How Porn Actor Tag Eriksson Became A Million Dollar Real Estate Broker

UPDATE 11/21: Read more of Fredrik Eklund’s bio and see his Freshman shoot as Tag Eriksson
Fredrik Eklund is a successful, gay, Swedish-born New York City real estate broker who has helped find apartments for celebrities such as James Bond actor Daniel Craig, John Legend, Jessica Alba, Paul Rudd, Ben Stiller and Brooke Shields. His portfolio is worth more than $58 million and he’s also part of a prominent family with ties to Swedish royalty, prime minsters, and famous director Ingmar Bergman. Oh, and he’s also worked as a porn star for Jet Set Men under the name Tag Eriksson.
You may remember Tag from such hole-warming films as American Porn Star, Desert Pick-Up 2, Lords II: Return to the Manor, and The Hole, a film inspired by the Japanese horror movie The Ring where watching a certain “haunted” video tape makes you gay—he won a 2004 GAYVN Award for Best Solo scene for that film. Though he moved to the USA in 2003 he couldn’t find work, so he performed in gay porn from then until 2005, and then wrote a memoir about it called Lord of the Fruit Flies.
But even before Eklund got into porn he had already started his own software company in Sweden that made customer-relations software and he also began a music management label that scored small successes in Latin America and Japan. Even now his real estate firm is part of an HGTV reality show and Eklund is currently in talks with Bravo to star in his own show. Sadly, the show will most likely be about real estate instead of blowjobs, but Eklund is an interesting exception to the rule. While a lot of porn performers these days get their start in reality TV, Eklund shows that maybe it’s best to do porn first and then become a reality star. Well played, sir!
