“I try to be very humble and chill about everything.”
Blake Blossom knew from the start that adult performing would change her life, so she wanted to be sure.
She first met her prospective agent, Ryan from Hussie Models, in March 2020.
“I talked to him three days in a row,” Blossom recalls. “We met up for three nights and I grilled
him. I asked him every question I could think of.”
Ryan tells AVN the then 20-year-old Blake “wanted to know every single detail possible” as
they chatted in his AirBnB during the first wave of the pandemic.
“I don’t like to hide anything and I give it to everyone straight,” Ryan says. “I remember her
sitting down in those three days and she said, ‘Look Ryan, I have a goal. I have a vision in my mind. I want to do this kind of filming... And I’m gonna work my fucking ass off and prove to everybody I can do this.’”
Call it mission accomplished.
Blossom on January 22 captured the adult industry’s highest honor for a new female performer, winning Best New Starlet at the all-digital 39th annual AVN Awards in a field of finalists that included more than a dozen of the top new girls in adult. She also claimed the Fan-Voted AVN Award for Hottest Newcomer on a Saturday night that she’ll never forget.
“I try to be very humble and chill about everything,” Blossom, who turned 22 in February, tells AVN. “I didn’t really do anything to celebrate it, honestly. But it was just like a major win for me personally because it’s what I wanted for two years.”
Blossom accepted the Best New Starlet award at home, expressing shock and jubilation during her brief speech live on Zoom.
“I really think that I’ve honestly spent the last two years doing nothing but porn and building my brand,” she said the day after the show. “I’ve spent all of my free time trying to do content, trying to get my name out there, trying to be an amazing young woman that’s trying to show the good sides of porn performing and not slip into drugs and alcohol like a lot of people do. These last two years, I’ve really, really tried my best. It’s just amazing that a lot of other people can see that as well.”
Without question, she was among the busiest, most in-demand performers in the business since doing her first scene on March 26, 2020, with the late Jake Adams for Exploited College Girls.
