    A former children's TV star has opened up on how he went from starring in a popular Disney TV show to operating his own OnlyFans account.

    Dan Benson played Zeke Beakerman in Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place from 2007 to 2012.

    But Benson's career is now very different, with him being fully involved in the adult entertainment industry.

    In a new TikTok video, Benson opened up on how he got into adult entertainment, with him revealing that people ask him many questions about it.

    He said: "One of the questions I get asked all the time is: ‘What? Huh? What do you mean?’

    "So anyway, I thought I’d take just a minute to explain how I kind of tripped and fell into doing adult entertainment."

    The former children's TV actor revealed that when he was on Wizards of Waverly Place, he would get messages from women he found 'incredibly attractive'.

    He said: "Turns out, messaging those women — who turned out not to be who they said they were — was not the best idea, because I would send nude photos to them, and they would take those nude photos and then post them onto online websites."

    Benson described finding nude photos and videos of himself online as a 'traumatic experience', and spent years trying to get rid of them.

    He added: "As you can imagine, that was a pretty difficult task. As it turned out, I ended up almost losing my job later in life after I retired from acting.

    "It had a very big, negative impact on my life."

    But after some time, Benson said that he decided to stop 'fighting against it', and now sells explicit content of himself.

    He said: "Eventually I decided to stop fighting against it and instead go the other direction and completely lean into it.

    "Instead of letting these people sell my privacy, my — you know what I mean — I decided to say, ‘All right, screw you, I’m gonna sell it myself.’"

    Benson has been in adult entertainment since last year.

    Benson concluded the TikTok by saying that he got into adult entertainment last year, adding that he has had a great experience meeting lots of new people.

    "I’ve been having a tremendous amount of fun," he said.

    "I met a lot of great people in the adult entertainment industry, and it’s changed my life for the better.

    "Sometimes you just have to roll with the punches,” he added. “Don’t do what I do, necessarily, unless you want to."
