YNOT EUROPE – After a courtship of less than a month, UK adult performer Paddy O’Brien has tied the professional knot with San Francisco-based gay sister studios Falcon and Raging Stallion.

According to a company statement, the relationship began to develop in May after Falcon flew O’Brien—whom a studio spokesman called “drop-dead gorgeous”—to the U.S. for his first hardcore performance on the other side of the pond.

O’Brien already has begun working under the new exclusive contract. He recently wrapped on-location filming with Steve Cruz in Northern California for a Falcon title to be released later this year. In July, he’s expected to be among the cast of Raging Stallion’s two-part, big-budget fall release.

Award-winning Raging Stallion/Falcon director Tony DiMarco originally sought out O’Brien after watching several of the performer’s solo performances on websites based in the U.S. and the UK. Based on O’Brien’s on-screen presence, DiMarco cast him in Falcon’s Summer Lust, which was shot on location in Palm Springs, Calif., in May. The movie is in post-production now and is expected to release Aug. 20.

O’Brian also shot for Raging Stallion’s Jocks line during his first visit to the U.S.

“After working with [O’Brien], I knew he was a star,” DiMarco said. “He was awesome to work with, a really cool guy, and he fucks like a champ.” DiMarco said.

Raging Stallion chief Chris Ward, himself a former performer, called O’Brien “stunning.”

“Paddy O’Brien has a huge following in the UK and is quickly becoming a gay porn powerhouse,” Ward said. “We’re elated that he agreed to sign with us and be a part of our special Fall two-part release. When I met him in person, I couldn’t believe my eyes. He’s even more stunning in person—the kind of male beauty that stops cars, drops jaws and turns heads. He is one of the hottest men I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. With his classically handsome face, spectacular body and huge dick, he has the makings of a porn megastar. I knew the moment I set eyes on him that I wanted to offer him an exclusive contract.”

O’Brien, too, is happy with the arrangement.

“I’m very excited for my future in porn and thrilled that I will be working with Falcon and Raging Stallion Studios, the biggest and best studios in the world,” he said. “The entire team is so welcoming and helpful, and I definitely feel that I made a great move by signing on as a Falcon/Raging Stallion exclusive.”
