He has worked with numerous studios viz. Randy Blue, Falcon Studios, Jet Set Men, Dominic Ford, Lucas Entertainment, Raging Stallion Studios, CockyBoys, etc.,[7] winning the "Hottest Top" award at the Grabby Awards in 2014.[8]
In 2016, he played the role of Superman in Men.com's gay porn parody of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,[9] titled Batman v Superman: A Gay XXX Parody, which was the Best Porn Parody winner at the 2017 Cybersocket Awards.[10]
He has also starred in a documentary called Studlebrity (2016), which follows young men who have become celebrities only because of their looks.[11]
As a model, DiMaggio started working with Andrew Christian in 2013,[5] and became the face of the underwear line as their "Trophy Boy". He was named a FleshJack Boy in 2017.[12]
Rape and sexual assault allegations
