Cherry Kiss

I have a really interesting story with Cherry. Back around 2019, we lived on the same block in Budapest. Gorgeous, beautiful girl — but for some reason I was convinced the two of us would never get along. We both have very dominant energy, way too dominant, and I figured there was no way we'd click. Plenty of productions tried to put us together, and I kept saying no. Why? Because as beautiful and sweet as she is, I honestly thought we just wouldn't like each other.

Then one day Rocco Siffredi talked me into doing a scene with her. We got to the set and the two of us were staring each other down, both of us avoiding each other. And then the action started. Wow — how wrong we both were. All that dominant energy we had against each other turned into an explosion of sex, and into a beautiful friendship too. To this day, after all these years, we're still friends. And as you can see, obviously, we got together several more times to shoot content. Cherry — a Serbian girl, strong and incredible.

Cherry Kiss (born December 31, 1992, in Niš, Serbia) is a Serbian adult film actress and director. She won the 2024 AVN Award for International Female Performer of the Year and is one of the most prolific European performers, with well over a thousand scenes credited on IAFD. Her other credited names include Charry Kiss, Anna R, Ivana and Leony.

Background. Before the industry she trained as a nurse and studied in Belgrade. She first became known in Serbia through the reality show Parovi and a nude shoot for CKM magazine, then moved to Budapest to pursue modeling and adult work.

Career. Kiss started performing in 2011 at around 19 and became a mainstay of the Budapest scene before building a career in the United States as well. She has worked with Marc Dorcel, where she had a lead role in Une nuit à Paris and starred in Soubrettes Services 10, plus Evil Angel (Erik Everhard Takes On Europe), Private, Legal Porno, Fake Hub, Jacquie et Michel and Brazzers, and she has her own showcase, I Am Sex: Cherry Kiss. She has directed her own productions since 2020 and was nominated for AVN's Best Directing Portfolio in 2026.

Awards. Kiss was nominated for AVN Female Foreign Performer of the Year every year from 2018 to 2021, and for International Female Performer of the Year in 2022 and 2023, before winning it in 2024. She was then nominated for the overall AVN Female Performer of the Year in 2025 and 2026, a rare step up for a European-based star. She has also been nominated twice for XBIZ Foreign Female Performer of the Year, for XBIZ Europa awards, for the DSN Awards' Best European Pornstar (2025) and for GayVN (2019), and she won the 2020 Spank Bank Award for European Enchantress of the Year.

In Serbia. Kiss grew up in a village near Niš. In a 2012 interview with the Serbian daily Kurir, given during a visit home, she described her work as "acting without a trace of emotion" and said she regarded her male co-stars simply as colleagues. She said her family, living in a conservative community, had found it hard to accept her career; her parents had planned for her to study medicine and become a doctor, but she said her life was her own business. She also said she had opened an agency in Belgrade with a friend that connected Serbian women directly with major European productions, and that many applicants were coming forward from all over the country. She criticised what she saw as hypocrisy in Serbian attitudes, saying people confuse pornography with prostitution, and that the only people who turned their backs on her were former friends she regarded as hypocritical. Serbian and Bulgarian media have since described her as Serbia's best-known adult performer, noting that she has lived and worked in the United States for years.
