Everyone was watching ‘Euphoria’ at the start of the year – even if it was incredibly bad – and all of their stars literally became household names once again three or so years after the first series originally premiered, along with a bunch of new characters too.

One of these was former porn star Chloe Cherry, who played drug addict Faye across the second series after actually previously appearing in a porn parody of the show back in 2020. Cherry was appearing on the ‘Going Mental’ podcast this week and unsurprisingly talked about how doing porn was one of the worst experiences of her life:

The porn industry is so much more toxic when it comes to body image than the fashion industry.

I’ve been in both, and in the fashion industry people just allow bodies to be, and I see girls of many different body types on sets and I love it.

Whereas in porn there was literally one f***ing body you could have, porn was so strict. I don’t know why in fashion we understand that people like a lot of different kinds of bodies whereas in porn it’s still a certain way.

I think it is stuck there because I think all the people that run it are just old… It’s just like every other industry, it’s just run by a bunch of stupid old white men.

In amateur porn, which is viewed way more than professional porn, people have average bodies… but that sells way better than professional pornography; why don’t they take a tip from that and just have normal looking people in it?

When I was 18 living in Miami and breaking into the business we would live in a model house and there would be just the weirdest girls [there]… They just didn’t give a f***.

There was one girl, I remember all she would do is go on her phone and smoke cigarettes, it was all she would do.

People would come in with a weird idea of it, they would think it was so much money, like millions of dollars, and it’s not like that.

I don’t watch porn at all anymore because I literally don’t see it as anything other than a job.

All I look at is work when I see porn, just the technicality of the work behind it, so I don’t watch any porn at all, nothing is interesting to me… I don’t find anything arousing about it at all because I know that those people are working.

I guess I should thank her for sharing this, but none of this seems like anything that isn’t completely obvious at this point? And the way she described the one girls as a completely weirdo for smoking and playing on her phone – that doesn’t sound weird at all but how most people act these days anyway?

Essentially useless interview but I suppose I love the point about stupid old white men being in control and totally set in their ways and not moving on to what new people are interested in. Sounds like everything else in the world right now. Take note.
