Chloe has made a name for herself as one of the most popular, talented and expressive performers in the porn industry. With over 400 movies to her credit, directing gigs, feature dancing, and hosting the most recent AVN Awards ceremony, the 31-year-old Los Angeles native's a porn powerhouse. Busy Chloe still took the time to be interviewed for Eros Guide, dishing the dirt on her porn acting and directing career, getting sober, privacy and more.
Eros Guide: I read in an interview you did that you said that the acting is acting, and the sex and orgasms are real. You're known for pretty outrageous orgasms, with your eyes rolling back in your head and your whole body convulsing. I read a description in a review that said that you channel demons when you screw, and I thought that was so great.
Chloe: I have been referred to as the Linda Blair of pornography, and I take that as a compliment.
EG: Cool. Is that what it's usually like for you?
Chloe: That is what it's usually like. When I first got into the industry and I watched the first couple of my scenes, and I noticed the eye rolling and the drool coming out of my mouth and then this complete blank look and then this bliss look and then almost a pain look, and I'm thinking, is this something that I've just started doing because I know a camera's on me or is this something that I've always done? I wasn't sure. So I called up some of the old ex boyfriends, and they said you've always rolled your eyes back and had convulsions during sex. So I think that's just the real deal.
EG:The Ozporns is a popular spoof on the MTV show "The Osbournes," which just came out last year and you just directed a takeoff of Cruel Intentions. Do you like doing films that are a takeoff of popular shows or films? Are they more fun?
Chloe: Spoofing has kind of been what the industry's all about, especially when you're doing the features. I write my own scripts and I produce and direct them myself, and I tried to do originals, but it's hard to tell your actors and actresses what you're going after if they don't have anything to look at ahead of time. So I found it's a little bit easier, especially for the sex comedies.
EG: I saw on your website that you're making some personalized sex toys. My favorite one is the Fist of Fury, which is a replica of your fist. I think that's really cool…
Chloe: I think it's really cool too, and I'm glad that they let me do it. And it's actually doing very well out there. I get a lot of orders for that myself. It is a little creepy though, because if you hold it up to my fist, it's definitely my veins and my tendons and every little wrinkle, it's just like, "Damn!"
EG: What's it like to know that people are having sex with something that's based on your body?
Chloe: It's no different than knowing that everybody out there has probably had an orgasm with me without me knowing it. With 407 videos out there, when people walk up to me and meet me, they know me intimately, or at least they think they do, because they've looked in my eyes when I've been coming, they've probably ejaculated to me. I've had women run up to me and say, "I've turned bisexual because of you." It's kind of the same thing. I've had people say, "I've had you fist me before." And I'm like "Really? I don't remember."
EG: I read in another interview you said that you were one of the first actresses to go "condom only," and I didn't realize that individual performers do that. I thought that was a thing that certain companies do…
Chloe: No, the companies got on the bandwagon after the big HIV scare. I came in doing only boy-girl, I didn't really do that many girl-girl sex scenes when I was new because I didn't really know how to do girls, and I did not use condoms for my first year and a half in the industry. And then I was getting so many bacterial infections. I became a condom only player and proceeded not to work at all for about three or four months, because of that
EG: You work with AIM...
Chloe: The AIM Healthcare program has been so beneficial to this industry I can't even tell you. Given the nature of the work, we've made it as safe as humanly possible to work here with all the programs we offer —drug and alcohol counseling, sexual abuse counseling… it's an amazing foundation.
EG: I think that's the kind of thing people don't necessarily hear about.
Chloe: No they don't, and AIM has really changed the face of the industry. We do orientation, sit them down and say this is what you can expect from the industry. We give them a video called Porn 101 that Sharon Mitchell and Nina Hartley, veterans of the industry, made together. We give them a list of STDs, things that you can catch, things to look for on yourself, things to look for on your partner. We let them know coming in exactly what they're getting into. And it wasn't that way when I came in, I had no fucking idea what I was getting into.
I found sobriety in this industry, when I came in I had a huge drug problem, and I got sober about a year after I had been doing this, and grew up and found myself as a woman in this industry. This industry has probably been better to me than anybody else I know. My rise to fame or infamy, if you will, was very rapid, and my involvement with AIM is my biggest way of giving back to what the industry has given to me.
EG: I was going to ask you about getting sober, because it did happen soon after you got into the industry.
Chloe: Yeah, you know, getting sober is the hardest fucking thing anybody could ever do. And people always say, well, wasn't it really hard getting sober in that industry? It's hard getting sober doing anything. When you're in any entertainment industry where you give so much of yourself to a large group of people, it does leave a bit of a void in you and drugs are the perfect filler for that. So I would say it was no harder for me to get sober than it was for anybody else that works in another type of entertainment industry.
When you get into this industry, all of a sudden you're making some really good money and usually the drug problem gets a little worse, because all of a sudden you're able to afford the cocaine and the speed and the heroin or whatever the hell you're doing. For me, I was coming out of a six year run of drug abuse, and I was really kind of on my deathbed already, and I kind of knew that I had maybe another year or two left to live.
EG: You consciously knew that?
Chloe: Yeah, for being a drug addict, I was pretty conscious of what I was doing to myself. I was very conscious of the fact that I was killing myself and I just lacked the guts to do myself in the traditional blow your head off way. Even when I was a drug addict, the Los Angeles Needle Exchange was another one of my little side projects. So no matter what I've done in my life, I've always wanted to try to do it safer. Yes, I knew I was killing myself, but hey, why not do it with a clean, sharp needle?
And you know what? I changed my mind at 24, I decided I didn't want to die anymore. I decided that I can be really good at being a porno actress and that I really loved this job. And if I had been using dirty needles all those years, chances are I wouldn't be alive today.
I can remember back when I was still using I did a movie and I was in the bathroom for about an hour trying to find a vein. And when it came down to my sex scene, the two guys that had to have sex with me were flipping a coin to see who had to do me in the ass because neither of them wanted to touch me.
So, those were my humble beginnings in this industry, and to come from that, to hosting the AVN Awards—getting respect as a woman in this industry, and as a fucking director, has been nothing short of miraculous, I mean, honestly, it's amazing from where I came from that I've managed to make it here.
EG: So you mentioned this before, but you just hosted the AVN Awards in Las Vegas, and you've won 10 AVN Awards yourself. What was hosting it like?
Chloe: Mostly it was scary as all hell. I was really nervous on stage and then I had my huge epiphany backstage, where I was like, okay, there are 4000 people in the room but everybody here has seen me naked. I mean, why am I so nervous being dressed in a formal gown in front of people who have seen me fucking?
