Céline Tran

Celine Joëlle Tran was born on April 9, 1979 in Lyon, France. The daughter of a Vietnamese father and a French mother, Tran has an interesting background and career journey.

Tran began studying political science in his teens, but found himself inadequate in the field and dropped out. Then he turned to studying literature with the dream of teaching. Meanwhile, she also performed as a go-go dancer in concerts and thus attracted the attention of Penthouse magazine. The offer to feature adult art in the magazine seemed like a new and exciting opportunity for Tran.

Thus, he stepped into the porn industry in 2001 and stated that he found his first experience quite enjoyable.

Tran attended school and acted in films for two years. However, she eventually gave up on her teaching dreams and decided to pursue her career in the adult film industry full-time. She quickly began to attract attention, and in 2004 she was voted "the French's favorite porn actress" in a reader poll of the trade magazine Hot Vidéo. After this success, he decided to focus on his studies in the USA and went to America in 2005.

Tran, who had breast implants in 2006, became the first French actress to sign an exclusive contract with Digital Playground the same year. However, he was banned by the French judiciary from using his stage name "Katsumi". He was fined €20,000 in 2007 for violating this ban. Despite this obstacle, Tran continued to take off in her career, appearing in the 2008 film Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge, one of the most expensive porn films ever produced.

Tran's achievements were not limited to this. In 2011, she was ranked 14th on Complex magazine's "100 Hottest Porn Stars" list, and in the same year, she was ranked 3rd on the "Hottest Asian Porn Stars of All Time" list. In August 2013, he announced his retirement from the porn industry.
