Mia Khalifa

Mia Khalifa, born on February 10, 1993, in Beirut, Lebanon, is a Lebanese-American media personality and former adult film actress who captured global attention during her brief yet impactful tenure in the adult industry. With her striking brown eyes, jet-black hair, and bold persona, the Aquarius native moved to the United States in 2001, later embarking on a controversial career that began in October 2014 at the age of 21. Despite her short stint in adult films, which spanned from 2014 to 2018, Mia quickly rose to prominence, becoming one of the most searched performers on platforms like Pornhub. Her career, though lasting only a few months in active production, earned her an AVN Award, solidifying her status as a notable figure in the industry.

Mia Khalifa’s journey in the adult film world was marked by both fame and controversy, particularly due to a scene featuring her wearing a hijab, which sparked widespread debate and criticism, especially in the Middle East. Born into a conservative Lebanese family, her decision to enter the industry led to a rift with her relatives, who publicly disowned her. However, Mia’s tenure was short-lived, as she exited the adult film scene in early 2015 after just three months of active filming. During this time, she appeared in a handful of productions, yet her videos amassed billions of views, cementing her as a pop culture phenomenon. Despite her brief career, Mia’s influence endured, earning her the title of the most-searched actress on various adult platforms in subsequent years.

Since leaving the adult industry, Mia Khalifa has reinvented herself as a social media influencer, sports commentator, and advocate. With over 25 million Instagram followers, she engages her audience with content ranging from sports commentary to lifestyle insights. Her Lebanese heritage remains a significant part of her identity, reflected in tattoos of the Lebanese national anthem and the Lebanese Forces Cross. Mia has also been vocal about her experiences, shedding light on the exploitation within the adult industry and advocating for women’s rights and mental health awareness. Today, she continues to thrive as a multifaceted personality, leveraging her platform to inspire and educate while distancing herself from her past in adult entertainment.
