Lukas Ridgeston (born Juraj Vrzgula) is a Slovak actor in gay erotic movies and model in Bel Ami gay erotic magazines and books. He was born in Bratislava, then part of the former Czechoslovakia, now capital of Slovakia. His stage name originated with the editors of Freshmen magazine. The magazine did not 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” and both have been used ever since. Ridgeston received a university degree in architecture in June 1999. 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. Among the characteristics for which he is known are startling blue eyes, which have been described as “wolf-like”.
