In 2004, twin brothers Ta’Leon and Keyontyli Goffney began working in the porn industry, performing in gay “twincest” porn flicks and posing for risqué modeling shoots together. After retiring from porn a year later, they turned to burglary to make ends meet.
They teamed up in a string of elaborate burglaries around the Philadelphia area before getting caught in 2008. Keyontyli cut a deal with police to avoid major prison time. Part of that deal meant ratting out Taleon. As a result, Ta’Leon spent six years behind bars. He was released from prison in April of 2015, but says he holds no ill-will against his brother.
“We are trying to put everything behind us,” Taleon told the New York Daily News this week. “We try to be brothers despite what happened.”
Now, Twiintone Entertainment, a production company based in Philadelphia, hopes to bring their story to the big screen. The company is run by identical twin brothers Troy and Trevor Parham, who both work as officers for the Philadelphia Police Department.
“My brother happened to see Keyon’s story in the paper, and he said this would be great,” Troy Parham said. “We’re trying to secure funding.”
In addition to producing the film, the Parham brothers say they would like to portray Ta’Leon and Keyontyli themselves.
While the idea of a Hollywood adaptation of Ta’Leon and Keyontyli Goffney’s risqué ride has been buzzing for years, it’s yet to hit the big screen. Sadly, we learned about Ta’Leon’s passing in 2021, so we can’t help but mourn this twisted tale that never made its debut. Fuck cancer!

All it needs now is a snappy title! “Double Trouble”? “A Pair of Jackers”? “Blood is Thicker Than Thieves”?
C’mon, Queerty: don’t let me down!

Their parents should have saved everyone the trouble and just named them “negro.” With those names you are not getting called for the interview. Just joking, kinda… I’m black and a recruiter btw : )

Hi, my name is Ta’Leon Goffney. I’m writing you in an attempt to redeem my life, and speak on the articles about me that was on your site and numerous others. I’ve been through the unbelievable and I’m just trying to make it right this time around!! I’ve had much to consider over the years and have grown from my mistakes. My entire story was
Painted in the wrong light. I’m just trying to get the full truth out there and pay it forward by using my story as a warning to others. I’ve even completed a memoir that will encompass all that I’ve been through and the powerful lessons and message behind it all. I would like the opportunity to fully get my message across and let others know that true change is possible.
