It's a well-known fact that not all actors become rich, even after appearing in some of the world's biggest movies. Just last week, to give one example, Sean Astin, who played Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, revealed that he was paid so little for those incredibly popular and beloved films that he was forced to sell his house.
Although her role wasn't as prominent, Jessie Cave, who played Lavender Brown in three Harry Potter movies, revealed last year that she had changed careers after renovating her home, which had left her with significant debt. She had decided to try her hand at OnlyFans instead.
She focused on appealing to people with a so-called "hair fetish" rather than nudity, and now she tells The Times that in 40 weeks, it has earned her more money than her entire acting career did. In just one day, she earned enough money to pay off all her debts, and now she calls it something that "genuinely saved our lives."
Cave admits, however, that it has also come at a personal cost for her, as she no longer gets to attend Harry Potter conventions and similar events as often, with her OnlyFans account reportedly being the reason.
