Former 'Harry Potter' star says OnlyFans earnings outpace her acting career
Actress Jessie Cave disclosed that her OnlyFans subscription service has generated more income in a year than her entire acting career, including a single-day earnings report of £15,000.
Jessie Cave, known for playing Lavender Brown in the final three Harry Potter films, revealed in a recent interview that her OnlyFans account now brings in more money than she ever earned from acting, including a single-day haul of £15,000 (just over $20,000). She joined the subscription platform in 2025, setting a £6 monthly price for followers but relying heavily on paid private messages for the bulk of her income. After a stretch of scarce auditions and a “complete desperation” over finances, the earnings have allowed her and her long-time partner Alfie Brown, the parents of four children, to afford childcare and avoid low-wage jobs.
Cave explained that her content focuses on hair-related fetish material, always clothed, and she justifies it by emphasizing the hair as the main feature. She said the financial boost has been “life-saving” and has helped her feel seen after years of feeling invisible as a mother of four.
