Some news that should come as a shock to precisely no one: Porn stars are people too.

An Imgur account has been posting images taken from various high profile porn actors’ social media, with captions that highlighted the very ‘normal’ things they were up to.

For those who might not be aware, porn actors can enjoy the more mundane aspects of day-to-day life just as much as the rest of us - several of the actors featured have actually been vocal in opening up the debate around porn and encouraging discussions on sex positivity.

Check out the images and ask yourself if you could tell, without knowing who they are, what they do for a living:

Tori Black is a fan of the bathroom mirror selfie as much as the next person

Remy Lecroix likes hanging out at home with her dog

Mia Malkova goes on lovely holidays with her husband (also a porn star)

Stoya enjoys duvet days with her cat

Stella Cox spends Sunday evenings at home with a nice cup of tea

And Jenna Haze loves hanging out with her girlfriends

If you read interviews with porn stars where they talk about their outside interests, you’ll probably realise they’re similar to your own. In an interview with Buzzfeed, Tasha Reign, who starred in Laguna Beach before being noticed by Playboy, said she loved “Pilates, yoga and keeping fit” plus travelling and going to the cinema.

Meanwhile in an interview with Vocativ in 2014, Jessica Drake explained one of the biggest misconceptions about porn stars was that it’s "one big party".

"They think we all drink, we all do drugs and we all have sex with everyone, and that’s really not how it is. I would say the majority of the time, I hesitate to use the word “normal,” but we’re pretty normal people," she said.
