It turns out Little Caprice is big in southeast Asia.
The AVN Award-winning star from the Czech Republic remembers being recognized on vacation while strolling through a local market—in Thailand.
"It happened a lot to me—like literally anywhere in the world,” Caprice says with a laugh. “Mostly airports, but even in Thailand there was a guy who knew me. I do respond positively and always give an autograph or selfie, or talk a few words if the fans are nice and respectful to me.
“It makes me happy to meet my fans.”
The 2020 AVN Foreign Female Performer of the Year says this year is about embracing the “next chapter” of her life both on and off camera. She and her husband and business partner, Marcello Bravo, at press time revealed they are building their first house, while her official website, LittleCaprice-Dreams.com, is thriving with more than 3000 active members.
Twelve years after her debut as an erotic model, business has never been better for the former waitress from Brno, Czech Republic, who studied nutrition before launching her adult entertainment career.
“2021 is going really great for me,” Caprice tells AVN from her home in Vienna, Austria, about 85 miles south of Brno. “It began with the amazing AVN Awards Show stream, and I won an award for the Best Foreign-Shot All-Girl Sex Scene [with Liya Silver] and my production is still growing and blooming.
“We did create such an amazing content already, and much more to come… and my private life is good as well. So all in one, 2021 is a really good year.”
Indeed, Caprice and Marcello recently returned from a mini-vacation in the Austrian Alps before heading to Ibiza, Spain—their favorite summer destination.
What the ambitious duo creates for LittleCaprice-Dreams.com—which they launched in 2016—without question makes them one of Europe’s leading boutique production companies. It’s that indie mindset that makes their success that much more gratifying. After all, she says the most challenging part of her career has been building her website from the ground up without the help of a large network or studio behind her.
“This was a huge step I did,” Caprice says. “It was risky and to learn how this all works was not easy at all. We invest a lot of money and time, and we didn’t know if this will work how we want… But even it was scary, I did go out of my comfort zone, shooting for all productions and get money for it and that’s it. I took the money I make and invest them, and it was the best decision in my life.”
Marcello agrees.
“We fit perfect together because we trust each other,” Bravo tells AVN. “We help each other, we never cheat each other and we let us free space we need. We talk about everything and we never force each other to do something what the other person wants.
“It’s always our own decision and we have no problem with our work (sex with other people) because we show each other that nobody can break our relationship.”
Their bond started in October 2012, when they met at the Venus Berlin Show in Germany. Caprice was at the expo signing autographs, while Marcello attended as part of a male stripper revue that was performing there.
“Caprice work next to our private stage where just girls can enter,” Bravo recalls. “When I walk around the expo and I saw her first time and of course I thought she is a pretty girl, but you know for me was normal to meet many girls every week at my job.
“I didn’t know that she is so famous. Honestly, I always don’t care what somebody is or not. Famous, rich or just a normal person, I’m always friendly to everybody.”
Bravo continues, “Back to the story how we met. The female porn stars came always in our ladies’ area because this was the only place where they can drink a cocktail or relax from the many male visitors. You know as a porn star on the expo everybody wanna get autographs and wanna talk and the girls can’t really relax.
“So I was on stage and did a strip show and I saw that Caprice enter the ladies’ area. I jump down and took her on stage—on the chair—and strip for her. She was very shy and get red in her face, so sweet. … During the show I say something in her ear what actually nobody says to her…
“You know everybody told her before ‘you are so pretty’ or ‘you have nice eyes,’ but I say to her, ‘I would like to fuck you.’”
Caprice reacted with shock.
“And the other side was nobody before told her that directly,” Bravo adds. “Guys talking always a lot but nobody was so directly like me. Of course she don’t let me fuck her. In the end I wait almost one-and-a-half months.
“On the expo we kiss a bit, go to some after-party and thought both that we don’t see [each other] again. But we keep contact every day via messages and I visit her many times in Brno. So we came together and after six months around we decide to try it out and move together to Vienna—almost 10 years ago.”
More than a decade later, Marcello calls his wife “a superwoman.”
“She have everything what a star should have,” Bravo says. “She is clever, beautiful, give always 110 percent, talk never bad about others, and knows exactly what she want.
“She work every day hard on her body to keep in shape and oh my god, look at her how she looks now.
“It’s amazing what she build in the last 12 years. There are not many girls in the industry who be on top over 12 years. In our business girls come and go but she is still one of the best. I really respect all she did and how hard she works for a so long time.”
Little Caprice began making a name for herself in the early 2010s, cultivating her fanbase with multiple appearances on sites such as X-Art, Met-Art, Sex-Art, WowGirls, Marc Dorcel, Femjoy, Joymii and Nubiles. In addition, she has appeared in multiple editions of Playboy, Penthouse, Maxim and Hustler, among other publications.
A Vixen Angel in February 2019—who to date remains the only European performer to receive the honor since it started in August 2016—Little Caprice has established herself as one of the top adult models in the world.
Now in addition to performing in select projects for other companies and shooting content for her OnlyFans, both Little Caprice and Marcello Bravo share the same passion for all things LittleCaprice-Dreams.com, which features 11 exclusive series and more than 100 different models.
Marcello not only performs in scenes—he’s long been a proven A-list stud—he also co-produces with Caprice, directs and edits.
He traveled the world as a professional dancer and acrobat prior to starting his porn career. The couple's debut scene together was for X-Art.com, where they performed as an exclusive couple for more than four years.
“We basically work every day,” Caprice says. “Depend on what is going on there, but there is no day off, even on vacation. I don’t mean only photoshoots, I mean the all work around, such as marketing, webmasters, updates, talking to the members… There is always a lot to do, which is great! But even we still work a lot, we try to keep it balanced and take always a free time for ourselves.”
Caprice says that it’s hard to describe what the success of her website means to her.
“It means so much for me!” she says. “We fight a lot at the beginning, we even wanted to give up few times… To see how good we are doing, how many scenes got nominated last year! This is so warming and nice and of course, the feedback from our members is the best fuel for us to move forward.
“Knowing that it all make sense, the hard job is paying off! We can now be really creative and we are basically where we wanted to be five years ago. It’s great.”
Now that Caprice and Marcello understand what it takes to produce high-end content on a consistent basis, this year they plan to increase their output and production value.
She says maintaining a steady dialogue with her members about what they like and what they want to see more of has been instrumental in their growth.
“Our business model is bringing a lot of variations, so the subscribers don’t get bored,” Little Caprice says, likening their vision for the site to a dreamy version of “Netflix.”
“So everyone can find what they are in a mood for at the moment. This is very important, and we always try to shoot our models in a way that suits them most.”
She reveals her favorite series is the swinger-themed WeCumToYou with Xpervo—“sweet girls who want to get punished”—ranking close behind it.
“Those scenes are my personal favorites,” Caprice admits. “Also Nasstyx (couples, threesomes & anal) is very, very popular. And of course, the Caprice Divas!”
Caprice says throughout all the stages of her career so far she has learned the importance of “being myself.”
“Don’t do everything only for money or fame, because in this case you can’t handle this for so many years,” she says.
“I always carefully choose anyone to do business with. I also learned to be more strong because here in this industry are many people who want to push you down, and who don’t care about you at all. This is very important for every new girl to know. And don’t let anyone take anything from you!”
She says her 2020 Foreign Female Performer of the Year award “still brings tears in my eyes.”
“All my career is very rewarding for me,” Caprice says. “I’m always trying to take the best from everything I do. It is also very important for me to going forward and have some achievements. I don’t want any stagnation and always something to fight for.”
The personable star says making the July 2021 AVN cover marks another proud achievement.
“I’m so honored and happy for this chance I got!” Caprice says. “AVN Awards is for me the top valuation what in this industry is. The porn Oscars, so to be on a cover from an AVN magazine is so special! Especially when I’m not American! So, I really appreciate this chance and I’m super happy.”
When she isn’t working, Caprice reveals she loves to read books and cook.
"Cooking is my big passion,” she says, “I love to do sport—yoga—also having fun with Marcello, travel around, be with my family and my cats really fulfill me.”
