The mayoral race in this small Spanish village is heating up thanks to its sexy new candidate!
Earlier this month, farmer Antonio Moreno announced he’d be running for mayor of Carcelén, a remote town about a three-hour drive southeast of Madrid.
And while he may lack political experience, he’s certainly no stranger to a life of service: Up until about six years ago, Moreno was an adult film star who went by the moniker Héctor de Silva.
Yes, with credits to his name that include Hung Country, 2 Wet, 2 Wet Editor’s Cut, and Star Wars: A Gay XXX Parody, the artist formerly known as Héctor spent a handful of years in the spotlight. At this point, he’s got nothing to hide!
“I take it my past as a porn actor normally because my family, who supported me, knew about it and I have always told them about it,” Moreno said in a press statement, as reported by the Spanish media outlet Sur. “It is a stage in my life that I don’t regret because I learned a lot.”
Though born in the city of Albacete, Moreno relocated to the nearby town of Carcelén shortly after retiring from the adult film industry. He moved there with his partner and initially worked as a forest firefighter in the area, which is how he fell in love with the “spectacular” village and its natural environment.
Since then, he’s been working as a livestock farmer, but was convinced to run for mayor by the Spanish People’s Party, according to the Daily Star.
While Moreno loves Carcelén—which has a population of under 500—he sees it as “very neglected” and in need of some serious help.
“We have a very high IBI property tax and there is less and less population because there is no work to attract families with children,” he says. “Carcelén has many possibilities because it has nature, heritage and its August festivals that could be more widely known.”
As Sur reports, Moreno is up against incumbent mayor María Dolores Gómez Piquera—who has held the office since 2011—and the two will face off in an election on May 28.
The mayoral hopeful says he “made no secret” of his past when he moved to Carcelén, and believes that it’s not necessary to allude to his adult entertainment past in running his campaign.
But, for what it’s worth, Moreno sure is rocking a suit-and-tie in the gay film Mentor—looks electable to us! See for yourself:

And here I was thinking Justin Trudeau was handsome………………….

He is indeed quite a stud; sad however that he is the candidate of the Spanish equivalent of the GOP. His party is deeply corrupt, venal in its self-interests and homophobic seeking to overturn Spain’s gay marriage law. The party has officially called homosexuals “Tarada” or defective.

Reminds me of that gay pornstar who ran for British Parliament as a Christian, Mens-Rights Activist

Whoever wrote this article, clearly has no understanding of Spanish politics. The party he represents is the party that, alongside the far right in Spain, works to restrict the rights of the LGBT community.

A lot of twits here in the US support the GOP and MAGA Morons. They don’t care about the anti-LGBT laws and policies that they are endorsing.

Politics aside, the idea of favorite gay porn stars living long happy lives in the countryside is one I approve of. So many come to bad ends so soon.

Unfortunate that he’s planning to be the face for an anti-gay, right-wing party (in Spain), but he wouldn’t be the first gay man to sell out other gay/LGBTQ people in pursuit of power.

I highly recommend the podcast “Bad Gays”, which does deep dives into the lives of terrible or complicated queer people throughout history.

Did he delete his IG? People must be trashing him for being a political hypocrite. Sad to see him going down this path. I hope he loses.

He’s very hot, I found some of his videos online. What I don’t understand is how some gay men (especially a former porn star, no less) can suddenly do a complete about-face in their life and represent a party that oppresses them.

It’s called self-hatred…and unfortunately, very common in the gay community. Look at Peter Thiel, Richard Grenell, et al. Just because he’s a porn star and open about it, doesn’t mean he doesn’t like the person inside.
It’s too bad…because he is a very sexy man.

Access to power is the reason. Power corrupts !!

I can’t speak to specifics, but there are differences in political culture on the other side of the Atlantic And I’d imagine the various regions in Europe also have various idiosyncrasies. I’ve known a few people who’ve done varying amounts of work in porn. Some were full on sex workers, some held down full time careers and occasionally did porn to be sexually adventurous and get a little validation. There are certainly exceptions, but…they’re not what I’d call keen political minds.

the gay community is becoming a laughing stock. This just adds to it.

It’s a backwater. Nobody is paying any attention to is aside from a few specialty blogs like this one.

Everybody’s assuming he’ll just follow the anti-gay line of the Partido Popular. But nobody knows that for sure. What if he doesn’t? What if he only became affiliiated with that politcal party because the other parties already had candidates? I would wait for an anti-gay statement to come from him before being so quick to pass judgement on him. In the meantime, his campaign slogan can be “We need a dominant top in City Hall!”.

I think that’s a jolly good idea.

It’s a town of 508 people. He’ll have no budget, no infrastructure, no power. And likely minimal to no salary. The election was yesterday, but I’m not finding results.

Hector’s been a favorite of mine for years. I first saw his work (a lot of it) on MenatPlay, the English suit-fetish site. He’s also done some work for Lucas Kazan, so mostly European studios. I’m surprised to read he’s a member of an anti-gay party; hopefully he’ll work within it to change some minds. Queerty should follow through on this story and let us know the results of the election.

I like your style.

I wore suits daily for years – for work. I get that it’s a thing for some people, but they hold no allure for me. And call me kooky, but it’s porn. Take the damn clothes off.

…..OH!……. WOW!…….. Can we say Handsome and Sexy?????……. WOW!………. I wish him lots of luck and success in his endeavor. I definitely would vote for him…….. YeeeHaw!!!!!

Hopefully, one day soon, people will stop making so many distinctions between actors in the “legit” film industry, and those who do adult films. It’s time to get rid of the stupid, hypocritical mentality that equates watching porn with degeneracy. EVERYBODY WATCHES PORN. It’s just that a lot of people lie by saying that they don’t. In any case, I’d rather see a politician with cum on his face, than one who has egg on his face!
