Keiran Lee (born Adam Diksa[1] on 15 January 1984) is a British-American pornographic actor, director, and producer who works for pornographic production company Brazzers.[2] His penis was insured for $1 million in 2012 by Brazzers.[5] Lee performed in about 3,500 porn videos in his pornographic career.[6]

Early life and education

Lee, whose real name is Adam Diksa, was raised in the Littleover area of Derby, England.[1][7] He is of half-Indian descent.[8] Growing up, he attended Saint Benedict Catholic Voluntary Academy.[1] By the age of 18, he was working as a project manager for Network Rail.[1][6]

Career

Lee's career in porn began after his friends uploaded a nude photograph of him to a swingers website.[6] After seeing the post, a couple offered Lee a role in porn.[6] Lee first performed in adult video in 2002 at age 18.[3] He began freelancing in porn in England before signing an exclusive contract with Brazzers in 2005 after moving to America.[6] He started his pornographic carrier in 2006.

Lee performed in his first video for Brazzers in 2008. In August 2011, Brazzers placed a billboard advertisement with a photo of Lee in a tank top and sunglasses on Sunset Boulevard.[9] Dan Miller from XBIZ referred to it as "a landmark promotion for a male porn star."[9] In 2012, it was reported that Brazzers had taken out an insurance policy with Lloyd's of London, insuring Lee's penis for a reported $1 million.[5][10] Lee appeared in 1,368 videos for Brazzers as of October 17, 2018, more than any other performer.[11]

In October 2013, Lee made his feature film directorial debut with Hot Chicks Meet Big Fangs for Digital Playground.[12]

The Sex Factor

From May to July 2016, Lee appeared as a mentor and judge on The Sex Factor, an online reality series featuring sixteen men and women competing for $1 million and a three-year porn contract.[13][14] Lee, along with fellow pornstars Lexi Belle, Remy LaCroix and Tori Black, would offer advice and judge the contestants throughout the competition.[14][15] In her review of the series, Janis Hopkins from Vice News was critical of Lee's judging, commenting that "he has confused the deadpan tell-it-like-it-is judging technique of real TV with just straight up being a dickhead."[7] Lux Alptraum of The Verge was also critical of the judging, referring to the hosts as "stilted".[16] Jeremy Glass from Thrillist agreed with this sentiment, calling the judges "hard to watch."[17]

Personal life
