ICONIC GAY PORN STAR JOEY STEFANO
IS A SAINT OF ANTINOUS



WE honour iconic gay porn actor Joey Stefano as a saint of Antinous. 

Nicholas Anthony Iacona Junior was born January 1, 1968, in suburban Philadelphia USA and died November 21, 1994, of a drug overdose. 

Over the course of his five-year career, Stefano appeared in 58 gay adult films, and two music videos with Madonna. 

Despite his success, Stefano did not save his earnings and relapsed into drug and alcohol abuse. 

In 1990, he was diagnosed HIV positive. 

On November 21, 1994, Stefano's body was found in a motel room in Hollywood. He was 26 years old.

He symbolizes gay men who skyrocket to celebrity but who fall into disillusionment and ruin just as quickly.

  1. You mentioned two different dates of death: Nov. 21 and Nov. 26. Actually, it's November 21.
    I still miss Nick/Joey a lot. Can't believe it's been 24 years since he died... Such a long time ago. But in a way, it still feels like yesterday.
    Nick was extremely disillusioned with the porn business and i mean EXTREMELY. He was depressed, sad, hopeless, lonely and had no money. And no plans for the future. There was nothing else he wanted to do. No real reason to go on.
    I do feel very sorry for him. RIP Nick. I love you and miss you so much.
