'I bonked people £80,000 on camera during my lunch break - but my boss found out'

Adult star John Legendary started shooting X-rated videos during his lunch break as an aerospace engineer but claims he was fired after his boss discovered his speed. was

A man has claimed he was fired from his aerospace engineering job because of his racy side gig as an adult star.

The creator of adult content, known as John Legendary, took a high-paying job at a prestigious defense contracting company three years ago, but a year into the role he started making amateur porn films. The kinky star, 39, revealed his X-rated escapades initially started as a hobby that saw him sleep with "hot" wives while their husbands filmed them.

I was into the hot wife lifestyle, I was making the wives while the husbands were filming me, so I was doing that and I was comfortable filming the husbands she told the New York Post. But he soon realized that they could start. Make some money filming sex tapes.

I was taking these wives for free. I was just doing it as my Saturday night hobby, I did it on weekends. What would it be like to watch porn stars and get paid for it? He recalled the thought.

John was already earning $150,000 (£119,000) a year as an aerospace engineer but revealed he had taken pay cuts from his previous jobs so he could work remotely from his LA home. He noted that it was an "expensive" city to live in and thought that remote work would give him the flexibility to make more money with his swag.

I thought I could moonlight as a porn star and make a few extra dollars," she said. John started shooting porn scenes for his OnlyFans account and would film explicit content during his lunch break and on weekends.

But he was removed as an aerospace engineer earlier this month. John was told that he was fired because of "cost-cutting" measures, but he believes he was fired because his female supervisor had sexually assaulted him online. Presence was detected.

He explained: "We got a new senior supervisor a few weeks ago, and she kept pointing, she was like 'You look familiar, have we met before?'" John added: "I I work remotely, so she would only see me on it. Zoom [but] she kept mentioning it."

Over the past two years, John has built a successful career for himself in the porn industry. Last year he won an AVN Award, dubbed the "Oscars of Porn," for Best Foursome/orgy Scene and in January he picked up another AVN Award for Favorite Male Indie Creator.

In 2023, he also appeared in the online reality show For the Love of Lena. The show, hosted by podcaster Adam 22 and his porn star wife Lena The Plug, saw John compete with nine other men for the chance to have Theresa with the couple.

She believes her appearance on the show is what tipped off her boss and co-workers. But John claims he was always honest with his work about having a side gig and even signed a "conflict of interest" document.

You have to notify the company that you are doing another job. I mentioned that I had another job, and I noted that it was in an unrelated industry," he said.

While he's lost his engineering job, it looks like John's new career will still pay the bills as he estimates he's earned around $100,000 (£80,000) from the videos he films in his spare time. are taken He claims it is a dream come true.

"I'm from Detroit, Michigan and I'm like, 'Hmm,' I'd love to be a porn star one day. You'd watch your dad's VHS tapes and be like, 'Man, I want to do that one day,'" But you don't think you can really do it,” John said. He added: "But when you live in LA, you'd be surprised what you can actually do."
