2023 Rewind: Ex-Disney Actor Dan Benson Happy to Have Found Niche on OnlyFans
READ TIME: 8 MIN.
That was easier said then done, and the attention these videos brought Benson nearly cost him the job he pursued after retiring from acting. "It had a very big negative impact on my life. Eventually, I decided to stop fighting against it, and instead go the other direction and completely lean into it and build out a page and instead of letting these people sell my privacy by, you know what I mean? I decided to say, 'All right, screw you, I'm gonna sell it myself.'"
He did so with his OnlyFans account where he wrote: "you wanted to see me naked, your wish has been granted ;)."
Nor does he regret his decision. "I've been having a tremendous amount of fun," Benson shared. "I met a lot of great people in the adult entertainment industry, and it's changed my life for the better."
"Sometimes you just have to roll with the punches," he added. "Don't do what I do, necessarily, unless you want to."
Benson also says that his success on OnlyFans is due in part to Gay Twitter. "Never underestimate the power of gay Twitter," he posted this past June.
On OnlyFans, he has 95 posts and 48,000 likes.
He also clarified that he will use this platform to further LGBTQ+ causes. "I'll be using this new found resurgence to fight for and support the LGBTQ communities that deserve so much better from this country. Drop a link to your favorite organizations below."
In one Instagram post, he promised to give his entire proceeds from the month of September to the Trevor Project.
Check out his Instagram pics where he pushes the platform's envelope:
