“I’ve definitely done a lot of new and exciting
things this year, especially versus my first year.”
Alina Lopez knows her acrobatics are no longer a secret in adult industry circles.
Now that the word is out it’s not uncommon for directors to make special requests.
“Sometimes I’ll show up to scenes and they’re like, ‘Oh, we want you to do some of that
stuff,’” Lopez says. “And I’m like, ‘Ahh, not today … I just want to have sex.’”
But when the mood strikes her, Lopez can go where few have gone before her with sexual
positions. Like when she turned a naked handstand into an upside-down missionary maneuver
for Damon Dice in a scene called “One Hot Box” for Reality Kings.
“That was one of those days when I show up and I was like, ‘Hey, let’s have some fun. Let’s
see what weird stuff we can do,’” Lopez recalls. “I was inspired that day and it turned out great.
People are retweeting that like crazy.”
The 5-foot-6, hazel-eyed native of St. George, Utah, who won the 2019 AVN Hottest
Newcomer award via online fan voting in January, keeps proving she’s capable of lifting a
production every time she steps on the set. Whether it’s an old-fashioned gonzo throwdown or
a dramatic feature role, the former competitive gymnast tends to stick her landings.
It’s why the veteran stud Damon Dice, who grew up in Maryland and started porn in 2014,
calls Lopez a “triple threat.”
“She’s beautiful; she’s a great actress; and she has amazing, high-energy sex scenes,”
Dice tells AVN, adding that Lopez showed him something new with her erotic tumbling.
“That was a first-time move for me ... I was honestly blown away because when scripts
call for complex positions girls are generally apprehensive to do positions that are out of their
comfort zone. But Alina—with zero hesitation—dove in!”
If 2018 was the year when Lopez established herself as a promising newcomer to watch,
this year the 24-year-old Spiegler Girl is authoring one of the best bodies of work of 2019.
“I think I’ve definitely done a lot of new and exciting things this year, especially versus my
first year. My first year I really just did scenes,” Lopez tells AVN. “And I heard everyone talking
about all these features they were a part of and I was like, ‘I want to do that.’ But I didn’t get to
do that my first year, understandably. I was kind of proving myself.”
Lopez at press time in August had already appeared in four story-driven movies with more
to come. “And it was really cool to experience that because it’s totally different than just doing
a regular scene,” she says. “It’s the real deal. … So it’s been cool to feel like I’ve been able to
expand my résumé and to kind of show people that I’m multi-talented.”
Lopez landed supporting roles in two of the year’s most high-profile features, directed by
Bree Mills for Adult Time. Perspective follows a couple (Angela White and Seth Gamble) in the
final dysfunctional days of their union, while Teenage Lesbian is an autobiographical story set
in the 1990s about an 18-year-old (Kristen Scott) coming to terms with her sexual orientation.
Bree Mills, who is also the chief creative officer for Adult Time’s family of studios, tells AVN
that Lopez distinguished herself as an industry go-to girl this year.
“When I think of the actresses who made the biggest impression on me this year, Alina
