According to him, he became a fan favorite.[7][8] During the COVID-19 pandemic, he decided to do porn after his agent got him a deal.[9] He was contacted by local pornographic studios initially; but when Men.com offered an exclusive contract, he decided to do it[5]— and in 2020 became the "New Face of Men.com".[10][11]
In February 2021, Delgaty starred in an ad campaign for Dsquared2's Stripped2 underwear collection, in which he played a stripper.[12] He appeared on the cover of DNA for their annual "Sexiest Men Alive" issue in August 2021.[13][14]
