Rule, Britannia! Jasmine Jae on Her AVN Award Win

UNITED KINGDOM—Jasmine Jae’s 2018 AVN Award was the one she craved. “I am absolutely thrilled to be the first British performer to win Female Foreign Performer of the Year,” she said in an email from England. “That is the award I always wanted on my mantelpiece. I am truly honored and humbled to win it.” The busty (37E) adult performer, known for the way she throws herself into sex scenes—especially group encounters—began her porn career in April 2012. “I was working full time in an office job as a marketing manager and secretly filming on weekends and evenings. It took six months for someone in the office to spot me on the internet, and the company wasn’t too thrilled, as you can expect. I resigned before they could sack me and became a full-time adult performer.” It was a chance meeting with veteran porn stud and fellow Brit Keiran Lee that did the trick. “I’ve always been a sexual woman and the thought of becoming a performer excited me. Keiran arranged my first shoot with him for Brazzers and I remember on the day feeling so comfortable, like I’d been performing for years. It really came very naturally to me. “The next job and the next job came up and before I knew it, I was filming regularly every week after my office job finished. Once the company I worked for discovered my secret life and I was forced to quit, I decided to give the adult industry everything I had, and I haven’t looked back since.” That scene with Lee was shot in her hometown, Birmingham, in the United Kingdom. Since then she has worked continuously both in Europe and America. “The U.K. industry is incredibly small with very little ongoing production. I actually film very little in the U.K. and head over to Budapest, Prague and Barcelona for the majority of my European films. However, the U.S. will always be my favorite place to film due to the large talent pool and number of top companies that are based there.” According to IMBD Jasmine has well over 200 titles to her credit, mostly all-sex and gonzo but also features, such as the AVN Award–nominated foreign productions Blown Away and Outland 2, in which her acting was praised. Out of all those scenes she chooses two as her favorites. “I think it’s a toss-up between my first double anal gangbang and the bukkake scene I did for my Jonni Darkko Evil Angel showcase Jasmine Jae: No Holes Barred. Jonni always brings out the best in me and his scenes are some of the best I’ve done. I like that he lets me get as crazy as I want and his creative eye always makes me look and feel sexy, empowered and beautiful.” Offscreen she’s pretty much a homebody. “I have a 10 month-old French bulldog puppy so I tend to spend my days off taking her on hikes in the English countryside and hills. It’s a perfect way to clear the mind and soothe the soul. Other than that I spend time with my family, whom I’m very close with, and my small circle of best friends. My schedule is hectic but I make a point of spending quality time with them when I’m home.” Still, she admits, she does love to see the world. “I travel a lot for work but find myself going back to the same cities a lot and would love to head east to Asia and Australia and travel around backpack style and just explore.” Her porn future, she says, will give her fans plenty to look forward to. “I’m working on a number of exciting spinoff projects in the pipeline that I can’t disclose too much about at this stage, so all I can say is stay tuned!”
