Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita Star Spotlight: Jonathan Vargas

Jonathan Vargas asked me for advice on what would be best for his career. I told him he had a nice body, but he would be great with at least 4-pack abs. He came back with 6 of them. He told me he went to the gym daily, was on a strict diet, and did lots of cardio. I respect models who have their act together- who ask questions, follow advice, are ambitious and have discipline. I signed him as a new Lucas exclusive immediately.

And now, Heather asks Jonathan some Q and A:

What interested you in working for Lucas Entertainment?

I have known about Lucas Entertainment because I purchased and watched some of their work before and enjoyed it. I went for casting and it made a lot of sense to me. It's a strong and popular company, plus it's based in New York. That worked out best since I go to school in NYC and I didn't want porn to interfere with my studies.

What was your experience working with Michael?

The experience has been amazing. I wasn't sure what to expect. What was important to me was that everyone on the crew tried their best to make me as comfortable as possible. Everyone was extremely polite and answered any question I had. My only complaint would be that there was no food after my scene because the crew ate it all! But next time we filmed I grabbed my food early and set it aside for later.
(Sorry Jonathan! We will try better next time!)

What attracted you to doing Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita?

Well, I had known about the movie for some time, but I wasn't originally cast. I made it in by a chance of luck- funny story actually ... It was NYC fashion week and Michael had spotted me at the BCBG show. He was so impressed by my determination to workout and get into shape that he sent me into the office and immediately cast me in the movie.

What did you like most about the experience?

The best thing about the whole experience was meeting all these amazing people, including people I've known about like Pete Ross and Jason Ridge. I have read their blogs for some time now and actually meeting them was exciting. They were so nice and so much fun to be around. I loved it!!!

What is your character?

I had the best part of all! I was Rick Arnold's (Pete Ross) date (a young trick)

Describe your scene.

Well, it was right after the fashion show and I decided to give Rick the goods. We head to his apartment to make out and the next thing you know, we are getting down and dirty.

Any funny or steamy stories from the set?

Funny stories, hmmmm.... We laughed and joked around a lot but nothing
really specific. It was funny getting hair and makeup touch ups while in the middle of a scene!

What was your favorite moment while working on Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita?

Besides the obvious, I would have to say the fashion shoot. It felt like I was doing fashion week all over again and I had a blast going to the shows.

How do you think this will impact your porn career?

The fact that my first movie ever is a high budget, over the top film should put my name out there. Tons of people are going to rush to see it and its great exposure for me. I do wish I had a little more experience, but overall I think it's going to be good. The only way to know for sure is to see where I am at a year from now :o)
