Early life

Lee was born Adam Diksa [7] in the Littleover area of Derby [7] [8] [9] on 15 January 1984, [10] the son of an English mother and Indian father. [11] He attended Saint Benedict Catholic Voluntary Academy in the Darley Abbey area of Derby. [7] By the age of 18, he was working as a project manager for Network Rail. [7] [12]

Career

Lee's career in porn began after his friends uploaded a naked picture of him to a swinging website. [12] After seeing the post, a couple offered him a role in a porn film. [12] He first performed in adult video in 2002 at the age of 18. [8] He began freelancing in porn in England and then moved to the United States, where he signed an exclusive contract with Brazzers in 2005. [12]

Lee performed in his first Brazzers video in 2008. In August 2011, Brazzers placed a billboard advertisement with a photo of Lee in a tank top and sunglasses on Sunset Boulevard. [13] Dan Miller from XBIZ referred to it as "a landmark promotion for a male porn star". [13] In 2012, it was reported that Brazzers had taken out an insurance policy with Lloyd's of London to insure Lee's penis for a reported $1 million. [14] [15] In October 2013, he made his feature film directorial debut with Hot Chicks Meet Big Fangs for Digital Playground. [16]

In 2016, Lee appeared as a mentor and judge on The Sex Factor , an online reality series featuring 16 men and women competing for $1 million and a three-year porn contract. [17] [18] Lee, along with fellow porn stars Lexi Belle, Remy LaCroix, and Tori Black, would offer advice and judge the contestants throughout the competition. [18] [19] The series was critically panned, with reviewers saying Lee had "confused the deadpan tell-it-like-it-is judging technique of real TV with just straight up being a dickhead" [9] while calling the judges in general "stilted" [20] and "hard to watch". [21]

As of May 2020, Lee has appeared in 1,553 videos for Brazzers, more than any other performer. [22] He was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2022. [23]

Lee is a supporter of his hometown football team Derby County FC and has said that he "schedules his whole life around" it. [7] In 2011, while playing soccer for Hollywood United FC, he had to be hospitalised after breaking his jaw in two places. [7] [30]
