‘Sopranos‘ star Drea de Matteo is revealing how she used her OnlyFans account to pay off her mortgage. She claims, “People really like Granny p*rn.”
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the 52-year-old actress talked about her career in entertainment and her transition from the big screen to the primarily adult entertainment platform, where she charges her subscribers for lingerie pictures. During her sit-down, the actress said that she initially launched her account on OF as a joke but ended up laughing to the bank.
de Matteo said, “The kids started joking around about it, and they were like, ‘Hey, why don’t you do this like as a joke?’ And I was like, ‘All right, well, let’s do it.’ We were gonna do a podcast on OnlyFans, a really controversial podcast on there that we knew wasn’t gonna get banned for talking about touchy subjects. We thought, ‘Let’s put it behind the paywall, get a huge audience and do this here.’ And you know, maybe have someone rub my feet while we’re talking — so you make it OnlyFans friendly, you know what I mean?”
Soon after the actress who played “Adriana La Cerva” on ‘The Sopranos‘ announced her plans to hop on the OF bandwagon last year, she quickly learned that fans wanted more than just a controversial podcast. They were looking forward to seeing ‘The Sopranos‘ star in all her glory bucket naked, and possibly channeling her on-screen “Mob Wife” character.
de Matteo said, “People are really excited over granny p*rn. Now we’re out of the woods with our home, thank God.” However, the flip side of garnering all of this positive attention and being able to pay off her mortgage with her OnlyFans account comes with criticism to balance it all out.
The actress said, “I’ve never been in the spotlight. My personal life has never been up for question by anybody, because who f***ing cares? When the OnlyFans thing came out, I was like, why the f**k does anyone gives a sh*t about it? I thought I’d make a couple thousand dollars, get by. I did not know that it was going to be that explosive.”

Drea de Matteo revealed that some of those who criticized her over her OnlyFans account were “Christian conservatives,” whom she claimed labeled her “a wh*re.” She also claimed that some of her beloved Italians and ‘Sopranos‘ fans have also “frown[ed] upon” her actions on the primarily adult platform.
She also said she’s faced backlash from political parties after revealing how much work she’s lost out on because she refused to get vaccinated during the COVID-19 pandemic. She explained, “The liberals think I’m a piece of sh*t because I didn’t comply to the vaccine mandate. I can’t win. I joke around like I’m a man without a country.”
Additionally, when asked if she’ll return to acting in a big series again, Drea de Matteo said, “I honestly don’t know that I want to play anybody but myself right now. Like if there was an Adriana character again… [Sopranos creator] David Chase, I was with him a few weeks ago. He goes, ‘I bet I could make you act again.’ I was like, ‘Damn straight you could, and you might be the only one.'”
