“I’m really glad to be back.
It’s kind of like riding a bike.”
A former cam model on Chaturbate—who went by Asuna Luv—Alex
Grey tasted success early in her porn career. Just eight months in when
she was 19, the blonde stunner landed the cover of Penthouse as the
December 2015 Pet of the Month.
This year brought more success when she was crowned the March 2019
Vixen Angel, a sought-after title that comes with an armful of gifts.
Grey returned to porn performing for the first time in nine months in late
February. During her break she toured the country as a feature dancer,
headlining sometimes up to three different clubs a month for a grueling
four-month stretch.
“Which was really fun but I think I kind of overdid it,” Grey admits. “My
knees were so bruised but it was awesome. I met a lot of fans and now
I recognize people on Twitter who tweet at me. So it kind of helped me
because I think it made my fan base stronger—even though I wasn’t
shooting.”
Not coincidentally, one of the first scenes of her return debuted on
Vixen.com’s sister site Tushy. It’s an anal encounter with 2018 AVN Male
Performer of the Year Markus Dupree. She has created quite a history with
Greg Lansky’s award-winning anal site—Grey took on Mick Blue in her
first anal scene on Tushy and won her first AVN Award for her three-way
anal scene with Christian Clay and Karla Kush.
Grey, who has been represented by John Steven at Matrix Models since
starting porn in April 2015, says she never even hinted at retirement during
her time away.
“I just needed to rest,” she says. “I just needed to take a break. Because
I never wanted to retire; I never announced that I was retiring. I never said
that I hated the industry and I was leaving. That was never my intention
and so I’m really lucky that I got to keep my following and my fans and
everything and no one really went away.
“It was just a personal issue that I needed time…and I’m really glad that
I did. Because now I feel super fresh and I’m really glad to be back. It’s
kind of like riding a bike. That’s the best way to put it. It did me well to take
a little break.”
“I realize that is a huge thing,” she says. “It’s two things: it’s being
respectful and being a part of your community on the inside and being
aware and being a good role model for the people on the outside.”
Grey adds, “I’m really excited for more public things. I love meeting my
fans. It’s always worth it.”
