Featured Star: Matthew Rush

Matthew RushSix feet tall and full of muscle, Matthew Rush has been one of the most popular gay porn stars of the last decade. Born on September 22, 1972, Matthew is on the cusp of Virgo and Libra.

After filming his first adult movies in 2001, it wasn’t long before Matthew was one of the industry’s superstars. His immense popularity showed when he won Best Newcomer trophies at the Grabbys and the GayVN Awards in 2002, along with Best Solo at the Grabbys the same year. Matthew’s trophy case must be getting full, as he’s taken home Grabby Awards for Best Performer and Best Duo (2003), a Grabby Award for Hottest Ass (2005), and a Grabby Award for Best Versatile Performer (2010). He also became a member of the Grabby Awards Wall of Fame in 2006.

Such was Matthew’s star power that he became one of the few performers ever to sign a lifetime exclusive contract with Falcon Studios, for which he starred in films like The Recruits, From Top To bottom, and Bootstrap. Matthew also directed his first feature for Falcon Studios, Rush and Release. On screen Matthew is known mainly as a top, although he has bottomed for a handful of performers including Ethan Kage, Erik Rhodes and Rob Romoni.

Matthew has achieved success as a mainstream actor, a dream of many porn stars. He has appeared in the TV detective film Third Man Out alongside Chad Allen and in the motion picture Another Gay Movie. Matthew has also enjoyed a lot of success in theater, acting in the traveling stage production of Making Porn as well as Naked Men, Psycho Beach Party and CellbloQ.

Aside from performing, Matthew is a bodybuilder and professional trainer under his real name, Gregory Grove. He has competed at the Gay Games in Sydney, Australia, and hopes to one day open a gym. Matthew also works as head of “FabScout Live,” a live entertainment division of gay adult agency FabScout.

In January of 2009 Matthew made industry headlines when he announced he’d be parting ways with Falcon Studios. Matthew asked to be let out of his Lifetime Exclusive contract in order to pursue other interests within the industry. His final performance for Falcon was a live webcam show on January 11, 2009. His first post-Falcon porn shoot was with Pantheon Productions in San Francisco on January 23, 2009, for the film Brief Encounters. Riding the wave of Pottermania, Matthew starred as the evil Voldemorecock in the 3D feature Whorrey Potter and the Sorceror’s Balls in spring 2010. AEBN has just added his latest film, Affirmative Blacktion — an all-star extravaganza of interracial butt sex that you’ll gush over, quite literally!
