As a teen, he worked as a pizza delivery man, although he did not particularly enjoy pizza. On his venture into pornography, Mills revealed that he always had it in mind to pursue a career in the gay porn industry, and he knew he would do so once he reached the age of 18. Four days after his 18th birthday, he took a trip to Florida in pursuit of his endeavours.
He is well-liked by many in the LGBTQ+ community and his openness about his sexuality helped him build a strong and supportive fan following.
Regarding his physical measurements, Mills stands at approximately 1.75 meters tall, which is equivalent to around 5 feet 9 inches. His weight was reported to be approximately 54 kilogrammes, which is approximately 119 pounds.
Joey Mills career
Upon turning 18, he ventured into the world of gay pornographic production and quickly rose to fame for his engaging performances. Notably, he became associated with Helix Studios, a renowned production company which specialises in gay youth pornography. He has appeared in over a dozen of the company’s productions.
Mills garnered recognition and popularity and continues to earn accolades for his work. He achieved significant rankings in online searches for gay porn actors, landing 32nd in 2017 and 23rd in 2018 on the list by Str8UpGayPorn.
In the summer of 2019, Mills signed an exclusive contract with Men.com, further expanding his reach in the industry.
Aside from his on-screen appearances, Mills co-authored the book “Electric Soul”, which was published by Helix Studios in 2019. When asked about his initial reaction to collaborating with Taylor Saracen on the book, which is described as his coming-of-age story, Mills stated that being approached to be part of the book series on adult film stars by 13 Red was unexpected but noted that he was thrilled to seize the opportunity.
Despite the excitement, Mills admitted to having reservations about sharing such a personal side of himself with the world. Concerns about potential damage to his career weighed on his mind. However, he chose authenticity over concealing the truth, believing that people would connect more with his genuine narrative.
As he worked on the book, the process became a form of therapy for Joey. Reflecting on his life and the various factors that shaped him allowed him to understand better the person he has become today.
Mills emphasised that “Electric Soul” is not a how-to guide for aspiring porn actors. Instead, it is his coming out story, intended for young adult readers. He hoped that those who have grappled with their sexuality or struggled to share aspects of themselves with others would find a sense of connection in his narrative. He particularly wants to reach out to LGBTQ+ teens who might be feeling lost, just as he did at one point.
Additionally, Mills noted that he is interested in real estate and looks forward to indulging in the business of flipping houses in the future.
In 2020, Mills went on a Twitter rant, calling for all fellow performers to demand at least $1,000 per scene. This came to light after fellow performer Armond Rizzo raised concerns about the pay disparity between tops and bottoms in the adult film industry.
