Where is adult movie star Sasha Grey now?

Marina Ann Hantzis, aka Sasha Grey, was just 18 years old when she started doing adult movies in 2006. A year later, the magazine Rolling Stone already considered her one of the most famous stars in the industry.

Yet, in 2011 after more than a hundred movies, several AVNs (the Oscars for adult movies), and a great legacy, Sasha Grey decided to retire. She was 23 years old and had many cultural, professional, and personal ambitions.

And that's how the actress changed her life. The only thing she kept was her artistic name. This Californian girl knew that the name Sasha Grey had already become a recognizable brand in the entire world.

What most people don't know is that the 'Grey' in her artistic name is an homage to Oscar Wilde's character Dorian Grey. It gives us an idea of the cultural baggage this unique actress already had when she graduated high school.

In 2008, before even thinking of quitting, Sasha Grey starred in her first commercial film. It was 'The Girlfriend Experience' by Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh.

Two years later, she starred in six episodes of the successful series 'Entourage.' She played herself in a recurring role.

There were two years in which Sasha refrained from acting, although she officially retired in 2011.

It was worth waiting for the official retirement just to see the original and hilarious way she said goodbye to fans on Facebook. Let's just say that the message didn't agree with everyone's taste.

In her Facebook post, we could read: "It's become quite evident that my time as an adult film performer has expired. Don't worry, I haven't found Jesus. One thing is for certain, I'm proud to say I have no regrets, I genuinely feel I accomplished everything I could as a performer."

Over a decade has passed since Sasha Grey's retirement, and even if she's not as famous as she used to be at the beginning of her career, the multifaceted artist has done it all.

Sasha Grey has collaborated on music albums, worked as a DJ, published a couple of books, and partnered up with some fashion brands.

As a writer, Sasha Grey exploited her most sensual side with the saga 'The Juliette Society,' including 'The Janus Chamber: The Juliette Society, Book II' in 2016 and 'The Juliette Society, Book III: The Mismade Girl' in 2018.

In her own words, the main point of her novels is to make clear that "women are the ones in control."

She has also dived into the music world, collaborating with artists like 'Death in Vegas' and 'Infected Mushroom'. Those projects have consolidated her position as a known DJ.

In fact, we have seen her name on the line-ups of the most famous DJ festivals in the world.

However, her past is always coming back to chase her. As Grey says, "there are still people expecting me to show up on stage without my bra on." But she knows exactly what to say to them: "Everything you want to see is already on the internet."

Her work as a DJ and an author has pushed back her acting career. The last time we saw the actress on the big screen was along with Elijah Wood in 'Open Windows' (2014), a movie directed by the Spanish director Nacho Vigalondo.

The artist also has time to spend endless hours on live streams on Twitch.

Yes, Sasha Grey has a Twitch channel with more than one million subscribers. She does all kinds of things there, but she especially spends countless hours playing video games like 'League of Legends' and 'Elden Ring.'

But that's not all. Together with @Dumbfoundead, Sasha co-hosts a show called 'Grey Area' that is permanently streamed on the platform Venn.

In 'Grey Area', Sasha Grey has personal and intimate conversations with experts on relationships, love, and social media.

If you want to keep up with every single aspect of Sasha's life, you just have to go to her Instagram account. The actress / DJ / writer is working non-stop and having lots of fun. She is a natural talent with self-imposed standards who enjoys everything she does.
