Ricky Johnson Profiled by Hip-Hop Mag 'The Hype'

LOS ANGELES—Mainstream hip-hop mag The Hype published an extensive interview Friday with rising male performer Ricky Johnson about his 2017 AVN Best Male Newcomer win, his career goals and more. In “The Perils & Perks of being a Porn Star: Ricky Johnson,” the up-and-comer discusses topics including his days as an athlete in college, the advice he gives guys who want to get into adult, why porn is a business, why he chose adult over a corporate career, and what’s in his future. The interview is accompanied by an array of photos and personal Instagram shots from the red carpet and his winning moment at the AVN Awards, along with the trailer for Wicked Pictures’ Ethni•City, which features him in a breakout acting performance. “I’m a huge fan of The Hype, and was very excited when they wanted to interview me,” Johnson said. “I’m hoping to make some new fans and let people see another side of me. A lot of people have ideas about what a male porn star is, but it’s far from how we really are.” Read the article in its entirety here.
