Early life

Career

Bonn/Kruger worked at a pornography store in Berlin, where he became interested in performing in adult films. He sent emails and photos to studios and was subsequently contacted for roles. In 2006, Kruger began his career in the adult film industry. He appeared in productions for various studios, including Cazzo Film, Hot House, and Raging Stallion Studios. He acted in films such as DeskTops, Pizza Cazzone, Tim's Tool, Wood Work, Hot House Backroom, Vol. 10, and The Deep End.
In 2009, Kruger started his website, TimTales, in collaboration with his partner, who served as the cameraman and occasional onscreen participant. The website included amateur-style gay pornography with a focus on authenticity. Kruger stated that the site's content was based on personal preferences rather than scripted performances. He also continued to work for external studios while maintaining the website.''''

Personal life and death

Kruger was in a long-term relationship with his partner, Grobes Geraet, who assisted with the production and editing of his videos. He described himself as more reserved in his personal life compared to his on-camera persona. Kruger died on 1 March 2025, at the age of 44, following an accident at his home in Mallorca. A statement attributed to his partner stated that the accident was not related to drugs, foul play or suicide.
