WHO’S WHO
FRESH FACE| |By Tod Hunter
Nicole Clitman: Humming Along
Home State: Illinois | Age: 24 | Height: 5-foot-4 | Weight: 120 pounds | 34A-23-32 | Hair: Blond | Eyes: Blue
A lifelong performer who grew up in Illinois, Clitman
traveled the country singing for a non-profit organization before
making her debut in May for Reality Kings.
It was on that set in Florida that her porn persona came to
just the right moment.
Nicole Clitman found the adult industry at
“After being so depressed I really needed
something to kick my ass back into gear,”
Clitman tells AVN. “And I love it. I love it so far. It’s
crazy but it’s awesome.”
life.
“It was a foot fetish shoot and we shot in South Beach at a
boutique and they were like, ‘On camera you look exactly like
Nicole Kidman. Like, you have to change your name,’” she
recalls. “So I thought about it for a while and I was like, ‘What
about Clitman?’ And they were like, ‘Yes, that’s the one!’”
And now a lot more than her stage name is proving
memorable.
The talented blonde has been booked early and often since
coming to the West Coast, doing scenes for Kink, Evil Angel’s
Mike Adriano and LeWood Productions.
Now represented by ATMLA, she also has performed for
Girlfriends Films, North Pole, Kelly Madison, Wankz VR and
Digital Playground, among others.
“I’ve just been embracing everything. I’ve been taking it all
in,” Clitman says. “Sometimes I’m quiet because I’m listening
to everything. I’m processing everything. I’m learning every day,
all day. But the experience is so much fun. I love it.”
The 24-year-old decided to give porn a shot after weighing
many factors.
“I had some pictures that were going around
on the internet six years ago. And I still get harassed about
them until this day. I was really depressed about it. An ex-
boyfriend posted them and people would send them to
all my friends,” Clitman explains.
“And then one day I thought about it and
I was like, is it really that big of a deal? I’m a
performer, you know. Why don’t I make some
money off of it?”
Already she’s done a little acting, playing
Fox News host Megyn Kelly in a “live debate”
on CamSoda.
“That was my second shoot ever,” Clitman
says. “It was a live debate and I had to fuck
Donald Trump. It was Tony D, the male talent.
Parker Swayze was Hillary Clinton. Yeah that
was interesting. It was really fun.”
So far, she says, producers can’t believe she’s
24.
“Everyone’s like, you need to stick to the
teen stuff while you can. So I’ve been doing a
lot of teen, young, natural scenes,” Clitman
says.
“It’s been awesome. I love it out here. It’s a
huge change of pace. I’ve never been this far
over to the West Coast. It’s my dream to be
in California. So I’m literally living my dream
right now.”
