Jessie Cave, the actor who portrayed Lavender Brown in three “Harry Potter” movies, appeared in a recent interview on the U.K. talk show “This Morning” and spoke openly about her decision to launch an OnlyFans last year to help get her out of debt. Her decision resulted in a “Potter” fan convention barring her from being included.

“People just assume I’m rich and I have loads of money and no I don’t,” Cave said, noting her role as Lavender Brown “was a small-ish part and it was 20 years ago.”

“So it was embarrassing,” she continued about joining OnlyFans, “because on a certain level, I would have really liked to get a job. But you know what it’s like, you have kids. It costs so much for childcare… [OnlyFans] really has saved me.”

Cave referred to herself as a “struggling artist,” noting she mainly does one-woman shows with puppets these days. But her OnlyFans page has afforded her the opportunity to continue with these artistic endeavors: “This is how I’m making a living as an artist which… I want to have less shame about it. I want other people who do weird art like me, I want them to know that there is some way of still making [it].”

Cave started an OnlyFans account for her hair in May 2025. She said in an Instagram video at the time that she would be offering subscribers “the best quality hair sounds” and “very sensual stuff.” Cave does not post sexual content to OnlyFans, instead appealing to users with hair fetishes.
