With his buff bod, sexy beard, and "Awe, Shucks" persona, it's no wonder that Heath Halo has become one of the industry's biggest names in a very short amount of time. Though he comes from a very, very different background and has started in the industry a little later in life, Heath has jumped into the industry with both feet (and other anatomy) and has even ventured into writing his own material. "Lay of the Land" marks Heath's debut as a screenwriter. Fleshbot has the scoop!

Let's start with a few basics: Name? Age? Hometown? Occupation? Relationship status?
Heath Halo. North Texas. Adult Performer. Married.
What brought you to the world of gay porn?
I started a podcast with Nicky, and the intent was to showcase kinks from our podcast on our OF. Little did we know kinks were a no no but we both started gaining a following on our own.
Could you share with us about your early life in Texas? Was it hard growing up in a conservative state?
Well, when you grow up in a conservative state, I don’t think you are conscious of, hey, this place is conservative, but I did know that, whatever it was that I was, had to be hidden and gotten rid of if possible. So it’s a lonely life inside because few know you fully. But all in all, I had a pretty all-American childhood.
Could you talk to us about coming out somewhat later in life?
I wish I had done it sooner. Wish I had been brave enough. Wish I had given the people I loved a little more credit because they proved me wrong. Every single one I had made into a potential monster if they found out, was not.

You've shared that you are a dad. How do you balance a very public and unconventional professional life with a safe and protected family life?
Appropriateness is the name of the game in our household. My little one is in her early teens, and I have been in this industry for several years; what I do in its full picture isn’t a concept we believe is appropriate to discuss yet. Just like any parent who operates in an adult industry, such as alcohol, cannabis, or the club, my work is very separate from home. So it’s been a slow rollout. As far as my day-to-day, it’s not a part of our lives. My content is made mostly away from home, so there I’m just a goofy, lame dad. As she matures and the situation evolves, we will divulge more as necessary.
Do you think coming to the adult industry somewhat older has any advantages or disadvantages?
Oh, probably tons. I’m too old to drink or party; my responsibilities keep me home more than away, so yeah, it’s definitely been a different perspective that I believe has enabled me to make some good choices.
Do you have any preference on studio work vs OnlyFans content?
No, they are both different animals, and I have fun doing both.
You have recently started writing your own studio movies. How is it coming up with your own scenarios and story lines? What does that add to the experience of performing? Tell us about your latest project.
The few I’ve worked on have just been funny little scenarios that popped into my head that have turned into broader stories after sharing them with a freaky-minded friend.
Do you have ambitions to direct?
I think that would be a blast, maybe it’s coming.
Are there any specific acts or thing(s) you haven't yet done on film (or in life) that you still want to try?
I really wanna get gang banged by a rugby team…like the whole team.
Tell us a little bit about yourself outside of porn. Interests? Hobbies? Beliefs? Passions?
I'm a pretty quiet guy, and we live outside city limits on several acres. Between that, staying in shape, and my family, I stay pretty busy. But if I can get in a hiking or camping trip, I will.
Who is the real Heath?
Heath is a representation of the cool, sexual guy I always wished I was. He’s unafraid and adventurous. He’s out there for all of us shy guys.

Who are some performers whom you want to work with? Why? Any porn star heroes?
They are all my heroes! I’m always grateful for whoever I get to work with next, so whoever that is, he’s my dream guy.
How do you define a true "Porn Star"?
I'm not sure, I'm not sure I am one, so that's why I probably don’t know.
What is your favorite thing about sex?
Connection. Being inside someone’s head, experiencing pleasure together, writing brain pathways together. That’s a powerful human ability.
