NEW YORK—Lucas Entertainment has signed gay Israeli performer Matan Shalev to a five-year exclusive contract. Shalev features prominently in the studio’s upcoming release Men of Israel, scheduled to hit the streets Wednesday.
“I am very excited to have such a gorgeous guy that has never been in porn,” Lucas Entertainment President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Lucas said. “He is my real discovery. Matan has a very strong sexual appetite, and he’s completely versatile. Everything—his sculpted body, beautiful face, big dick and bubble butt—are all five stars.”
Shalev was born in the Israeli agricultural sub-community of kibbutz Lotan, located in the Negev Desert north of Eilat. His father is a farmer and butcher; his mother a dairy maid. His only sibling, a younger sister, is a bakery chef.
Shalev comes by his physique naturally: At the age of 15, he began working on the family farm. He also flexed his muscles as a track engineer. In addition, he holds a brown belt in karate.
At 18, Shalev began obligatory service in the Israeli military. Following one year of training with a special military police unit, he served a year with the riot police division at a prison housing terrorists. Shalev’s duties included controlling inmates when they rebelled. Following that assignment, he became a military exercise trainer for special units.
“His physique is incredible, and he carries such passion for his scenes,” Men of Israel videographer and co-director mr. Pam said. “You can tell Matan truly loves what he is doing, and his enthusiasm and lust make it that much more sexy.”
Shortly after his recent arrival in the U.S., Shalev joined the cast of two additional Lucas movies: Feet Extreme and Revenge, which is in production now.
“I had an amazing experience filming Men of Israel,” he said. “I am so happy to be here now continuing to work with Lucas Entertainment. They have really become a family to me. And New York? Wow. I can’t get enough.”
More about Shalev is available at Men of Israel’s promotional website MenOfIsraelXXX.com and at LucasEntertainment.com. The film, featuring five hardcore scenes, will make its DVD debut as a two-disc Special Edition. In addition to Shalev, the title stars Jonathan Agassi, Avi Dar, Naor Tal, Ninrod Gonen, Morr-Foxx and Guy Ronen.
DVD extras include limited-edition packaging, behind-the-scenes featurettes, cast interviews and trailers.
