Here’s a cautionary prostate tale for the kids.
Gay porn actor Bruno Knight (real name Phillip Gizzie) was attempting to fly out of LAX on June 16th with half a pound of crystal meth shoved up his ass when things started going decidedly wrong. Go figure.
The British native never made it on the plane back to London. As he attempted to board the Virgin Atlantic flight, Customs and Border Protection officers — acting on a tip from the DEA — stopped and questioned him.
It became very clear very quickly to the officers that something was amiss. Knight had only been in Los Angeles for a few days with his partner Alister McCalister (amazing name), had no checked luggage, and was moving erratically and sweating profusely. When asked about his brief trip, he explained that he had been in North Hollywood partying with several male friends, and that he’d taken meth, marijuana, cocaine and GHB.
He was escorted to a holding room at LAX where upon further questioning he admitted to having inserted three large objects containing meth up his anus.
Two of those objects were produced shortly thereafter when Knight complained that he couldn’t control his bowels any longer.
He was admitted to Centinela Hospital in Inglewood, CA, where the third object finally came out of hiding at the behest of an enema.
The total amount from all three objects added up to 226 grams, or just shy of half a pound.

What an ass. ( triple entendra )

Ironically the “Security Control” flick he did with Kyle King for Men at Play is on just this topic.

I guess he was hired for his ‘capacity’ down there, not so much for his smarts. 😛 This is your brain on drugs, kids.

Weird, you’d think if he was going to be smuggling the stuff the last thing he would do would be to actually be obviously loaded when he got on the plane.
Honestly, sounds like he could do with some forced rehab, maybe this will end up being a good thing for him.
Sweet Boy
He made an ass of himself…quite literally
Dxley
Whahahaha. Only a gay man would pull off something like this, but at least he tried!
PARKAVMAN
He’s lucky they stopped him and it didn’t burst on the plane. Can you imagine the flight attendant trying to make him stay in his seat?
queerdude
Gives a whole new meaning to booty bump…

@Dxley:
Gee, I guess you missed the news over the last…..4 decades or so of drug mules coming over the boarder with balloons of Heroine that they’ve swallowed or stuffed up their ass.
Geeker
I’m surprised they didn’t find an actual mule up there.

@Geeker:
LOL!!!! You win this post.

Poor guy, probably the worst country in the West for that to happen to him in. At least it wasn”t China, where he would have been executed for it.

Here’s hoping he gets some treatment, very very soon. I think at the end of the day, we may loose more young men to substance use than violence and AIDS combined.
Stache99
@Teeth: I imagine he’ll get treatment …in prison. Transporting that much meth has all kinds of big penalties. No pun intended.
I’d say I hope he has a good lawyer. However, I doubt it. Poor guy.
ShowMeGuy
Meth…..one hell of a drug. Let’s shove half a pound of it up our ass.
Stache99
Back in my circuit days I used to transport some party supplies myself. Of coarse this was before 9/11 and it was just a tiny amount on domestic flights. I was never high though. Looking back it still was still very stupid. I can’t imagine what it takes to pull that off. Yeah, I think I’d be losing my poker face too under those circumstances.

Okay, at first I thought this was a joke but obviously this is very real! I want to think that after a horrible AIDS epidemic (that is quickly rising again thanks to unsafe sex due to METH USE!) gay men would learn but porn stars get a quick rise to fame and suddenly they believe they are invisible. Porn takes over their lives and the drug use that goes along with it. It gets me pissed off when these guys make a ton of money that goes to destroying their bodies with drugs when many people can not put food on the table, pay rent, or go on a weekend trip never mind travel round the world. Porn is a cheap, easy way for people to make money however making it their lifelong career to me is a waste of a life. Now with the internet, you are famous one day and not so famous the next. I can see why people leave porn; although it is hot to watch sexy, muscular guys get it on, there is an intrinsic darkness in the industry and that is drugs especially highly addictive ones like meth.
brianbada50
TYPO-Meant to say “porn stars get a quick rise to fame and suddenly they feel INVINCIBLE!”
Lvng1tor
Tired of seeing people throw away their lives on this addiction. I hope he gets the treatment he needs. This is a serious crime but I hope the prosecutors take into acct what this addiction can do to people and how it pulls on you. He fucked up bad.
DickieJohnson
Uhhh, I’m not familiar with his “acting”, but I’m ass-suming he’s a “power bottom”??? What a terribly stupid thing to try, bless his heart!
Stache99
@brianbada50: Sweety everyday people get busted for this. The only difference is that you’ll never hear about it on Queerty. It only seems like a porn epidemic.
Tackle
From the look of that pic, he looks like he has a sweet $SS.
But thank god they caught him before he boarded his flight.
On board it could have been a booty-hole blowout…

@brianbada50: Porn stars that get a quick rise to fame are few and far between. Unlike Hollywood, many didn’t get into porn for the fame.
vive
@brianbada50, I don’t think porn is as easy a way to make money as you think. From what I have heard, it is rather hard work, and many porn actors make their real money from escorting, which is also hard and unpleasant work.
And no, meth use isn’t particularly associated with porn or escorting. Not least because it makes most guys unable to maintain an erection, which is deadly for a porn career.
RIGay
Oh that poor, drug-sniffing dog. Barking, “There’s meth up there, but MAN… WTF is that other stench!”
masc4masc
Why does Queerty crop censor pics? I think we can all handle seeing a man’s bare ass, guys.
Paco
I think he misunderstood when he was told he needed more junk in his trunk.

Haha!! Love it.
brianbada50
@Stache99: Well people get busted for drugs every day but I have never heard of a porn star getting arrested with A HALF A POUND of crystal meth up his ass SWEETY DAHHHLING! LOL.
Stache99
@brianbada50: Sweet ums this just contradicts your last last comment about how porn turns you into a out of control drug addict. If that was the case then you shouldn’t be surprised.
brianbada50
@Stache99: I was by no means saying ALL porn stars; I have just never heard of a porn star being caught in an airport with drugs up this crack, okay?! Most of it are discreet or insiders know what is going on more than newspapers and the media
Stache99
@mz.sam: My big question is how were the DEA agents tipped off in the first place.
brianbada50
Bruno/Phil is a hot guy and I like the clothing fetish stuff he has done with Men At Play. The think I question is individuals who do porn must for the most part be exhibitionists and enjoy being watched. Does that end after awhile and they have to do drugs to keep the job exciting or what?!
mz.sam
Bravery!…Philip ‘Bruno’ Grizzie put his porn experiences to good use. But my sympathies go to the DEA agents…they’re the ones that ended up with a shitty mess!
Stache99
@brianbada50: You should watch the show “locked up abroad”. I love that show.
Bruno most definitely should’ve watched it though. He would’ve learned the ins and outs of smuggling drugs up your cooch.

Really? Why does anyone do it then?

WHAT A DOUCHE!!!

North Hollywood is to West Hollywood what Atlantic City is to Las Vegas. In all honesty this may just save his life. Forced rehab works occasionally.
Stache99
@JimboinLA: Was thinking the same thing. Between some prison time and court monitoring he’ll get the help he clearly needs. One day he’ll look back on all this and be grateful.
CMA people say that the best day in their lives was when they hit bottom. That was the beginning of the end of their addiction.
Ben Dover
@Stache99: Blah blah blah. He will “relapse” and die.
Stache99
@Ben Dover: Depends. Usually they’ll get a break if they stay clean. He’s in the system now and they’re not just going to forget.
darkanser
@Cam: Amen to that…..;-)

Asses of Meth. He won’t be so hunky when his skin turns bad and his teeth fall out.

Support and kisses for Bruno.

I first met Phil and his then partner after watching them perform a very impressive fire breathing act in a London club in 2007. Back then they owned a small gay bar in an English seaside town. I booked them both to perform at my birthday party and upon arriving i could tell he was tweaked. One of the first things he said to me was do you have any meth? I had to point out it wasn’t that kinda party. So it was obviously clear he was hooked on the stuff from back then. After they split up he sold the bar and moved to London and as an incredibly attractive man with a great physic it didn’t take long before he was working the gogo dancer / porn star / rent boy circuit. Hardcore drugs are of course an integral part of that scene so for someone already suffering with addiction it was the worst possible lifestyle choice and it was only a matter of time before something like this happened or worse. I can only imagine what he’s going through and feel terribly sorry but hopefully the court will be lenient and he’ll get the rehab he needs. I always remembered that when I first met him he was an incredibly personable guy who actually did haven interesting things to talk about. Sadly though I think this is a classic story of small town boy getting himself mixed up with the wrong people in the big city.

They also found his brother’s class ring and car keys to a 1994 Volvo which had been lost for 15 years.
