"I didn’t think anything of it at the time, but a while later it turned completely black," the 34-year-old said. After consulting the internet, "it was pretty obvious I had something called a penile fracture."

Ellis' journey into the porn industry wasn’t a straight line. After not paying taxes, he began selling drugs to pay off his tax debt and later joined a motorcycle gang. In 2015, he was arrested and charged with possession with intent to sell and was sentenced to four years and 10 months in prison. After a stint working in offshore oil, he made the pivot to porn. 

In an interview with the Daily Mail Australia, Ellis vowed to be more cautious in the future.
