Former Disney star Bella Thorne is set to make her directorial debut for none other than adult video site Pornhub.
Her pornographic film, entitled Her & Him, is inspired by Romeo & Juliet. It tells the story of two star-crossed lovers in a BDSM relationship.
Speaking about the film, the 21-year-old actress said: “What inspired me to make the movie was basically 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 in a sexual scenario.”
Bella Thorne discusses the challenges of directing a porn movie
In the behind-the-scenes promo video, Thorne says she initially wanted to create a “Christmas horror movie,” but later changed her mind.
“Sometimes you go into thinking you want something specific and you totally change your mind and you don’t go with that idea at all,” she said.

The Midnight Sun actress also spoke about the unique experience of filming on a porn set.
“The process of shooting was quite interesting because we had real-life f****** on set, which I had never shot before at all,” she said.
Bella Thorne hopes people will be open-minded
“If you think that porn is uncomfortable, I’m sorry that you are uncomfortable, but don’t make other people feel uncomfortable for being OK with it.”
Her & Him is a part of Pornhub’s Visionaries Director’s Series featuring unexpected guest directors.
The scheme hopes to “diversify porn production” and create more “varied content.”
The film will feature famous porn actors Abella Danger and Small Hands, with music from Thorne’s ex-boyfriend, Mod Sun.

Pornhub vice president Corey Price said: “Bella’s creativity and imagination (are) personified through the course of the film, as she takes viewers on a journey of passion and desire.”
Her & Him will be shown at The Oldenburg Film Festival in Germany from 11-15 September.
It will be available on Pornhub Premium at a later date.
