Lukas Ridgeston (often misspelled as Lucas Ridgeston) is a Slovakian actor in gay erotic movies and model in Bel Ami gay erotic magazines and books. He was born in Bratislava, then part of the former Czechoslovakia, now capital of Slovakia. In 2005 he made his final work as an actor but he is still very much involved with Bel Ami as a cameraman, editor and director of Internet episodes.
His stage name originated with the editors of Freshmen magazine. It is common practice for magazines to assign names to photos of models, rather than the studios or the models themselves. The magazine didn't want to use a name from an Eastern Bloc country and chose the name "Lucas Ridgeston" as sounding more "Ivy League." BelAmi changed the spelling to "Lukas" as it is the correct Czech and Slovakian spelling and both have been used ever since. Ridgeston received a university degree in architecture in June 1999. One of Ridgeston's other interests is in Mini Coopers. An owner of a Mini, he is a member of an organization of Mini Cooper owners. A race was held at one of the meetings of the organization, which he won.
Among the characteristics for which he is known are startling blue eyes, which have been described as "wolf-like" as well as simply "dreamy," and the copious quantity of semen produced during his ejaculations, the intensity of which has resulted in his ejaculating into his own eye. Ridgeston performed nearly exclusively as a top in his films; however, he does bottom in the films Lukas' Story 2: When Boy Meets Boy and Lucky Lukas. (Lukas' Story and Lukas' Story 2 have since been combined and marketed as Lukas' Stories.) His last films as a performer were Lukas in Love and The Private Life of Tim Hamilton but he continues to work for BelAmi as a director, cameraman, and editor.
When asked, "Do you identify as gay, straight or bi-sexual?", he replied, "I always say I am sexual."
