Wizards of Waverly Place star Dan Benson turned to OnlyFans after rising to fame as Zeke on the iconic Disney show – confessing he ‘makes all the money’ from his sex work
Ex-Disney child star Dan Benson has embraced his title as a “sex worker” – and says he’s earned a “life changing amount” from OnlyFans.
After rising to fame as Zeke Beakerman in Wizards of Waverly Place, Dan went on to star in shows like Rick and Morty and Phil of the Future – but in 2018 decided to quit acting to pursue a career in porn.
The actor confessed on the Vulnerable Podcast that despite being a straight guy, he leans into the gay niche on the site, and isn’t afraid to lean into the kinky world of bondage with his racy snaps.

Over on Instagram, Dan can often be seen naked and tied up, rocking leather harnesses and teasing fans with his rippling abs.
Opening up about his earnings from the site, Dan explained: “I absolutely had a choice. I just felt like it was a massive opportunity. OnlyFans has really changed the landscape of sex work, at least online.
“It creates an opportunity for people like myself to directly benefit financially from all of the content that we create. The only thing that we have to pay is a 20% platform fee to OnlyFans, or whatever platform you use.”
Dan went on: “I don’t have to pay managers, I don’t have to pay agents, producers. We’re not just talent that gets a cut after everyone’s taken most of the money. I make all the money from it.”
The actor has benefitted so hugely from the site that he decided to donate a month’s earnings to The Trevor Project – a US nonprofit focused on suicide prevention among the LGBTQ+ community.
He added: “I just chose, for one month, to give all of my OnlyFans money that I raised that month to The Trevor Project. It just felt right, because I’d had so much success that year and it changed my life so much.

“The gay and trans community was so supportive of me through this entire process, even knowing I’m straight but still accepting me and being incredibly kind to me… I felt like I wanted to do something just to give back a little bit.”
Dan said he went from being “the goofy one” on Wizards of Waverly Place to being recognised by name at Disneyland for his sexy content.
