However, after studying fashion for two years in Paris and working briefly as, what he called a “slave assistant” in various fashion houses, Sagat left the profession. He felt that he had not been given the opportunities he deserved, and has claimed that it actually cost him money to work in the fashion industry, since he was often not paid for his work.<ref name="TheMan3">{{cite web|first=Rob|last=Evers|url=http://beautiful.blogs.com/beautiful/2006/07/franois_sagat_t_2.html|title=François Sagat: The Man Behind the Mask Part 3|publisher=[[Beautiful Mag]]|date=2006-07-21|accessdate=2007-09-07}}</ref> Around age twenty-one, Sagat looked to working in the adult film industry. He did photographic work for several French companies, but felt he was poorly treated and put his career in front of the camera on hold.<ref name="TheMan" /> At the age of twenty-five, he was contacted by a French pornographic studio called [[Citebeur]] while chatting on a gay chat line. He accepted their offer and, a few weeks later, performed in his first movie.<ref name="TheMan" /> It became an instant success, and Sagat decided to seek a full time job in the porn industry. Six months later, he was invited to move to the USA and, there, shot his first scene for the porn film ''[[Arabesque (gay film)|Arabesque]]''.<ref name="TheMan" /> In the United States, Sagat quickly found a niche in the muscle genre where he became known for his distinctive scalp tattoo.<ref name="TheMan2">{{Cite web|first=Rob|last=Evers|url=http://beautiful.blogs.com/beautiful/2006/07/franois_sagat_t_1.html|title=François Sagat: The Man Behind the Mask Part 2|publisher=[[Beautiful Mag]]|date=2007-09-07|accessdate=2006-07-14}}</ref> In a recent interview he explained that his hair began to thin out a few years ago and since he felt that his head was too long and disproportionated. In order to make it more symmetrical, he decided to get a tattoo that gave the illusion of hairy scalp. He also added perpendicular lines in appreciation of [[Hip hop]].<ref name="TheMan2" /><ref name="StarrProfile" /> He has another, equally distinctive tattoo: a combination of a sickle moon and star reminiscent of the [[Flag of Turkey|Turkish]] and [[Flag of Tunisia|Tunisian]] flags. He explained that he loves Arabic men and that the tattoo is his tribute to those people and cultures he admires and respects.<ref name="TheMan2" /> As a pornographic actor, he was both [[Top and bottom in sex and BDSM|top and bottom]] and also performed BDSM. Although known primarily for his gay movies, he appeared in his first bisexual scene, in 2007, in the film ''Gay Arab Club''. In that same year, Sagat was nominated for six [[GayVN Awards]], and won the award for best newcomer. For some time, he was in a relationship with well-known European porn star [[Francesco D'Macho]].<ref name="fleshbot">{{cite web|first=James|last=Payne|url=http://fleshbot.com/sex/video/only-the-very-best-of-francois-sagat-288454.php|title= Only The Very Best Of Francois Sagat|publisher=[[Fleshbot]]|date=2007-08-13|accessdate=2007-08-24}}</ref> The two have since gone separate ways. Sagat was a [[Titan Media|Titan]] exclusive, but briefly retired from the industry. He is staging his comeback in late [[2008]], but not as a [[Titan Media|Titan]] exclusive. In spring of 2008, a video began circulating of François and an unnamed blonde woman making out. The video was posted on François' [[MySpace]] page and personal blog as well as on [[YouTube]]. ==Selected videography== *'''Titan Media''' **''Stretch (2007)'' **''Folsom Leather (2007)'' **''Shacked Up (2007)'' **''H2O (2007)'' **''SPY Quest 3 (2007)'' **''Breathless (2007)'' **''Folsom Filth (2007)'' {| |valign="top" width=33%| *'''Raging Stallion''' **''Bedroom Eyes (2006)'' **''Manhattan (2006)'' **''Fistpack 7: Twist My Arm (2006)'' **''Centurion Muscle II - Alpha (2006)'' **''Escape From San Francisco (2006)'' **''Tough As Nails (2006)'' **''[[Arabesque (gay film)|Arabesque]] (2006)'' **''MANIFESTO (2005)'' **''Hard As Wood (2005)'' **''Knight After Night (2005)'' **''Hole Sweet Hole (2005)'' *'''Citebeur''' **''Wesh Cousin 7 - C'est d'la balle (2006)'' **''Wesh Cousin 6 - Cho bouillants (2005)'' **''Wesh Cousin 5 - Relax man (2005)'' **''Univers Black - Matos de blackoss (2005)'' *'''Diapopic''' **''François Sagat : Le DVD (2005)'' **''Pompiers mis à nu (2005)'' **''Pompiers mis à nu 2 (2005)'' |} *'''Documental''' **''[[La nudité toute nue]] (2007)'' {{start}} {{s-awards}} {{s-bef|before=[[Gus Mattox]]}} {{s-ttl|title=[[GayVN Awards]] for Performer of the Year|years=2007}} {{s-aft|after=-}} {{end}} ==See also== *[[List of gay porn stars]] == References == {{reflist}} == External links == * [http://www.francoissagat.com FrancoisSagat.com] - official website * [http://fsagat.blogspot.com/ Personal blog] * [http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=287465293 MySpace page] * {{imdb name |id=2088684 |name=François Sagat}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Sagat, Françcois}} [[Category:1979 births|Sagat, Françcois]] [[Category:French porn stars|French porn stars]] [[Category:LGBT people from France|Sagat, Françcois]] [[Category:Living people|Sagat, Françcois]] [[Category:People appearing in gay pornography|Sagat, Françcois]] [[fr:François Sagat]] [[it:François Sagat]]
