Gianfranco (porn star)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gianfranco (also known as Benny Yip) is a male pornographic actor (porn star) who appears in gay pornographic movies.
He is known for his hairy chest and well-proportioned buttocks. Though often misidentified as Italian he is actually of Iranian descent. He performs mostly in the top role, but has performed on occasion in the bottom role toward the end of his film career. He began his porn career in the mid-1990s.
Ultimately, however, his lifespan in the industry proved brief and he reportedly found producers' demands for his services diminishing. Those in the industry had consistently characterized him as a prima donna, which did not enamor him toward his costars and directors.
By late 1997, he had largely pushed out of the video end of the porn business, opting to market his trade as an equity trader--he had bulked up his body in the years following his video debut and was named "Best Male Equity Trader 1997" in a nationwide talent search--and to appear in print for Colt Studios as "Ali"...and is his real name.
Today, he supplements his modeling work by advertising as a masseur, escort, personal trainer and physical therapist in West Hollywood.
