Harry Potter star joins OnlyFans to ‘get out of debt’

Harry Potter cast member Jessie Cave has announced she has launched an OnlyFans account where she’ll share “sensual” videos of her hair.

The actor, 37, appeared as Hogwarts student and Ron Weasley’s brief girlfriend Lavender Brown in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as well as both Deathly Hallows films.

Cave, who clarified her OnlyFans is “not a sexual one” explained that she plans to stay on the platform for a year to “get out of debt” and refurbish her house.

Speaking on her Before We Break Up Again podcast, Cave said: “I’m launching an OnlyFans, it’s not a sexual one. It’s a fetish. Fetish doesn’t necessarily mean sexual.”

The actor explained in an Instagram video that she’ll be offering subscribers “the best quality hair sounds” and sharing “very sensual stuff” on her account.

On her Substack, Brown further explained her need to start an OnlyFans account, writing: “One year. I’ll try for one year. My aim? To get the house safe, cover the arsenic/lead wallpaper, build a new roof etc.

“My aim? To get out of debt. My aim? To empower myself? To prove to those in the past who have misjudged me that I’m not so sweet? To put time into something I never invested in before: self-love.

“Were my years of Harry Potter conventions in fact research?” Cave added. “[It feels] like I’m doing something naughty, something a little f***ed up. I like that. Ripping up the good little actress rule book.”

OnlyFans has proved a popular social media platform for celebrities to boost their income. Last year, Lily Allen revealed she makes more money sharing foot pictures on the site than from Spotify music streams.

“Imagine being an artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify but earning more money from having 1000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet,” Allen shared online. “Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”

Celebrities such as Iggy Azalea, Tana Mongeau and Tyga also all post content on the site for their fee-paying subscribers.

Last year, John Cena surprised fans by announcing he had joined OnlyFans. However, the account was not what it seemed as was in fact promoting his comedy film Ricky Stanicky.

On the account, Cena appeared to be keeping up the publicity stunt by posting sexually suggestive captions to lure in subscribers.

“Anyone want to hit this one more time?” read one caption. “How deep can it go?” asked another.
