This Guy Keeps Asking People on Twitter to Make Him an International Porn Star

This article originally appeared on VICE UK.

Yesterday morning, VICE UK received a tweet from someone called Nkasse Giresse that read: "Good day madam please i need your help, i wish to become a porn star and I want you to help me."

A quick glance at his profile revealed he'd sent the exact same tweet to about 100 other accounts, including those of a copywriter from Nova Scotia, the founder of a company that specializes in "unforgettable marriage proposals" and @Canada.

Who was this very optimistic man? Was he even a man at all? Was he, perhaps, a spam bot created to confuse Canadian social media managers? Or a real, tangible one-man troll, studiously copying and pasting the same tweet to a list of completely arbitrary accounts in the hope that one of them might offer him a porn contract so he could post the whole exchange on Reddit? Or was he the real deal?

I got in touch with him over Facebook to find out, and the first thing he did was send me a copy of his passport.

VICE: Hello. Who are you?
Nkasse Alain Giresse: My name is Nkasse Alain Giresse, a black Cameroonian.

And this is you tweeting loads of accounts saying you want to be a porn star? How can I tell you're not trolling?
How can I be lying to you when you've seen my passport? I want to prove I am a very serious somebody.

OK. Why do you want to be a porn star so badly?
Because I love the idea of the job and the fun I'd have in it. It's not about the money.

What could you bring to the world of porn?
Growth and great success for whoever employs me due to the quality of the video I will perform in and my knowledge of computer networking.

Are you in it for the acting or just for the sex?
For the acting, and for everything in it.

If it's about the acting, why not have a crack at being a normal actor rather than a porn star?
A regular porn actor is what I want to do because I love the job. I love porn more.

When did you first realize you wanted to be in the porn industry?
When I was 16 years old.

What sort of porn would you like to be in?
An amateur in nude and others.

What does that mean?
An active, famous, and straight porn actor.

Fair enough. Where exactly do you live and what's the porn scene like over there?
The southwest region of Cameroon. I have not been able to find a serious porn industry here.

Why's that?
It's illegal in Cameroon and I have been duped twice while trying to join, so I believe there is none.

How have you been duped?
Somebody took my money in the name of a registration fee and I never saw him again. Here in Cameroon, people lie a lot.

Why are you using Twitter as a platform to achieve your dreams?
Because I want to use media to achieve my goal of becoming a porn star.

What about making some homemade porn as a kind of audition tape?
It's not easy to find those as interested or as serious as I am. And because I'm not rich I can't pay huge sums to impress the few interested people.

What do your friends think about your dreams?
I don't care what they think.

What about your parents?
I'm an orphan and have nobody to care for me or think anything about me. And I don't care for the world.

Where do you see yourself in ten years?
As a great and famous porn star.

How would you spend the money you earn as a porn star?
To care for orphans like me so they don't suffer. Can you help me please?

What sort of help?
To achieve my goal of becoming a porn star.

I'm hoping this interview might help you reach a larger audience.
Are you married?

No.
Can you be my intimate friend?

No. Thanks, Nkasse—good luck in your quest.
