Scarlett Alexis: A HotMovies Pornstar Interview

Scarlett Alexis has mastered many things since she joined the industry: playing a cute babysitter, overcoming the technical challenges of VR, and matching Bryan Gozzling’s Hookup Hotshot energy. In the latest HotMovies pornstar interview, this industrious self-booking star gives her perspectives on these accomplishments and many more.

HotMovies: Were there any interesting things you learned in your pre-porn jobs that had surprising applications in your porn career?

Scarlett Alexis: Being self sufficient has always been very important to me. That being said, learning to rely on myself, I developed and cultivated certain skills and attributes throughout all of my jobs that have absolutely carried me through to my current job in porn and will carry me through the rest of my life such as having a strong work ethic, staying organized, being dependable and reliable, cooperative with others, competitive against myself, and interpersonal skills.

According to IAFD, you were raised in Arizona, a state famous for its stifling heat. How did you cope with the hot weather?

Oh boy, every summer pretty much felt like a long heat stroke. Wearing as little clothing as possible certainly helped, lots of days at the river, staying hydrated, and eating hot foods helps your body handle hot weather. I am very grateful to now be living by the coast where the summers are far more bearable.

In your PornCrush interview, you said you were very kinky even before you entered the industry. What is the wildest thing you’ve done off camera?

There was a time I was experimenting a lot with BBG DP’s/Tagteams in my personal life. I feel like I got a lot of that out of my system then and my personal desires now have changed a lot now. I do remember this one night I did a BBG Tagteam and it was my first and only time getting fisted in the ass which I didn’t realize I was capable of receiving haha To be fair I had some drinks and the alcohol must’ve relaxed my muscles and in a way “lubricated” me.

Your shoot for the Cute Little Babysitter series is among your most popular clips on our sites. What are your recollections of that particular scene?

That was such a fun scene to shoot! I remember having a great time acting, there was great chemistry and I especially enjoyed the brief little massage I got to have from Brad Newman who played a physical therapist or chiropractor dad of some kind.

You did a VR scene for BaDoink. Tell us about the process of shooting a VR scene!

I’ve done a couple VR scene’s for BaDoink! I really enjoy shooting VR, it’s a completely different experience than 2D. Basically, the VR camera is what I’m interacting with as opposed to my scene partner. My scene partner is physically there of course, and I do my best to have some kind of connection with the person behind the camera, but mostly I’m channeling my energy to the viewer through the camera and whatever character they’re supposed to be for the scene, while using the body of my scene partner as a medium to express that. Also, there’s a lot of imagination at play because I’m doing all of the dialogue and imagining what the viewer will be responding to me and reacting accordingly. It can be kind of a paradox of a physically disconnecting experience while also being an extremely intimate experience for the viewer depending on what perspective and imagination you hold while being filmed.

Bryan Gozzling’s movies are famous for an intense, aggressive, up-tempo style. What’s it like to work with him? 

As someone who enjoys intense, aggressive, and up-tempo style sex, Bryan Gozzling’s movies have always been a fun experience for me while also being light hearted. Not to mention the creativity with the wardrobe and makeup is unique to his films.

Do you know right away when you’ve just shot a great scene, or do you have to wait until you see the finished, edited product to make that assessment?

I can always tell during and after a scene is complete when it’s been a great scene and good day’s work haha I will say, sometimes I’m caught by surprise when the very few times a scene I was maybe uncertain about comes out edited and turns out to be far better than I could’ve imagined.

What characteristic do fans compliment you on the most?

I would say it’s probably my passion and confidence. I do my best to display an authentic experience and I think my fans appreciate that. Also, I try my best to have fun with all parts of the job and have a positive attitude from the moment I’m on set in makeup, to the acting, to the sex, to my interactions with the crew and I think that shines through. I think people are sexiest when they’re having a good day.

In your Twitter profile you list musician in your profile. Tell us about that!

Yes! I’ve been a self taught musician since I was 6 years old. My first instrument was a recorder like many children, but at 6 is when I also started playing the piano. Throughout the years I have learned to also play the guitar, ukulele, other various flutes and pretty much any instrument I could get my hands on. I’m also a singer and songwriter and started vocal training, performing and competing as a teenager. Music has always been my biggest passion and form of expression.

Tell us about working with director, Mason in the movie Sexual Icons 3.

I had an absolutely amazing experience working with Mason. I loved the way I looked and felt and the wardrobe she picked. She’s a very talented photographer and has a great eye and vision for her scenes.

Talk a bit about social media. Love it or hate it?

It’s a love/hate relationship. I was never a big social media person before joining the industry and I’m a very private person but I’ve had to discipline myself to take it more seriously because I know it goes a long way. It’s exciting watching my following build and it’s visually pleasing to post and see other people’s posts and support my colleagues. My Instagram was recently deleted and I’ve had to start over from scratch which is a common experience for most accounts in porn. Sometimes having my feed (generally speaking on all social media platforms) be filled with nothing but porn or industry content can feel like an overload for my brain, and sometimes I see things I wish I never saw haha but I Iike to mix it up by following funny accounts that make me laugh and lots of cute cat posts, the balance helps me to not want to chuck my phone some days lol

What do you feel is the most valuable lesson you’ve learned while working in the adult industry?

Knowing who you are, being confident in who you are, and knowing how to set boundaries and look out for yourself.

What traits do you think make you such a successful adult performer?

Taking good care of myself physically and mentally and having a balanced life outside of work allows me to really bring as much as I can to the table as a performer. I love the athletics of sex, being engaged and present, and striking a balance between not overthinking it or taking it too seriously while simultaneously giving it my best helps me come from a place of confidence in my performance. And of course having a good attitude on set makes the day better for everyone and that goes a long way to success!

Do you rewatch your own work? If so, what have you learned from it?

I can’t say I’ve watched every scene I’ve released but I do rewatch my own work sometimes. You can always learn something from watching your own work with anything but I’m usually pretty happy with it and it’s not something I obsess over critically. To be honest, I mostly watch the scenes that I know the acting was hilarious and I had a fun time shooting just to see how it all turned out.

What are some things studios can do to improve the on-set experience for pornstars?

I would say efficiency is what I appreciate most on a set. There’s always room for improvement and some absolutely exceed in this area, and I personally strive for efficiency. So, anything anyone can do to improve in that area and let everyone be on the same page while creating quality and caring about quality will always be a win. And be nice. That always makes the experience better, be nice and have fun. I feel very fortunate for having great on-set experiences.

Tell your fans what upcoming projects you are working on.

There’s always exciting projects coming up! My first Slayed scene [has been released] with Vanna Bardot, and I’m not sure which of these I’m allowed to talk about but I have more Brazzers scenes that are yet to be released, I’ve had the wonderful opportunity of working more for Evil Angel and Elegant Angel, I will be shooting for Mike Adriano for the first time soon, and a lot of scenes in general all the time so follow me to see what I’m up to!
