‘I don’t have any regrets.’
French star Cassie Del Isla juggled classes, worked at
McDonald’s and moonlighted as a stripper before stepping onto
her first porn set in 2016. She recalls how life was hard during
those years.
“But I don’t have any regrets,” says the 27-year-old Del Isla,
who flipped Big Macs in Toulouse, France, between shifts at the
club. “I’m quite proud because those years were terrible for me.
Because I had two jobs and then in afternoon I had my school.
“And it is not really easy to work in the McDonald’s. You finish
and you smell like French fries. It’s really, really complicated and
people talk to you like you are shit. But I manage to do it so I was
like very proud of me because I had my diploma at the end.”
Del Isla, who was born on Ile de la Reunion, a small island east
of Madagascar that is a department of France, says everything
changed when she met her husband, Dorian.
The former French Army paratrooper owned The Private strip
club where Cassie worked; the two hooked up in 2013 and married
in 2015. A year later they made their porn debut for French studio
Jacquie & Michel under the direction of a familiar face.
Tristan Seagal, a childhood friend of Dorian’s from Bordeaux
who has been directing porn since 2003, recruited the couple
after they dabbled with cam shows on Chaturbate.
“For me it was weird because it was like, ‘This is the best man of
my wedding,’” Cassie jokes. “… But you try to forget it…”
Dorian adds, “He’s a good coach. The first shoot was completely
easy because he say, ‘Do what you want and what you can.’”
That scene generated more than 1 million views on the first
week on JacquieetMichelTV.net. It now has more than 7.1 million
views. Fifty-something scenes later, Cassie and Dorian went to
Vegas in January as nominees for foreign performers of the year.
“We want to come more often in L.A. for work because I think
it’s good to mix between European porn and U.S. porn,” says
Cassie, who lives in Ibiza, Spain, and is repped by Hussie Models
in the U.S. “We learn a lot more this year so ... the next trip would
be perfect because now we know.”
