Gay porn magnate Michael Lucas has announced he plans to retire in 2020 — and threatens to expose celeb clients from his former escorting days.
“Porn stars come and go, but the best ones stay in our memories [and] on our hard drives for a long time until they fade away,” Lucas’ rep told Page Six in a statement. “Successfully dominating the gay adult-film industry for 25 plus years and starring in over 300 films, Michael is planning to retire the devil between his legs in 2020 but still continue to direct and produce films.”
Lucas founded his New York City-based company, Lucas Entertainment, in 1998.
He has contributed to the Advocate and HuffPost as a columnist, and his rep says he’s writing a tell-all.
“Michael is also in search of a co-author to publish a juicy autobiography that will include a steamy chapter about a few top Hollywood celebs who paid him to have sex with them when he was an escort in the late ’90s,” he said.
The porn star is waiting for its release to dish names.
Update – Michael Lucas contacted Page Six after this article was first published and denied that he ever threatened to release a tell-all book. His PR reps responded that he agreed to run the story before it was published.
