PARIS, FR — In this last half of the year, Kinkyboys looks back on a year 2024 rich in content, performances, revelations and success. Originally from Lyon in France, Hugo Dupré has become in a few months one of the French porn actors arousing the most curiosity in France and around the world.
It was on this occasion that Kinkyboys named Hugo Dupré, “Promising French Porn Actor”, succeeding Even Canaillou who was named last year.
We invite you to know a little more about him in this exclusive interview for Kinkyboys. Between awards shows and content creation, this year, Hugo has experienced significant moments, sometimes heights that he never imagined he would reach, but without ever boasting about them.
His greatest asset lies in this ability to remain grounded, even when everyone seems to be pushing him onto a pedestal. He moves forward with simplicity, never forgetting where he comes from or the efforts that have brought him here.
He speaks openly about his childhood, his journey since French Twinks, his obstacles but also his arrival at Carnal Media, making him Carnal’s first french exclusive.
PART 1 : HUGO’S YOUTH
How was your childhood and what memories do you keep of those moments ?
I grew up in a house on the countryside with my two old sisters. It was a childhood full of games. My favorite moments was in the summer when we could play in the garden, there was a tall weeping willow. We spent many times underneath.
Can you describe yourself in three words ?
Things that thrills me the most are art, people and sport.
You seems to be a person surrounded by your friends, was it the case in the past ?
I never had many friends, it was always with few friends that I spent the time the most.
PART 2 : CONTENT CREATION & SOCIAL MEDIA
What do you like about creating content ? Porn leads you to discover new landscapes and experience unforgettable moments in France and abroad, what are your favorite countries and your favorite events?
It’s an excellent excuse to travel everywhere, go to all the gay events in Europe, meet lots of people and above all have fun, enjoy.
This is also what pushes me to continue in this field: I see all the positive things it can bring to my life. I don’t want to stop at all.
It’s the perfect definition of ‘enjoy the moment’.
What is the most unusual collaboration you have done ?
I made a video with Mika Ayden, in the rain in a garden in view of a team of masons who were building a house right next door.
It has become easier to combine the creation of so-called “amateur” content and studio porn. Is it a strength for you to combine the two?
Yes of course, it allows me to work more and develop more networks.
The downside is that it is time-consuming, and as a student it leaves me very little time. But I chose to do that, because I like it, and that’s the case ^^
PART 3 : PORN & FIRST FRENCH CARNAL EXCLUSIVE
How did you come up with the idea of getting into porn?
I came across the French Twinks recruitment page by chance when I was 18. It immediately attracted me.
If you are faced with a young man about to get into porn, what would you advise him?
You have to be patient, take pleasure in meeting people. Content creation and activity in porn is above all about meetings and relationships with other talents. Develop your network which will gradually become an essential tool and a bit of your resume, and above all get into the habit of doing sport every day. A healthy mind in a healthy body.
In June 2024, Carnal Media formalizes your arrival as an exclusive model at Carnal, thus becoming the first Frenchman at Carnal. CEO Legrand Wolf highlights your magnetic presence and your exceptional talent. This is the first time you have spoken publicly on this subject. What were your feelings about this great opportunity that was offered to you ?
I met the Carnal+ team at the Grabbys Awards. They immediately offered me to work with them.
I was very flattered.
It’s been almost a year since I took a break from the studios (I settled for Onlyfans). I thought it was the right time.
There are a lot of things that I liked about Carnal+, the team, the seriousness, the international side that it provides.
What do you remember from your first steps at Carnal ?
I met the two other European exclusive actors, Apolo Adrii and Bastian Karim.
They are both very kind and serious in their work, we have already worked together several times and it has always gone well.
I quickly felt confident with them.
They say about you that you will flourish the world of Carnal, your charisma generates an anthology of compliments at Carnal. What does this inspire you in the future?
I’m happy to please, I’m very happy with Carnal at the moment I want to continue working with them.
I will add that I find it great and very promising that Carnal is betting so much on Europe and giving more chances to its creators and talents.
What happens next at home promises to be grandiose alongside them.
PART 4 : HOBBIES, LOVE & SEX
You have developed a more athletic body, congratulations for that! You share your hobbies with us on Instagram. So for those who don’t know you very well yet, what are your sporting or other passions ?
In sport, I love skiing, bodybuilding, swimming and hiking. Otherwise I love music I am studying to become a sound engineer. I sing and play percussion.
Porn leads you to discover new landscapes and experience unforgettable moments in France and abroad, what are your favorite countries and your favorite events?
My favorite country to travel to is Germany, I go to Berlin Pride every year and live my best life. ^^
What are your three favorite series or films?
My favorite series is “Sense 8”, otherwise I love “Love, Death and Robot” and “Black Mirror”.
Some researchers, including cosmologists, think that the Universe, as we imagine it, is only a tiny part of a much larger whole: the multiverse. In a parallel world, Hugo Dupré would have been…?
In another life I would have loved to have specialized thoroughly in a discipline like I did with music. I would have loved to be a dancer or gymnast.
The culture is very vast and rich, which artist (whether singer, painter, actor, visual artist…) do you admire the most?
The question is very difficult, there are so many artists that I admire.
But I think that the ones that thrill me the most are the singers… I always shiver when listening to Barbara, Dalida or Amy Winehouse.
Choose three personalities/celebrities: For a workout session, for a massage session, for a dinner.
Leon Marchand for working out, Tom Holland for the massage and Timothée Chalamet for the dinner, he’s a twink, he won’t finish his meal 🙂
PART 5 : HUGO DUPRÉ (& HOPPO)
We have seen your meteoric rise in the world of porn in recent years and this only seems to continue, notably by having won the Best Twink Of The Year award at Grabby’s Europe 2024 in Torremolinos, Spain. How do you view your career in general?
I am very happy, and proud to have managed to gain notoriety.
I remember when I was burning with the desire to do porn but I didn’t have any “resume” to apply to studios, today it’s the studios that come to me.
It really makes me happy, but I’m not for a star.
If there’s one thing good that porn and content creation have given you, what would it be?
Beyond the fun side, and the meetings. It brought a lot of order to my life, it gave me discipline for sport, to manage my money, my diary and my schedule. It made me grow a lot.
We still remember your debut at French Twinks which marked your arrival in the very vast world of adult entertainment, the more the years go by the more Hugo gains in confidence, we can see it through the different photo shoots. Did this confidence shape your personality during filming ?
It’s true that I gained a lot of self-confidence, in porn but also in life in general. During filming I try to be as easygoing as possible, I stay focused on what I have to do, but if something is wrong I won’t hesitate to say so.
What is all the more surprising about you, Hugo, is that you do not hesitate to keep this slight touch of madness and curiosity, notably through his twin Hoppo, is this a way for you to express a new side of you ?
I have always been attracted to puppies, furries and this whole universe.
Without ever really doing anything with it. Hoppo is my way to explore this world, and so far I’m loving it!!!
I love taking a puppy walk in the evening to let go 100%, I can do whatever I want, since I’m a dog 🙂 People pet me and tell me that I’m a “good boy”. It makes everything simpler.
The second thing is that I love the visual aspect it gives me, I find it aesthetic, mysterious and underground… When I wear my hood I want everyone to see me, so I do everything for it.
That’s why I also develop social networks as Hoppo, and also because I don’t want to hide parts of my personality.
Do you have any future collaborations/projects? If so, can you tell us more (if possible of course)
I am in the process of organizing a stay in a large chalet in the mountains with around 10 French content creators for this winter, to do collabs in a “fireside” atmosphere but also to do photo shoots in mountain landscapes and of snow. Great things are ahead, folks ! ^^
