Euphoria star Chloe Cherry has spoken candidly about her time in the porn industry, revealing the incredibly toxic effect it had on her body image. 

Cherry, 25, spent time working as an adult film actress in Miami and was approached by Euphoria’s casting team on Instagram, eventually bagging the role of Faye in season two. 

Speaking to Eileen Kelly last month for Kelly’s Going Mental podcast, Cherry opened up about her pre-Euphoria days, admitting there’s not much body positivity on porn sets.

“The porn industry is so much more toxic when it comes to body image than the fashion industry,” Cherry began.

“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.”

Cherry added: “I don’t know why in fashion we understand that people like a lot of different kinds of bodies, but in porn it’s still a certain way.”

The HBO star also noted: “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?”

Elsewhere in the podcast, Cherry admitted she might not have sought work as a pornstar if it wasn’t for her dad’s death when she was just seven years old.

She shared: “When I was seven, my dad was diagnosed with cancer, and then a year later he died.

Cherry went on: “I always thought that if my dad lived that I would have just been normal. I would have just gone to college like a normal f***ing person and done just some random stupid job and have been some stupid normal person. 

“Like, I wouldn’t be doing all this if my dad was still around. I wouldn’t be Chloe Cherry if my dad was still around.

“I feel like a lot of people who lose a parent around that age, around 10 or so, before you’re an adult at all, it’s really an interesting experience. It’s crazy how that really just messes with your world.”
