Getting Intimate: Andolini XXL
We go behind-the-scenes of his online life.
There's a lot to admire about Andolini XXL - one of the big winners at the Grabby Awards 2026 where he collected the trophies for Best Top and Actor of the Year.
I caught up with Andolini XXL for a behind-the-scenes look at his online life.
How did you first discover and start exploring the adult entertainment industry?
It’s actually pretty simple. After four years in an exclusive relationship with my partner, we decided to open up our relationship.
Some friends introduced me to X — Twitter at the time — as a kind of alternative to Grindr. I’ve always had an exhibitionist side, so naturally, I quickly enjoyed the platform. I started creating content, meeting people - one thing led to another until a studio noticed me and invited me to shoot with them.
At first, it really was all about having fun, discovering new things, enjoying myself, and exploring. Then, after a few years, I decided to make it my full-time career, embrace the XXL life, and leave my office job behind.
What was your relationship with your body like growing up? Were you always comfortable getting naked in front of other people?
Not at all! My teenage years were actually pretty tough in that respect.
I grew up in a rural area, in a fairly modest and private family. I didn’t have many friends at school, and I was also teased quite a lot, particularly about my body and my homosexuality, which at the time was mostly something other people assumed about me.
It was really later on, when I started working out, meeting people, and discovering more about who I was and what I liked, that I gradually became more confident in myself.
Today, I’m much more comfortable taking my clothes off.
You were one of the big winners at the 2026 Grabby Awards. How do you build on something like that? Do you set yourself new goals?
It was a huge surprise. I really wasn’t expecting it.
When I saw that I’d been nominated in several categories, I did have a little hope that I might come home with something — maybe for a group scene or a duo. But those two awards - Best Top and Actor of the Year - that was pretty incredible.
Once again, a huge thank you to the entire community who showed up and voted for me to make it happen!
That said, I haven’t really set myself any new goals. I’m enjoying the moment and, above all, continuing to do things that I genuinely enjoy.
I try to stay natural, keep talking and connecting with my community, and pay attention both to what I enjoy and what they enjoy. I think that’s also part of why things are working so well right now.
You never really know what tomorrow will bring, so I’m mostly trying to enjoy what’s happening today.
How has working in the adult industry influenced your relationship with your body and the way you experience intimacy?
I’m not sure the industry has fundamentally changed the way I see my body or the way I experience intimacy and sexuality in general.
Ultimately, I’m doing what I enjoy.
I don’t really play a character. I don’t try to be “too much” in front of the camera. I’ve always enjoyed dynamics involving dominance, for example, but a kind of dominance that is caring and consensual. A sort of gentle strength.
Of course, today, a lot of intimate moments are filmed. That inevitably creates a framework and adds some technical constraints - there’s a camera, different angles, sometimes people around you - but when it comes to my relationship with my body, with other people, or with myself, I don’t think it has changed things that much. If anything, I try to stay as natural as possible.
What projects do you have coming up over the next few months?
First of all, catching up on my OnlyFans scheduling!
More seriously, I do have a few projects in mind, but obviously, I can’t reveal everything just yet.
What I do know is that I want to keep growing my community and, above all, keep creating things that we genuinely enjoy.
I also want to continue my collaborations around sexual health, because that’s something that really matters to me. I feel like I can use my visibility to share information about sexual health that I wish I’d had access to when I was younger.
I recently had the opportunity to take part in a campaign for a French institution working on exactly these issues. The campaign is called “Kiffez-vous,” (Love yourself) and I actually think it sums up the message I want to share pretty well: Enjoy yourself. Be good to yourself.
Because when you start feeling good about who you are, a lot of other things can start falling into place too: everyday life, your relationships with others, your sexuality, your health.
Learning to love yourself isn’t always easy. Sometimes, it takes a hell of a lot of work. But I think it’s essential.
