They’re going for gold — but making a whole bunch of silver in the process.
A number of high-profile Olympic athletes are joining OnlyFans, saying the steamy subscription site is an easy way to rake in extra cash.
British diver Jack Laugher — who is competing at the 2024 Paris Games — sent sports lovers into a frenzy when he unveiled his account, charging $10 per month for access to his amorous content.
“Obviously, I’ve got what people want,” the 29-year-old told The Telegraph on Saturday. “I’ll happily cash in on that. I’m a bit of a hustler and I want a bit more money if I can.”
Laugher says the site helps supplements the relatively small income he makes from his athletic endeavors.
“The funding hasn’t changed [in years],” he stated. “I’m top three in the world, and it is £28,000 [USD $36,000] a year.”
Laugher didn’t disclose how additional income he makes from his OnlyFans account, which does not feature full-frontal nudity.
Instead, the athlete shares “SFW [safe for work] content in speedos, briefs, boxer and more!” and offers followers the opportunity to personally chat with him.
Several of Laugher’s teammates are also diving right in to content creation.
Noah Williams, 24, Daniel Goodfellow, 27, and Matty Lee, 26, have all started OnlyFans accounts, similarly sharing titillating — but not explicit — content.
Lee, who charges $20 per month, explains on his page: “Remember I’m a Team GB diver not a P [pornstar]. So everything will be SFW and a place where I can interact with you all.”
But it’s not only the Brits flaunting their gym-honed physiques for frisky subscribers — especially given that there’s no shortage of sexy Olympians competing in Paris this year.
New Zealand rower Robbie Manson has also created an account with “exclusive content that tastefully explores the boundaries, including artistic portrayals of nudity.”
Meanwhile, the platform has become a financial lifesaver for some former Olympians who have retired.
Short-track speed skater Elise Christie says her account “saved her life” after her retirement three years ago.
“I went from being someone who won medals under a system to then having absolutely nothing and just being dropped out and left to understand life,” the Brit — who competed at three Winter Olympic Games — told The Telegraph.
“I had lost my house and was working three jobs at the time… [OnlyFans] brought me back from a really dark place, and I now use it positively,” she stated, also adding that she does not share X-rated content.
“A lot of people just use it to engage with me and my life, learn more about it and what went on and question me about sport and fitness,” the Olympian explained.
“I use it as engagement for fans that have been with me for a long time. Once you are using it in the way that you are comfortable with, you’re not forced into things or doing things you don’t want to do, you can use it in the way you want to use it…. At the end of the day, it kind of saved my life at one point as I had nothing.”
