Personal Life
He has been married three times and is the father of two children. He is divorced from the Russian/Latvian porn star Tania Russof in 2000 and since 2002, Woodman has lived with the photo model Sophie Paris. He is the father of French writer Alexandra Geyser.
"Woodman" is a pseudonym, which comes from his childhood when he lived in the country and being very good at climbing up trees, his classmates at school called him "the man of the woods," which later became shortened to "Woodman". When he started in the entertainment world, he started signing as Pierre "Woodman." In the United States, his name has a double meaning, with strong sexual overtones: "wood" is understood as "erection" in expressions such as "morning wood". This double entendre was first explained to him by his friend Jenna Jameson, when they first met in Las Vegas in 1995.
