Biography

Payet began his career in the 1970s, and, for a decade, he served as an assistant director on shoots for Philippe Labro and Claude Vidal. In 1973 and 1974, he oversaw the staging of pornographic comedies produced by Lucien Hustaix, such as Gambling Dens or The Pleasures, before launching himself into the profession with the pseudonym of "John Love".
Not shying from extreme or deviant sexual practices and amateur actors, Alain Payet cast a 287-pound actress, nicknamed Groseille, in the movie Sexplosion makes black, and he cast the dwarf Desire Bastareaud as the lead actor in films like Les Gourmandes du sexe and Les Aventures érotiques de Lili pute . In 1985, he launched the fashion of "Hard-Crad" with the film La Doctoresse a de gros seins, which remains one of the best selling erotic video of the 1980s in France.
In the course of his career, Payet cast in his films many notable French porn actresses, such as Élodie Cherie, Karen Lancaume, Laure Sainclair, Katsuni, Ovidie or Tabatha Cash.
In the mainstream film industry, he directed several low-budget exploitation films and B-movies, such as L'Émir préfère les blondes, with Paul Préboist or, for Eurociné production company, Train spécial pour Hitler and Helga, la louve de Stilberg. His favorite maxim was: "Those who do not masturbate to porn movies are sick".
