BUDAPEST — European male performer Kai Taylor has passed away, according to people close to him. He was 37.
The news was reported to XBIZ by Rocco Siffredi, who recently directed Taylor in his boxing feature “The Spanish Stallion.” The famed Italian director-performer was Taylor’s mentor in the industry and is currently in communication with Taylor’s girlfriend.
“I’m so sad, I can’t stop crying,” Siffredi said about the news. “It feels like I lost a son. I still can’t believe it.” He added that Taylor “had a big heart.”
Born in the U.K., Taylor had performed in the U.K. and European adult industry for 12 years. His IAFD page boasts over 600 scene credits spanning European studios Killergram, DDF and Pornbox, among others.
In an interview for a Brazilian publication, Taylor said, “I am just doing my thing. Hopefully I am recognized worldwide some day. One thing I can tell you. I want to be sitting at the top before I leave porn.”
“I wanted to be a porn star since I was young,” Taylor told the interviewer. “I got my first opportunity on August 11, 2010 and never looked back. I am still here doing what I like. Being a porn star has its goods and bads, but isn’t that with every job?”
An avid boxer nicknamed “The Gladiator,” Taylor's athletic background had recently led to a high-profile co-starring role in Siffredi’s “The Spanish Stallion: Field of Sluts” (2021), produced for Evil Angel.
When asked by the interviewer, “Do you have any role model in the porn world?” Taylor promptly answered, “I sure do. It’s Rocco Siffredi.”
