by EG
She used to be a Disney Channel star. Now she's a porn director. She once got a Teen Choice Award, and now she's taken home a directing award from PornHub. Bella Thorne's career is nothing if not interesting. Read on for details.
Bella Thorne has been honored a handful of times in her career. In 2015, she scored a Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Villain for her work in the teen comedy The Duff, her first and only surfboard prize out of seven nominations. The 21-year-old former Disney Channel star has also been feted with Young Artist and Young Hollywood awards from various voting groups, and now comes word that she's poised to take home another prize for her mantle.
Thorne has been selected to receive a Vision Award at the 2nd Annual Pornhub Awards Show, scheduled for Oct. 11 at the Orpheum Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles. Porn star and Pornhub brand ambassador Asa Akira is hosting the event where Ty Dolla $ign, Bad Bunny, Ian Isiah, Kali Uchis, Rico Nasty and Tommy Genesis are set to perform.
The news comes just weeks after the release of Thorne's directorial debut Her & Him, a film she made for the streaming platform, one of the leading pornography websites on the Internet. It stars adult entertainers Abella Danger and Small Hands and, per Pornhub, "depicts an edgy 20-something guy who stumbles upon a surprise text in his girlfriend's phone, interrupting their morning routine and spinning everything into an out-of-control sexually charged encounter." The company produced Her & Him under its Visionaries Director's Series, which features debuts from guest directors to help persify porn production.
"I'm excited for visions of beauty like this to be shed in a new light," Thorne said in a statement released with the today's news. "Breaking the taboo of what's classified as beautiful has always been a vision of mine and it brings me such joy to see this being recognized for what it truly is...beautiful visionary art."
