Bella Thorne{
The former Disney star has made her directorial debut for Pornhub, with a film called Her & Him, which, according to the press release, ‘depicts an edgy twenty-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.’
When she started to helm the project, Bella wanted to create a ‘Christmas horror movie’ - but she quickly changed her mind.
‘What inspired me to do this movie was thinking about this relationship between a male and a female and this fight over dominance and how much that relates to us in our general world, besides just a sexual scenario,’ she said.
‘My vision behind the story was basically creating these two dynamic characters that could switch off between dominant and submissive.
‘My initial idea was to create a Christmas horror movie, but instead I made a beautiful, ethereal film. I'm lucky that Pornhub came on and produced this with me. They believed in my vision and weren't scared to jump in with me.’
She added that she feels sorry for those uncomfortable with her career move, saying, ‘If you think that porn is uncomfortable, I’m sorry that you are uncomfortable, but don’t make other people feel uncomfortable for being okay with it.’
The film will be released on PornHub after screenings at the Odenburg Film Festival in Germany between September 11 and 15.
Bella released nude images of herself in June after a hacker stole them and threatened her with extortion.
