Adult Website To Award Bella Thorne For Directing Adult Film, 'Her & Him'

Former Disney Channel star and actress Bella Thorne has now received yet another award in her career. Back in 2015, she scored a Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Villain for her work in the teen comedy The Duff, her first and only surfboard prize out of seven nominations. The 21-year-old former Disney Channel star has also been feted with Young Artist and Young Hollywood awards from various voting groups, and now comes word that she's poised to take home another prize for her mantle.

Thorne has been selected to receive a Vision Award at the 2nd Annual Pornhub Awards Show, scheduled for Oct. 11 at the Orpheum Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles. Porn star and Pornhub brand ambassador Asa Akira is hosting the event where Ty Dolla $ign, Bad Bunny, Ian Isiah, Kali Uchis, Rico Nasty and Tommy Genesis are set to perform. 

The news comes just weeks after the release of Thorne's directorial debut Her & Him, a film she made for the streaming platform, one of the leading pornography websites on the Internet. It stars adult entertainers Abella Danger and Small Hands and, per Pornhub, "depicts an edgy 20-something guy who stumbles upon a surprise text in his girlfriend's phone, interrupting their morning routine and spinning everything into an out-of-control sexually charged encounter." The company produced Her & Him under its Visionaries Director's Series, which features debuts from guest directors to help diversify porn production.

"I'm excited for visions of beauty like this to be shed in a new light," Thorne said in a statement released with the today's news. "Breaking the taboo of what's classified as beautiful has always been a vision of mine and it brings me such joy to see this being recognized for what it truly is...beautiful visionary art."

The 2nd annual Pornhub Awards will feature Willo Perron as creative director and statues designed by British art director and graphic designer Peter Saville. Other honors to be recognized at the upcoming show include Most Popular Verified Amateur, Top Fetish Performer, Most Popular Gay Performer, Most Popular Network and Top Celebrity, among others.
