Former RAF gunner from Edinburgh is now a gay porn star

It’s not the most conventional of career changes…

But former RAF Regiment gunner Marc McAulay, who lives in Edinburgh, is now earning his stripes as a gay adult film performer and reckons he currently earns between £30,000 and £40,000 a year.

But he could be about to reach new heights after being shortlisted for five Prowler awards - including best International porn star - which he describes as “the Oscars” of the gay porn industry.

The 29-year-old, who is gay, hopes success at the awards will be the catalyst for a move to Los Angeles, widely regarded as the porn capital of the world.

Speaking to the Edinburgh Evening News, Marc said: “Being a Scottish professional porn star is popular with people in the US and Asia, they love the accent. Most of the guys I work with are either European or English.

“Living in Edinburgh is also great because it’s quite a cultural city and there’s a gay scene here.”

Marc was runner up in a competition called Mr Gay UK in 2008 and believes this helped him get into the industry along with his work in underwear modelling.

His first porn audition took place in London about four years ago and since then he has been performing roles on screen about once a month for various adult film companies.


Marc hopes to keep building his social media profile and make it big in the US one day.

Marc, who lives in Longstone, continued: “I have never worked with more professional people and the hotels and flights are paid in advance. It’s a safe industry and we have to get blood and urine tests done regularly - they put us through private tests and we sign each other’s paperwork.”

He has also built up a social media profile and earns money from subscriptions through an adult blogging platform called 'Justforfans.'

Marc, who joined the RAF in 2014, says he was a gunner in the RAF Regiment which meant specialising in infantry tactics, weaponry and force protection as part of an elite soldier team with duties like defending RAF bases and overseas air operations.

He was part of the RAF Regiment for about five years but remains a RAF reservist and says the air force has been supportive of his career choice.

He also has a very understanding partner who stays in the background whenever they go down to London for a shoot.

I simply don't believe it. Experience of infantry tactics, weaponry and force protection will have given him absolutely no knowledge of washing machine repair and he doesn't have a moustache. He's no porn star.
