“I love my job and I don’t have any plans to slow down.”
Before she packed her bag and Ubered to her shoot, Angel Gostosa channeled her attention toward another order of business.
English class.
It happened time and time again last spring, when Gostosa—then an 18-year-old high school senior—would make midweek trips from her native Virginia to Los Angeles to embark on her new career in porn. Determined to earn her diploma, Gostosa monitored each of her classes via Zoom so she wouldn’t fall behind.
“I’d be online at 6 a.m. in LA—and no one in my class back in Virginia knew that I was about to go have sex all day,” Gostosa chuckles. “It was kind of fun having that little secret.” One year later, nothing about Gostosa’s adult industry career is hush-hush. The 5-foot-3 Brazilian with jet-black hair and a picturesque posterior is creating a buzz among directors and producers, who are showing increasing interest in one of the industry’s hottest newcomers. “I was so nervous at first,” says Gostosa, who turned 19 on Valentine’s Day. “I was like, ‘Is the audience going to like me?’ But that went away after a few scenes. I’m not scared
anymore.”
It’s no coincidence that Gostosa’s bookings have increased right along with her comfort
level. Not bad for a rookie whose goal two years ago was to become an elementary school teacher.
“The feedback and support has been all positive,” Gostosa says. “I always ask for constructive criticism from directors, just so I can get better. I love my job and I don’t have any plans to slow down.”
