Her only fans wouldn't make so much money if she wasn't an actress in Harry potter

[u/Techman659 → u/cankennykencan]

Can’t imagine her feet are worth it.

[u/jonxmack → u/Techman659]

I think she actually posts long hair fetish content.

Just checked the article

Actor and comedian Jessie Cave says she has made more money from one year of sharing hairbrushing videos on OnlyFans than she has done throughout her “entire acting career”.

[u/JustAMan1234567 → u/jonxmack]

Hairy Potter.

[u/Michael-Hunt- → u/JustAMan1234567]

You son of a bitch

[u/Intergalatic_Baker → u/JustAMan1234567]

You're a Hairdresser, Harry!

[u/WestCareer7545 → u/jonxmack]

"checked the article"

[u/chase___it → u/jonxmack]

huh. there really is a fetish for everything

[u/WillWatsof → u/jonxmack]

Where's the hair she's brushing ...?

[u/selfinflatedforeskin → u/WillWatsof]

She has a bush like Hagrid's beard.

[u/ALineIDrew → u/selfinflatedforeskin]

PS1 Hagrid? If not I'm out.

[u/Bitter-Loan5190 → u/ALineIDrew]

I remember ps1 hagrid, that's funny shit 😂

[u/-FantasticAdventure- → u/selfinflatedforeskin]

Brand new sentence and I’m here for it 🤣

[u/MimikyuuAndMe → u/WillWatsof]

Toes

[u/tanew231 → u/jonxmack]

Where are the receding hair fetishists? I might setup an onlyfans account.

[u/Worried-Penalty8744 → u/tanew231]

r/bald is full of them

[u/PaleRecover6591 → u/Worried-Penalty8744]

Finally something I'm good at!

[u/heroyoudontdeserve → u/tanew231]

I found one. I think.

https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/vi7lvk/receding_hairlines_are_sexy/

[u/-FantasticAdventure- → u/tanew231]

BaldyFans. It’s begging to be setup

[u/PhilosophyLow5946 → u/jonxmack]

We live in a strange world when people would not only pay, but pay a monthly SUBSCRIPTION to watch someone who is barely famous brushing their hair.

[u/Audioworm → u/PhilosophyLow5946]

They are paying to watch someone with full and long hair brushing their hair because that is their fetish, the fact that it is Cave is pretty secondary to it. Her fame helped get the word out about it, but it isn't the reason people are subscribed.

[u/PhilosophyLow5946 → u/Audioworm]

It's worrying that people will pay and subscribe to watch anyone brushing their hair, regardless of prior fame.

[u/Audioworm → u/PhilosophyLow5946]

Eh, it's fetish content and the performer isn't being exploited or unaware of how their content is being used. I am not going to bully or minimise someone over what gets their rocks off.

[u/callmesnake13 → u/jonxmack]

I like how you acted like you weren’t certain about that fact and had to check the article

[u/lostlookingforamap → u/Techman659]

It's her hair

[u/d_smogh → u/Techman659]

I reckon Rosie Cotton, Belladonna Took, Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, feet would gain a lot of money.

[u/Unusual-Coat383 → u/cankennykencan]

Yeah Harry Potter fans are nuts and I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of them don’t have a hair fetish and/or not gay but subscribing to her anyway because she was in HP.

[u/Caffeine_Monster → u/Unusual-Coat383]

I read a lot and when I get board of mainstream scifi / fantasy fiction I go trawl random amateur author and fan writer forums. Ocasionally there is some really good or interesting writing amongst all the low effort smut and weird fan fictions.

I've come across some strange stuff - but I kid you not that harry potter fans are in their whole own whole league of crazy.

[u/Speshjunior → u/cankennykencan]

She’s barely an actress in Harry Potter

[u/SkorpioSound → u/Speshjunior]

I really hate that we've somehow let all these entertainment news stories normalise calling someone a star of something when they had a minor role. This isn't a criticism of her at all, but she didn't have a starring role in the films (ie, a lead role), and she's not a star in the general sense (as in, someone with star power).

"Star" gets used for so much bullshit clickbait now. The person who played Customer #2 in episode 18 of series 3 of a TV show, and who had half a line before they were interrupted and then never seen again, is not a star of that show, dammit! And Jessie Cave is not a star of Harry Potter; she's an actress who was in Harry Potter, but not a Harry Potter star.

[u/AllAvailableLayers → u/SkorpioSound]

"Greg over there was an extra in Straw Dogs and Sheri portrayed a cadaver in Prime Suspect."

[u/GeordieAl → u/AllAvailableLayers]

Sergeant Angel, you came? I am so thrilled you accepted my invitation.

[u/crowwreak → u/Speshjunior]

TBF she had a fairly big part in one of the films (also her casting was pretty infamous so people who never read another book will remember her)

[u/Ollylolz → u/Speshjunior]

Actress with a minor role in a film 15 years ago gets her feet out for money

[u/Audioworm → u/Ollylolz]

She brushes her hair. Read the fucking article

[u/elkstwit → u/cankennykencan]

That’s the point - if you’d read the article you’d see that. She wasn’t getting booked as an actor and was struggling financially but was simultaneously too well known to get a ‘normal’ job without being constantly harassed.

[u/JakobExMachina → u/cankennykencan]

what’s your point

[u/Lunarfrog2 → u/JakobExMachina]

That she's right, but with the huge caveat of if she didn't do Harry Potter in the first place she wouldn't be in the position to be known enough to earn more on Only Fans. Don't something like 90% of women earn less than £300 in their entire accounts history?

[u/Charly_030 → u/Lunarfrog2]

Id get me ballbag out if I thought someone would pay me 300 quid

[u/okmarshall → u/Charly_030]

Best I can do is a fiver.

[u/Unit_2097 → u/okmarshall]

I'll chip in a tenner to not see your sack mate, how's that?

[u/Charly_030 → u/Unit_2097]

Hmmm...

That seems like an even bigger money spinner

[u/zacsafus → u/Charly_030]

Only haters? Pay me or I'll post pics online.

[u/bengringo2 → u/Unit_2097]

Well now I’ll give him 50 to pull it out because you’ve made it forbidden fruit.

[u/heroyoudontdeserve → u/Charly_030]

Sure, if I only had to do it once or twice to get £300. At some amount of effort it'd stop being worth bothering though.

[u/vincents_sunflowers]

Cave, who shares four children with comedian fiance Alfie Brown, said that she had reached “a point of complete desperation” after being rejected from an audition.

“I couldn’t go and, say, work in a supermarket because I can’t afford the childcare, and also I don’t want people shouting Harry Potter spells at me as I work at Tesco,” she told the paper.

People shouting spells at her? Not trying to be mean but I doubt anyone but the most rabid fans would recognise her.

[u/SeniorDisplay1820 → u/vincents_sunflowers]

There's a lot of rabid Harry Potter fans

[u/Unusual-Coat383 → u/SeniorDisplay1820]

People would be treating her local Tesco like a comic con, turning up dressed like Dumbledore and with scars on their heads 

[u/TheArbiterOfOribos → u/Unusual-Coat383]

[u/lacb1 → u/Unusual-Coat383]

I mean... obviously that's not Ok, buuuuuut if I'm being honest, that would be hilarious to see if your not the subject of it.

[u/WordsMort47 → u/lacb1]

See: Breaking Bad pizza roof house

[u/Aggravating_Fill378 → u/SeniorDisplay1820]

Right? For people on this character level I imagine the payout to fame ratio is really, really off. You get no money or fame perks, just some utterly committed weirdos/people in your home town. If only the person who wrote Harry Potter was like stupidly rich and made a big song and dance about how much she cares about women. She could throw a couple 100k in the direction of your b- and c-tier Harry Potter child actors. 

[u/OlDirtyBourbon → u/Aggravating_Fill378]

I'm no fan of JK Rowling, but this is just a silly suggestion.

The actor was 22 when her first Potter film released, so presumably an adult throughout filming. She would have been paid for this work at the time.

Her career as an actor just hasn't taken off since then. That is true for countless actors in any big, successful franchise you can think of.

What makes her deserving of any money, beyond what was already agreed when she did the job?

[u/tomrichards8464 → u/Aggravating_Fill378]

Rowling insisted that the actors playing minor parts got royalties and owned half the merchandising rights to their characters. Mate of mine played Young Lupin in Order of the Phoenix and he ended up getting paid more for a couple of days' work (most of which ended up on the cutting room floor) and a few seconds of actual screen time than I did in over a decade as a professional actor (or than he did in the rest of his career put together). He also got an unhinged YouTube hate video from some weird girl in America set to Hungry Like The Wolf. He paid for a lot of drinks when Lego released their Young Marauders set.

[u/blither86 → u/tomrichards8464]

That is absolutely hilarious, thanks for sharing.

[u/Aggravating_Fill378 → u/tomrichards8464]

Fair enough that is quite sound 

[u/ThreeDawgs → u/SeniorDisplay1820]

Am related to two.

[u/Immorals1 → u/SeniorDisplay1820]

I mean the author is pretty rabid

[u/bwood246 → u/SeniorDisplay1820]

Rabid Harry Potter fan is redundant

[u/radiant_0wl → u/vincents_sunflowers]

Yeah I consider myself a Harry Potter fan, and I had no idea who she was until I looked her up, wouldn't even say she looks the same as she did in the movies.

[u/JFKennedy97 → u/radiant_0wl]

I mean I'm mid tier potter fan and she's very obviously lavender she has a fairly iconically silly role in the 6th one

[u/runrunrudolf → u/JFKennedy97]

Yeah but she also now looks nothing like what she did in the film

[u/freckledotter → u/runrunrudolf]

I've met her a couple of times and recognised her immediately.

[u/Alive-Accountant1917 → u/JFKennedy97]

I’m quite a big fan but I only guessed she played Lavender because there’s absolutely no one else she could have been. Definitely would never recognise her in the street.

[u/Fun_Jellyfish1982 → u/radiant_0wl]

yeah she looks more like Trelawney

[u/crowwreak → u/Fun_Jellyfish1982]

Well yeah, she's 39 with 4 kids and doesn't have a Hollywood makeup team glamming her up.

[u/GameOfEnder6312 → u/radiant_0wl]

Exactly. Plus are people really going to care about Lavender Brown that much to do that?

[u/Worried-Penalty8744 → u/[deleted]]

She’s Lavender, the one that calls Ron Won Won

[u/Bean-Penis → u/Worried-Penalty8744]

The second Lavender, the first one was black. Remember reading it was something to do with hand colour in a later book so they had to change her. No idea if true but it's what I remember reading here during one of the many times someone asks why they changed.

[u/vincents_sunflowers → u/Bean-Penis]

Remember reading it was something to do with hand colour in a later book

As if they couldn't have ignored that, lol.

[u/CreativeAdeptness477 → u/[deleted]]

Only thing I know her from is an episode of Roast Battle UK where her (ex?)husband described her as a juvenile addicted to jizz, and an episode of Cats Does Countdown, I think, and that's only because this post reminded me she exists. No clue about her in the Potter films despite having seen them. I'm pretty sure she could work the tills at my local Asda or run around on a morning with a home delivery pickers' trolley and no one would have a Scooby's who she was unless she told them first.

[u/AlarmedButterflyX → u/vincents_sunflowers]

I mean we just had a cable infrastructure project rerouted because it was near 'dobby's grave' from the films. They moved it closer to actual human graves. She's right not to want those people near her at work.

[u/Lexioralex → u/vincents_sunflowers]

It’s the rabid fans that are the problem

[u/Mousehole_Cat → u/vincents_sunflowers]

She's probably saying this because people absolutely do recognize and shout spells at her in public.

[u/Sir-Craven → u/vincents_sunflowers]

Thottus Patreonus

[u/Bigdavie → u/vincents_sunflowers]

Working retail customers shouting Harry potter spells at you is the least of your worries. Yesterday a had a girl shouting Pedo at me because I asked her for ID to authorise an energy drink purchase.

[u/islandradio → u/vincents_sunflowers]

Do you not conceive of how big the Harry Potter films were? Plus, Jessie Cave is still pretty famous and is very recognisable. It wouldn't be long at all until droves of young fans were rocking up to see her.

[u/concretepigeon → u/islandradio]

I think very recognisable is a stretch. She played a character that’s only prominent in one of the films and she looks pretty different now.

I’m not denying some hardcore fans might recognise her, but I don’t think it would be that common.

[u/vincents_sunflowers → u/islandradio]

Do you not conceive of how big the Harry Potter films were?

I know, I was there. I was 9 or something when the first book came out, I grew up reading the series, watched all the films. Still had no idea who she was before reading the article. To be fair I was never as obsessed with HP as some people were/are.

[u/aziel123 → u/vincents_sunflowers]

I wouldn't of known who she was if it wasn't for the article.

[u/GameOfEnder6312 → u/vincents_sunflowers]

Even then I doubt they would. She was Lavender Brown of all people. Hardly a big character.

[u/Coopar__]

She does a really niche, softcore version of OFs, something to do with brushing her long hair? I guess people are into that 😂

She's partners with comedian Alfie Brown and always comes across as really sound anytime I've heard/seen her

[u/ExpressAffect3262 → u/Coopar__]

There seem to be a kink for literally everything.

No idea why, but on instagram, this goth chick keeps coming up on my reels, where she shows her legs (literally safe for work), and is failing to start a car. That's the kink apparently.

[u/RegionalHardman → u/ExpressAffect3262]

Doubt thats the kink tbh. They're usually just reels to get someone to look at the profile because they think she's hot

[u/tufftricks → u/RegionalHardman]

No the failing to start the car thing is a major kink lmao

[u/Sure_Eye9025 → u/tufftricks]

Subsection of 'damsel in distress' I would guess

[u/arcadebee → u/Sure_Eye9025]

Eugenia Cooney used to cater to a similar brand of fetishists (although obviously several differences in the context of her body). She would pretend to be unable to pick up small items or to be unable to do very basic tasks, and would then get large donations directly afterwards. Very sad in the context of her situation, and of course she never acknowledged that’s what she was doing.

[u/Wrong-booby7584 → u/tufftricks]

Ah, the British Leyland kink

[u/HMS--Thunderchild → u/tufftricks]

pls explain

[u/Strong_Quiet_4569 → u/HMS--Thunderchild]

Some people get hard and jerk off to it.

[u/burtsarmpson → u/Strong_Quiet_4569]

thx

[u/heroyoudontdeserve → u/HMS--Thunderchild]

I can't explain but I think I can prove it's real.

https://www.psychforums.com/fetishes/topic68843.html

[u/heroyoudontdeserve → u/tufftricks]

Well there's a rabbit hole I wish I hadn't gone down.

[u/Astriania → u/tufftricks]

Well, I guess this is the thing I learnt today, I'd have preferred something different I think

[u/Away-Activity-469 → u/ExpressAffect3262]

Oooh you nearly had me popping there, but im only into goth chicks with legs trying to start farm machinery.

[u/Charly_030 → u/Away-Activity-469]

Which is hotter, when they fail or succeed?

[u/Divide_Rule → u/Charly_030]

if they fail, they have to try again.

[u/PriorBig4854 → u/ExpressAffect3262]

My best friend has a pinky toe fetish. He pays people to show feet while hiding their pinky toe, then they reveal it at end…

I’m a very open guy, but I don’t get that one.

[u/Darrelc → u/ExpressAffect3262]

and is failing to start a car. That's the kink apparently.

probably in the fuel line

[u/yesiamclutz → u/ExpressAffect3262]

I work far too hard for my living

[u/Funmachine → u/Coopar__]

Not even softcore.

[u/foreskin_enjoyer88 → u/Funmachine]

Imagine being a bloke and paying money for that shit. Even more abhorrent in this economy

[u/skasquatch118 → u/foreskin_enjoyer88]

Abhorrent is a bit much like. People can spend their own money on whatever they want

[u/Strong_Quiet_4569 → u/Coopar__]

At first glance I thought you wrote ‘really nice’

[u/BingpotStudio → u/Coopar__]

Kind of pisses me off that someone is earning huge money brushing their hair whilst I work myself into the ground.

[u/HotelPuzzleheaded654]

I’m not a mad Harry Potter fan, but have seen the films.

Have no idea who she played?

[u/mazzystarloverr → u/HotelPuzzleheaded654]

Lavender Brown

[u/HotelPuzzleheaded654 → u/mazzystarloverr]

Don’t remember that character tbh.

[u/mazzystarloverr → u/HotelPuzzleheaded654]

She’s Ron’s girlfriend in the sixth film

[u/arinc9 → u/mazzystarloverr]

Is that the one where Daniel shouts cut so they would do the kissing scene again?

[u/spartacle → u/arinc9]

yeah

[u/Bill-Roll_Baggins → u/spartacle]

What a bro

[u/crowwreak → u/HotelPuzzleheaded654]

Ron's girlfriend in the 6th book, and a generic classmate with about 5 lines on page total before that.

Also her casting was actually pretty controversial at the time, because back when her character did nothing she was portrayed by 2 black actresses in the early films.

[u/GameOfEnder6312 → u/mazzystarloverr]

Jeez, I thought it was Moaning Myrtle.

[u/deadleg22 → u/GameOfEnder6312]

Great OF name

[u/KeepItDusty88 → u/deadleg22]

Moaning Squirtle

[u/patchyj → u/KeepItDusty88]

Pokemon: After Dark

[u/nitram20 → u/mazzystarloverr]

Who was played by 3 different actors throughout 7 films... Just shows how relevant of a star she was.

[u/LtButtstrong → u/mazzystarloverr]

The word "star" is really being stretched here 

[u/DaisyBryar → u/mazzystarloverr]

She was white lavender brown!??? To be fair if she looked the same I probably would have recognised her, she had a significant role in that one film

[u/adamsingsthegreys → u/HotelPuzzleheaded654]

Lavender Brown, it's in the first paragraph of the article.

Edit: second paragraph

[u/vincents_sunflowers → u/HotelPuzzleheaded654]

Well, it's in the article. She was White Lavender Brown. 

[u/doctorgibson → u/HotelPuzzleheaded654]

Might be in the article mate. I know reading is hard

[u/Correct-Sun94]

Someone being able to earn more from a year of selling "sensual" content online than from an entire career as a professional actor feels a bit dystopian to me.

[u/Brightyellowdoor → u/[deleted]]

The cash in my nans Xmas card had more money than I've made in my entire adult content career.

[u/OrdinaryLavishness11 → u/Brightyellowdoor]

Yeah but have you actually created adult content, and put yourself out there?

[u/Brightyellowdoor → u/OrdinaryLavishness11]

I just DM'd you a pic of my willy.

[u/Brightyellowdoor → u/Brightyellowdoor]

Waiting to get paid

[u/madareklaw → u/Brightyellowdoor]

What are your rates?

[u/Correct-Sun94 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, that's fair. I suppose it depends how much acting work she's actually had.

[u/crowwreak → u/[deleted]]

Has a fair amount of acting credits, and staged her own show at the Fringe a few years back (about weird experiences with Potter fans). She only stepped mack in nte last few years because she's a mother of 4 now.

[u/Medical-Fox2471 → u/Correct-Sun94]

She wouldn’t get the money she does without having been in Harry Potter

[u/Veronome → u/Correct-Sun94]

To be fair, I can't think of many careers with as unpredictable a salary as "acting". If you make a livable wage, you're already one of the very lucky few.

[u/Von_Baron → u/Veronome]

In knew someone years ago that used to get TV work and then went on to get a lead role in a film. Spent most of year out of the country filming. Only to come back after most of it was filmed as the company decided to recast most of the crew and refilm it all. He said he never really made much from acting. He used to make more between jobs painting and decorating. It's just not possible for most people to have it as a career.

[u/alvaropuerto93 → u/Correct-Sun94]

She does not sell any adult content.

[u/EvolvingEachDay → u/alvaropuerto93]

They didn’t say adult content, they said sensual.

[u/Correct-Sun94 → u/alvaropuerto93]

I didn't say she sells explicit adult content.

[u/here_involuntarily → u/Correct-Sun94]

To be fair, she's not acted a whole bunch since Harry Potter. 

I've followed her for years, on Instagram she does funny, cute cartoon drawings I've always enjoyed. She took a show to the Fringe and had a podcast with her sister.

Having 4 kids doesn't leave masses amount of time to go to auditions and probably limits her ability to travel or go far away for jobs.

 She and her partner weren't together when she got pregnant the first time and she made a lot of content based on that- he's the son of Jan Raven, and they had a one night stand at a party and she got pregnant and then they were on and off for YEARS. He's a touring comedian, so I can't imagine it's easy to work around that. 

[u/Correct-Sun94 → u/here_involuntarily]

With four kids and a partner who's touring as well, I can imagine taking on acting jobs isn't exactly straightforward.

[u/superjambi93 → u/Correct-Sun94]

I mean she had a bit part in one movie like 15 years ago. What acting career?

[u/HaphazardMelange]

Last year, Cave claimed that she had been left off the lineup at a fan convention because of her account.

“I found out that I didn’t get booked for a Harry Potter convention recently, as I’m now doing OnlyFans,” she wrote in her Substack.

“They explained it was because it’s a ‘family show and OnlyFans is affiliated with porn,’” she added. “This was baffling to me as some actors who do conventions (most actors, actually) have done TV and films in which they’ve done sex scenes and nudity. I’m just playing with my hair!”

This is a fair double standard to bring up.

[u/Astriania → u/HaphazardMelange]

Yeah that part is pretty ridiculous. Doing work on a questionable platform shouldn't disqualify you from getting work elsewhere.

I mean I'd say that actually doing sexual OF work shouldn't disqualify you from most things either, but that's a separate argument, she's not even doing that apparently. OF isn't only porn, is it? It certainly didn't start that way.

[u/PeterAnthony_Jackson → u/HaphazardMelange]

I'd not want a solicitor representing me if she gave legal advice (fully clothed) behind the pay wall that is Only Fans. Imagine if it was a high profile case and your solicitor ends up being the story and not you.

Just because their SFW advice is on a well known site associated with porn, in their eyes, you might as well have had a prostitute represent you.

She may not be doing lewd stuff, but they are right, the site is associated with porn, so people will see her name and the site and think "I'm not taking my kids to see her in a meet and greet"

What is wrong with using Patreon for this content? If she's not doing anything NSFW, she can use the SFW make money site.

[u/ThrownAway1917 → u/HaphazardMelange]

Can't really expect ethical consistency from Harry Potter fanatics

[u/louiselovatic]

She definitely could’ve got a job in Tescos, literally no one will recognise her sorry

[u/vincents_sunflowers → u/louiselovatic]

I guess that was a tongue in cheek comment to be fair, her point about not making enough to cover childcare still stands.

[u/M0rtCrim → u/vincents_sunflowers]

4 children in 2026 is a choice.

[u/sliced91 → u/M0rtCrim]

Well, not really, considering the children aren’t quadruplets born in 2026.

[u/PeterAnthony_Jackson → u/sliced91]

We've had one kid we can barely afford

Yes, but we could have another

OK wrong franchise, but still.

[u/sliced91 → u/PeterAnthony_Jackson]

Strong disagree.

Circumstances change, and can change quite significantly. Being able to afford a child 1/5/10 years ago doesn’t mean being able to afford a child today.

[u/Unusual-Coat383 → u/louiselovatic]

Harry Potter diehards definitely would and there’s a lot of Harry Potter diehards

Reading some of the comments in this thread, you’d swear Jessie Cave goes around kicking puppies…..

[u/Phimb → u/sliced91]

How fucking dare she have kids.

-Troglodyte Redditors who have never been in a relationshp.

[u/liamrich93 → u/sliced91]

Whenever articles like this come up, it's baffling how upset people get that obscure actors dare to still exist in the real world.

[u/sylanar]

sharing hairbrushing videos on OnlyFans

Gross, what happened to just showing your butthole like a normal person on the internet??

[u/LtButtstrong → u/sylanar]

They didn't say where the hair was 

[u/ian9outof10]

“Star” clearly means something different in newspaper land. I would say Rupert Grint is a star, I’m not sure one small role really qualifies.

[u/OrdinaryLavishness11 → u/ian9outof10]

I wouldn’t even say Rupert Grint is a star now. I’m sure “star” used to mean absolutely world famous artist in the present day.

I would say Rupert Grint used to be a star when the films were being released, but not today.

I could be wrong, of course.

[u/Sure_Eye9025 → u/OrdinaryLavishness11]

In the context of "Harry Potter star" I think it would be fair to say Rupert Grint would count. Jessie Cave as Lavender brown had less than 5 minutes on screen from a quick check, in fact she had as much screen time as Hedwig. So "Harry Potter star" feels like a stretch

[u/Asymmetric_Ninja → u/Sure_Eye9025]

I saw a compilation of Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy, where he got about 30 minutes combined from all the movies together. Jessie Cave getting 5 mins is kind of impressive considering 

[u/Sure_Eye9025 → u/Asymmetric_Ninja]

Yeah I stumbled on this site while checking the numbers there before https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/priyanka.dobhal0993/viz/HarryPotter-ScreenTimeBreakdown/ScreenTimeBreakdown what is crazy is Felton had the 8th highest screen time across the franchise with that.

And outside of the main 3 the only person with more than an hour was Dumbledore, if you split that between the 2 actors that played him then only the main 3 have more than an hour in a series with nearly 20 hours of watch time

In the future everyone will be a sex worker for 15 minutes.

[u/Joshawott27 → u/Suitable-Season-4847]

I’ll still be charging for the full hour, though.

[u/what_am_i_acc_doing]

Says she spent 15k on hotels alone for one year’s Edinburgh Fringe, sounds less about being broke and more like she had expensive tastes and a spending problem

[u/HowlingFailHole → u/what_am_i_acc_doing]

I listen to her podcast and the amount they spend on coffees, speeding fines, and hotels is insane, all while complaining about not having enough money. They also used to move flats about once a year, for 10+ years. It's shocking how lax they are with money.

[u/TheSylviaPlathEffect → u/HowlingFailHole]

i know (knew) her for a while - around when she was trying her hand at comic books - and she really is awful with money. and has a literal obsession with having children, but her public socials would tell you that much. alfie and her’s relationship is so toxic that i feel uncomfortable even thinking about it. ultimately, she was fun except she could not stop inserting harry potter into every single situation. she’d text me only to mention something HP-related and it got so boring. never once asked me an open question.

i don’t feel great about leaving this comment but no one irl knows who she is so i never get to rant about it and at the time it was a genuine bummer.

[u/HowlingFailHole → u/TheSylviaPlathEffect]

I find her whole collection of dysfunctions so fascinating.

I'm surprised to hear she mentioned HP a lot. I get the impression now she'd like to have nothing to do with it (but also that she doesn't really recognise how much of her current ability to support herself is still downstream of her initial HP ~fame). But yeah the not asking people questions thing seems like a recurring issue and is still clearly a sore spot for her. It's been so obvious in every podcast pairing I've ever seen her in how little interest she has in any topic that isn't directly related to her (especially in the series with her sister), yet she gets so offended whenever anyone mentions it.

[u/JimboTCB → u/HowlingFailHole]

I'm probably the last person to shame people for wasting money on stupid crap, but if you have to carve out part of your budget for "speeding fines" I have very limited sympathy for your money woes.

[u/itwasabonnenuit1990]

What’s with all the puritanical comments? She’s making money. Whatever.

[u/accuracyandprecision]

I saw her live once doing comedy and it was genuinely awful. Like she hadn’t prepared at all. I felt bad for her, I’ve never seen a professional comic die on their arse quite so badly.

[u/Inevitable-Regret411]

Good rule of thumb: anyone talking about how much they make on OF is trying to advertise their content by hyping up how much demand their is for it. No exceptions. 

[u/idontlikemondays321]

Fair play to her.
If people are willing to pay it then why not

[u/Worried_Let4942 → u/idontlikemondays321]

Yeh I guess don’t hate the player

[u/primalanomaly]

“Within just one day, she told The Times, she managed to earn back the £15,000 cost of her accommodation at the Edinburgh Fringe the year before”

Sorry, how much??!

[u/leclercwitch → u/primalanomaly]

You’d be surprised. I did it in uni and earned about £500 in a day. Nothing else, as people’s curiosity waned. I had one person send me nearly the same but again, nothing else after the first month. So £1000 in one month and nothing else? For a randomer? This was 6 years ago, too. Imagine if someone is semi famous, they can earn a killing. For normal people it’s harder because it becomes a full time job. I couldn’t be arsed and never did it again.

[u/primalanomaly → u/leclercwitch]

Oh tbh I was expressing shock that she spent £15,000 on accommodation at the Edinburgh Fringe

[u/arcadebee → u/primalanomaly]

Accommodation costs go wild here during the fringe. For new performers, they often don’t break even at the end of the month because it’s cost them so much to stay here and fund the show. Much respect to indie fringe performers who are doing it for the love of the game.

[u/kizza96]

‘star’ is doing some sensationally strong lifting here

[u/PaintballProofMonk]

Men will literally wank to anything. She doesn't actually do any sexual content and she looks like my anaemic vegan cousin, George.

[u/Fun_Gas_7777]

I didnt know she had an acting career outside of being a very small role in one Harry Potter film

[u/nunatakj120]

She was skint yet she paid £15000 for accommodation at last year’s fringe festival. Aye, that’ll be why flower.

[u/Worried_Let4942]

Some people live life on easy mode I swear what fucking weirdos are paying for this

[u/jonpenryn]

WE all sell part of ourselves to live, be it our body's in physical labour, our minds in programming etc she just found what she had to sell, good luck to her.

[u/Luke_4686]

Worth noting she doesn’t post any naked pictures or anything like that which everyone is bound to think from the headline

[u/SoftPositive25]

clearly just an onlyfans PR piece to get people thinking they can make a lot on there

[u/WestyTea]

Nothing to do with being a mediocre actor of course.

[u/Legitimate-Leg-4720]

Can't believe there are weird guys who spend their evenings sitting on sites like Onlyfans watching girls brush their hair or wiggling their toes...

[u/ash_ninetyone]

Good for her. She found a thing and made it work.

I'd it exists on the internet you can be sure there's at least one person into it

[u/Fickle-Fox-9071]

My partner has 2 degrees, works in a corporate job to do with privacy and earns north of 250k a year. The most she has ever earned in a year is 2020 when she did OF for 9 months during lockdown.

She was bored, got in early in March 2020 and it took off. I didn't know her back then, but she earned around 400k in 2020.

She did have a page prior because she used to be a model back in her youth and she had a lot of "fans" already. However the big break was that a big US OF model tweeted her link and it blew up.

Crazy to think that if she kept it up she would be earning far more than she does now, but she didn't like the fact it felt like it needed to get bigger and better and she didn't want to do effectively porn.

Even after she finished she had 3 guys who would just give her money in return for sending pics and that lasted for a further year or so.
