Dino Bravo: The International Side of the Adult Industry

Some of the most popular performers in today's gay porn have emerged from the United Kingdom. No surprise there. The UK is full of absolutely beautiful and crazy sexy men. Our Undiscovered Dick series has brought attention to many up and cumming (haha) talents. Let's have a look at one of the hottest new faces (and more) from across the pond. South African-born Dino Bravo has been on the Only Fans platform for a few months now but with his recent studio debut in NakedSword's "Global Entry: Scotland" this curly blonde haired, muscular, horny sex pot is well on his way to becoming a big presence on the international stage of Gay Porn.

In his first Fleshbot interview, he shares how he started in the business, how he overcame stigma in his native South Africa for being a gay man, and how much he hopes to become a great success in the industry.

Let's start with a few basics: Age? Hometown? Occupation? Relationship?

Dino Bravo: 37, Currently live in London and originally from South Africa, I'm a qualified Landscape architect, while also escorting and becoming a porn actor/content creator

How was your first studio production?

I worked with Falcon/Nakedsword to do two scenes with Jonas Jackson & Danny Wyatt, respectively in Global Entry: Scotland. I am also an ongoing content creator on OnlyFans & Just for Fans.

What first inspired you to have sex on film?

For me, recreating passion and intense sex scenes is an art form. I am naturally passionate and get turned on by pleasing the other guy. After filming a scene I love to watch it back and see how the other guy gets off and the idea that viewers are enjoying it too makes me hard. I’ve wanted to do it for years and last year I finally was approached by Choice Talent Management and found my way in.

What have been some of the surprises and challenges so far?

The biggest surprise and challenge for me was the directing and how porn gets filmed. It's easy to have sex, but the key is making it look good to the viewer so some of the positions are awkward so the camera can get up close. Imagine having sex for five hours and having the professional tell you to move your leg or reposition your bottom! Haha

Do you have any porn heroes (past and current)? Who would you like to work with?

Starting with the current, Craig Marks from Liverpool. I've fantasized about this boy and recently got to film with him. The pressure was on and for me to have stage fright is unknown, but in the end, it was super hot. From the past, just because he seems to be a one-hit wonder, JR Matthews. In Titan's movie Battle Creek Breakdown, there is a scene with Tony Buff & JR Matthews. At a nudist camp, a visitor (JR Matthews) has fun with one of the workers (Tony Buff). If I can ever film with that guy, dream come true!

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 have definitely done it all, would still like to film an orgy/gangbang and show my anal orgasms.

Tell us a little bit about yourself outside of porn. Interests? Hobbies? Beliefs?

I’m an immigrant to the United Kingdom from South Africa. London is home. I'm a family guy and a people pleaser. I'm a qualified Landscape architect, but really a jack of all trades. Festivals are my hobby, so I love traveling to different countries to go to them. I believe in energy and we have so much to give and share. The world will be a better place if we just give more.

What brought you to London all the way from South Africa?

Unfortunately, as a young gay male in South Africa, your options are limited. I don't come from a wealthy family, so my family couldn't afford a higher education and I didn't qualify (like some do) for a free education. At 23, I remember trying to have a career change and the response I got was “Unfortunately we cant consider your application.” The last push I needed was when my father's company gave him a promotion and said “You have the job, you will do the work, but we can't offer you the title or the salary to go with it.” So I needed to make a drastic move for a better future.

You have shared that being a gay man in South Africa was very challenging. Can you share your experience of coming out and realizing your true sexuality in that environment?

In December 2013 I came to London for a holiday to see if I liked the city. The month was eye-opening. I remember getting on the tube and seeing two men holding hands and kissing in public, individuals in public with different tastes in clothing dressed in goth clothes integrated into society. In March 2014 I moved to London. Meeting other gay men is easier and sex is on tap. It's not a behind-doors conversation anymore.

Where did your bravery come from?

It wasn't easy sailing and moving to the UK. It was tough. I missed my family and friends and had to work three jobs to live on the breadline in London. But today, I'm comfortable because I've worked so hard, I can now afford to travel and a lead better lifestyle than I ever could in South Africa. My friends and family back home are rooting for me for a better future and I have a strong willpower to live my best life.

Who is the real Dino?

The boy next door, down to earth, and personable. I have no type. It's all about connection. Life is a journey. I live in the moment.

What are some of your plans moving forward in the industry and beyond?

Sharing what I have to offer and making my stamp in the industry, becoming a part of the family. Who knows what the future looks like? I'll take the lemons as they come my way and make lemonade for everyone.

How do you define a true "Porn Star"?

A normal person who walks down the street and people stare and know exactly who they are where they've seen them. That to me is a true Porn Star.
