The announcement of the death of Tim Kruger has sent shockwaves through the world of adult entertainment.
It came out of the blue – a post to the Timtales website and social media that confirmed that Tim had died as the result of an “accident at home”. He was 44.
It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share the news of the passing of our beloved Marcel, the man you all knew and loved as Tim Kruger. To the public, he was the ultimate ginger pornstar; to me, he was a sweet, caring partner of over 20 years. He was also my best friend. He touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
I am very aware of the stigma that surrounds deaths in the porn industry, so let me make this very clear to hopefully cut down on the inevitable speculation: Tim’s death was a tragic, yet simple accident at home. There were no drugs involved, nor was there any indication of foul play or suicide.
Though my heart is broken into pieces, I find solace in the countless memories he gifted us. And I know that he died knowing he was loved. Tim’s legacy of compassion, love, and joy will live on in all who knew him.
I am aware that you all will have countless questions, but this is all the information I have to share right now. I would love for everyone to respect his loved ones’ time to grieve in privacy. Thank you.
Rest peacefully, my love. There will never be another one like you.
It seems likely that the post has been published by Tim’s partner, Grobes Geraet.
Who was Tim Kruger?
His government name was Marcel Bonn, but the world knew him as Tim Kruger.
Originally from Germany, Tim grew up in Dusseldorf but based himself in Barcelona.
He got his start in the adult entertainment industry filming with studios such as Hot House Entertainment, Raging Stallion Studios, Lucas Entertainment, and Cazzo Film.
But it was Timtales studio that established Tim Kruger as a powerhouse in the world of porn. Tim launched the Timtales studio production company in 2009, with his partner, Grobes Geraet.
Initially, most of the Timtales content centred around Tim. But over time, as the brand grew, Tim was increasingly behind the camera and Timtales scenes featured performers from around the world – particularly European guys looking to build a career in the industry.
Most of the scenes for Timtales were filmed in Barcelona – primarily on Tim’s roof-top terrace, making the most of the sun.
The content created by Timtales was known for high production quality but also featuring guys with huge cocks relentlessly pounding eager bottoms.
It’s difficult to see how Timtales studio will continue without Tim at the helm, but as the world of adult entertainment pays their respect to Tim Kruger, let’s reflect on some of his most iconic scenes and some of the performers that he showcased on his Barcelona roof-top terrace.
Henrik Sommer
With his blond hair and thick glasses, Henrik was a popular bottom regularly featured in early Timtales scenes.
Henrik first filmed with Tim in April 2017.
Andy Star
Already an established performer, Andy Star first filmed with Timtales in June 2017.
Andy was a renowned power-bottom who was the perfect match for Tim’s thick cock.
Joaquin Santana
First filming with Timtales in November 2017, Joaquin was small and sexy and regularly getting worked over by groups of big-dicked dudes.
Alex Roman
London lad Alex Roman first shot with Timtales in May 2018. There’s a number of excellent compilation videos out there showing Alex being absolutely ruined by the biggest cocks in the business. That all began with his work on Timtales.
John Thomas
John Thomas began shooting with Timtales in December 2018. The scenes with Timtales really showcased John’s natural charisma and love of being dicked-down hard.
Rhyheim Shabazz
In April 2019, Rhyheim Shabazz made a visit to Barcelona to shoot several memorable scenes with Timtales.
Lee Dawson
Manchester lad Lee Dawson teamed up with Tim for a scene, filmed in November 2022.
Lee proved to be popular and was soon back for more.
The world of gay porn will miss Tim Kruger, but he has left us with a huge back catalogue of content that has helped to set the bar in terms of what excellence in gay porn looks like.
This is sad news. And, of course, best wishes to those who knew “Tim” best and who will most miss him.
Not wishing to sound morbid but it would have been even less likely for speculation if the “tragic, yet simple accident at home” had been described a bit more in detail.
Very sad and tragic. Sorry to hear the news. My heart and sympathy goes out to his partner, family, and close friends. RIP!
Such sad and very shocking news to hear about Tim’s passing away. I hope all his relatives and friends are doing as well as can be expected. So sudden!!! Sending you all my best wishes, and my deepest regrets for your loss of a great guy that you all loved. To Tim, thank you for all the very hot vids and especially the views off your hole as you are pounding a tight hole!!! You will be missed
I am so sorry to hear this, he was a wonderful person and represented our community well. A gurlfriend & I often referred to him as body beautiful. A well hung body beautiful.
R.I.P. Tim, I will always remember you fondly. You will never be forgotten and your content will live on. Rest well. ❤️
I’ll sure miss Tim Kruger. I’ve enjoyed seeing him from the first time I saw the very talented big man. He had a quality that drew me to him, almost as if I’d known him. May you Rest in Peace Sir.
Mike.
Most sincere condolences for Marcel’s friends, family and anyone else finding themselves blindside, shaken or devastated by this news, we’re not supposed to feel for porn stars, but why not, they’re just people with the same quirks, hopes, dreams, love, everything…well a little bit more.
There’s a line from Blade Runner that goes like, “the light that shines half as long, burns twice as bright” and it is so sad that this would be an apropos way to remember Tim. 44 years old. It’s so unfair, but nobody ever said life is that. Rest peacefully, beautiful and beautifully gifted guy, and thanks for sharing that incredible gift with us, more than you could possibly know.
