LOS ANGELES—With his good looks and a well-chiseled body with about 5 percent body fat, Henry Heston cuts quite the figure as he walks in for his AVN interview.
His polite manner and creased black pants and matching button-down shirt, the Los Angeles native is every bit the easy-going guy next door he projects. With his perennial smile and quiet confidence, the industry newcomer has big plans as he makes his way through the world of porn.
“My goals are to be nominated for AVN Awards and get some recognition because the talent speaks for itself and the sky’s the limit,” he said. “You can make a name for yourself and create some great things, so I’m excited.”
Heston is already making his mark, having seen and been encouraged by the fast rise of so many other male newcomers in recent years.
“In my first couple of scenes I did, I learned to be more vocal,” he said. “So in my free time I watch porn with these top male performers and take notes or just look to see what makes them a great performer and I just want to do better.”
Having grown up in the L.A. area, young Henry quickly gravitated to football where he became a standout. It wasn’t long before his speed and skills led him to college where he found his love for fitness as he studied for a possible career as a physical therapist.
Having been encouraged to get into the industry, the ripped stud was ready to give a porn a try as a performer, Heston set aside his plans to pursue fitness and instead dove headfirst into porn. First, he created an OnlyFans page where he quickly found a slew of creators willing to collaborate with him.
It wasn’t long before he began looking for an agent to get him before the industry’s top producers, directors and studios. After signing with OC Modeling, Heston was off and running.
“My first scene was an extra part and I was nervous walking up and I’m not going to lie,” he recalled. “I was an extra so I had just one little line but just being new in the industry and with new people you have this little anxiety, but I was meeting people and I was opening up and just start being myself.”
Shortly after, he had his first bonafide sex role opposite Linzee Ryder in a scene from Naughty America where he played a stepdaughter’s boyfriend who ends up hooking with her stepmom (Ryder).
More roles would follow and Heston would find his groove as he approached his work with the mindset of an athlete, with lots of preparation and by finding a real connection with his co-star to make the scenes work.
“I’m a Pisces and so I get along with everybody. I’m not big on the horoscope, but I know Pisces are very chill so I try to make the situation as comfortable as possible,” he said. “I’m not going to go, ‘Hey what’s going on?’ I just let the chemistry happen organically.”
As for the future, Heston is looking someday to go back to college to get a PhD in physical therapy or kinesiology. But for now, he’s aiming to earn a nomination for the AVN Awards in the near future.
“I’m just going to work hard and do as much as I can to meet these goals," he says.
