"At the geriatric age of 27 years old though, Mills is getting on a bit. He is, in the words of his, erm, mother, approaching "twink death", whereby a young, slim, hairless gay man is no longer all three of those things in blissful conjunction. It's a sort of no-mans-land for queer men who look 23, but are actually 32, and have responded by calling the novel, pitiful sproutings on their chin a "beard"."
"As does the Grindr logo-shaped award behind him - it's easily twice the size of his head - which he won in December after being named the 'Porn Star of the Year' by the dating app's users. Clearly, twink Mills still has his fans. But this year, he's going from twinky to kinky. In May, he will turn 28, and mark 10 years since he entered the gay adult industry as a fresh-faced 18-year-old."
Joey Mills entered the gay adult industry at 18 and approaches his 28th birthday and a ten-year career milestone. He remains popular, winning Grindr users' 'Porn Star of the Year' and multiple Gay VN Awards, yet feels his career plateaued after a 2019 viral elevator scene. He describes aging within the 'twink' category, confronting 'twink death' as facial hair and age shift perceptions. He prefers limited public recognition to avoid stalking incidents. He plans a shift toward kinkier work while acknowledging continued fan support and past peak accolades.
