One of the stars of The Sopranos has revealed how she lets her son edit her OnlyFans pictures.
But its an experience that has left her having to ask her two children a difficult question when it comes to posting content on the subscription platform.
Drea de Matteo was one of the biggest stars of The Sopranos, starring in the legendary crime drama from 1999 until 2006 and winning an Emmy Award along the way for her talents.
But the 52-year-old, who you might also recognise from Friends spin-off, Joey, as well as Sons of Anarchy and Desperate Housewives, revealed she was close to financial ruin in 2023 - something she partly puts down to work drying up as a result, she says, of her refusal to be vaccinated against Covid.

It was a period of time which saw her launch an OnlyFans account, despite being resistant to the idea. Revealing she only had $10 in her bank account at the time of launching her OF page, De Matteo said OnlyFans 'saved her life' after allowing her to pay off her mortgage in full.
And now in an update on her time on OnlyFans, De Matteo revealed her 13-year-old son helps her edit photos for the platform.

De Matteo has two children; 16-year-old Alabama and 13-year-old Waylon, who she affectionately calls 'Blackjack'.

Appearing on the Not Today, Pal podcast this week, De Matteo revealed all when it came to her OnlyFans content.
During the in-depth chat about her career with hosts Robert Iler and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, De Matteo opened up about how her OF focuses around a lot of girl-on-girl content before apologising to her children who were in the other room to where the podcast was being filmed.
She said: "Blackjack and Alabama. My kids are out there. I’m sorry guys. I’m really sorry. But they know.
Iler then comes in and says: "Before you start, your son was outside saying he edits your OnlyFans photos?"

"Oh yeah," De Matteo responds. "He's like 'so what do you want me to do with the bikini line here?'.
But she clarified that the lesbian content is not something her kids ever get to see. And when it comes to that kind of content, De Matteo makes sure she asks them a key question even if it is a difficult one.
"They don't see the girl the girl shots but I do go over that with them before I ever put them out," she explained.

"I was like - 'are you okay with this?' - because if I were to do it in a movie, because I would make out with girls in movies all day long before I even make out with boys, [I would ask them the same]."
De Matteo said she only pursued an OnlyFans career after first speaking to her children about what it was and what it would involve.
"I used to have a lot of money," she said.

"And then, all of a sudden, I went from being allowed to work to never being allowed to work again.
"I was never the kind of actor that took jobs just to stay in the business. I literally took jobs to feed my family."
