The year 2019 is the breakout year for the model, photographer turned actress Julia Fox. The 29-year-old rising has been getting a lot of praise for her big-screen debut in the movie Uncut Gems alongside actor Adam Sandler.

The role has landed her a  breakout actress nomination at the Gotham Awards.

Julia Fox, who portrays the character Julia, a feisty jewelry saleswoman who is having an affair with her gambling addict boss, revealed in an interview with Hollywood Reporter that she worked in the sex industry “doing S&M stuff.”

"I worked at a shoe store on 86th Street called Orva, in the hosiery department because nobody went there. That's where they put me because I was too incapable of doing anything. Then I worked in an ice cream shop and a pastry shop. Then I got into the sex industry, doing S&M stuff.”

She went on to explain, 

“I heard about another girl who was doing it and that there was no sex or nudity. It was role-playing.”

Fox, 29, also shared that she had staged an art show with paintings using her own blood.

Before her acting career took off, she had directed a short film Fantasy Girls, which is about a group of teenage girls living in Reno, Nevada, and sex trafficking.
