Actor Bella Thorne has scooped a Pornhub award for her first ever adult film, having recently ditched her Disney career to pursue new X-rated adventures.

After starring in the likes of Disney's Shake it Up and HBO drama Big Love, Thorne decided to branch out to the adult film industry with her directorial debut, Her & Him - a short film described by Pornhub vice president Corey Price as 'a modernistic, sexually explicit Romeo and Juliet-like depiction of two star-crossed lovers who have an unbridled sexual longing for each other'.

Made as part of Pornhub's Visionaries Directors Club series, the film stars well-known porn stars Small Hands and Abella Danger.

It was previewed in Germany last month at the Oldenburg Film Festival and is now available to watch on Pornhub.

And the move seems to have paid off, as the 22-year-old has won herself the prestigious Vision Award at the 2nd Annual Pornhub Awards.

Thorne announced that she would be directing an adult film for Pornhub earlier this year, sharing the news in a video explaining her inspiration behind the project.

"My vision originally actually was to make a Christmas horror movie. And instead I made a very beautiful, ethereal, neon type of vision," she said in the clip.

"Sometimes you got into it thinking that you want something specific, and then you totally change your mind and you don't go with that idea at all."

Thorne continued: "What inspired me to do the movie was basically thinking about this relationship between a male and a female and this fight over dominance and how much that relates to us in our general world besides in a sexual scenario."

She added: "Well, the process of shooting was quite interesting because we had real-life f***ing on set, which I have never shot before.

"Also this was my first short in general, so it was quite in interesting experience to have the first thing that I really fully directed have so much sex in it.

"It is quite a fun environment."

At the Pornhub Awards, other big winners included Abella Danger (Most Popular Female Pornstar By Women), Johnny Sins (Most Popular Male Pornstar By Women), Lana Rhoades (Most Popular Female Performer) and Jordi El Nino Polla (Most Popular Male Performer).
