A former porn star who worked in Los Angeles making adult films under the name ‘Crocodile Man’ is running in the Queensland election.
Craig Moore, 57, is running in the Brisbane Labor seat of Lytton in the upcoming state election as a tough-on-crime independent candidate.
He has chosen to confront the rumors that have been circulating about him. “It’s best to deal with it straight away,” he told WhatsNew2Day Australia.
I mean: yes, he was a porn star. During the 2000s, she starred in 97 adult films under the stage names Aussie Craig, Aussie Thunder and Crocodile Man.

“At the age of 35, Craig began his career as a porn star and slowly made a name for himself,” states a porn encyclopedia website.
“She has appeared in 97 adult film titles during her active years in the business.”
Mr Moore’s ex-wife, Jody Moore, was also a Los Angeles-based adult entertainment star and, like him, previously stood as a candidate in the Queensland election.
The father of two, who is now a palliative care nurse and practicing Buddhist, joked that he quit before reaching 100 films, working in the San Fernando area of Los Angeles, California.
“I didn’t do 100 because I didn’t want to be called an idiot,” he told WhatsNew2Day Australia.
Moore said that as a former porn star, she understood the pain of those who struggle.
“I’ve run charities, I’ve worked as a nurse, I think when you’re with people you understand pain,” she said.
“A lot of times when you’re in these industries, you encounter people in all kinds of situations.”

Mr Moore’s ex-wife, Jody Moore, was also a Los Angeles-based adult entertainment star and, like him, previously ran as a candidate in the Queensland election.
He also revealed that he and his ex-wife, who have since remarried, were open about their unconventional career in the United States doing straight porn.
“She was an adult film star: you have to be very open,” he said. “They’re both in the industry, they’re working and making a lot of money.”
Moore admitted that he had to use Viagra to perform on camera.
“You did it sometimes because when you made a feature film, it was man, okay, let’s go,” he said.
“Sometimes you’re outside, sometimes you’re out in the cold, like all artists do.”
He also revealed that he was not attracted to all the women he was associated with, even if they were pretty.
“I’m not really saying it was their looks because I was so blessed, all beautiful women,” he said.
“Sometimes, just attitudes.”
Her resume in the adult industry included titles such as Barely legal and busty beauties.
The other titles suggesting group sex are too graphic for WhatsNew2Day Australia to list.
Moore has ruled out getting votes from religious people. ‘Am I going to get your vote anyway?’ she scoffed.
Very few porn stars have been elected to parliament anywhere in the world. Cicciolina, officially known as Ilona Staller, had a political career from 1987 to 1991.
On his Facebook page, Moore stated that his top priority would be fighting crime.
‘Tough on crime. Exchange learning for prisoners in remote areas, build cities for the poor. Training camps for unemployed youth to combat natural disasters and learn job skills. I see the poor and needy, not the color,” he stated.

Craig Moore last month won 12.3 per cent of the vote as an independent candidate in the Brisbane City Council election in the Wynnum Manly ward, which Labor lost to the Liberal National Party.
It said many of its 3,234 voters had previously voted for Labour.
“I’m getting hate mail now,” he said.
Craig Moore recently won 12.3 per cent of the vote as an independent candidate in the Brisbane City Council election in the Manly Wynnum ward, which Labor lost to the LNP.
During the campaign, he published a Facebook post to address rumors about his past as an adult entertainment actor.
“People want to throw mud at me because of my past from 20 years ago,” he said.
‘So what message do we send to anyone who wants to improve? Men’s magazine, traveled the world. 80 adult movies, three reality shows. 14 magazines.’
Some casual voter had disapproved.
“An older lady walked past me and said, ‘Oh no, I know what your past is about,’ and she got a little funny, but I’m like a man’s dream job,” he said.
The Queensland election will be held on October 26 and polls show Labor Premier Steven Miles heading for defeat.
Moore’s preferences could decide a close race.
