Dan Leal Nominated for 2026 XBIZ Exec Award

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY — "Porno Dan" Leal of Immoral Productions has earned his fourth-straight nomination for XBIZ Community Figure of the Year at the 2026 XBIZ Exec Awards.

"Win or lose, I know I have done my best to make the European adult industry better," said Leal. "We launched Talent Testing in the United Kingdom, enabling them, at long last, to access affordable testing on par with the rest of the world. I have had several meetings and am in regular communication with Ofcom on ways we can work together to make the adult industry safer and to ensure effective and fair age-verification enforcement. My business partner Rico and I opened Market64."
