"How can I make this right? I'm at least going to pay it all back, and how could I do that making $70 a day as a personal trainer?" With a harsh criminal record, his employment options were limited. "I didn't really feel good about myself: The stealing and everything else," he said. He was working as a personal trainer when a client, porn star Jimmy Durano, landed him his first audition. "The reason I took the job the first time was to pay back all my restitution to the court system," he said, explaining what initially attracted him to porn.
(He now runs the Kill Meth Foundation with his mother, which raises funds to assist drug addicts in need of emergency services.) By 30, he knew he'd need to change his life quickly or he'd soon be dead, but luckily he found a good rehab program, and took the first steps toward where he is today. "Mine were all money-related crimes," he explained-fraud and financial charges. Throughout his 20s, Ducati said he'd been in and out of jail about 20 times.
His backstory goes far in explaining his professional demeanor today by age 14, he'd started using drugs, and by 22, he was living on the streets. There's also the fact that Ducati has been sober for ten years. Hard partying just isn't conductive to a fully realized professional lifestyle, even in this industry. He produced three scenes over the course of the Grabbys weekend alone. Between producing and directing anywhere from ten to 12 scenes per month, appearing in a few of his own, managing his own company, and all of the invisible labor that goes into keeping up a porn star's career-fan outreach, social media posting, coordinating shoots, and travel and side gigs-his life is nothing like Boogie Nights. The first is the fact that he's just too busy to be a party boy. There are two reasons to which I can attribute Ducati's near-puritan (by porn standards) lifestyle. Soon after, Ducati was back in his hotel, sending files from a scene he'd shot earlier that day to his editor in Los Angeles. After rubbing elbows there, we hit a party for gay porn juggernaut Falcon Studios rather than turn up there, we slipped out early for a burger. Things kicked off on Friday night with a party celebrating the tenth anniversary of the birth of the FleshJack, a popular male sex toy.
