I was an aerospace engineer doing porn on my lunch break — then I got sacked

An aerospace engineer says he was terminated from his high-paying job after starting a sex work side hustle — but now plans to pursue porn full-time.

John Legendary, 39, was told last week that his position at a prestigious defense contracting company had been axed due to “cost-cutting” measures, but the Los Angeles-based Lothario believes a female supervisor discovered his erotic online activities.

“We got a new senior supervisor a few weeks ago, and she kept hinting,” Legendary claimed to The Post. “She was like ‘You look familiar, have we met before?’”

“I work remote, so she would only see me on Zoom,” the adult entertainer added. “[But] she kept mentioning it.”

Legendary — who has an MBA and a master’s in information management — took the aerospace engineering job three years ago. He started shooting amateur porn about a year later out of curiosity.

“I was in the hotwife lifestyle,” the kinky content creator explained. “I would f–k wives while the husbands would film me, so I was doing that and I was comfortable with husbands filming.”

That’s when Legendary started to think about how he could make money having sex.

“I was f–king these wives for free. I was just doing that as my Saturday night hobby, my kink I did on the weekend. What would it be like to f–k pornstars and get paid for it?” he recalled thinking.

Legendary was making around $150,000 a year at the defense contracting company, working remotely from his residence in LA.

He earned more money at previous jobs but chose to take a pay cut due to the flexibility that remote work was going to offer.

“I figured I could moonlight as a pornstar and get a couple of extra dollars,” the amorous engineer said, noting Los Angeles was an “expensive” city to live in.

Soon after, Legendary started an OnlyFans, shooting porn scenes on the weekend and during his lunch breaks.

The entertainer said he never tried to hide his saucy side gig and signed “conflict of interest” paperwork.

“You have to notify the company that you’re doing another job,” he explained. “I did mention that I had another job, and I noted that it was in an unrelated industry.”

Legendary amassed a large online fan base and the sexed-up star started to shoot with professional porn companies.

Late last year, he increased his visibility by appearing in the online reality show, “For The Love of Lena.” The show is hosted by podcaster Adam 22 and his porn star wife, Lena The Plug, and revolves around 10 men, including Legendary, competing to have a threesome with the couple.

Given Adam 22’s popularity, Legendary believes it was his role in this series that may have caught the attention of his bosses and co-workers.

Last year, Legendary also won an AVN Award — known as the “Oscars of porn” — for Best Foursome/ Orgy scene.

On January 27 this year, he won a second AVN Award for Favorite Male Indie Creator. He was terminated by the defense contracting company on February 5.

The entertainer estimates that he was making about $100,000 a year from his pornographic side gig. Now, he plans to devote himself to porn full-time and believes his earning potential is unlimited.

Money aside, it’s also a dream come true.

“I’m from Detroit, Michigan and I’m like ‘Hmm, I’d love to be a porn star one day,’” Legendary recalled. “You’d watch your dad’s VHS tapes and be like ‘Man, I want to do that one day,’ but you don’t really think you can actually do it.”

“But when you live LA, you’d be surprised by what you can actually make happen.”
