“Baywatch” star says his side job on OnlyFans supports his family and gives him full control: “I am my own Hugh Hefner”

Former Baywatch actress Brande Roderick opens up about her OnlyFans experience, saying it's been a “wonderful outlet” that's enabled a single mother like her to provide for her family.

“Honestly, it's been great,” she told Fox News Digital. “As a single mom of two boys who don't get financial support from their dad, I have to take care of my family. And my passion and love is acting and producing. In order for me to do that, you know, I have my side job on OnlyFans, which helps me support my other passion, which is acting and producing. So for me, it's really been a wonderful balance.”

The 50-year-old said her content on the platform was similar to what she made when she modeled for Playboy.

“Well, I'm basically doing Playboy,” she explained. “I'm continuing with that, I'm doing beautiful art photos, like when I was in Playboy. I don't show any nudity below, that's the only difference, but I try to make them very artistic and very beautiful and very meaningful.”

She said one of the benefits of OnlyFans is that you “are your own editor.”

“You only publish the pictures you love and want to show the world,” she explained. “When you were doing Playboy, you really had no control over it. I guess I'm my own Hugh Hefner.”

Carmen Electra, Roderick's former “Baywatch” co-star and girlfriend, previously told Fox News Digital that the strangest request she received on her OnlyFans was to see her feet.

“I find it funny because I get a lot of requests about my feet and it makes me laugh,” she laughed. “People want to see feet.”

Electra also agreed that she enjoys being her own boss on the construction site.

“You only publish the pictures you love and want to show the world. With Playboy, on the other hand, you really had no control over that. I guess I'm my own Hugh Hefner.”

“At first I wasn't sure if this was something I wanted to do, but I really got into it and realized I could be my own boss,” she said. “I love being part of OnlyFans because I shoot when I shoot. I have creative control over whatever I want to do.”

Roderick praised her fans for their respect and kindness.

““To be honest, I don't know if I've ever gotten any weird requests,” she told Fox News Digital. “I wish I had something funny to say. But everyone is just, honest, everyone is super respectful and nice. My Playboy fans are just, honest, really nice, nice people. I don't really have anyone request anything crazy.”

“I think it would be funny if someone asked me for a foot picture. Maybe I don't have cute feet? I thought I had cute feet,” she joked. “I don't know, I'll have to ask Carmen about that.”

Roderick, who played Leigh Dyer in “Baywatch,” said it was “one of the best times” of her life.

She especially remembers filming in “magical” Hawaii and feeling like a “little family” with the rest of the cast.

“We're on an island where we only know each other,” Roderick told Fox News Digital. “And it was really like, you know, this daily gathering of friends and family. You just go out and frolic in the water and swim and, you know, swim with Aquaman, Jason Momoayou know. You can't ask for more than that.”

However, she admitted that filming the series was more than just fun, adding that the Hulu documentary “After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun” revealed some of the personal struggles the cast went through while playing the beautiful lifeguards.

“People who see celebrities and this whole 'Baywatch' beach babe lifestyle probably assume that everyone's life is perfect. And I think they're going to find out that not everyone's life is or was perfect and that there are struggles that people have gone through that the world may not have known about,” Roderick said.

“And I think it will definitely shed light on it. People will show their vulnerability and really talk about their experiences, not just the experiences on the show. It's really about experiences in their lives during that time period of the '90s and early 2000s.”
