Former EastEnders star Joshua Pascoe, best known for playing Ben Mitchell, has expressed his delight with his new career on OnlyFans, admitting he has discovered a surprising demand for foot-related content. 'The market for blokes feet is mad…' said the actor, who has recently ventured into adult content creation on the subscription-based platform.
Pascoe, who played the iconic role of Ben Mitchell from 2010 to 2012, revealed that his decision to join OnlyFans came after acting roles dried up. 'After EastEnders, the acting slowly dried up and I went to work on a building site instead,' he told the Daily Star. 'Then my friends suggested I start the adult work and within the first month I was in double figures.'
The actor, now 30, admitted that he has discovered new aspects of his sexuality through the platform. 'There are so many different kinks and since starting this, I've realised I'm not as vanilla as I thought,' he said.
Pascoe is not the first former soap star to join OnlyFans, with former Hollyoaks actors James Sutton and Sarah Jayne Dunn, as well as ex-EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook, all having accounts. However, Pascoe has fully embraced the platform's reputation for explicit content.
Discussing his newfound happiness, Pascoe said: 'I've been out of the acting world for years now. I've just got a normal job, I'm a normal bloke. I've got a nine to five, Monday to Friday. I'm humble – there's nothing flashy or lairy about me, I hope. I'm just a normal guy, but people have been really interested, which has baffled me.'
He added: 'And it's been pretty amazing. I never ever thought, I never ever imagined that it would take off the way it has done. And I couldn't be happier.'
Pascoe was axed from EastEnders at the age of 16 after his character accidentally killed Heather Trott. He later struggled to secure acting roles and eventually worked in construction before turning to adult content.
