LOS ANGELES—Sapphire Astrea tells AVN that she got the feeling on Day 1 that she was going to do well in adult entertainment. “My first scene was for BangBros and I felt super comfortable,” Astrea says. “At that moment I realized that I was going to love my work.” Now more than 50 scenes later, the Spanish bombshell has earned a reputation as a must-see performer with the potential to become a major star. “I like everything about my work at the moment they say action,” says Astrea, who is from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria—one of Spain’s Canary Islands. Sapphire’s sultry looks caught the attention of Czech producing tandem Little Caprice and Marcello Bravo, who shot her for LitttleCaprice-Dreams.com in a scene called “I’m Your Nympho.” Astrea took on Jesus Reyes for the oiled-up encounter for their Xpervo series. “I really liked working for them,” Astrea says. “It is a production company that I like their style. I knew them through social networks. “It was a very hot and passionate scene. The best part was when we used the Nuru gel—the two bodies full of that gel seemed very sensual to me.” “Her Xpervo scene was super hot,” Little Caprice tells AVN. “We give her a scenario with a lot of oil games because her body and oil is a must. The scene we call ‘I’m Your Nympho’ because she never get enough, it doesn’t matter how long is the scene.” The three-time AVN International Performer of the Year Little Caprice says that her research shows her website members like “big butts and boobs,” and Sapphire fit the description to a tee. “Sapphire was the right person; she looks still natural and have these strong parts of her body that our members love,” Caprice adds. “She is just on the beginning [of her career] and yes like for all talents, all doors are open. She must just keep going, shoot for the right productions and give her best because with her amazing body she is special.” Astrea, who had a job cleaning a hospital prior to adult, launched her career in June 2021 after meeting someone who was her former manager. She says her personality is reserved when she’s off the set—she loves being at home, shopping, spending time with family and gastronomy. “I am a quiet, calm girl, very simple at home but very presumptuous,” Sapphire explains. “But then with sex I become very hot, active. I adore sex.” Sapphire was formerly known by a different last name. “This matter is in the hands of the courts at the moment, but I would like to give some very important advice to the girls who want to enter this industry: you do not need anyone's last name to be successful,” she says. “Maybe those people do need you to be someone. Do not sign abusive and illegal contracts with managers; do not fall into the same mistake that many of us have made.” Sapphire says she wants to go "very far" in this industry. “It would be my dream," she says. "This 2023 will be a great year, I know." Photography by Marcello Bravo
