All signs point to YES. What else but the dark and seedy underbelly of gay porn and the trappings of too much fame, too soon could have caused the stunning fan favorite to have turned into such an evil monster? What else but an exorbitant lifestyle of a gay porn star who filmed a web clip for DaddyMugs.com could have caused this twink sensation to dismember a body and mail a human foot to Canada’s Conservative Party headquarters? Remember the “good times” with this photo gallery of alleged murderer and former gay porn icon Luka Rocco Magnotta below.
Maybe if we hadn’t made Luka Magnotta, who once appeared in an online photo gallery for BadPuppy.com in 2005, into the mega star he was and then disregarded him once his looks began to fade, things might be different today. If the gay porn studios hadn’t used Luka Magnotta to relentlessly promote their movies and websites following his one scene on StreetBait.com, maybe he wouldn’t have put all those cats into a vacuum bag or fed them to a snake. Who can say? If the gay porn industry, the bloggers, and the fans had given Luka Magnotta the space he needed as gay porn’s most sought after performer, maybe he wouldn’t have felt so overwhelmed by success and put that decomposing human torso into a suitcase. Now, we’ll never know.
Maybe if we just would have treated Luka Magnotta like an actual person with actual feelings, instead of the iconic gay porn adonis that he appeared to be, he wouldn’t be on Interpol’s most wanted list. We led him astray. We were swept away by his prolific gay porn career—which consisted of exactly one photo gallery for BadPuppy and three web clips—and now it’s too late. The lavish parties, the exclusive contracts, the adoring fans, the bloggers…Luka Rocco Magnotta was living the gay porn dream, but it quickly turned into a grisly nightmare.
We should be grateful to the mainstream media for framing this story with the completely accurate description of Luka Magnotta as a “gay porn star.” And we should be extra special grateful to gay mainstream media like Queerty and Advocate for leading the charge with their headlines, i.e., “Gay Porn Star Wanted In Gory Murder, and “Canadian Gay Porn Star Wanted For Murder.” Not only does all of this reflect well on the porn industry where Luka Magnotta was so obviously a major player, it’s also a reminder of what gay people in general are capable of if pushed to their limits. They will cut you! (Oh, Luka Magnotta was gay-for-pay and had a girlfriend, but never mind all that–it’s easier to call him gay. Don’t want to make the headlines too wordy.)
Dismembering a body and mailing pieces of it around Canada isn’t enough to warrant a headline anymore. You need to also be a gay porn star. Scientific research shows that people do not click links unless “gay porn star” is in the title, so thank goodness Luka Rocco Magnotta most certainly was one. Knowing what he’s been accused of today and looking back on his expansive collection of gay porn work (all of which is contained in the four photographs below), it’s almost as if we never really knew who he was at all, did we?
He is NOT a Super Star. You need to re-write your article. ;) It doesn’t sound like you are playing with a full deck yourself. He is not A GAY PORN Adonis. He didn’t lead a exorbitant lifestyle. He flew by the seat of his pants, going place to place with unpaid debts, living in poverty, Hardly glamorous. He was not in demand at all but was rather DESPERATE for attention. A skinny twink that was confused about himself, with a huge EGO to cover up his massive insecurities and confusion about who he was. Desperately trying to be good enough. Ashamed of this past. I actually had to read the article twice to catch that it was sarcastic. THANK GOD, cuz for a second there I thought you were for real. Yes, she is hardly famous or in demand. What she did was so cruel and mean, You try to explain to his mother why her son was so casually stabbed and dismembered. His parents have to cry every day knowing that there son only wanted to find love and better his future by coming to Canada. And instead he was murdered by this low life.
I agree with what you are saying about how this reflects on the Gay Porn industry. After having been in a few films myself, I sure hope the mainstream doesn’t think that all Gay Porn stars are that Looney. We are not all painted with the same brush. We are (hopefully) normal people with emotions, morals, and strength of character.
Amen to that.
I think this boy did everything he did thanks to the haters who were harassing him online. Now he is a criminal, but what do we call his stalkers?
Are you crazy?
Well first off, lets just say there is now one less hung asain lol
Crazy crazy video…
Third of all, I may watch tons of gay porn but I have never seen any of them as “Stars”. Nor have I ever wanted to stalk them, blog about them, have sexual fantasies with cardboard cut outs. Yeh there is money in it, but there isn’t any fame in it…Once you hack someone into pieces and post it on the net, with the song “True Faith” playing in the background. You are now an international Star and fame like you couldn’t believe…Hell he’ll be out in 10 years…and make more porn then you would ever think!
I wondering if this “Find” is related to him…
http://www.timesheraldonline.com/news/ci_20776921/vallejo-police-puzzled-by-mysterious-vertebrae-left-at
I bet in two months he will be the newest Raging Stallion or Next Door exclusive.
I want to see him do a scene with Cody Cummings. And he can bring his ice pick.
Okay, so lets just go with the stereotype that porn production companies scrape the bottom of the barrel when hiring talent. Usually, people get into this line of work as a last resort, and the production doesn’t care to hire someone without a background in crime and drugs. Forget background checks, even STI testing is a pain! :D We get it, Gay porn doesn’t created deviant behaviors, just that deviant people end up in the work because they are total losers. K?
I’m still searching for the reason behind the word ‘STAR” being interjected behind these sex worker’s title..:-( PORN “STAR”
I’m still searching for the reason behind the word GAY being interjected ahead of his title. He was G4P and did straight porn as well.
I watched that video of him butchering the victim… Let’s just say he is one sick bastard.
He obviously wants to be the new Jeffrey Dahmer by having sex with body parts and eating human flesh…
I read this article and the comments. What this guy did is not much different than when one of the Hollywood elite goes off the beaten track. Lots of Hollywood stars get in deep with drugs and have a terrible time getting out of it but studios still chase after them. Everybody falls down in life but it’s very hard to pick yourself back up and put yourself back on track.. So if we learn that one of our favorite stars (porn , Hollywood or whatever) was convicted of drug possession or assault or hit and run or… do we say to ourselves, “Well that does it! I’m not going to see any more movies that they do ANY LONGER! They’re too screwed up! I don’t care if he’s in the biggest blockbuster this Summer..he did DRUGS and was caught for the FIFTH TIME and that’s just wrong! ” Some of us might say that but the vast majority just chalk it up to the Hollywood scene and we go on about our lives.
Also I know that some people will differ whether “porn stars” should be compared to Hollywood stars but the bright lights are much the same between the two. They both deal with social network goofs (“things that they might wish they never said”). They both deal with the intense heat of many fans watching their every move, listening to their every word, watching every picture. They deal with all the gossip that goes on and on and on. No, they’re not Hollywood stars but they share some of the same frustrations that the Hollywood elite do. They might not enjoy that part of the business but it’s there all the same.
SO people are people. People will slip from time to time. Only we can decide whether we can forgive a “star” for their 5th drug possession charge or stealing from that jewelry store or that hit and run. Most of us will just so we can go to that next big blockbuster they make and be entertained..because that’s what is important to us.
but non of them involve voluntarily killing someone, more importantly homicide and not self-defense.
I couldn’t dis-agree with you more Zach this guy was already screw-up before he got into gay-porn and the gay-haters are going to use this tragedy to farther their anti-gay agenda.And your not helping Zach with this insane title that all this is the gay-porn community fault and not his, Luka-Magnotta and the fact he brought all this on him-self.By murdering this asian student from China in the first place with some many peoples jumping on this story and telling all kinds of stories.That he did more str8-porn than he did gay or he was not gay are that he is Bi or bi for pay and even gay for pay as well their are even stories that he had sex with his mentally ill mother when he was a boy making it harder to separate facts from fictions.But I do agree with you on one thing Zach the gay-porn industry is guilty of one thing and that is they do use these guys to make money and then throw away like yesterday news because they know these guys are a dime a dozen just like in str8-porn.These porn producers know these guys want to get into porn so they will use them to make all the money they can off of them while they are hot just go to any porn model profile websites.And see all the guys who are trying to get into porn they will do any thing to get porn jobs because they like sex and want fuck as well as make porn and even get paid to do it.The blame is on Luka and the fault is porn because these porn-producers will take any good-looking guy that walk throu their door and help them sell their porn with-out any back-ground checks,facts or their mental health or even take into a account what kind of up bring are what kind of families they come from or whether are they could be serial-killers,drug-addicts or sex abusers.You see my point Zach and that is because the porn producers don’t care about them just they can make money for them that all.
Is it really fair to call him a “porn superstar” though? I mean…..amateur twink with bad skin and no ass more like it.
*high five*
this
Never heard of this FLAT booty mess..:-)
That’s definitely a Canadian ass.
Alaskan. See Levi Johnson for reference.
I was going to say that this guy looked like he’s probably skinned a few kittens until I further read on that he probably skinned a few kittens. :|
I know his repertoire included drowning, them, suffocating them, feeding them to snakes and using them as masturbation aids. I’m not sure if he skinned any.
I understand that Daddy Muggs gave Ethan Storm a free kitten after he did a scene with him. Hope he didn’t give one to Luka. :-/

And here I thought that murder video was fucked up. Thank you. I wasn’t planning on sleeping at all tonight anyway. <:(
Supposedly he did much more straight porn than gay porn. Yet he’s still a “gay porn star,” not a completely fucking crazy murderer.
On the other hand, they’ve now identified the poor guy he chopped into pieces as a boyfriend. The word “friend” is obviously about as apt as is the word “gay.” For accuracy I think the media should point out that he is “bi for pay” and “bi for completely fucking crazy” as well.
It makes perfect sense that the headlines lead with the gay porn angle. It, quite literally, makes the news “sexy.” What’s it supposed to say: “Police Searching for Skinny Kid in Dismemberment Case”? “Star” or not, it was his widest claim to public notoriety.
And, Zach, how exactly did you first tease the story in your Stall Wall post? I get that this is a porn blog, but you could have used a thousand other clever descriptors.
I’m guessing porn studios don’t do a whole lotta due diligence or background checking when the latest pretty young thing walks through the door. And this guy is far from a pretty young thing.
Such an odd looking man. Supposedly he had plastic surgery to “look more like James Dean”(??)
Due diligence?
Due diligence is for companies that actually give a shit occasionally about public perception. Due diligence is something reality show producers make vague gestures towards so as not to get sued when a contestant freaks the fuck out on live television. Due diligence would have kept Traci Lords and Brent Corrigan stuck in flyover states until they were of age.
Due diligence is anathema to much of the porn industry. It’s taxing and time-consuming, and, apparently, best dealt with ex post facto.
But another part of me is really elated, in a disgusting and macabre way, because this means that there’s going to be a feeding frenzy between true crime shows to exhaust every angle of this case; so there’ll be fresh meat insted of the umpteen-trillionth rehashing of that ex-stripper in Houston who stabbed her husband to death and buried him in the garden while her kid was sleeping upstairs or turning up every single rock that some cheated-on husband threw on top of his wife’s corpse.
NO companies EVER “actually give a shit”
The sarcasm is well-taken.
I am interested in knowing – however – how this man got hired in the first place when his sickening kitten-killing videos were very much public knowledge and his name was already all over the Internet?
Do we think that this was irrelevant to whether he should be hired for porn or that the studios should avoid this is kind of people – because quite frankly someone who does that CLEARLY is a bit of psychopath in the first place?
Look at all the people who get hired after the insane things they say, the public meltdowns, the multiple arrests, etc. Nothing surprises me anymore.
Spencer Fox wrote another blog post claiming his “faggot” outburst was a protest of sorts about gay people using the word “tranny”.
Seems like someone’s trying to twist everything and rewrite history when it’s too late for that and I’m not linking the manipulative attention whore.
And in the end there IS interest for that kind of people. I mean, I did Google that guy after it came out he did gay porn.
I may feel pathetic over it but I did and that’s what studios want, right? Attention, even negative kind.
But the question is should the studio enable that kind of behavior. Without going into murderers, we have the public behavior Zach mentions but also private behavior. There were recent report about an older pornstar that works regularly but in secondary filler kind of roles being arrested for cocaine possession. Should it matter?
I am torn on that. I tend to think as long as the scene is good, it should not necessarily matter – I mean we know for example many great sitcoms featured people who hated each other and yet we enjoy them as long as the behind-the-scenes stay behind the scenes. Why should it be different for porn? I mean, heck, we know that in MANY scenes the performers are not even attracted to each other. As long as they perform, who cares if they are a bit cray-cray or whatever.
I feel that way until I read a story like this and then I feel guilty and a bit angry at the studios that enable that kind of behavior and probably makes those people vindicated in their craziness, paranoia or simple doucheness. I am not sure it is fair but … It was one thing back in the heyday of porn (or Hollywood in general) that studios could continue hiring bad people because their public image was what matters. But in the world where everything comes out … should they make different choices?
Of course, there is always the option of instead of caring about this, I could get a life.
I’m only here for the hilarious trainwrecks. There had been a dearth of them lately but Mr Magnotta takes the cake.
i mean….these are people that fornicate on camera. i dont think they really need much of a moral compass. they dont need to be role models. they just need genitals. and they need to stick said genitals into a butt hole or a mouth. NOTHING else required. (which makes the idea of winning awards for porn a complete JOKE. how does one measure who can put their genitals into someone better than someone else?)
u dont even need to be ‘hot’. so a background check or some kinda judgement placed on potential performers by the studios hiring them is kind of a humorous idea.
im realy not trying to be mean here but this guy was just plain nasty looking. so im more shocked he got hired based on his looks alone as opposed to his pre-psychotic tendencies and youtube kitty killing vids
Well, the studio WAS called Bad Puppy.
not Murderous Puppy. I think bad’s a bit of understatement.
He looks a little stupid, so he probably took it literally.
Now we know all the “gay dead porn stars” were either suffocated by a vacuum cleaner or stabbed to death with an ice pick by Luka Magnotta the fame seeking whore.
Didn’t he date Karla Homolka?
This is getting fascinating, now I really want them to catch him so they can make some documentaries about him.
No. To me, it sounded more like he started that rumour himself then made a huge thing of acting indignant and denying it.
It does not quite work anymore because of this story has invaded the Internet but if you Google his name right after it came out (which I did – I am pathetic I know) you would see he started literally dozens of blogs focused on how great he is and he would leave comments under fake names to say how awesome he is (reminds you of anyone?) and how everybody wants to see him on-screen.
Clearly the guy was a narcissist (surprised he ended up in porn?). So yeah, I’d lean towards he made it up as well.
I’m sorry. I’ll take that back. The linked article says
“On Wednesday, Montreal police said the two had, indeed, dated.”
Oh, for fuck’s sake. I’m taking that back too. I just found this:
“Karla Homolka Link To Luka Rocco Magnotta False, Police Say”
———————
I don’t know the answer now. Just that there’s conflicting information.
After a bit more googling, I believe my first comment was right:
Magnotta and Homolka: Anatomy of a rumour
http://www2.macleans.ca/2012/06/01/magnotta-and-homolka-anatomy-of-a-rumour/
And apparently he also liked to circulate the rumor he had been roomates with Marcus Allen: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/body-parts-victim-was-a-romantic-looking-for-love/article2450023/singlepage/#articlecontent
