“I want to work in America because I want to make my name bigger and work for big companies and become famous worldwide.”
Briana Banderas worked as an elite personal trainer for VIP clients in Moscow, Russia prior to starting her porn career.
“I liked it a lot,” she says. “I still workout, it’s part of my life.”
Banderas keeps her body in top shape in part so she can do acrobatic positions
in her sex scenes—a talent that has become her calling card.
With curves for days and an appetite for hardcore, the Russian star has been a
hot commodity in Europe in the past six years. But now she is ready to take her emerging brand to new heights, telling AVN in July that she wants to penetrate the U.S. market.
“I want to work in America because I want to make my name bigger and work for big companies and become famous worldwide,” Banderas says.
It wouldn’t be wise to bet against her.
Briana has racked up 100-plus credits in Europe—60 for Legal Porno—in addition to several no-holes-barred scenes for Reality Kings, Evil Angel, Private, Cum Louder, PornBox, Harmony Films and MetArt.
The 25-year-old performer visited America for the first time earlier this summer, spending time in Miami and L.A., where she expanded her network of contacts, took some meetings and attended a few high-profile industry events.
Banderas, who became fluent in Spanish from watching telenovelas, launched her career in March 2016 in Mexico, but it was three months later in June that her life changed in a profound way.
She wanted to come to America that summer but did not get approved for a visa. So she made her second shooting trip to Prague, Czech Republic, staying at Legal Porno’s model house with a large group of other performers. One of those performers was Marco Banderas, the Uruguayan “Porn Superman” who has logged thousands of scenes since 2003.
Marco had recently moved to Europe from L.A.
“I was bored [in L.A.],” Marco tells AVN. “Every day was the same and I decide to
go to Europe to do something different.” Call it fate.
