Rocco Siffredi has stunned fans the world over by announcing that he is quitting porn.

Porn’s ‘Italian Stallion’ Rocco Siffredi says he will no longer appear in adult movies out of respect to his wife Rosa Caracciolo, a Hungarian born model and adult performer.

“I know him very well and I love him for who and what he is,” Caracciolo is quoted as saying. “Let’s see what the new version of him will be like.”

Siffredi, 50, who has appeared in over 1,300 porn movies, claimed he made the difficult decision after baring all on the Italian version of the reality TV show Survivor.

The Mirror reports:

The adult film star became emotional after being sent into solitary confinement on the show’s Nude Beach for an entire week as a part of an in-show punishment.

After leaving the show he confided in a friend, telling them: “I never felt so naked as I did then.

“I was all alone and it gave me a lot of time to think about what is important.

“And I realized I don’t want to lose my wife.

Time will tell whether Siffredi is serious, or if this is a publicity stunt for the TV show. Stay tuned…
