Bratislava , then part of the formerCzechoslovakia , now capital ofSlovakia . In 2005 he made his final appearance as an actor but he is still very much involved with Bel Ami as a cameraman, editor and director of Internet episodes.Biography
His stage name originated with the editors of "Freshmen" magazine. (It is common practice for magazines to assign names to photos of models, rather than the studios or the models themselves.) The magazine didn't want to use a name from an Eastern Bloc country and chose the name "Lucas Ridgeston" as sounding more "
Ivy League ". BelAmi changed the spelling to "Lukas" as it is the correct Czech and Slovakian spelling and both have been used ever since.Ridgeston received a university degree inarchitecture inJune 1999 .cite web|author=Duroy, George|authorlink=|coauthors=|title=Lukas Ridgeston|work=BelAmi Models|publisher=George Duroy|date=|url=http://www.belamimodels.com/model.php?id=31|format=|doi=|accessdate=2006-11-05] [cite web|last=|first=|authorlink=|coauthors=|title=Lukas Ridgeston|work=Porn Stars|publisher=www.juicygoo.com|date=2003-12-03 |url=http://www.juicygoo.com/lukas_ridgeston.htm|format=|doi=|accessdate=2006-11-05] One of Ridgeston's other interests is in Mini Coopers. An owner of a Mini, he is a member of an organization of Mini Cooper owners. A race was held at one of the meetings of the organization, which he won.Among the characteristics for which he is known are startling blue eyes, which have been described as "wolf-like", and the copious quantity of semen produced during his ejaculations, the intensity of which has resulted in his ejaculating into his own eye.
