Michael Lucas Says He's Retiring From Performing in 2020

NEW YORK — Michael Lucas disclosed in a published report today that he plans on retiring from performing in gay porn in a little more than a year from now.

Lucas will still direct and produce gay adult movies, but as of 2020 he won’t appear in them anymore.

Lucas told Michael Musto of NewNowNext, Logo’s online culture portal, that the reason why he’ll be ending performing is that he is “getting tired of filming having sex and looking all the time for partners who don’t mind being filmed.”

“I love sex, but it is much more fun to do it without the cameras and I want to recover this pleasure before I become an automaton,” he told Musto.

Lucas operates Lucas Entertainment, a multi XBIZ Award-winning company, that shoots lavish, big-budget movies that are oftentimes shot in exotic locales. The Russian-Israeli gay adult icon himself has earned XBIZ Award, as well, including Director of the Year in 2008.

Lucas, 46, founded the New York-based production company, which has numerous lines like Lucas Raunch and Sex in Suits as well as its signature site LucasEntertainment.com, in 1998. He is CEO of the company.

Lucas confided to Musto that he'll be leaving room for a possible performing comeback in future years.

“I will never be able to make a comeback if I will not stop soon. I need to make a comeback,” he said. “And I can’t starve myself any longer. I’ve been starving for 23 years. I want to eat — pastries, sugar, pasta. There is no specific reason. I was doing it for very, very long — longer than anyone. Since ’96, that’s when I did my first scene. You have to stop somewhere, unless you’re Madonna."

Lucas noted to Musto that his values and ambitions have slowly changed through the years.

“What’s most important to me is my family and friends. I don’t have the ambitions that I had,” he said. “Back then, the most important thing was to be famous and succeed and be in the media. And then it changed and I read that for people on [their] deathbeds, the only thing they regret is they didn’t spend enough time with their loved ones. I’m very happy I realized that. That’s what I’m trying to do.”
