You guys are so annoying. A lot of successes are based on luck and timing. Having the capabilities or every required metric doesn’t guarantee success. Jeff just got the poor end of that stick.
He actually did try to spin himself off to fitness related things but it was bit late and didn’t go anywhere. People already partly moved on the next thing by that point. Could he have started sooner? Maybe but did have the money to start a business at that point? Probably not. He had to work for Sean Cody first to get the money to do it. But the time he has the money, the looks fade and people moved on. It’s a shallow and vain industry.
Also, his time was slightly before OF blew up in a big way. He never had the opportunity of something like that at his beauty peak unlike say Timothy.
If Sean Cody Brandon (as in looking like his Sean Cody days) start an OF right now, He would be at Timothy and Malik levels but it was after his time.
Timothy would have been a flop had he started his career in Brandon’s time. He was lucky enough to enter a world where OF is a thing. It blew up exactly at his prime age.
I mean work ethic and attitude can contribute to success as well. Timothy was borderline homeless at one point too lol, but he was determined to do gay porn lol. That worked out in the end due to the timing and the luck and with his determination. Tim set out to be a porn star period, but also like I said timing AND luck play a role. Determination alone is not going to get you anywhere.
Jeff didn’t really want to do porn after Sean Cody. He wanted a normal career. That might have hindered his trajectory.
