Biography
Born in Mataró, Province of Barcelona, Spain, Vidal moved with his family to Valencia at a very young age, where part of his family originated.[2][3] His family was wealthy, but ended up losing all their money in the 1987 stock market crash. His nickname, Nacho, is the common nickname for Ignacio.[4]
At age 14, Vidal quit school to start working to help his family.[4] As a young teenager, he used to have a punk band. He also was a boxer[4] and enlisted in the Spanish Legion in Melilla.[4] Later, he started working at the age of 21 in the live porn club Bagdad of Barcelona, where he performed live sexual acts in front of an audience with his girlfriend "Jazmine".[4] There, he met the director of the Erotic Film Festival of Barcelona José María Ponce, who introduced him into the world of porn movies.[citation needed]
On May 31, 2005, Vidal announced his retirement from pornography and married Colombian model and porn star Franceska Jaimes.[5] They moved to a mansion previously owned by his family, located in the small town of Enguera, in Valencia, recovering it after his family's financial losses. He and his wife started a family there.[4][6] However, the couple divorced six weeks later,[6] and Vidal returned to porn only a few months after announcing his retirement. He also has a daughter from an earlier relationship with Venezuelan Rosa Castro.[7]
Vidal is a protégé of Rocco Siffredi, who brought him to Hollywood in 1998. In his prolific career he has starred in more than 1500 movies; he has also produced and/or directed many others (since 2000, this has included "she-male" and gay titles for the Evil Angel video company). Although self-stated as heterosexual,[5] he has directed some gay porn movies as a gift for the vast majority of his fans, who are gay males.[8] Vidal has further said that he is very open-minded, but is heterosexual in his personal life.[9]
Besides porn, Vidal has also starred in a few Spanish mainstream movies and TV shows, including the Spanish TV series Los Simuladores[10] and the Spanish movies Va a ser que nadie es perfecto[6] and El Alquimista Impaciente.[10]
