While having an OnlyFans account may be seen as taboo by some due to its association with adult content, many athletes use the platform to connect directly with fans without involving nudity or explicit material. Instead, they share exclusive insights into their training, lifestyle, and personal journeys, as a new way to build fan engagement.
Among them is British diver and Olympic medalist Jack Laugher, who uses the platform to share safe-for-work content, including behind-the-scenes images to support his athletic career. However, Australian diver and first openly gay Olympic gold medalist Matthew Mitcham has taken it a step further, sharing semi-frontal nude photos to connect with fans on a more personal level.
