RIP Wilfried Knight

Sad news, everyone. After the passing of his partner earlier this year, gay pornstar Wilfried Knight has reportedly commited suicide. He was 35.

The French performer had a series of career achievements over the past decade, including his roles in Lucas Entertainment’s Assassin and Raging Stallion’s Focus/Refocus, a 2010 GayVN Award for Performer of the Year, and a 2011 Grabby for Best Versatile Performer. As is often the case with performers of his stature, Knight’s warm, charming, and by all accounts hilarious sense of humor belied his rugged and intimidating physical presence (he was over 6’2″ and nearly 200 pounds).

Many are linking his death to the passing of his partner, Jerry. Regardless, hopefully he’s found peace and is in a better place.
