The Australian woman crowned the world’s most popular porn star has revealed the true story behind her iconic photo.
Angela White was named Pornhub’s most popular female performer during the platform’s 2024 Year In Review report, with Ms White racking up a whopping 1,558,201,885 video views.
Now, the adult star is up for three awards at the seventh annual Pornhub Awards — Nicest T*ts, Favourite Female Performer and Top DP performer — on May 8.
“I am extremely excited. This year is Western themed, so it’s going to be really cool to see everyone dressed up in cowboy boots and hats, and riding the mechanical bull at the Saddle Ranch on Sunset,” the 40-year-old told news.com.au.
“And I feel like if anyone can tame that bull, it would be the professional riders of porn.”
It’s not the first awards ceremony for the adult industry this year, with the AVN Awards taking place in January.
Ms White was up for a plethora of awards at the ceremony, and ended up walking away with seven of those gold trophies. This included Best Star Showcase for F*** ANGELA, Ms White’s film that she released on VHS, DVD and in digital. The film was a love letter to the early 2000s Gonzo era of pornography.
After her win, Ms White, who is known as the Meryl Streep of the adult film world due to her countless accolades, shared a snap of herself surrounded by trophies and eating a burger.
Ms White was still in her floorlength sequin black dress from the event, which featured a high neckline and long sleeves.
Fellow performers and fans flocked to the comments section to congratulate Ms White on her wins.
Lisa Ann commented with several fire emojis, while a fellow Australian porn star known for being well endowed said: “Living legend. Honoured to win one with you.”
Brazzers, a porn studio whom Ms White is a contract performer with, said: “W’s in the chat.”
Heidi Grey said: “This is such a boss pic.”
Another wrote: “Congratulations and all the best wishes. Well deserved to the most beautiful and hottest lady with the most wonderful eyes. Enjoy your time and have fun.”
“Hello Queen … You will never read it but you deserve this award very much,” one said.
“The GOAT of adult entertainment,” commented another.
Now, Ms White has revealed to news.com.au the story behind the epic photograph.
“That was taken straight after the awards in Vegas. We went back to my villa — it was my team who helped me shoot that movie F*** ANGELA, which was the big award we were celebrating that night.
“It won Best Star Showcase at the AVN Awards. Whenever I win an award, I always celebrate with burgers or pizza — that’s my tradition.
“And since we won that big award, I took my team back to my villa — and some of my friends — and we just sat there eating burgers and having a good time.”
The Pornhub Awards aren’t the only thing Ms White is gearing up for. She is also getting ready to speak at the University of Santa Barbara, to do a lecture with students enrolled in Film and Media Studies.
The course, which the university website reads “approaches pornography as a major instance of film and popular culture, from the prehistory and history of cinema and video to the internet and virtual worlds,” is the longest-running class on porn in North America.
Ms White is speaking about her thesis, The Porn Performer, which aims to look beyond the idea that women in the sex industry are forced into it. The thesis itself explores the lives of six Australian women in sex work, and the impact it has had on their sexuality.
Ms White, who has spoken to students about her thesis previously, said it’s always an “honour” to do so.
“I’ve done this several times. Every time I do it, I am always surprised at how thoughtful the students are, they always ask well thought of, provocative questions. They’ve really engaged with not only my academic work but also my performance work,” she said.
“I know that this year, they’re going to be looking at F*** ANGELA as a project as well, so I will be getting new questions this year. It’s an incredible experience. The students are just so wonderful.
“I am just so happy this class exists, where pornography is seen as worthy of intellectual and academic study — like any other film genre.”
