'I Want to Have Less Shame About It': Harry Potter Star Jessie Cave Says It Was 'Embarrassing' Starting OnlyFans to Pay Bills
Harry Potter movie star Jessie Cave has said it was "embarrassing" to announce she had launched an OnlyFans account to pay her family's bills, though reportedly earned £15,000 (around $20,000) in a single day.
Actress Jessie Cave, known for her role as Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter movies, has admitted that starting an OnlyFans account to support her family's finances was initially embarrassing. The 39-year-old earned £15,000 ($20,000) in one day, but she ended up earning more money from the platform than she did from her entire acting career.
Cave explained on the U.K. talk show This Morning that it was embarrassing because she would have preferred to find a traditional job, but supporting her four children required a lot of financial resources. Despite facing stigma and even being banned from attending a Harry Potter convention for being active on OnlyFans, Cave now regularly posts content, including ASMR-style hair brushing videos.
She credits OnlyFans for helping her repay money lost on an unsuccessful Edinburgh Fringe comedy show and now supports her family by enabling them to attend school. Cave hopes to reduce the shame associated with using the platform and encourages others to explore unconventional ways of making a living, such as her own ASMR-style content.
