Joshua Broome

Joshua Luke Broome, formerly known as Rocco Reed, is an American pastor and former porn star.

Early life
Broome and his younger brother were raised by their mother, who was divorced from their father. When he was 15, he pursued modelling, and moved to Los Angeles as an adult in an attempt to become an actor. He was offered a job as an adult film star, and began doing shoots.

Pornography
Broome entered the pornography industry in 2006. In 2011, he began directing pornography for Penthouse Video.

Broome starred in more than 1,000 adult movies over 6 years before his retirement in 2013. He had done both gay and straight pornography, having been signed to Men.com for a 6-month period. He was nominated three times, including in 2011, for Best Male Performer for the AVN Awards, as well as 2012's Best Supporting Actor. He claims that he had earned over $1.1 million during his career.

Post-pornography
Becoming depressed from his lifestyle, Broome considered suicide, and had planned to commit suicide. Before going through with his plan, he drove to the bank and deposited a check, where he broke down in tears and called his mother. He moved to South Carolina where his mother lived, where he became a fitness trainer, and met his wife. He is currently a Christian minister and anti-pornography advocate. He hosts a Christian podcast, Counterfeit Culture.

Personal life
Prior to leaving the adult film industry, he was engaged to fellow porn star Asa Akira.

He met his wife, Hope, in 2015, and they married in 2016. They currently have three sons.
