In an interview, the actress talked about her childhood, her husband, her earnings in the porn industry and much more.
23-year-old pornographic actress and erotic model Yulia Romanova, known as Eva Elfi, came to the show of Russian journalist and TV presenter Irina Shikhman* “And talk?” Eva is the winner of the AVN Awards in the category “Best New Foreign Starlet” (2021). AVN Awards is a film award of the American magazine AVN (Adult Video News), awarded for achievements in the creation of porn films.
The conversation, of course, concerned Eva’s work. When Irina asked how Julia got into the adult film industry in the first place, Eva replied that since childhood she had loved being on stage and playing in the theater, but her parents were not ready to pay for acting education. When she moved to Moscow, she began acting on television in various extras, for example, in the “Hour of Judgment” on REN TV. A little later, Eva came across an agency from the Czech Republic on the Internet, which was looking for photo models.
“It turned out to be a porn agency. They offered me a job. The condition was this: I have to work as a nude model. I say, “Okay, it suits me,”” Eva said. However, when the girl arrived in the Czech Republic, it turned out that she also had to make a video. “I was deceived, I wasn’t ready for this,” the actress confessed. But, despite this, Eva still decided. That’s how her career in the adult industry began.
Also during the interview, the girl said that during her first visit to America, where she and her husband were invited to a party of porn actors, Eva felt awkward at first. “I felt out of place because you look at all the American actresses โ they have silicone breasts, silicone bottoms, they’re all so big. And I feel like a schoolgirl came, and I don’t fit in at all,” Eva confessed. Eva and her husband are currently engaged in a citizenship change. They plan to get a green card to America on a talent visa.
Yulia was born and raised in Omsk. After school, the girl met her future husband Artyom. According to Eva, Artyom attracted her because he was “one of the smartest people” the actress had ever met. Artyom graduated from high school with a gold medal, received a red law degree at the institute, and then completed his master’s degree.
In 2018, the couple moved to Moscow, where Eva enrolled at the Faculty of Journalism. Elfi says that this training has helped her a lot as a future blogger. In the same year, 2018, Eva tried herself as an erotic model for the first time, and after that she began acting in adult films.
In 2019, Elfi created a channel on the porn site Pornhub. Her first uploaded video gained over 53 million views in a year, and by the end of 2020, Eva took fourth place in the Pornhub rankings, becoming one of the most popular actresses on the site. Since February 2020, the actress has been running a YouTube channel where she shares secrets from the world of the sex industry with subscribers, as well as gives advice on this topic.
As for Eva’s work, she only shoots with her husband. According to the couple, this was their original agreement. Eva and Artyom decided that if they starred with other actors, their relationship could collapse. Neither Eva nor her husband are ready for children yet, as, according to the actress, this is a big responsibility. “So far, I’m leaning more towards the dog,” laughs Elphy.
By the way, money is a good motivation for a couple to continue working in the adult industry. As a lawyer, Eva’s husband earned 25-30 thousand rubles a month. For their first shoot together, the couple received $ 200, and now they have about 170 thousand dollars a month coming out. They spend the money on travel and their parents, who still live in Omsk.
Eva’s main achievements in her work are that she is actively developing not only as a porn actress, but also as a media personality, and also runs her own YouTube channel. So Eva wants to show that a porn actress is just a job. “People don’t understand that it’s a profession, that it’s a different job. It’s not sex with random people, it’s sex with actors,” says Elfi.
The girl admitted that subscribers often thank her for the content she makes. “Watching porn in any case causes positive emotions, helps a person cope with stress,” Eva believes.
