Los Angeles: Porn star James Deen might be among the first civilians to go into space, and he thinks it is "cool".
The 27-year-old's mother and father both work for NASA and they are hoping their son will be a part of world history someday, reports contactmusic.com.
"I am on a list to go into space. My dad put me on it. He thinks I'll be one of the first civilians to go into space... I don't think it'll happen, because I smoke and I'm not that physically fit, but it's kind of cool," he said.
The actor says his parents have no problems with what he does for a living.
"My parents have always been supportive. They learned quickly that I was going to do whatever I wanted to do.
"When I started making adult films, their main concerns were health and safety. I assured them that working in porn is like working at McDonald's or at a bank... It's a job," Deen told Playboy magazine.
