Former Disney star Bella Thorne received an award for her work as a director on her first pornographic film “Her & Him”.

Thorne won the Vision Award during the second annual Pornhub Awards event last Friday, Oct. 11 at the Orpheum Theatre, Los Angeles in the United States.

“Her & Him” follows a couple’s “out-of-control sexually charged encounter,” and was created under the Pornhub Visionaries Director’s Club this year.

Adult film actors Abella Danger and Small Hands star in the film alongside Thorne’s ex-boyfriend rapper Mod Sun. It first premiered at the Oldenburg Film Festival in Germany last month.

Corey Price, vice president of Pornhub, described the project as a “modernistic, sexually explicit” story reminiscent of “Romeo and Juliet” in a statement on the site last August. 

Thorne took to Instagram yesterday to announce a new collaboration with Pornhub and to express her gratitude for the reward.

“I’m so excited to announce I am working with Pornhub to implement a change in their flagging system algorithm to ensure safety for everyone and everyone in our community,” she said.

“I am so grateful and honored to receive this award and be recognized for literally just doing what [I] love… creating beautiful visions of art,” she added.

In a previous interview with Pornhub, Thorne described the process of directing the film as “quite interesting” since she had never shot a real-life sexual encounter before.

She said, “People are kind of scared to make a movie like this one—when it comes to dominance and submissive[ness] between a male and a female and how this relationship can turn quite sour.” NVG
