It’s a real shocker when friends or family find out they know an adult film star.
Below are 29 of the best stories of just that. Check them out!
1. That escalated quickly.
Knew a guy in college, wouldn’t say we were friends but we went to a lot of the same parties and were always cool with each other.
One night, he got a little drunk and started talking about how he did porn. We all get curious and start asking questions. He said he started off by doing some nude modelling, then they had another guy come out and had them make out. They then offered him a couple grand to actually go down on each other and then even more have sex. Now the thing was, this dude hooked up with a lot of hot chicks. Would have never guessed he did gay porn. I was really kinda shocked and that guy definitely had a rep after that.

2. You can IMDb that?
My friend made porn films. Didn’t have a problem with it. After a few years, he switched to filming weddings.
Problem was he called himself an experienced cinematographer and his porn films are listed on his IMDB page. Not sure that’s a good idea.

3. Sad story 🙁
She was fun as hell and we’d always do spontaneous shit like go hiking at 5am after staying up the whole night drinking, or go on spontaneous road trips. It was always an adventure with her and we got along so well by our passion for adventure and creating memories and stories for our future. We loved each other, liked to cuddle and kiss but never sex. We had a very strange relationship but it was awesome.
Unfortunately she ended up using…

Heroin and meth and became a totally different person so I stopped hanging out with her. A year later I saw the porno. It creeped me out. She was obviously doped up as hell and watching the porno was just disturbing.

4. Mostly boring.
Went to high school with a girl that became a playmate. There were rumors of topless photos of her going around. When I found out I looked up the pictures. Pretty much exactly what I expected. Saw her at a gas station not too long ago. Said hey. As per usual, life remains mostly boring.

5. A sense of closure
Had a crush on a cute girl in high school. I was socially awkward to the point I didn’t talk to her. Just admired from a distance.
Some people always wonder about the past. Well, for $20 I could watch a video of her playing with her butt. I’m more than comfortable saying my curiosity is satisfied; I have a sense of closure many don’t achieve with early crushes.

6. Too much.
My dad’s (52) half-sister (23) has been in the industry since she was 18. She is not shy about it. She uses screencaps of herself for her Facebook profile/cover photos, and would frequently post links. After she added me, I quickly discovered why no one else wanted to have her added.
I was shocked about her…

Over-sharing of it, more than anything. This is my aunty who is only a year older than myself. We grew up together, then years after our separation she adds me on Facebook then expects me to not be surprised about the photos and videos she posts of herself to her family and friends.

7. Lackluster at best.
A male friend of mine played a part in a porno once. It was pretty bad and he did it for kicks and the money. It was just him and a chick, chick was very pretty and everything about it was really bad. Wouldn’t watch it again.

8. Born to be a star.
This gal was my first “girlfriend” (we dated for like a week in early high school and I’m pretty sure we were never exclusive, but whatever.)
I told her she looked like she should do porn and she was GENUINELY flattered.
She also had “DTF” tattooed across her hip.
Basically, everyone knew it was coming and no one was surprised by what kind of porn she went into.

9. That would do it
I have a friend who got into porn for a while, mostly solo stuff. At a party he shared with several of us that he had been doing porn for a while and showed us. It was weird. Even so, a little too much butt-play for my taste. It definitely played a big part in his…

Breakup with his long-time girlfriend.

10. Good turnaround.
I was attending a religious school at the time, and my best friend had recently dropped out. Well one day at the mall, my boyfriend and I were talking about how much money is in porn when my friend tells me that porn is how she paid for her freshman year of college. I didn’t judge her – the thought has crossed my mind more than once – but when she was talking about it I saw the pain in her eyes. She was a lot more messed up than I ever realized.
It’s been a few years but she’s in a great, healthy relationship with a guy I’ve known since high school. She’s also very active in her religion now too. It makes me happy to know that her life didn’t go completely downhill like some of the individuals in those stories.

11. Would that even work?
My Uncle is an award winning porn star.. I didn’t find this out until I was about 16, and he started his career pre-Internet although he continues to work today.
I rarely see him now but it’s an hilarious conversation changer and if I get drunk and am hitting on a girl I might occasionally “let it slip” so I can say that the skill “runs in the family”

12. Dang…
Not my story, but a friend of mine went to a family event on his wifes side of the family and one of her sisters shows up with a date. This guy was a very famous porn star from the 80s-90s. All the men recognized him. All the women were clueless. All them men told their wives on the drive home. they all told the sister. She took a lot of convincing before they…

They finally broke up. All the women were confused about why it took so long for her to break up with him. All the men had a theory.

13. Boom. Roasted.
We weren’t friends but I went to school with The Porn Twins. Imagine the most beautiful woman you can and then imagine making a clone of her.
It’s the opposite of that.

14. Not too cool.
Actually know two girls that did porn. Was not surprised about either of them.
One of them was pissed her boyfriend dumped her because of it though.

15. Revenge maybe?
A girl I went to high school with started doing porn. The kicker is that she used another one of our classmate’s real name as her porn name. There was a court case for defamation or something.

16. Stacks on stacks.
Two girls from my high school went on to do porn. One is about 4-5years younger than me (I’m 26 now) and the other is the same age and was in study hall with me. Both the porn and the girls were crappy, except one of the girls wore a contraption called the “monkey bars” basically a weightlifting belt with two handlebar grips which I thought was innovative.
Best part is, monkey bars girl had been posting lots of expensive handbags and pictures of stacks of money on Facebook. Her ex boyfriend was and continues to be pissed that he never got to use the monkey bars.

17. The casual roommate.
A couple years ago my buddy sublet his room to girl who, 1 year later, I found out was a porn star haha. That summer we hung out all the time so it was pretty funny when I ran into her at a bar the next summer and after she left my friend was like “how do you know so-and-so??” and proceeded to show me some of her videos.

18. For the money.
I found out 2 years ago, the shy introverted geek girl from my high school, the nicest girl you’ll ever meet is in a hardcore porn video. I see on her social media that she’s in college aiming to be a nurse. Poor girl must’ve done it for the money.

19. Good on her.
I was in Girl Scouts with Riley Reid, and we were friends in high school. We were all pretty surprised/impressed when we found out. My friends and I all lost touch with her sometime in 10th grade, years before she got into porn, so I wouldn’t have considered her a friend at that point.
It is weird when she pops up and I’m not expecting it, like on those late night “we are 18” commercials, and she was mentioned once on Workaholics.
She was always such a nice, down to earth person and I guess she’s doing well for herself, so good for her.

20. Oh heavens…
Not quite the same, but before I switched to romance I used to write erotica for a living: the real raunchy kind of stuff that you read with one hand in your pants. My friends knew about it and pestered and pestered me for my pen name. Eventually I ended up getting drunk on peach schnapps and…

Told a couple of them, and the next day I saw several local purchases in the Amazon store that must have been them.
Not one of them has ever mentioned my job since. It might be that they didn’t like it and were trying to be polite, but I’m choosing to believe that a couple of them learned some fetishy things about themselves that day.

21. Money money money.
I know someone who worked in the film production for a major porn company thats still around today.
Tidbits from what I was told:
-They told me that majority of them are doing it for the $$$$ to get through school. They make A LOT in a very short time depending on how active they are.
-The freakier the scene is the more they get paid
-Cam shows is where they make the most money.
The person I know quit their job in the industry because it was too demanding, post production took over 12+ hours a day just to finish editing to meet deadlines.

22. So unfortunate.
A really unpopular girl who unfortunately was horribly bullied a lot got into porn directly after high school. She changed dramatically from very vanilla and plain to dyed hair, piercings and tattoos all over.
I felt really bad when I heard that, because when we we’re young she was really smart and goal driven despite not really having a good life or a lot of friends. I sort of looked up to her from afar, even though she was an underclassmen and we didn’t speak much. In my opinion it was very brave for her to face those people everyday who were trying to bring her down. Looking back I wish I had done more. There was a couple times in the locker room I got people off her back, but that was nothing in comparison to what she went though everyday.
The industry also got her into hard drugs but I just saw recently on Facebook that she’s going to be leaving for rehab in Florida soon.

23. Quite the story.
My First Highschool crush became a porn ‘Actress’ (even by porn acting standards I’m using that term loosely).
Halfway through highschool, she moved away and transferred to a different school. Through a mutual friend, we reconnected at a party at my college. After she moved away, she dropped out of school, became a stripper, started doing drugs, dated her drug dealer, became an escort, then got into porn.
The most shocking part for me was how she was bizarrely upfront about all of this. It was even more shocking when one time while on a bar crawl with some friends we drunkenly decided to go into an adult shop and I saw her on the cover of a porn DVD.

24. Not worth.
I went to high school with a girl that got into the business. She was a looker, the content was less than satisfying. I was disappointed to say the least.

25. Odd way of revenge.
Not exactly the same, but I once found a couple videos of myself and an ex on one of those amateur submit your own sites. Apparently a guy she was seeing found them on her computer, got pissed, and uploaded them.

26. That would do it, yup.
Mia Khalifa went to the high school 3 miles from me. They now have the best rep in the county.

27. ‘Go for it’
I used to work with this guy, early 20’s, real pretty boy, spent all his free time at the gym. He was always bragging about chicks he banged. And claiming it was only a matter of time before he hooked up with the wholesome super hottie of the office.
One day he tells me that someone contacted him on the internet and offered to fly him out to California and pay him $5,000 to jerk off on camera. That was pretty awkward but whatever. I told him to go for it
He takes a few days off work and goes to California. When he comes back I asked him how it went. He laughed and said he was just kidding. He would never do that. Whatever. Didn’t make a difference to me one way or the other.
A few months later, the resident gay guy of the office comes running in and excitedly tells everyone to gather around. He pulls a DVD out of his man purse that has this guy getting fucked in the ass on the cover.
So then the guy comes over to see what everyone is screaming and laughing about and sees himself getting stuffed. And wholesome super hottie with a look of absolute disgust on her face. He turned around and walked out the door never to return again. He deleted all his social media accounts too.

28. Whoa. That’s a lot.
When I was in the army I had reclassed from infantry to UAV. While at training all the other prior service were sitting around talking in the day room while we were waiting on all the AIT students to finish formation. A couple of guys were talking shit and saying what there porn name would be. This one dude who was a douche “accidentally” slipped he had done porn and what his name was. One of the other guys did a quick google search and found him in a bisexual porn. He was eating this big chick out while getting railed by a dude. We all lost it in the room and never let him hear the end of it.

29. She’s cool.
My sister acted in mainstream TV and movies. She also was the first playmate to do the centerfold and cover on the same issue. She did Playboy when I was a freshman in high school. Constantly getting teased from guys saying “I jerked it to your sister last night” or “Have you seen your sister’s tits?”. Didn’t bother me much. My sister is cool, and about as good of a big sister as I could ask for so I was supportive of whatever she did to advance her career. The members of our church, though… not so much.
