Drea de Matteo has teased fans of The Sopranos that they can expect plenty of racy content if they follow her on OnlyFans.
The actress, 51, is the latest big name to join the subscription platform, which is a favourite of adult stars and everyday people selling X-rated content. Last week she announced she had joined the site on Instagram, and was offering $15-a-month access (£11.90-a-month).
While she didn’t fully reveal what she would be doing on OnlyFans, her bio simply reads “The Sopornos”, and there is a close-up photo of her cleavage as the banner image. Her profile picture shows her completely naked apart from thigh-high boots, casually smoking next to another, mystery, woman who is partially out of shot. She has already posted three times, and has over 2.2k likes.

Drea made her OnlyFans debut via Instagram last week (Instagram/@dreadematteo)According to reports, the actress already has around 650 followers on the website. This means she could make at least $9,000 (£7,100) a month.
Drea played Adriana La Cerva in the critically acclaimed mafia drama. She was the girlfriend of boss Tony Soprano's ‘nephew’ Christopher Moltisanti. She has also starred in cult biker gang drama Sons Of Anarchy.

But she's not the only big name with a side gig in saucy content. Rapper Iggy Azalea, 32, earned an estimated $4million (£3.1million) in her first few weeks on the site. Variety reported that she uses OnlyFans as a place to share exclusive and uncensored photos, videos, music, illustrations and poetry. She has also spoken about some of the "grimmest" requests she's been sent by fans.

For a tip of $250 (£198), you get to become a 'VIP' for 12 months, which includes one free exclusive photo and other undefined benefits.
Sami Sheen, eldest daughter of Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen, joined the platform in June 2022. She charges $19.99 (£15.90) to have access to her content, and money saving subscription deals for longer commitments. It’s been estimated she makes $60,000-a-month (£47,690) on the site.
When the 19-year-old first joined, her dad really didn’t approve. The 57-year-old had a change of heart after a talking to from his ex. He told Us Weekly in a statement: “Denise has illuminated a variety of salient points, that in my haste, I overlooked and dismissed.
“Now more than ever, it's essential that Sami have a united parental front to rely upon, as she embarks on this new adventure. From this moment forward, she'll have it abundantly.”

Sami Sheen joined OnlyFans in June 2022 - closely followed by her mother (Instagram/ @samisheen)Two weeks after Sami signed up, Denise actually opened her own account as an act of “support”. She shares NSFW content and sexy behind-the-scenes outtakes for $25 a month. She has over 5,000 subscribers and is thought to be earning more than $129,000 (£102,500) per month.
She told Sirius XM's Jeff Lewis Live that her husband Aaron Phypers is extremely hands-on with the venture.
She said: “Aaron takes a lot of my content for me. He knows what guys like. I ask him, I show him things, and say, ‘What do you think?’ I do bikini, I do lingerie, I do stuff that is sexier 'cause I also think, 'Why not?' if I'm able to do stuff outside of some of the more conservative stuff that's on my Instagram. I do show my boobies, my tush. They're already out there if you Google them.”
Carmen Electra and Tyga also have accounts on the site - but their earnings are dwarfed by Rob Kardashian's baby mother Blac Chyna. The former video vixen claimed to make over $20million (£15.8million) a MONTH with her X-rated pictures and videos before giving it all up for a new pious life after getting baptised.
