Dan Benson's Transition to OnlyFans
Former Disney Channel star Dan Benson, popular for his role as Zeke Beakerman in "Wizards of Waverly Place," has turned to OnlyFans to take control of his adult content after private nude photos leaked online. The actor, who appeared in 31 episodes of the series from 2007 to 2012, has embraced a new avenue in adult entertainment, citing frustrations with the unauthorized dissemination of his images.
Response to Leaked Images
The leaks of his private images greatly influenced Benson's decision to manage his content independently. "Realizing it was pointless to prevent my leaked nudes from spreading, I joined OnlyFans to manage my content and keep all the earnings,” Benson openly shared. This move came as his attempts to remove the images from the internet were fruitless, with reappearances becoming a common issue.
OnlyFans Launch and Subscription Details
Benson initiated his OnlyFans account in July 2022, setting a monthly subscription fee at $20. This platform not only offers him a chance to handle his content but also to directly benefit from it financially.
Impact on Career Path and Public Persona
The actor acknowledges that his new career path as an adult content creator might affect potential re-engagements with mainstream projects, such as the anticipated "Wizards of Waverly Place" reboot. Reflective of his dramatic career transformation, Benson remarks on his Instagram, "I waited like 13 years and now, 'ok, here we go, let’s fire it up. Dan becomes a porn star - let’s reboot Wizards again.'" Despite this, he notes a "tremendously positive experience" in the adult industry and mentions how it has significantly bettered his life.
Personal Reflection and Moving Forward
In the wake of privacy breaches and the shift in his career, Benson continues to maintain a good humor about the situation. His OnlyFans profile aptly summarises his journey: "Actor best known for my role as 'Zeke' on Disney Channels Wizards of Waverly Place. Now I’m embracing my wild side." He also jokes about the future of his character from the Disney series, pondering whether Zeke could be recast or written out due to his current pursuits.
