Mia Khalifa (born February 10, 1993) is a Lebanese pornographic actress.
Early life
Khalifa was born in Lebanon and she moved to the United States in 2000. She moved to Maryland as a teenager. She graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history.
Career
Khalifa entered the adult film industry in October 2014. On December 28, 2014, Pornhub revealed that she was the #1 ranked porn star on their website. She took the top prize from veteran Lisa Ann, who recently retired from the adult movie industry. Khalifa currently resides in Miami but was born in Lebanon.
Personal life
Khalifa married an American man in February 2011 shortly after she turned 18. She has the opening lines of the Lebanese National Anthem tattooed on her left arm and the Lebanese Forces cross tattooed on her right wrist.
Controversy
In her most popular video to date, she plays up her Islamic past by wearing a hijab. Many people were offended and think she was purposely putting the religion in a bad light. The fact that she now considers herself Christian further fans those flames. She has also received death threats from Lebanese, Arabs, and Muslims.
References in popular culture
On January 6, 2014, Timeflies released a song titled "Mia Khalifa" in homage to her.
