Ex-Disney Channel star Dan Benson has proudly declared he feels like “a badass” after switching industries and taking on a very raunchy OnlyFans career.
The 35-year-old shot to fame as Zeke Beakerman in Wizards of Waverly Place, starring opposite the likes of Selena Gomez.
In 2018 he moved away from traditional acting roles to appear on camera in a very different type of performance.

But the former kid’s show actor has no regrets about his career change — as he claims it has made him feel like a “badass”.
Speaking to his 202k followers on TikTok, Dan gave them an annual update on his mental health while working in the porn industry.
In the video, which has gained more than 80,000 likes, he said: “Mental health wise I feel good. I don’t feel bad about myself. I feel kind of like a badass a little bit.”
He went on to say that is actually “excited about the future” and that he “doesn’t feel bad” about his decisions at all.
The actor claims he has received more words of “empowerment” than “hate” since making the switch to porn.
He also said that so many of his fans approach him on the street to show their support and give him a hug.

But Dan has explained that he has learned to set boundaries while making content and that he won’t do anything he is uncomfortable with.
He added: “Now, there are plenty of people on a daily basis asking me and demanding I do things that I don’t feel comfortable doing, but I’ve kind of just been in a position to just be like, ‘No, you’re gonna get what you’re gonna get.
“‘You’re gonna get what I’m comfortable with sharing with the world.’”
