[Male Model] Aiden Brady - What Makes A Man?

There are two famous Aiden Shaw, one only exists in Sex & City and another lives in this world. You know what? It is said that the former is named after the latter Aiden Shaw.

What makes a man? Muscle? Beard? Penis?

                         

Controversial model
Aiden Shaw, maybe we should call him Aiden Brady nowadays, because he changed his surname while starting his modeling career(On model.com, he is Aiden Brady). I have no idea why he wanted to change his name, or, maybe this is his true name and Aiden Shaw is his stage name, whatever.

After reading this article about him, believe me, you will be “jaw drooping” like I was when I read his story at first time. Aiden has been model since 2011 while working as an English teacher in Barcelona. He was 45 then, what did he do before been scouted?

He has worked in diverse fields, author, musician, model, escort and former gay pornographic film actor.

Aiden was high profile in 1990s in gay porn film industry. He made over 50 pornographic films and won the award for Best Newcomer at the Adult Erotic Gay Video Awards.

The interesting thing is, although he made such many porn films, he seldom watched porn film. He has huge love in books and arts (maybe filming porn is kind a art for him.)

What makes a man?
There were two major turning points happened on him at the late of 1990s, one was a car accident which paralyzed him(according to gayinfluence, this was the reason made him retire from the “film industry”) and another was he found himself was HIV positive (WTF!).

After going through these different and tough experiences, a lot of people would chose to put himself into depression or use drug and alcohol to escape from those shit.

Nevertheless having these hard time, he never gives up himself.

I think this endurance is the reason makes he looks very different in fashion industry. He is turning 50 this February, maybe you think he is too old to be a model. After checking the photo his took, you will find amazing strength through his eyes and his gray hair and you will realize we need this kind of model to take fashion editorial to the next level.

His life is full of adventures, he is a poet, an HIV activist, vocalist, producer, escort, composer and writer. He never hides his past story, instead, he wrote an autobiography, My Undoing, to discusses his life in the sex industry as a porn star and sex worker, his drug use, and his HIV status openly.

What makes a man? I would say is brave. (Honestly, he is hotter now than the time he did porn film)
