Carollina Cherry worked as the head waiter in a luxury hotel before she started performing in adult movies last January.
“I was an ordinary woman,” she says with a laugh. “But today, I’m still an ordinary woman!”
Now the French starlet has more than 20 scenes on her résumé and already has become a favorite of French producer Jacquie et Michel, which has shot her multiple times.
She started her adult industry journey shooting scenes with her boyfriend just for fun.
“Then the opportunity came, but I was recognized in the street, which was scaring me,” Cherry explains. “But with the benefit of hindsight, I transformed this fear into perversion. I was finally satisfied and I wanted to do it again! This exhibitionist side excites me!
“I got new shooting proposals; I was delighted to transform this hobby into a job.”
She says she enjoys working with the team at Jacquie et Michel, which first made contact with her through social media.
“It was very fast, I didn’t believe it. I’m happy to finally work with them,” Cherry tells AVN, adding that she likes acting in creative scenarios such as the content J&M produces.
“I also like the way they use to enhance women. The team I worked with succeeds in making me very comfortable.”
She says her top scene of 2019 came with seasoned French stud Dorian Del Isla—a 2020 nominee for AVN Male Foreign Performer of the Year—in the J&M movie Xperiences.
“The most natural and spontaneous,” Cherry says. “I also can say that Dorian is a beautiful man and it’s more noteworthy.”
Del Isla, a former paratrooper in the French Army who has been performing since 2016, tells AVN, “I think she need to shoot more for French productions because Carollina is the perfect, nice, shy and beautiful French girl that people want to see there!”
Cherry, who was born and raised in Lot-et-Garonne, a small village in the southwest of France, says she grew up in a conservative family “in a closed world.”
“Today it’s like a little revenge about the life I was predestined to live,” Cherry says.
“What I prefer in the exhibition, it’s to fully assume my sexual appetite so I am able to make the others enjoying it!”
Now a resident of a village near Aix-en-Provence, France, Cherry says she has moved around a lot. “I have the fidgets,” she jokes.
She shoots about two scenes a month and only when she wants.
“I’m replying to my desires,” Cherry says, noting that she when she is not working, “I’m a mother.”
“I enjoy every moment with them,” she adds. “I often go to walk, fishing or biking. I also spend time playing video games.”
She says her most underrated attribute is her feet.
“I love foot fetishists,” Cherry jokes.
Meanwhile, she surprises herself every day with how she has excelled in the porn business.
“Sex had always been an important part in my life and I can, with this job, fulfill all my desires,” Cherry continues. “I knew I had a big appetite but I didn’t think I was a glutton!”
She thanks her mother for teaching her how to be an independent thinker.
“I’m grateful towards my mother, who helped me become a free woman, making my own decisions,” Cherry adds. “She handed her anti-conformism down to me—her integrity. She taught me to not judge anyone.
“Unintentionally, she helped me to write my own story, even if she had different projects for me.”
When she considers the future, Cherry says, “I hope that this adventure won’t stop.
“I also would like to travel, to win more men’s or women’s hearts and to make beautiful meetings!”
