Have you wondered what happens to the porn stars after they stop making movies or when they try to gain success in some field of art?
Well, while some of them go back their previous professions, the others try their luck at becoming even more famous. The second ones, however, are far more intriguing for some further analysis.
Basically, their main goal is to use the fame in the movies for adults in gaining the same or even larger popularity and become established movie stars. Here are ten most famous porn stars, whose career crossover will amaze you.
Pretty Woman
When it comes to the female porn stars who decided to change the stream of their career, probably the most famous one is Sasha Grey. Her first name is derived from the name of the frontman of the band KMFDM, Sascha Konietzko, and the second name from the protagonist in Oscar Wilde’s Picture of Dorian Grey.
She plays in a band and loves reading. She is one of those porn stars that decided to leave their profession at the peak of the popularity, which has certainly proved as a good idea, since her movie, The Girlfriend Experience, received a lot of positive reviews.
Another perfect example of a career crossover is Jenna Jameson, who is certainly one of the most popular porn actresses of all time. However, her attempts of breakthrough in the mainstream movie industry resulted in a failure. Well, maybe the sole fact that she played several main roles was enough for her.
If you are a fan of the TV series The Game of Thrones, then you are certainly familiar with the name Sibel Kekilli. Our sweet, graceful Shae has certainly left numerous films in the porn industry. However, it is up to you to decide which career suits her best.
A French actress, Karen Lancaume, who appeared in many hardcore porn movies, gained a considerable popularity in her debut non-porn movie Baise Moi. Unfortunately, she committed a suicide before she could prove herself as a talented actress.
A Taiwanese actress Shu Qi, known for the main female role in the movie The Transporter, also began as a soft core porn actress. Anyhow, today, she is a renowned actress in mainstream movies.
Is it Dean or Deen?
Oh my God, that’s Sylvester Stallone in a porn movie!
Well, he needed to somehow make ends meet in the beginning, but today he is one of the most famous mainstream actors of his generation. Well, this fact certainly refutes the statement that the female porn stars are more famous than the male ones!
Moreover, Rocco Siffredi, also known as an Italian stallion, is one of the most successful porn actors. However, he debuted in the drama Romance, in which he plays a gay man who becomes sexually involved with a woman. This movie became extremely controversial, since the sex scenes were unsimulated.
Ron Jeremy is another example of the successful career crossover. He has always been quite authentic thanks to his moustache. He managed to achieve a great popularity in many mainstream movies such as Ghost Busters. But, ironically, in most movies, he appeared as himself!
If you ever decide to look up some facts about James Dean, try to type the name correctly because a single letter differentiates him and a porn star Bryan Matthew Sevilla, better known as James Deen. Apart from being famous in a porn industry, he has also co-starred in the mainstream movie The Canyons.
Lexington Steele also has a considerable porn career, but he also appeared in a black comedy Crank: High Voltage, where he proved himself as a quite good actor.
All in all, these people have certainly managed to gain success at something that is not their primary occupation. Even if you are not a fan of porn industry, you have to admit that their attempts are worth attention.
