HER father is a moviemaking legend and her mom a retired actress so it’s no surprise their daughter is following in their celluloid footsteps. But there is one major difference: Mikaela Spielberg is entering the world of porn – and she couldn’t be prouder.
Calling her decision a “positive, empowering choice” the 23-year-old daughter of Steven Spielberg (73) and Kate Capshaw (66) has nevertheless raised eyebrows with her bold choice.
“I’m not doing it out of an urge to hurt anybody or be spiteful, but because I want to honor my body in a way that’s lucrative,” she says in a candid recent interview with The Sun.
Mikaela, who’s based in Nashville, Tennessee, told her parents only a few weeks ago via Facebook Live and describes their reaction as intrigued but not upset.
Describing herself as a sexual creature, Mikaela says she grew frustrated with working in a “traditional” job – although it’s not clear what that was.
“I got really tired of not being able to capitalize on my body. And I also just got tired of working day today in a way that wasn’t satisfying my soul.”
She’s released several solo videos on the website Pornhub and says her main hope is to get to a point where things are lucrative enough that she’s not tied down financially.
“I realized there’s no shame in having a fascination with this industry and wanting to do something that’s safe, sane and consensual.”
She adds that for the first time she feels confident and empowered – feelings she didn’t think she’d have after being sexually abused as a child.
“I feel I’m able to ‘satisfy’ other people, but that feels good because it’s not in a way that makes me feel violated.”
