Khristofor Lawl Rossianov, professionally known as Chi Chi LaRue, was born in Chicago to a German-Catholic family with strong ties to Rochester and Minneapolis, Minnesota. He has two older brothers, one younger brother, and two older sisters.
LaRue's journey to self-acceptance began when he came out to his family at the age of 12, and to his school peers at 16. Unfortunately, this was met with ridicule and teasing, causing him to withdraw from social circles. To cope, he turned to fantasy, filling calendars with checkmarks for days when he was targeted for being gay.
As he grew older, LaRue found solace in his work as a diesel mechanic in Chicago and Minneapolis. However, he still faced discrimination from his blue-collar coworkers, which made him dread going to work every day.
It was during this time that LaRue met Joey Morgan, a friend in the industry who introduced him to Chi Chi LaRue, a renowned figure in the gay adult entertainment industry. LaRue's friendship with LaRue led to his debut in the industry, starring in Handjobs 3 (1993). This marked the beginning of his successful career, which spanned over two decades.
In 1996, LaRue retired from the industry after falling in love with Matthew Rush, another prominent figure in the gay adult film world. Although their relationship did not last, LaRue returned to the industry in 2004, this time with a more muscular physique.
When not working in the adult entertainment industry, LaRue is a personal trainer and bartender at The Faultline in Los Angeles. He is proud of his long-lasting career in the industry, knowing that most models have a much shorter shelf life. Throughout his career, LaRue has worked with numerous prominent studios, including Catalina, HIS Video, Mustang, Men of Odyssey, Hot House Entertainment, Colt Studios, Vivid Video, Falcon, Channel 1 Releasing, Metro, Hot Desert Knights, Massive Studio, and more.
LaRue is known for his unique features, including his body hair, deep growling voice, and explosive climaxes on film. He is also comfortable in both top and bottom roles, criticizing models who insist on being limited to one or the other.
