Wrestler Daniel McGraffin defeated Daniel Lerwell to win the world title earlier this month. Known as an exmilitary and porn actor, Dan is still struggling and is heading to the O2 in London on September 3rd to defend his world title.
After being arrested for an army misdemeanor for 8 months, the fighter decided to work as a gay porn actor and was earning more than £1,000 (R$6,400 in current values) a working day by performing “a few hours”. ” from footage in adult videos.
Who is Dan McGraffin?
Brit Daniel McGraffin decided to leave military life and found a good source of income in his career as a gay porn actor. In 2019, the actor declared himself 100% straight in a documentary shown by Channel 5 and spoke about how money has helped him get ahead.
Using the alias Geordie Jackson, he began his film life after ending his sixyear military career. “I had made up my mind [ser militar] when I was a child. I knew it would be in the army,” he said.
However, the grueling routine changed the Englishman’s plans and he spent eight months in prison for a military offence. “It changes you, it changes you. I drove from vans to the big tanks and could hardly sleep. You are the first to get up and the last to work. I fell, lost my mind, we had two weeks off and never again. “We’re back,” he said.
After leaving prison, he worked as a DJ, which led him into the world of adult content production. “When I was DJing, there was one fan of mine, a girl who was a dominatrix. She told me about a guy and said, ‘He’s totally straight, but he does gay porn,'” he explained.
The actor said a small production company got in touch with him, saying “most” of the films were fake and offering the former soldier £750 for a short scene. The DJ at the time agreed and soon wanted to do it again.
“Imagine: if I do one of these a week, it’s £750 a week. Two, three times a week and you’re off the radar for months,” he argued.
Shortly thereafter, he applied to another production company and signed a cheaper threeyear contract. “I haven’t looked into straight porn; there is less competition in gay porn. And there’s no money in straight porn,” he said.
career in battle
Not satisfied with his porn career, the Brit decided to get in touch with BKB (Big Knockout Boxing), the official bare knuckout fighting platform. But for his job, he admitted that he was initially not taken seriously.
“The best thing I ever did in my life was learn not to care what people thought, this was my start of a new life,” he said yesterday in an interview with the podcast Anything Goes. . “They just assumed I couldn’t fight because I did gay porn. It’s just narrowminded people, some of them,” he added.
Despite the criticism, the actor hinted that he’s finally found a comfortable balance between pornography and barehanded fighting, but admits he’s unlikely to return to filming.
“I fell on OnlyFans. This is my income now and I don’t care what anyone has to say about how I make my money. I’m not rich, but I don’t have to work, I can train every day,” he defined.
After getting through a few fights, he had the opportunity to take on world champion title holder Daniel Lerwell. The duo took to the ring on June 11 of that year and Dan defeated his opponent. The next fight is scheduled for September 3rd in London.
