Marcel Bonn grew up in Düsseldorf, thought about becoming a cook, moved to Berlin instead. Got a job at a gay porn store. Watched every film on the shelf. Decided his size was his way in. First scene: Monster Bang 11 for Raging Stallion, 2006. Three years later he and his partner Grobes Geraet launched TimTales from their apartment — real sex, no scripts. It became one of the biggest gay porn sites in the world. Tim Kruger died on March 1, 2025, at forty-four. His partner called it a tragic accident at home.
