“I’m a really chill little internet girl.”
Cecilia Lion appreciates the numerous encouraging messages she receives from fans, even if
she can’t respond to most of them.
She’ll see notes such as, “Oh my gosh, you’re one of my favorite porn stars, you’re such a famous
celebrity!”
But the 25-year-old Lion, who was born in Chicago and raised in Phoenix, stays grounded.
“I don’t even view myself as a celebrity who’s followed around by cameras and always gets
stopped, and ‘porn star’—I don’t even necessarily like to take that title,” Lion tells AVN. “I feel like
a porn star is once you get awards for your scenes. That’s when you can claim the title.
“And even then, I feel like that’s a life that you live. I don’t live that porn star lifestyle. I’m pretty
chill and really laid back. I’m not high maintenance or anything like that. I’m really relaxed and I’m
a really chill little internet girl.”
The personable performer, who started her career as a cam girl in August 2015, enjoys building
connections with her fans.
“I guess you could say my kink is talking to strangers online,” jokes Lion, who has performed in
about 100 porn scenes since 2017 for several name studios such as Reality Kings, Vixen Media
Group, Bang Bros, Jules Jordan Video, Brazzers and Girlfriends Films.
The former Cheesecake Factory hostess and Hooters waitress says all of her experiences on
set so far have been positive.
“So I’m super fortunate,” says Lion, who is repped by East Coast Talent. “It’s only made me like
the industry more. I know there are those bad stories in the industry but I feel like it’s more so
how you deal with the situation. My situation has been really cool and awesome and super fun.
Hopefully we get back to shooting soon because I kind of miss it.”
