In light of yesterday’s interview with 2011 Twink Of The Year Seth Knight, who aspires to one day transcend twinkdom and hang with the big boys, this is a good time to look back at former twinks who’ve transformed either their bodies or their public personas (and in some cases both) from twink sensations to supersized studs. From lanky and smooth to beefy and hairy, here are seven twinks who’ve grown up before our very eyes!
Brent Everett: In 2004, an unknown 18-year-old was just getting started. By 2010, Brent Everett had his own website, dildo, and production company, an exclusive contract with C1R, a hot husband, and award after award naming him Performer of the Year. He still has the boyish face, but Brent’s business sense and body have bulked up big time, making him arguably gay porn’s biggest star.
Tommy Defendi: From an amateur “College Dude” in 2008 to a Raging Stallion Stud Fucker in 2011, Tommy Defendi has gone from “Oh, he’s cute!” to “Oh my god, rape me?” in three short years.
Blu Kennedy: One of Corbin Fisher’s first models in 2004, Blu Kennedy (who was an underdeveloped “AJ” at the time) has since become the most beloved ginger in gay porn, working with every major studio and turning his body into a national treasure.
Chris Porter: Nobody has taken a more active role in shedding their twink label in a shorter amount of time than Chris Porter. The cover boy for movies like Tattooed Twinks made the gym (and the recording studio!) his second home, and in less than two years became a cocky muscle pup who eats bitch ass twinks for breakfast.
Jesse Santana: Like Blu, Jesse also got his start at Corbin Fisher. That was in 2006. In 2011, the new and improved Jesse is still my favorite bottom in gay porn, but now he’s added some light S&M (as a sub, of course) to his bag of tricks. Jesse recently told Tony Buff he was into fisting, sounding, and rope play. Fun!
Spencer Reed: Spencer Reed was a twink? OK, not exactly, but his physical transformation is always worth pointing out. In 2007, he was an unheard of amateur model on Randy Blue. Four years later, he’s XBiz’s Performer of the Year and one of the most lusted after men working in porn.
Brent Corrigan: He’s carefully winding down his career in porn in favor of independent films, but Brent Corrigan is still the most recognizable face in gay adult, and a popular figure in gay culture at large. Above, two of Brent’s appearances at the long running “Cocktails With The Stars” event–in 2006 (left) and 2011 (right).
Gentlemen:
I’m very proud of you. You’ve taken your careers and turned them into something that will last. It says a great deal about your friends, mentors and your maturity.
Congratulations.
How about Brad Star? I know he was never really thin like the average twink would be, but he’s definitely bulked up since he first started out.
Uhhhh, Johnny Torque??? Glaring omission, I must say. And no, Phenix Saint is not too B-List. He shoulda been on here too, Aesenath.
Now the infamous question. How many of those 7 went on cycles to look older and not like a twink?
..Like bicycles?? They actually do really help you get into shape and tone your calves. I would hop upon my cycle every morn at approximately 6am and ride until my soul was rejuvenated. It was a great way to cleanse my body and shed those unsightly love handles. I felt free when I was on my cycle. I was one with the cycle. Me + Cycle = Love.
I’d like for Tommy Defendi to twink his twunk into Brett Everett. Afterward all would be right with the world and Oprah would say Tommy DefffEEEEENNNNDDDDIIII!!!!
You’re all getting. . . A NEW ASSHOLE!
I could only wish and hope…
Such a fun, brilliant post. And let’s face it, Brent should be at the top, but he’s at the bottom for a reason. ;-)
Phenix Saint?
He’s still kind of B-List, isn’t he?
Well, Phenix Saint was skinny-ish….bulked up….and got skinny again, so he doesn’t exactly fit here.
BelAmi’s Brandon Manilow would have been a good choice. Compare how he was at the beginning to now – in his late 20s he’s ready to graduate to Kristen Bjorn country.
Thank you for this article Zach…great to see the transformation over the years. Have you noticed that these guys also have a career longer than most other porn stars?
As for Bel Ami – there are OOOOHHHH so many that would deserve a spot here it would take days to write about them all: Lukas, Johan, Sebastian, Dano, Dario, Luke, Todd and so on…Let’s just say that Bel Ami models start off awesome and graduate to absolutely amazing.
Another name that would deserve a spot here is Pierre Fitch, even though the physical transformation is not that big over the years.
Ahh Tommy, I’d bend over and grab my ankles for him anyday.
Ditto!
It’s like a who’s who of the before and after shots….very nice!
Falcon’s Kevin Williams should be up there although he did porn awhile back. I’m probably not the only one who couldn’t recognize Jesse Santana. Erik Rhodes’ school of weight training/steroids perhaps?
Thanks for the write up Zach! You’re such a sweet heart and love ur site! Thanks again and Cheers,
Brent Everett
I’d say i see the least amount of body change with Brent, i mean, it’s fantastic on the left and fantastic on the right, but it seems lighting and angles are more to blame than bulking up>
I have to disagree with that. Brent Everett’s abs and arms have become more defined, and he has gained muscle mass.
I’d say brent corrigan has the least changed body. only huge difference i notice from that pic is he went from a bieber do to a lesbian one.
I assume you’re talking about Corrigan? He hasn’t bulked up as much as some of the other guys, but that “after” photo isn’t the best example of his new body. He has DEFINITELY transformed himself, if you compare how skinny he was at 18 to what he looks like now, big difference.
