When covering his many celebrity-studded deals, we usually leave out the part about Swedish superbroker Fredrik Eklund's past as a gay porn star (even if smart-alecky Curbed commenters don't), but the Times has made it the focal point of a feature on the CORE Group broker. Why make the porn thing such common knowledge? Because Eklund is slated to be part of Bravo's NYC edition of Million Dollar Listing, so it was just a matter of time before he got, er, outed. Subplot: CORE already has Selling New York on the airwaves, which might mean Eklund (or "Tag Eriksson" to his fans) is jumping ship. UPDATE: A tipster reports that it's not only Eklund leaving the firm for Bravo stardom, but also broker John Gomes. [NYT]
