Former gay porn star becomes firefighter
A former gay porn actor has begun a new career as a firefighter with the New York Fire Department.
Jonathan Jesensky, 33, starred in at least 10 gay porn films before first joining the NYFD in 2012 as an emergency medical technician.
The paramedic has now started training to become a firefighter.
He is also a former US Marine who served a tour of duty on Iraq.
“He was gay for pay,” one online fan of his work proclaimed.
His employer has shrugged-off the revelations, pointing to the rookie’s “strong” work record.
“The legal department is aware of his work history,” FDNY spokesman Jim Long told the New York Daily News. “His evaluations and his record are very strong. The FDNY added, “We’re proud of our veterans.”
Among the titles of Jesensky’s porn movies is Paramedics. Others include Raw, Ripe and Semper Bi.
Jesensky has so far not commented, although his colleagues seem unfazed.
“Whatever, I don’t care,” said a firefighter when asked about the porn. “I haven’t met him yet, but I don’t care.”
