PiCkLeS: Hi Ricky. Thank you for taking the time to sit down for this interview. First off, have you always been performing under the name: Ricky Cruz? If not what other names have you performed under?
RC: Well when I first started doing porn, I used the name, Damien. I used that name for Badpuppy, Latinboyz, Twinksforcash, Showguys, and Boysfirsttime. I used the name Ricky first for Helix Studios.
PiCkLeS: You have been in the adult business for a while. When did you first drop your pants for the camera?
RC: (laughs) - Shortly after I turned 18. It was for Latinboyz and it was solo.
PiCkLeS: That’s the best time to start I would think. Have you always felt comfortable in front of the lens? Ever get nervous? You seem to portray that you are comfortable and relaxed in the films I have seen of you.
RC: My first time I was very nervous - my first time bottoming on film.The nervousness didn’t last very long.
PiCkLeS: Which studio was that for?
RC: I am very comfortable with myself and I love to get pounded as it shows.
PiCkLeS: It shows. Trust. (giggles)
RC: My first couples shoot was for gaycollegesexparties.com. Wow! That was a long time ago! (laughs)
PiCkLeS: You are in your early 30s now correct? I’m kidding. How old are you now Ricky?
RC: I’m 19 now and soon to be 20 this july.
PiCkLeS: That is a lot of exposure in just the past few years. When you first filmed for Helix Studios, who was it with?
RC: My first scene with helix was with Ross Michaels
PiCkLeS: What movie was that scene filmed for?
RC: It was filmed for Cum On My Face 2.
PiCkLeS: That was just recently released matter of fact. From what I’ve seen, you seem to enjoy yourself in your scenes. You are also in the upcoming film, Twinkalicious 2 and you are on the cover with another 8teenboy, Tyler Kayden. You guys seem inseparable.
RC: Yes! Tyler and I are best friends forever. I love that boy more than life itself. I didn’t know we’re on the cover. Yay us!
PiCkLeS: You live in Las Vegas right? How is living in such a city that represents a lot of what this SINdustry is about?
RC: I was born and raised in Vegas. I live for it. A lot of people say that it’s too crazy but its perfect for me. Sin 24/7? What more could you want?
PiCkLeS: Have you been identified for your work in porn while walking down the street? Do people recognize you?
RC: Yes. I recently was at the MGM Grand and someone approached me and asked if I was Ricky Cruz and I kindly replied, “Yes.” He was so excited to see me. He actually started shaking (laughs). It was definitely unexpected but I love that.
PiCkLeS: Definitely with more films on the way, people will take notice of you.
RC: I hope so!
PiCkLeS: Let’s get deep for a moment. Do you find yourself an exhibitionist? Do you get turned on by people watching your performances?
RC: Yes its invigorating to think people all over the world watch me.
PiCkLeS: Do you think you are the same person off screen as you are on screen or is it just a different person you altogether you portray?
RC: I’m the same. I’m not portraying someone. It’s all me.
PiCkLeS: It seems that you’ve found a way to enjoy it while allowing other people to enjoy you. Do you plan on taking this to the next level and getting behind the camera ever, or is it just for fun while you are still young?
RC: Truthfully, I don’t know. I would love to be on the other side of the camera to see how that is, but you never know. Right now, I love what I do and wouldn’t change it ever. So when are you going to be on my side of the camera?
PiCkLeS: I’ll ask the questions (laughs). I have already been in front of the camera. For us non-models, there is always Xtube. I have stuff on there from when I was 19. Anything you want to say to aspiring young models about getting into this line of work?
RC: If I could say one thing, it would be to think hard before you put yourself out there. No matter what, do what makes you happy. Just don’t plan on running for President (giggles).
PiCkLeS: It was a pleasure as always speaking with you. Thank you for your time Ricky.
RC: You’re welcome. I loved it!
