Drea de Matteo is amazed at how "excited" people are by her OnlyFans "granny porn".
The 52-year-old actress joined the adults-only subscription site after she was left on the verge of bankruptcy when acting work dried up during the COVID-19 pandemic as she refused to comply with vaccine mandates, and she's thrilled by the success she's had, clearing her debts, paying off her mortgage and now using the proceeds to fund her clothing line, ULTRAFREE.
She told Rolling Stone magazine: “People are really excited over granny porn.
"Now we’re out of the woods with our home, thank god, and now OnlyFans is completely funding ULTRAFREE.”
However, the former 'Sopranos' star admitted her high-profile adoption of the platform has made her a controversial figure, with many European fans "frowning" upon her decision.
She said: "I’ve never been in the spotlight. My personal life has never been up for question by anybody, because who f****** cares? When the OnlyFans thing came out, I was like, why the f*** does anyone gives a s*** about it? I thought I’d make a couple thousand dollars, get by. I did not know that it was going to be that explosive.
"The Christian conservatives think I’m a whore, a lot of Italians and a lot of 'Sopranos' fans frown upon what I’ve done. I get it. The liberals think I’m a piece of s*** because I didn’t comply to the vaccine mandate.
"I can’t win. I joke around like I’m a man without a country.”
Drea's popularity on the platform came as a particular surprise because she initially only signed up "as a joke".
She said: “The kids started joking around about it, and they were like, ‘Hey, why don’t you do this like as a joke?'
“And I was like, ‘All right, well, let’s do it.’ We were gonna do a podcast on OnlyFans, a really controversial podcast on there that we knew wasn’t gonna get banned for talking about touchy subjects. We thought, ‘Let’s put it behind the paywall, get a huge audience and do this here.’ And you know, maybe have someone rub my feet while we’re talking — so you make it OnlyFans friendly, you know what I mean?”
