![]() ![]() So instead of the stripper putting herself through college you're a former porn star trying to put herself through life. I feel like I'm at the place where most people are when they're just out of college, or getting ready to go to college, and figuring out what it is they really want to do with their lives. I'm trying not to put so much pressure on myself to figure out what the answer is. So no, I've thought about the sex-positive speaker route but I've also thought about a lot of things. I'm trying to find out where my place is in this world and it's confusing and it's changing all the time. I don't know if it's like this for any other girl who leaves the adult industry, but for me, I'm trying to find myself. Since I retired three years ago it's been a trip. I could see why you'd want to shy away from that, but maybe six months ago you were thinking about becoming a sex-positive speaker/instructor. It gives me a chance to be Michelle Sinclair. ![]() They don't know who I am, and that gives me a chance to be someone different. You can't take away everything I've done, but it made me feel like people who are watching this and don't know Belladonna will just see some woman. There's a lot of me having sex out there. The second time around there wasn't as much dialogue, and in the end the sex scene didn't even make the cut…which I'm very happy about. They were really happy because I was super prepared and nailed it, but they ended up recasting the guy, Mars Crain, so we had to reshoot. I originally filmed a great scene with Joaquin and another guy, Mars Crain. I ended up reading and Paul loved it, so he had me do a reading with Joaquin. There wasn't meant to be a lot of focus on us having sex, which was another reason why I thought I could do it. Then there's a bit where Joaquin walks in the door and sees me and Tariq fucking in his office. No! You would say that! It was just a dialogue part, and there was a ton of dialogue, actually. I went in and met with a woman named Cassandra, and she videotaped me reading the part for Clancy Sherlock. Ha! Well, that depends on the porn company, I think. How similar was the real Hollywood casting couch to the one used in the porn world? I wanted to be a part of the film-it's Paul Thomas Anderson and he's an amazing filmmaker! So I thought about it, and figured if it wasn't a porn scene and instead maybe a softcore, tasteful-looking thing, then maybe I could do it. Are you crazy?" He couldn't understand how I could say no. She relayed the message, and Paul was like, "What are you talking about? This is a major motion picture. At that point I was just not interested in being naked on camera or doing the things that I am known for, so I told her I wasn't interested in that part, but maybe they could find something different. Then I asked what kind of scene it was, and of course it was a sex scene. Great." When they called I found out it was a Paul Thomas Anderson movie and I started freaking out. ![]() Is it OK if I give the casting director your information? Because they're interested in casting you for a part in this movie." I was like, "Sure. I definitely feel like I've found a life partner.Īs for Inherent Vice, I'm friends with Joaquin Phoenix and randomly got a text from him saying: "I'm working on this project. You and I talked about me wanting romance when we did our last interview, and I never thought it would be like this. Michelle Sinclair: Well, I'm healthy, my daughter is well, and I have an amazing, incredible partner. Two years later, how are you? And how the hell did you end up in a Paul Thomas Anderson movie? VICE: At the end of the final pat of your Skinema episode you walked off into the sunset, unsure what was next. Her legions of adoring fans have no doubt been wondering what she's been doing since leaving the biz, and I'm sure they were shocked to see her pop up, fully clothed, in the trailer for Inherent Vice, so I decided to call up the star of Dick Sauce and My Ass Is Haunted to discuss how this new chapter in her life is going. She went on to tell me that she had landed a meaty role in PTA's stoner gumshoe flick Inherent Vice, which I like to describe as a reimagining of a Big Lewbowski prequel starring Joaquin Phoenix. Then one day out of the blue she texted me: "I have amazing news. During that time she mentioned a few possible new career paths: aerial silks performer, Cirque du Soleil acrobat, sexual instructor, and the list goes on.
