Serg Shepard wins Group Scene of the Year at Latin Grabbys
An award-winning pool-party with Canino Latino.
One of the big winners from the Latin Grabby Awards 2026 was Serg Shepard.
Alongside Jay Summers, Serg collected the award for Group Scene of the Year for a pool-party gang-bang scene filmed by Canino Latino.
"It is my grand honour and pleasure to receive this award with Canino Latino production and director Ian Tevo and with all my partners of the scene, especially my bestie bottom Jay Summers, love them all..." said Serg. "I didn’t expect this, honestly, I was just happy to be there and cheer for all my friends, but when I saw my face on screen, I was so excited."
"I'm also beyond happy for the Canino Latino guys who secured so many wins..." added Serg. "Honestly, working with them and with Ian has been one of the best experiences for me - every trip I've taken to Peru for filming has been a fun journey, I've made so many friendships."
"We filmed this scene in the amazing jungle near Iquitos, in the rain - it was intense, it looked just so beautiful - I knew it would be loved by everyone."
"Thanks to all the fans and colleagues who supported us and voted. I am so grateful to the Grabbys - it's definitely the event that unites us all."
Getting intimate with Serg Shepard
J Patel interviews Serg
Born in Kharkiv, on the east coast of Ukraine, Serg Shepard’s childhood was shaped by the realities of a newly independent country.
“There were lots of memories,” he recalls. “It was somewhat challenging because the country had early issues with economy and food. I wasn’t from a rich family, but my mom made sure we had plenty of everything.”
Instead of modern gadgets, young Serg spent most of his time outside.
“I spent most of my time playing with other kids, running around, exploring the world. I made toys myself and always found ways to be entertained. Some summers I stayed at my grandma’s summer house, gardening and raising crops to feed us in winter. Every day was a challenge… but a fun one.”
As a child, he dreamed of creative paths.
“I told everyone I wanted to be an artist or architect,” he says with a smile. “But secretly, I wanted to be like Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct — to make all men watch me.”
Even then, the desire to be desired was already burning inside him.
He always knew he was gay.
“I think I always knew,” Serg shares. “I wasn’t trying to be obvious in high school, but when people started calling me out, I just embraced it. I became more open to show I wasn’t ashamed. People actually respected it — you can’t bully someone who doesn’t care.”
His close circle was supportive.
“I had very good friends in high school. Some straight guys even protected me from bullies.”
It took his mom a little longer to accept it, but she eventually came around.
“She is more caring about my wellbeing. I showed her I can have a beautiful, exciting life, and now she is very supportive.”
The first person he came out to was one of his best friends from high school.
“He said he already knew,” Serg laughs.
As a teenager, Serg was far from quiet.
“Definitely not quiet. Not rebellious — I always acted smart and preferred to listen rather than fight. But I was definitely very horny. When I started fucking, I couldn’t stop.”
He still remembers his first time clearly.
“It was very exciting, but I was terrified,” he admits.
At just 14, he met a 25-year-old stranger he found through a TV text service.
“He showed me everything. It was great. I was addicted to sex after that.”
Soon after, he was already exploring threesomes with older men.
“I liked it, so I didn’t say no to anything… but I’m pretty sure they were using my hormones to their benefit,” he reflects with honesty.
The first time he recorded himself having sex was before OnlyFans.
“Before I started doing OnlyFans I didn’t really have the desire to record myself,” he says. “I was doing lots of nude photography, and while shooting I sometimes recorded videos.”
Growing up, a few big names dominated his fantasies.
“I remember jerking off to Rafael Alencar, Legrand Wolf, François Sagat, and some others.”
Now that he’s the one on screen, the realization still feels unreal.
“I still can’t really process it well — knowing that there are so many men obsessed with seeing me getting fucked.”
Getting into gay porn wasn’t a quick decision for Serg.
“It definitely took me a while to decide,” he explains. “I loved being on camera nude, but only for pictures. Doing video took me a long way to get comfortable.”
His family doesn’t officially know about his porn career.
“They actually don’t know it officially — I never told them,” Serg says. “I think it’s something I don’t need to discuss unless they ask. I’m pretty sure they know already because I don’t hide my socials, but we just don’t bring it up. It’s more comfortable this way.”
Even though his family is open-minded, he treats it like most people treat their sex life with parents — some things are better left unsaid.
So far, his career hasn’t created any awkward family gatherings.
“This situation never came up yet,” he says simply.
His friends, however, have been nothing but supportive.
“My friends are very cool with it, very supportive of my career and very proud,” he shares.
Dating, on the other hand, can be more complicated.
Before starting in studio porn, Serg wasn’t heavily into recording himself. “No, not really,” he admits.
His first official studio scene was for Wrestling Male, and it left a strong impression.
“I was super excited to do something completely new, but double terrified because I had never done wrestling or porn before,” he recalls. “I just let go and wanted to enjoy everything.”
Director Etienne was incredibly supportive, carefully checking what Serg liked and didn’t like. His scene partner helped guide him through the wrestling and then delivered an intensely hot sex scene.
“We shot massive loads. I loved and enjoyed every second of performing for the camera. I knew right away I would do more of this.”
Even though many guys jerk off to him daily, Serg tries not to overthink it.
“I don’t think much about it,” he says, “but it is exciting that I can bring people joy in any way possible and give them some moment of satisfaction.”
One scene he’s especially proud of is his threesome in Ashes Before Dawn for Naked Sword, directed by Alter Sin.
“I had a threesome with Paddy O’Brian and Sir Peter,” he says. “I’m very proud of it because everything was perfect — so beautiful and on point, as always with the genius Alter Sin. Working with two of the biggest names in the industry, who are not only super hot but also incredibly sweet and nice guys, was a dream come true.”
Some of his most memorable collaborations came with Canino Latino in Peru. “I love working down in Peru with sexy Latino guys, being the center of attention as a bottom in a gangbang,” he says with clear enthusiasm. “What can be wrong with that? They are so passionate and ready any second to destroy my hole.”
When asked about dream collaborations, Serg doesn’t hesitate. “I definitely want to do more with Paddy O’Brian and Sir Peter — we’ve only done studio work so far. Roman Todd would be so hot. And of course, François Sagat.”
He recently watched a scene that made him think he could kill it too. “I saw Derek Kage do triple penetration,” Serg says. “I definitely would excel in that too.”
What turns Serg on most when he’s bottoming on camera?
“Seeing other people watching me,” he says. “Looking into my partner’s eyes, clenching my butthole around their dick, and seeing their reaction.”
That mix of exhibitionism and intense eye contact clearly gets him going hard.
When he tops, he has two clear favorites.
“I love missionary because I can connect with my partner the most, but I also love riding,” he shares.
Before an intense scene, Serg relies on excitement to overcome nerves.
“The excitement of how it’s going to look and the final result overcomes my worries,” he explains. “I did one scene with 18 tops and aside from all the challenges, I was so happy about it. Good breathing helps.”
The quickest way to make him lose control? “Easy — sit on my face.”
His preference between passionate and rough scenes depends on the vibe. “It always depends on the partner, situation, or energy,” he says.
Serg has become a fan favorite at Canino Latino, known for some of the most hardcore scenes in the industry.
“It’s my happy place,” he says with genuine affection. “The guys are the nicest and the hottest. I have so much fun with them and I’m always happy to go back to Peru.”
Physically it can be extremely demanding — especially with long gangbangs under the burning sun in the Amazon jungle, surrounded by bugs and with limited clean water.
“But even so, it doesn’t bother me. I see it as a challenge I can overcome. It’s all about the result.”
He’s very enthusiastic about harder group scenes.
“Oh yes, very hot,” he says about triple penetration and gangbangs. “I can’t wait to try it. Maybe one day even 4 dicks at the same time.”
His recent cumdump scenes for Carnal Media were a different but very enjoyable experience.
“It’s always fun to be back with the Carnal boys — they treat me like family,” he shares. “It felt like I was just loading up. Those guys can deliver some massive loads.”
Would he do cumdumps, gangbangs, DP, or TP in his private life?
“Yes, and in fact I do,” Serg answers openly. “I love going to sex parties from time to time, or when I travel to cruisy places where I get fucked by multiple men. And if there is more than one dick and I don’t do DP, it’s a missed opportunity.”
When he’s not filming, his jerk-off habits are surprisingly specific.
“Ahaha, I jerk off to animated porn,” he laughs. “I love hentai and anime. Give me some creatures, orcs, monsters…”
Serg doesn’t often watch his own scenes to get off.
“Only if some of my partners put it on screen or at the parties,” he says with a smile.
One major fantasy he still wants to bring to life is turning his love for hentai into reality. “I want to put hentai porn into action,” he reveals. “To recreate some orcs fucking me or other creatures. I want it to be with huge production to make it look as real as possible.”
Doing porn has significantly changed his real-life sex life.
“It changed my sexual life a lot,” Serg says. “I prefer real connections and spontaneous sex over planned hookups now. I love cruising, bars, sauna sex, parks… Anonymous sex is a big turn-on for me. I love being watched in public.”
Filming has also taught him new things about his own pleasure.
“I do enjoy some rough things and submission that before I didn’t think I was focused on.”
Fans might be surprised to learn about some of his kinks.
“Love bondage, blindfold, slaps, cum, wrestling, and submission,” he lists openly.
When he’s not filming, Serg’s days are much more relaxed.
“I love waking up with my dog, watching TV shows, making breakfast, going to the movies with friends, seeing drag shows, and often going to Broadway shows,” he says. “On quieter days I play PlayStation and spend time chatting with my besties.”
The hobbies that keep him grounded are creative and adventurous.
“Theater, movies, and traveling are my most favorite things. Also, I am a photographer, so whenever I have time I’m in front of the camera.”
His impressive physique comes from serious dedication.
“I work out every day,” he says. “I have a 3-week written routine that I repeat over and over again. There is no skip day.”
Self-care for Serg is simple but essential.
“Good sleep, good mental time focusing on the things I like, friends, and good delicious food.”
His mornings are calm and consistent.
“A big cup of coffee, homemade breakfast, and watching my favorite TV show in the morning with my bestie.”
His family doesn’t officially know about his porn career, and Serg prefers to keep it that way.
“They don’t really know, we don’t talk about it,” he says. “If they know, they will be supportive in anything I do, so it’s all good.”
Right now, he is single but clear about what he wants in the future.
“Currently single, and if I’ll be taken I would definitely be open,” he shares.
Being a pornstar has made real-life dating more difficult.
“I think it definitely makes it harder to find someone,” Serg admits. “Lots of people find our job difficult or don’t respect it. Some get excited about it in theory but then see too many obstacles. It might be easier to find someone in the industry, but who knows — life is life.”
If he were in a relationship, he’s very clear about boundaries.
“If I would have a partner, my partner is not the one to tell me what I should do or not do at my job.”
When it comes to food, French cuisine is his weakness.
“I love French food a lot,” he says — the one he could happily eat every single day.
He enjoys cooking and has a couple of standout dishes.
“I enjoy cooking. I do a very good filet mignon steak, and I can also make you Ukrainian borscht.”
His playlist is full of powerful female voices.
“Britney, Celine, Rosalía, Mylène Farmer,” he lists.
Right now, a few tracks are on repeat: “Bergheim by Rosalía, Golden from K-pop Demon Hunters, and Madonna’s I Feel Love.”
When it comes to movies and crushes, Serg has strong taste.
“Lord of the Rings movies are my favorite,” he says. “I like a lot lately Paul Mescal.”
Travel has played a big role in shaping Serg.
“Life-changing for me was Iceland and Peru,” he says. “I’m always happy to go back to France and Italy.” His most recent highlight was San Sebastián in Spain. “I had the best food in the world there.” On his wish list are New Zealand, Japan, Ireland, Scotland, and Brazil.
He’s definitely open to visiting India.
“Definitely. The closest I’ve been is Sri Lanka,” he shares. “If I visit, I am open to meeting my fans, of course — host some events, etc.”
Being recognised in public always touches him.
“It’s always very special and humbling,” Serg says. “It means a lot. It feels like I am doing something very special in my life.”
He’s received some wild DMs over the years. “Death threats, lol. And proposals to marriage,” he laughs.
The sweetest messages often come from Ukrainian fans.
“Often there are some fans from Ukraine telling me that my life and my courage makes them feel like they have a chance to do something similar and change their lives for the better.”
The idea that guys all over the world watch and jerk off to him still feels unreal.
“I am scared to think about it — it’s something surreal,” he admits. “But when it comes up, I always feel so much pride and happiness that I can give some people joy.”
One piece of advice from another porn-star that stuck with him: “Stay and be yourself. Perform for the camera, but in real life be yourself.”
Serg sees industry awards and events like the Grabby Awards in a positive light.
“I see industry awards as an opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, network with creators and studios, and feel a sense of community in our industry. It’s a celebration of all of our hard work.”
He’s clear about separating real intimacy from on-camera performance.
“Performing is performing. You can use your intimacy to make it look special, but in real life you’re building a connection that sticks for a longer time. I can easily switch between the two. At work I enjoy the performance for the camera, while in real life my focus is mainly on my partner.”
For a relationship to survive the public nature of his job, certain things are essential.
“It’s all about trust, listening to your partner, and support matters a lot. You need to enjoy and celebrate your partner’s accomplishments.”
For 2026 and the coming years, Serg has clear ambitions.
“Keep filming new projects, bigger productions. I want to start filming in Brazil and someday start working on my own production,” he shares.

When it comes to legacy, he thinks long-term.
“I want my name to be remembered, and I want to create my own company one day that will be passed on to other generations.”
He hopes people will remember him with joy.
“I hope they will have a feeling of joy or excitement about me. That maybe they will still be watching my porn as vintage, enjoying it the same way, and possibly google my name to find out who I am.”
Porn is not necessarily the end of his story.
“Life will show,” he says. “I also continue my artistry as a photographer and have plans to possibly create my own production someday.”
If he could speak to his younger self — the boy secretly watching porn — his advice is heartfelt: “Enjoy life, cherish people you love, learn as much as possible. Knowledge is everything. Don’t be shy about anything, just be brave to do what you really love doing.”
These days, he laughs the hardest with his closest friends.
“My besties Richard and Jasmine — we have a special unique connection and a very special sense of humor.”
One small daily pleasure he never skips? “Desserts, and some good current series.”
When everything goes quiet at night, gratitude fills him. “My mom, my friends, the opportunities life has given me, and the strength to say yes to things.”
And finally, if porn had never happened?
“I don’t think it’s possible,” Serg says with confidence. “I am in the right place at the right time of my life. I’m very happy with what I do and will continue my journey of exploration.”
From a curious boy growing up in Kharkiv to one of the most passionate and adventurous performers in gay porn, Serg Shepard has built a life defined by courage, pleasure, and authenticity. Whether he’s getting destroyed in hardcore gangbangs in Peru, dreaming of hentai-inspired fantasy scenes, or quietly planning his future empire, one thing is clear — Serg is exactly where he’s meant to be.
We can’t wait to see what this brave, hungry, and joyful star does next.
