HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Alex Marte, the current cover model for Australian gay lifestyle magazine DNA, could have been a porn star. According to Lucas Kazan Productions owner Lucas Kazan, Marte has the looks, the personality and the special spark required of XXX superstars, and Kazan wanted it.
"He turned up at the open casting calls in Rome this time a year ago," Kazan told GAYVN.com. "Blessed with a gorgeous Mediterranean face, a ripped body and a bubble butt to die for, he passed the test with flying colors and went on to an official audition with producer Ettore Tosi."
At the time, the 28-year-old Italian told Kazan, "I've done everything else: stripping, sex shows, orgies. I'd like to give porn a try now."
A full-time professional trainer and part-time stripper who is openly gay, Marte eventually decided he wasn't quite ready to commit, though.
"We offered him a role in Italians and Other Strangers, but he got cold feet at the last minute," Kazan told GAYVN.com. "Pity."
