Disney Channel actor Daniel Benson, who starred alongside Selena Gomez in Wizards of Waverly Place, has given up acting for a career on OnlyFans. The 35-year-old, known for playing Zeke Beakerman on the hit show, announced the move on TikTok, discussing his mental health.
In a video, Benson said he had been doing adult entertainment for about a year. He expressed surprise at the lack of negative feedback, stating: 'I expected a lot more hate. Instead, people have just been like 'go you' – empowerment – which is awesome.'
Benson added that he felt 'good' mentally and 'kind of badass' about his decision. He noted that fans frequently ask him to do things he is uncomfortable with, but he sets boundaries: 'You're gonna get what I'm comfortable sharing with the world... which now is quite a bit.'
Fans responded positively, with comments praising his boundaries and mental health focus. Wizards of Waverly Place aired from 2007 to 2012 and launched Selena Gomez's career; she now has 424 million Instagram followers.
