In America, the idea of a world leader being linked to an adult film star is nothing entirely novel by now.
But we aren’t the only nation in which the connection has been forged.
Although to Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s credit, nobody is accusing him of sleeping with, paying off or threatening said adult film star.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Still, the above photo shows Turnbull appearing to have a gay old time as gay adult film performer Justin Jedilca snaps a selfie, and the story behind the shot has some notable details.
So before we bury the lede any deeper, let’s start at the end of the encounter — how it was that Jedilca ended up being ejected from the meet and greet.
This tea was spilled by former Labour senator Sam Dastyar, who shared on KIIS FM:
“The Prime Minister has a private security detail. Their first job is to protect the PM for safety, and the second is to stop him from getting embarrassed.

“After the selfie had been taken, one of the security guards recognized [Jedlica] as a male porn star. He has a profile on XTube.”
First of all, the idea that a prime minister’s security guard is that up-to-date on his XTube roster is just fantastic.
But it gets weirder:
“They get the guy out of the room, escort him out of the building, and then there’s this bizarre cover-up as to who actually signed him in,” he said.
We expect a tense political drama examining this vital bit of intrigue any day now.

Then there’s the matter of how Jedilca managed to get into the event to begin with, but perhaps some mysteries are best left unknown.
“Clearly they didn’t expect the Prime Minister’s security to be so good that they’d even know who a gay porn star is,” Dastyar added.

My guess is that the man in the back, on the left, with the plaid jacket and bow tie recognized the porn actor. Maybe even invited him to the event.

^….I thought the exact same haha…..also, public figures should never have a problem taking a picture with any of the public who are well mannered. I’m not a fan of Justin Jedilca, but the pic is fine. bfd.
Brian
Yeah, I’m not seeing what the scandal is either. People who have done porn are people too, and everybody and their mother takes selfies when they meet a well known person. If the pic was Justin pretending to blow the PM I could see it, otherwise it’s just an old dude and a scary looking dude having a 5 second encounter.
Joseph
he is the human ken doll not really a porn star
Brian
Not in the traditional sense, but there are several videos of him floating around, and apparently he even had a porn name that he performed under.
iron
such a deal…no public figure should shun anyone.
who runs this junk

Exactly.

Lordy, this fellow looks like he has had a lot of facial reconstruction for a young man….maybe he is 40 tho, with much work done. We gay folks(or informed gay-leaning straight folks) are everywhere, even in security for prime ministers! Amazing, Who knew! Lol! The fellow’s escort could very well have been any of the pictured 3 men; granted, the fellow on the left seems to be the most stylish one. He sure does look like a Ken doll

This pornstar’s bio says he lives in Trump Tower with his husband. What is it with Trump and pornstars?

Ken doll indeed!! 300+ cosmetic surgeries; > £400,000. Pleasant looking man before surgeries. No amount of money will make this fellow attractive to my eyes; he will always be an oddity. Can you imagine trying to be a friend or companion with him; he will always receive the ponderous amount of attention.

Ken, more like a Barbie doll look alike

At first I thought it was a bad photoshopped picture but then I realized his face just looks photoshopped…
Cylest Brooks
I literally lol’ed.
daisydave
This gay adult film star’s head looks fake like his head is made of plastic like Ken Doll-ish. Gives me the creeps!
igoape
He is gay and an escort but not a porn star. He is a fringe celebrity for being the so called “human ken doll” for all his plastic surgery.
DarkZephyr
He has been in gay porn though.
Kangol
Simply put, because of the apparent plastic surgery Jedlica‘s face is a bit frightening. Not sure I could stomach even a short porn clip with him it. I’m not at all surprised that he lives in the troll village of Trump Tower, either.
To Turnbull’s security issues, he really needs to find better protection if an unknown like Jedlica can get so close as to take selfies with him. Turnbull isn’t some rando, he’s the Prime Minister of a major country.

Its a little different here in Australia. The Prime Minister goes to the beach for a swim with just his immediate minders or go for his daily jog. People can speak to the PM directly without having to go through security. Its good for democracy as politicians are not been sheltered too much from every day citizens.
ChrisK
I wonder who’s the wealthy guy he’s seeing now. Funny that’s never talked about.
OzJosh
The only scandal here is how sloppy this story is. There’s no detail about what event or occasion produced this selfie. If it’s some dinner, business function or performance, then it’s not something arranged by the PM’s office; the guest list would have been compiled by some third party. For all we know it was an event open to the general public. Also, it appears the guy isn’t actually a porn star. It’s Sam Dastyari, not Dastyar. And “burying the lede”? Must try harder, Queerty.
Armiya
Of course it’s sloppy.
nitejonboy
Oh god, the human Ken doll rears his ugly face again. God why would anyone do that to their face ? So sad. I’d rather be fat and cute then fake and plastic.

He is not a porn star. He has some homemade vids floating around of him blowing some guy but he is famous for having hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of plastic surgery, shoulder implants pec impants numerous nose jobs etc. LOL…secondly there are no porn stars anymore just hundreds doing online scenes where they are lucky to get 300 bucks.
