Gay porn superstar François Sagat returns to BUTT Magazine in the Spring 2008 issue, where he strips naked and gets playful with "famous celebrity chaser" Gary Lee Boas, showcasing his increasing appeal as not only a hog-tied piss victim and general XXX-covergirl but also as a visible gay celebrity. Could his foray into avant-garde Britney karaoke be what's pushed him further into the gay consciousness, or is it simply the fact that he's so conspicuously tattooed and memorable? Surely Gary might've had his pick of any celebrity to be his co-star in the pictorial, so François' presence certainly speaks highly of him.
Manager of a porn store in Lancaster, PA, Gary published the cult book Starstruck, displaying his extensive collection of celebrity photographs taken throughout his lifetime, which launched him into mainstream red carpet photography. Also a professional beefcake photographer (his second book was the pricey New York Sex 1979-1985,) with a long-running stint at Mandate, Gary knows a star when he sees one and blurs the lines between pornography and pop culture. "I was this guy the stars would see year after year after year," he told BUTT editor-in-chief Jop van Bennekom, "I was everywhere. I never gave up. Some stars have seen more of me over a year's time than their own family. They come to trust your face. It becomes kind of familiar to them." Citing Elizabeth Taylor as an example, he says "Now it's 'Hello Elizabeth'—'Hi Gary.'"
When discussing his job of equally chronicling the nude bodies of some of the world's hottest hunks, he muses "I absolutely love doing it. I love to meet people and you really meet people when they're naked."
