Jessie Cave, most famous for her role as Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter film franchise, has embarked on a dramatic and unexpected career shift. The actress recently announced she is an official member of OnlyFans, a paid membership site renowned for enabling content creators to have an immediate avenue to monetize their audiences.
Unlike the typical content associated with the site, Cave’s venture is unique, as she is offering a niche she classifies as “sensual” but nonsexual hair fetish content. Think hair brushing sounds and similar soothing activities aimed at a specific audience.
Cave explained her motives in an honest revelation on her podcast.
“It’s not a sex one,”
she insisted, underlining the wholesome nature of her content.
“I will be offering the highest quality sound effects, very sensual-type things.”
The motivation behind her decision is practical: to fund debts and finance renovations to her house. The move is a testament to how websites such as OnlyFans have become a cash safety net for content creators, with the website paying content creators $6.63 billion in 2023, industry data reveals.
Cave is no stranger to diversifying her career. Besides her Harry Potter stardom, she’s built a varied career as an actress, comedian, author, and podcaster. She appeared in Black Mirror and Trollied performed stand-up on the Edinburgh Fringe and wrote novels such as Love Sick and Sunset. This new chapter on OnlyFans marries her creative side with a pragmatic approach to her finances.
Reflecting on her choice, Cave said,
“I’m doing it to clear my debts and refurbish my house. It is a bit of a leap, but I’m eager to take on this new journey.”
Her foray into OnlyFans is part of a wider trend of performers and artists using the site to connect with fans in new and unexpected ways and demonstrates that there is more to her than Hogwarts and magic wands.
