I was a Disney child actor – now I’m a porn star making thousands on OnlyFans
A FORMER Disney star has opened up on his new life as a porn star after raking in the cash on OnlyFans.
Wizards of Waverly Place actor Dan Benson, 35, dished the dirt on his new “insane life choices” – and admitted he now considers himself a “sex worker.”
Talking to fellow TV star Christy Carlson Romano on her video podcast series Vulnerable, Dan, who played Zeke on the TV series, opened up on his career switch.
He told the Evens Stevens star host: “You have to think about it critically as it will have long lasting implications.”
Dan added: “I chose something I felt was right for me in my life.”
He charges users £15 to access his account, with the promise: “If you wanted to see me naked – your wish has been granted.”
He told the host: “It creates an opportunity for us to financially benefit from the content we create.
“The only thing we have to pay is a 20 per cent platform fee to OnlyFans.”
Addressing his earnings, Dan told how he “makes all the money” due to the lack of middle men and opened up on how the sum was “life changing.”
After Wizards of Waverly Place finished, Dan landed very few roles and only got a minor screen credits.
But during his time on the kids’ TV show, he said nude photos of women would often end up in his inbox.
Dan said he sometimes sent explicit images of himself back.
He previously told his TikTok followers some of the nude pictures and videos he had sent ended up on adult websites.
He said: “Eventually, I decided to stop fighting against it and instead go the other direction and completely lean into and build out a page.
“And instead of letting these people sell my privacy, I decided to say, ‘Alright, screw you. I’m gonna sell it myself’.
“So I started that adventure year and I’ve been having a tremendous amount of fun, I’ve met a lot of great people in the adult entertainment industry.
“It’s changed my life for the better.”
Dan is now unrecognisable from his days playing nerdy character Zeke with a beard and chiseled muscles.
The actor was 20 when he bagged the role on the hit Disney Channel show in 2007.
Dan, from Missouri, appeared in all four series until the programme wrapped up in 2012.
