Career timeline
A name change marked a new professional chapter
Céline Tran became internationally known under the stage name Katsuni before leaving adult performance in 2013. In a March 2018 Europe 1 interview, she discussed that career while introducing her memoir. The transition did not mean presenting the earlier work as someone else’s life. She described writing about an experience that had included both personal value and difficulty, with space for more complexity than a short interview answer allows.

The memoir has a verifiable publishing record
Fayard published Ne dis pas que tu aimes ça on March 7, 2018. The publisher identifies it as testimony and memoir, with 252 pages. Its description places Tran’s search for freedom across work, sport and books at the center of the narrative. The publication is a concrete milestone in her move into authorship, distinct from an online claim that someone intends to write a life story.

Physical training opened a different performance route
In a 2016 Eklecty-City interview, Tran described her background as Franco-Vietnamese and discussed pursuing acting, writing and physical training. She also listed ambitions ranging from further martial-arts progress to a motorcycle license and learning Mandarin. Those ambitions belong to that dated conversation; they are not all completed achievements. What the interview establishes is the breadth of the professional direction she was exploring after retiring her former stage identity.

Books became more than a one-off project
Fayard’s author biography identifies Tran as an author and performer and names Heartbreaker alongside her memoir. It also records her work directing the Porn’Pop collection and her involvement in the OPEN organization’s Jeunesse et porno campaign. The publisher’s profile is useful for those stated roles. It is not a basis for assuming qualifications or outcomes beyond the work the publisher actually names.
A public account that rejects a simple label
Tran’s Europe 1 interview emphasized that adult films are constructed fiction, a distinction she considered important in discussions of the industry. Her subsequent author profile and publishing credits make clear that explaining the subject became part of her public work. Read together, the records show an actor who added writing, public discussion and editorial responsibilities to her career. The useful biography is the sequence of documented projects, rather than a list of supposed private revelations.
