“I think this industry is just perfect for me...”
Don’t let the kitschy-cutesy name fool you—Cherry Kiss is on a quest for worldwide domination. This Queen of the Extreme Screen has a plan. The 2024 AVN International Female Performer of the Year, Kiss has more than a thousand scene credits over a 12-year career. The willowy Serbian performer was a star before setting foot in the U.S. last year. Now that she’s here, she’s not wasting time.
“I won Performer of the Year in Europe,” she revealed to AVN. “I want to win Performer of the Year here. I will stay here until I succeed.”
Currently based in Los Angeles, Kiss loves everything about America—except the food. Coming from a rural background with her grandmother’s cooking and locally- sourced food, she said everything here is “sugar, sugar, sugar.”
“This country is crazy, I love it—the weather and everything. Oh my God, everything makes me crazy and horny even more, like I love the sunshine. I love to go out. I love extreme sports. Here it’s always sunny. In Europe, we have about two months of summer, and after that, it’s always cold.
“I don’t like the food, though,” Kiss revealed. “In Europe, we have very good food. Here, the food is a poison. Like, I started to cook here, I hate to cook, but here I cook very good.
“The big difference—this country gives you opportunities and gives you possibilities, no matter who you are, what you are, if you are not a lazy fuck. The people in America—I say to so many people here, ‘Guys, you know how lucky you are? Don’t be lazy...’ This country gives you so much that other countries do not, so foreigners come here and make things happen for a reason because they have goals and they have hard lives.”
Kiss said further, “Here, you have it more easy, so—I don’t want to generalize—but the younger generation doesn’t appreciate the opportunities they’ve got, so they get lazy because they have everything already. This country is amazing for the opportunities.”
“Like, I plan things, and I’m not moving until I achieve it, all my life I’ve been like this,” Kiss said. “The point is, I can’t leave because I applied for a green card and process, and blah, blah, blah. I haven’t seen my family for one year and a half now, and it’s hard. It’s a big sacrifice... I respect and love this country for the opportunities you can have here—you have to love and respect it and make the most of it. So, this is what I want to do. It’s a big sacrifice because I’m very attached to my family, and it’s sacrificing, not seeing them.”
The “Belgrade Bombshell,” who debuted in 2011 at age 19, is from a small village in Serbia. But like many small-town girls, Kiss wondered what life would be like in the big city.
