“I didn’t expect this—like I’m completely shook...”
When Dutch star Romy Indy first discovered she was nominated for the 2022 AVN Awards, she didn’t think it was real.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Romy recalls. “Because at first I saw it on somebody else’s [Instagram] story. And I was like, ‘What? Wait, my name is there?’ I was thinking, ‘No, she’s like making a joke.’ And I was like, ‘Whoa, it’s really my name!’”
Nominated for Best New International Starlet and Best International Lesbian Sex Scene, Romy tells AVN she was surprised her work had been noticed overseas.
“‘They know me from America, like who I am?’ I was in shock,” Romy, who was born and raised in Amsterdam, told AVN less than a week before the show. “And I was texting my mom, ‘Like oh my god, mom, look, they know me in USA.’
“And she was also really happy for me and very proud. And then I put it on my Instagram and social media. And people were like, ‘Whoa, that’s really big, congratulations!’ I was thinking people only know me in Europe and not over there.
“So yeah, I feel very honored and happy and I just couldn’t believe it. I needed to check it maybe three times and see if my name really stays there.”
Not only did her name stay on the nominations list, on January 22nd—which was also her 23rd birthday, Romy won the 2022 AVN Award for Best New International Starlet.
She accepted the award live on Zoom from her home in The Netherlands, where it was about 5:15 a.m. the next day, January 23.
Wearing a red top, Romy covered her face with her hands and then smiled and said, “Thank you so much, I didn’t expect this—like I’m completely shook. ... I’m so happy, I’m so grateful, thank you to BrillBabes, thank you to JulModels, thank you to all the production I worked in 2021 and wow, I can’t believe I won! Thank you so much guys, I don’t know what to say, thank you AVN.”
Indy, who started her porn career with KimHolland.nl when she was 20 in the summer of 2019, has more than 80 credits so far, including a starring role in One Night in Barcelona for leading French studio Marc Dorcel. That movie won 2022 AVN Best International Production.
“I want to take this as far as I can,” Romy tells AVN. “I hope I can do this until like maybe I’m 35 or maybe even after my 30s. If I still look good, maybe I can do it for a longer time. And then maybe after I hope to continue with RomyIndy.com.”
