Riley Reid confirms huge new career move after quitting filming for adult industry

Riley Reid is arguably a household name in the world of adult film

Riley Reid has revealed her surprising career ambitions after 15 years in the adult film industry.

The 33-year-old took the plunge into the world of pornography back in 2010 and has since become one the biggest names in the world of x-rated content, earning herself a spot in the XRCO and AVN Hall of Fame for her work in the industry.

Nowadays Reid appears to be transitioning away from mainstream adult content, previously revealing in a podcast that she no longer shoots 'boy-girl porn' as well as only making spicy content for her own website and OnlyFans account.

And it seems the adult actress has grand ambitions beyond the world of x-rated content.

During an recent interview on Ketone-IQ's Fast Ones series, Reid confirmed her huge future career ambitions, which includes transitioning into making people laugh rather than orgasm.

"In the next 15 years I actually want to get into comedy... I wanna do a cartoon." she revealed.

Which isn't too much of a bizarre leap, considering that developing a thick skin is a must have for both adult actors and comedians.

Explaining the reason why she'd be swapping the bedroom for the stand-up stage, she continued: "I realise I'm getting older and I can't do porn forever and I'd rather quit before people are like 'oh my god did you see Riley Reid.'

"I think it will leave them wanting more on a high note. So my goal is to exit and start doing live comedy, as well as getting into TV animation and voice acting. That's my goal."

Although Reid hasn't left her pornographic career behind totally, she has begun to diversify her income streams over recent years, with creating her own agency, and clothing line.

"I'm always kind of throwing myself in different kind of projects," she added.

Could you be seeing Riley Reid on stage at a comedy club near you anytime soon? Watch this space.

The transition away from x-rated content shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, given the fact that Reid has made no secret of what it's really like to work as an adult performer over the years.

Reid - whose real name is Ashley Matthews - has previously spoken about her experiences of dating before meeting her husband and separating herself from her stage name in relationships.

She's also been candid about how her family really felt about her choice in career, revealing she was initially 'disowned' for making explicit content.
