Another celebrity is joining the world of OnlyFans, and it’s one of the most recognisable TV stars of the 1990s: Baywatch actress Erika Eleniak.
The 56-year-old TV icon, known for playing Shauni McClain in the hit series from 1989 to 1992, delighted fans by announcing her new venture with the subscription service on Monday.
In news that will further delight the masses, she promised plenty of pictures of her feet and teased that people will get to explore a side of her that they have ‘never seen’.
Announcing her unexpected comeback on Instagram, she said: ‘At 56, I’m embracing exactly who I am today. From Baywatch to Playboy and beyond.
‘You’ve been with me through so many chapters of my life and career. Now I’m opening up a brand-new one.
‘This is about having fun, being unfiltered, sharing exclusive photos and videos, and most importantly, connecting directly with you. If you’ve ever wanted to talk to me personally, now you can.’
Erika, who charges $10 (£7.40) a month for access to her content, said fans can spend ‘genuine one-on-one time’ with her if they subscribe to her account on the platform, which is primarily known for its explicit content.
Fans can also pay her for custom content, with the actress offering things like ‘playful roleplay requests’, ‘flirty personal videos’ and ‘specific outfits or dresses’.
‘I basically grew up on the beach in a red swimsuit, so this feels like coming full circle – except now I’m calling the shots,’ Erika told TMZ.
‘Fans are getting my real life, my personal photos and videos, plenty of beach days and, yes, the feet everyone keeps asking about.
‘I’ve been Erika from Baywatch for decades, but OnlyFans gets a side of me people haven’t seen.
‘It’s personal, playful and unfiltered – and if you came for the bare feet in the sand, I promise you won’t be disappointed.’
The response from fans has, understandably, been immense, with many posting on Instagram begging for more details to sign up, and more fire emojis than one could possibly count.
OnlyFans has become a huge source of additional income for celebrities in recent years, with former Harry Potter actress Jessie Cave speaking out this week about how she makes more money from the subscription service now than she did in the hit films.
Jessie, 39, rose to fame playing Lavender Brown in Harry Potter as a teenage star, but now, as a mother-of-four, she earns a large chunk of money by posting on the platform.
However, she shares fully clothed ‘hair content’, in which she brushes her hip-length mane while dressed up as characters, including her wizarding alter-ego.
Former Bond girl Denise Richards and fellow actress Jaime Pressly are among other stars who have joined the platform, as well as 85-year-old Knots Landing actress Donna Mills.
Erika had her first film role at age 12 when she appeared in ET The Extra-Terrestrial as the girl kissed by main character Elliott Taylor (Henry Thomas) in a classroom scene.
She has also appeared in other films, including The Blob (1988) and The Beverly Hillbillies (1993).
