Playing Together, Staying Together
French imports Clea Gaultier and Anthony Gaultier
When Clea Gaultier met her boyfriend Anthony,
sparks flew.
Both were part of the entertainment at a nightclub in
their hometown of Lyon, France, where Clea was go-go
dancing and Anthony was performing a fire-breathing
act.
“I used to offer a fire show for the event—for
nightclubs,” Anthony Gaultier recalls. “It was a second
source of money for me during the weekends.”
“For me, it’s amazing,” Clea says. “I love this kind of
show.”
The two started dating and about a year later—in
June 2016—they debuted in porn with French studio
Marc Dorcel. Their first sex scene appears in director
Herve Bodilis’ Luxure: I Offer My Wife to Others.
“I was nervous not about to be naked
or fuck, because it’s OK, but I was
nervous to be professional and
the crew enjoy my work,” Clea
tells AVN. “So I was shy because
during the scene it’s good to
have good sounds, like ‘Ah,
ah!’… And my first scene was
without sounds because I didn’t
know—it was new for me.”
Clea may have been on the
quiet side on Day 1, but she
made more than enough noise
to leave an impression.
The former ballerina and
lingerie model since has become
a regular in the studio’s talent
rotation, performing in nine
different movies for Dorcel to
date. At press time she was
also cast in the company’s
blockbuster movie this
year that is shooting this
spring at a secret location
in Europe.
“I work a lot for them
because there is three
director,” Clea says. “So
everybody is in Paris and one in
London, Liselle Bailey, a blonde
girl. She’s very pretty, and one
in Budapest. I like this kind of
production. It’s very classy.”
With about 60 credits and
counting so far, the curvaceous
brunette has become a go-to
performer for just about every
major studio in Europe, including
Private, Reality Kings, SexArt,
Jacquie et Michel, Brazzers,
Viv Thomas, DDF, Harmony,
Killergram, Legal Porno, PornDoe,
Colmax and Woodman, among
others.
“When I begin the porn I
say, ‘Oh my god, what is it?’ Because I was shy,’”
Clea continues. “And now I discover all the porn—
with girl, with deep-throat, anal, DP, with several
people. I was a little bit shocked and now I feel very
comfortable and I like it, and I would like to do
beautiful career and to be more famous and work
with the best actress.”
Anthony Gaultier is building his own profile with
more than 25 credits so far, working for Private,
Rocco Siffredi, Legal Porno and PornDoe Premium,
among others. He recalls that first scene with Clea
was intense, but in a good way.
“It was really tough because we start with Dorcel,
which is the most famous company in France and one
of the best in Europe and we start with this director
who is very famous,” Anthony tells AVN. “And the
crew was really big and people say, ‘Oh, aren’t you
impressed?’ There’s a lot of people. Two engineers
for the sound, three cameras, one photographer. An
assistant for the director—many, many people. So I
was a little bit nervous but I’m very lucky because I
always… I’m kind of weird, I always have hard wood.
So for that part it was quite easy but all the other
part—like the posture and the light and everything—I
was a rookie, so I didn’t know. They explain to me.
And everything went pretty well.”
Both Clea and Anthony, who now reside in
Barcelona, are wrapping up their first trip to Porn
Valley in Los Angeles for work; they also attended the
AVN Adult Entertainment Expo and AVN Awards in
January in Las Vegas.
“I love Las Vegas,” Clea says. “It’s amazing and
for me it was my first time, so I was very impressed
because I see all the very famous actress and it was
very good.”
Anthony agrees, saying, “It’s very different from
Europe because America is always very big and wow,
in Europe there is nothing like this.”
Clea and Anthony moved from Lyon to Barcelona
around the time they made their porn debut because
of the weather and “welcoming” nature of Spanish
people.
“I prefer the Spanish people more than French
people,” Clea jokes.
“They’re more warm and they like to party,”
Anthony says. “There’s a lot of shooting in Barcelona.
A lot of people come to Barcelona for the weather, the
big house, the seaside and everything to shoot. So it
was a good opportunity for the business as well.”
Anthony, whose parents are French and Spanish,
says the move was easy because he speaks fluent
Spanish; Clea speaks some as well. They make
frequent trips to Budapest, Prague and London to
perform.
“I think it’s more comfortable here in L.A. because
all the shooting is in L.A. but for us a lot of time in
the plane flying to London to work,” Anthony says.
“One week in London, two weeks in Prague. One
week in Budapest. One week home in Barcelona.
Moving a lot. Quite tiring to be European talent.”
ATMLA represents both performers for bookings
in L.A.; Axel Aces and Amirah Adara referred the
couple to the agency owned by Mark Schechter.
“They told me ATMLA was very good so I would
like to try,” Clea says. “It’s very good, I’m not
disappointed.”
“This agency accept us as a couple,” Anthony adds.
“We do work separate, but some agency don’t want
to have any couple. Our business is totally separate.
She can do whatever she wants and I can do
whatever I want. But some agency don’t want a
couple. In my opinion it’s more private life because I
don’t bother her in working, whatever she want and
I do whatever I want. … We are happy to work with
ATM; they got a good reputation.
She is very busy. She works
almost every day.”
Anthony continues, “For
me as a male performer it’s
harder for me to get jobs
because the director don’t
know me yet. I just have my
reputation in Europe. If they
hire me a couple times then
people will say I’m pretty
good and hire me again.
It takes time
for a guy.”
Schechter tells
AVN the Gaultiers
will be returning to
Europe next week
but have enjoyed a
productive trip.
“It’s been an
absolute pleasure
representing both of
them,” Schechter says.
“I typically don’t take on
foreign males, it’s just
too difficult to get them
going in the short time
period that we have with
them. I made an exception
in this case due to the
fact that Clea was very
bookable, and she did
quite well here. Anthony,
too, is a very good performer.
It was just difficult for me
to get clients to take a
chance on an unknown
male performer. I look
forward to their return
again next year, and I
think Anthony will do much
better.”
