MONTREAL – After a five-year sabbatical, adult performer Wolf Hudson has returned to the industry as a contract star with Nica Noelle’s Icon Male studio.

Hudson began his career on the gay side of adult entertainment. Between 2007 and his departure from the industry, Hudson appeared in more than 200 adult videos and scenes for studios including Devils Film, Jet Set, CockyBoys, Eurocream and KinkMen. Most of his action was with other men, but shortly before leaving the industry he segued into straight productions, most notably Evil Angel’s Voracious.

“This is such an exciting moment for us,” Noelle said. “When I first met Wolf five years ago, I fell in love with his passion, his commitment to authenticity and his refusal to let industry politics dictate his sexuality. He’s been a real trailblazer in adult film, and it’s an honor to work with him again at Icon Male.”

Noelle said Hudson’s contract begins with his appearance in the second episode of Icon’s gay series, Forgive Me Father. The scene, co-starring Connor Maguire, was shot in January and will be released in March.

“I left gay porn because I wanted to explore other genres,” Hudson said. “That was when I met Nica Noelle and started working with her. She was all about capturing real passion and intimacy in her films, and that inspired me as an artist. So when I decided I wanted to return to gay porn, Nica was the first person I called.

“Icon Male is the perfect studio for me at this exciting time in my career,” he continued. “The fact that they’ve ascended to the top so quickly is a testament to the quality and dedication of Nica and her team. It’s a great honor to be Icon Male’s first-ever exclusive performer, and I’m very excited to reconnect with my gay fans again.”

Noelle said the Hudson-Maguire pairing was intensely “real.”

“The passion between them was undeniable,” she noted. “They were hanging out, laughing and having a great time together both before and after the shoot. When two performers have that kind of connection, it really comes across [in the sex scene]. I think the fans are going to be very pleased that Wolf Hudson is back.”

She also said Hudson will “have creative input” about scene partners and character roles. “This is a collaboration. Wolfie and I are on the same page.”
