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.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Picture the prince, such as most of them are today: a man ignorant of the law, well-nigh an enemy to his people’s advantage, while intent on his personal convenience, a dedicated voluptuary, a hater of learning, freedom and truth, without a thought for the interests of his country, and measuring everything in terms of his own profit and desires.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“We swim, day by day, on a river of delusions, and are effectually amused with houses and towns in the air, of which the men about us are dupes. But life is a sincerity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
