One of Australia’s most famous Olympians has joined OnlyFans.
Matthew Mitcham, who won gold at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, recently launched an account on the subscription-based adult website.
Husband of 34 years, Luke Rutherford, is already performing very well on the platform.

While Rutherford does hardcore massage-themed pornography with various men on the site, Mitcham said her own content would be less explicit.
“Please don’t expect anything too risky,” the diver warned his followers.
Born in Queensland, Mitcham made history by becoming the first openly gay male Olympic champion in 2008.
He set an Olympic record for a single dive at the time and was also the first Australian man to win an Olympic gold medal in diving since Dick Eve at the 1924 Summer Olympics.

He also won six Commonwealth Games silver medals and one gold.
In January, Mitcham celebrated seven years of sobriety after his crystal meth and alcohol addiction nearly ended his career.
He announced the milestone on Instagram, saying he was “the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been.”
“Today I am seven years clean and sober,” Mitcham wrote.
“Please don’t expect anything too risky,” the Olympic diver warned his followers
“It’s been seven years since I put anything stronger than a Panadol in my body, and I’m without a doubt the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been.”
He continued: “Not everyone needs sobriety, but I did it because I depended on external things to solve internal problems. And even though I still have internal problems, I now have internal solutions.
“I hope everyone had (or still has) a fun holiday season, and if you ever wake up and think ‘enough is enough’ like I did seven years ago, just know that there is plenty of help available if you ask.’
Mitcham has previously spoken of his battle with alcohol and methamphetamine as he struggled to cope with a “post-Games struggle” following the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
In January, Mitcham celebrated seven years of sobriety after his crippling addiction to crystal meth and alcohol nearly ended his career.
After his triumph in Beijing, he developed a drug addiction when he discovered he was not world number one in the world rankings, despite his Olympic success.
Incredibly, the diver felt like a failure and soon found himself training and competing while juggling a crippling drug addiction.
“Knowing that I would be drug tested at every competition, I would detox (from drugs) for the weeks leading up to the competition and go through these horrible withdrawals,” he told the BBC.
Born in Queensland, Mitcham made history by becoming the first openly gay male Olympic champion in 2008.
“They were so bad that I promised myself with every cell in my body that I wasn’t going to use it again, but I could never keep the promise.
‘It got dark. My self esteem was shattered, sometimes killing myself seemed like the easiest way to deal with it, but eventually I went to rehab.
Mitchell’s porn star husband Luke is also sober after battling substance abuse issues.

Last week he posted: “Today Luke is 8 years clean and sober which is an amazing achievement as he was, literally, in every way a hot mess.” Now it’s just hot.
“Luke, this post is to let you know that no matter where you go, I’ll always be right behind you because it’s the best view in the world.”
