Lukas Ridgeston (often mis-spelled as Lucas Ridgeston, April 5, 1974 [citation needed]) is a Slovakian actor in gay erotic movies and model in Bel Ami gay erotic magazines and books. He was born in Bratislava[1], then part of the former Czechoslovakia, now capital of Slovakia. In 2005 he made his final appearance as an actor but he is still very much involved with Bel Ami as a cameraman, editor and director of Internet episodes.
Biography
The stage name "Ridgeston" originated with the editors of Freshmen magazine. The magazine didn't want to use a name from an Eastern Bloc country and chose the name "Lucas Ridgeston" as sounding more "Ivy League". Bel Ami changed the spelling to "Lukas" as it is the correct Czech and Slovakian spelling and although Bel Ami only uses the spelling "Lukas," both have been used incorrectly ever since by outside publications.[2]
Ridgeston received a university degree in architecture in June 1999.[2][3] One of Ridgeston's other interests is in Mini Coopers. An owner of a Mini, he is a member of an organization of Mini Cooper owners. A race was held at one of the meetings of the organization, which he won.
Among the characteristics for which he is known are startling blue eyes, and the copious quantity of semen produced during his ejaculations, the intensity of which has resulted in his ejaculating into his own eye.[4] Ridgeston performed nearly exclusively as a "top" in his films; however, he does bottom in the films Lukas' Story 2: When Boy Meets Boy[5] and Lucky Lukas.[6] (Lukas' Story and Lukas' Story 2 have since been combined and marketed as Lukas' Stories, although with at least one scene (not involving Ridgeston) having been removed.) His last films as a performer were Lukas in Love and The Private Life of Tim Hamilton but he continues to work for Bel Ami as a director, cameraman, and editor.
