John Gilbert Bowen (born February 11, 1947) is a British-born and American pornographic movie director who uses the name John T. Bone.
A member of the AVN Hall of Fame, he has worked for numerous studios and, as Harry Horndog, has also acted in some porn movies. He is best known for directing two large gang bang movies: World's Biggest Gang Bang in 1995 starring Annabel Chong, and World's Biggest Gang Bang II in 1996 starring Jasmin St. Claire. He was interviewed in the documentary Sex: The Annabel Chong Story where it is claimed that he still owes Annabel Chong $10,000 for her performance.
In 1997, Bowen founded the porn company Cream Entertainment together with two partners; he has since taken sole ownership of the company. Several people have claimed that they are owed money by Bowen.[1]
In May 1998, photos of talk show host Jerry Springer having sex with Cream contract girl Kendra Jade in Chicago's Executive Plaza Hotel appeared in the tabloids News of the World and The Globe. Kendra's stepmother Kelly Jade was also present in the hotel room, and Kendra, Kelly and Bowen appeared on Springer's show the next day, discussing a 350 person gang bang.[2][3] Kelly later alleged that the romp had been set up by Bowen who would receive several hundred thousand dollars from Springer to suppress a video tape shot with a hidden camera. Bowen denied the payoff and said that he had signed an agreement with Springer's lawyers not to discuss the matter.[1][4]
Several people have alleged that Bowen commonly has sex with the porn stars working for him.[4]
In 2004 Bowen opened a porn studio in Sao Paulo, Brazil and started to shoot several movies there.[5] He made porn movies with Brazilian soap opera star Alexandre Frota.[6] He has been married 5 times with his third wife being porn actress Misty Regan. He currently has a Brazilian wife.
In February 2007 he went to Pattaya, Thailand and rented an apartment together with two associates to shoot porn movies. This being illegal in Thailand, he was arrested on April 6.[7] The case was dismissed in June.
According to adult industry trade news service, xbiz.com Bowen returned to Thailand in 2008 and restarted his adult filming process there. Bowen was caught in the act, as in 2007, of creating adult films and arrested again for violating Thailand's stated no adult film creation and distribution laws. Bowen currently faces up to three years in jail in Thailand.[8]
