Porn Star Tea: Dean Michaelz
Article written by Alexander Rodriguez, host of On the Rocks with Alexander
By day, he’s an Andrew Christian Trophy Boy…by night (ok, and sometimes during the day too) he’s porn stud Dean Michaelz. Blessed in both front and back, he fills out his Andrew Christians very well. Very few good things came out of the pandemic, but one of those was Dean’s porn career. We can thank his porn (and real-life boyfriend), co-Trophy Boy Jkab Ethan Dale for that. THANK YOU, Jkab!
In Dean’s relatively short time, he has scorched the Fans Site scene filming with just about every hot daddy, muscle guy, bubble butt, and more in scenes ranging from intimate bedroom scenes to cruises and dance floors. We can’t stop watching! And what’s more…he’s a total sweetheart in real life.
We sat down with Dean to chat about his hidden talents, going commando, the do’s and don’ts of dating some in porn, and, of course, undies!
Tell us about your first sexual experience.
Oh, we’re gonna start the interview with the juicy questions? Lol, my first sexual experience was when I had taken my prom date back to her home. And yes, it was a straight cis female-identifying individual. She was my first experience with sex that wasn’t me hiding in my bedroom looking at porn on the computer. Even though I’ve come to discover who I really am today, we still talk occasionally and I’m grateful for our friendship.
Tell us about your first sexual experience on camera.
I guess you want to ask when did I post things from my phone to the internet? I have had several things prerecorded on my phone way before I opened an OF account. I guess I always wanted to remember the fun, sexy times. I first started recording things several years ago but only about a year and a half ago began to post them.
What made you get into filming adult content?
It was a combination of several things. The pandemic was in full swing and I had been recently let go from a dream job as a result. My now boyfriend Jkab Ethan Dale, who I was dating at the time, had encouraged me to give it a try. He was so sweet and has always been my biggest cheerleader. I’m so grateful to him. And the last factor was me coming to the realization that I’m only getting older and that if I wanted to monetize myself, now was the time to do it. As Moira Rose says “take a million naked pictures of yourself.”
What sets you apart from other adult performers?
I have an acting degree from a NY University so I can really sell a scene even if I’m having a bad day. I also enjoy making a genuine connection with the other performer. I find that Fan Site subscribers can smell BS pretty quickly. I want to sell the passion that’s taking place in front of the camera.
What are the biggest misconceptions people have about Fans content creators?
One of the biggest misconceptions I find is that many people outside of the industry believe that those who make content are all a bunch of addicts and fúck boys who don’t do anything else. Many I know in the industry have a career on top of their content creation. My time within the industry has been mostly a positive experience where quite a few performers have become very close friends of mine. We hang out a bunch doing everything from movie nights, dinner dates, and spontaneous trips to the grocery store late at night because we MUST have that Trader Joe Ube Ice Cream now! Lol.
What do you love about being a part of the adult industry?
I love that I get to share this experience with my boyfriend, Jkab. He has always been my biggest cheerleader and I wouldn’t change our time together for anything.
Those biceps of yours, WOOF! What is your favorite exercise for biceps?
Slow preacher curls. Get into it, henny 💪🏻!
What are the dos and don’ts of dating someone in the industry?
The do’s include being honest and communicating with your partner. Just like an open relationship, there are several rules that we both stick to and hold each other accountable for. At the end of the day, you are your business, but relationships have to have equal weight in the equation as well.
Some don’ts I would say is not being upfront about any situation. Especially if it’s to avoid a possible fight or argument. Relationships are hard and take a lot of work. But if you truly love your partner then you’ll give them the respect they deserve and have those conversations that may not always be easy. In turn they will show you respect back.
How did you and Jkab meet?
We met in Denver working on a tour of a Broadway musical in the fall of 2019. I remember vividly because I was a replacement in the cast and was downstairs in the dressing room when he came in with his shirt off…. And the rest is history 🥵
What must be a part of every relationship you have?
Communication, communication, and communication! I can’t stress that enough.
What celebrity would you most like to film a scene with?
Jason Momoa 🧜♂️
What are some outside hobbies or talents you have that we would be surprised to learn?
I have two other degrees besides my acting one. One of which is a bachelor's in History. I even toyed with the idea of getting my masters and eventually Ph.D. so that I could teach at the collegiate level. I’m a huge history buff/nerd. You can always find me learning something new about some far-off place in some far-off time period. I find it interesting because to me it’s just like storytelling. And the more stories you hear, the more you discover that humanity really isn’t that different from one another.
What kind of underwear are you wearing around the house on a day off?
To be honest, I usually go commando if I’m relaxing at home. BUT, if I did, it would be my Andrew Christian compression briefs.
What does it mean most to you to be an Andrew Christian Trophy Boy?
What being an Andrew Christian Trophy Boy means to me is the ability to work with other sexy Trophy Boy models who represent many different aspects of the gay community. Not all brands choose to have the representation that colors our rainbow flag so beautifully. It’s nice to see Andrew Christian using many different ethnicities in his campaigns all over the world.
What kind of underwear turns you on the most?
Jockstraps. Although thongs are starting to make an appearance in my fantasies as well now. Jkab looks great in either.
What is your #1 sex tip?
Keep up to date on your STD/STI testing and know your status. Your health is very important. You only get one body in this lifetime. Protect it.
What movie would you love to film the porn version of?
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
If you were to design a pair of Andrew Christian underwear, what would they look like?
Great question. I would do a royal blue color with a fun neon retro print. Blue is my favorite color and I always enjoy a fun pattern.
