“I really like shooting for something more slow and passionate...’
Lia Lin did commercial modeling for several years before venturing into adult entertainment.
“I started from modeling for a long time actually,” says Lin, who appeared in editorials for numerous fashion, jewelry and makeup brands. “And I thought the industry would be somewhat the same because the concept is you are the product. But it’s a little different.
“It has its quirks and it’s positive side and not-so positive. Because it is a job of course and sometimes you get worked up, sometimes you get tired and it’s normal. But I do enjoy.” Lin, who turned 22 on February 22nd, tells AVN she was focused on her mainstream modeling career from her early teenage years but the pandemic and then the Russian
conflict led her to make some life changes.
Her career as a contracted model started out in Russia and then took her to Shanghai
for a couple years.
“It was a good experience overall,” Lia says. “It definitely teaches you how to be a grown
up very early because you have to do everything yourself. Earn money, rent apartments, which I used to do since I was like 17 maybe.
“That experience was good and bad—and the bad side of it is I guess the competition, which is normal. But I’m not a big fan of that.”
She especially liked the traveling aspect of modeling.
“I love traveling for sure,” Lia, who is 5-foot-8, continues. “It’s a very difficult experience when you travel alone which I always do, but it teaches you a lot. And you meet so much new people that you never thought you would meet.”
Born in Brazil, Lia’s father is Filipino/Brazilian and her mother is Russian.
She lived in Brazil for a short time and then moved to St. Petersburg, Russia with her mom and brother after her parents divorced.
Nowadays she lives mostly in Budapest, Hungary, where she has had an apartment for the past eight months.
“Sometimes I go to Spain. I’ll go to Barcelona just to have a fun time,” she says. “But usually I just travel a lot.”
Speaking to AVN from Rome, Italy, where she was shooting for SexArt, Lia says she enjoyed her romantic scene with Marcello Bravo for LittleCaprice-Dreams.com, which was shot in Vienna, Austria earlier this year.
“It was great actually,” she says. “Something that’s lacking in porn for me is kind of a woman’s perspective of it. So it’s not so rough, it’s not so action, action. It’s kind of soft and with a backstory and very passionate. So I really enjoyed that, it was nice.”
Lia heard about Caprice and Marcello’s success as a producing couple through a friend.
