Don’t mind Miss Bella Thorne — she’s just out here helping porn stars get in touch with their inner serious actor. Popular porn performer Abella Danger sat down with In Touch exclusively to talk about what she learned during the filming process for Her & Him, the 22-year-old’s directorial debut with PornHub. Needless to say, the Brazzers babe could only sing the praises of the former Disney starlet as a director.

“Working with her on the movie was so amazing. I learned a lot from her — not about porn, I know how to do that part. But I learned a lot from her, acting wise,” the 23-year-old revealed exclusively while promoting THNK1994’s VHS backroom exhibit with Brazzers in NYC. “And it was really cool to branch out because our porn scripts are meant to be like, funny, not serious.”

This 30-minute ~artistic~ porno was definitely going for more intensity than your average flick. “This was something that was like, you really wanted to like evoke these different kinds of emotions versus like, you just want to make people laugh,” the brunette beauty explained. “You really wanted people to feel something deeper than that. So it was really cool to get to do something out of my norm like that.”

As for Bella on set, well, she took her directorial tasks pretty seriously. “She was very hands-on and very into every single word. Everything that went on. It was like, she had this vision in her head,” the adult actress revealed. “And she was very determined to make it come to life. And yeah, she was definitely very serious. But in the nicest way possible.”

The coolest part was that the singer helped Abella find her acting chops, something she didn’t realize she had inside herself. “She really pushed me to like this new level of artistry that I that I didn’t think that I could reach,” she gushed. “I mean, I never got into porn to act. It was so incredible. I definitely hope that she goes on to direct more things in the future because she definitely has a talent for it.”

If Bella decides to direct another PornHub original — she’s going to be awarded for this one at the 2019 PornHub Awards! — then we think Abella should probably have a part. Dream team, y’all.
