Life is just getting exciting for Tricia Helfer, the beloved 52-year-old actress known for her iconic role in Battlestar Galactica. She's the latest celebrity to join the OnlyFans community, and she’s loving every moment. In an exclusive chat with PEOPLE, Helfer reveals how this fresh venture is a liberating change in her career.
“At my age, I am in my 'do what I want' phase of my life," Helfer candidly shares. "I'm tired of being told what to do and how to do it. I'm looking at it as something to have fun with and something I can be in control of.” Her OnlyFans account retains the essence of her familiar persona while adding a dash of her "sexier side."
Helfer's OnlyFans content is a delightful blend of artistic flair and personal moments. "It'll be a mix of artistic shots with great photographers and pictures and videos of quiet and silly times at home—feeding my goats or weeding my garden," she explains. "I posted a picture [recently] of me out in my garden watering my plants, and I had my work boots on, but it was hot outside, so I was in my bikini."
Tricia Helfer is no stranger to the limelight, having modeled for Maxim and Playboy during her Battlestar Galactica fame. Her portrayal of Cylon "Number Six" turned her into a global sex symbol in the early 2000s. Now, she’s channeling her energy into this new platform, relishing the positive feedback from her fans.
“Most people I've talked to have been very supportive. I've had a few people that are not involved with my page be concerned, and rightly so. I'm not saying there shouldn't be concern. But I tell them, 'Hey, this is what I'm doing. I'm in control of it."
As Helfer embarks on this exciting new chapter, she’s also committed to making a difference. A portion of her OnlyFans earnings will support animal charities close to her heart. "If I have any success with OnlyFans, it will help me donate more than I already do and stay involved in even more ways," she says.
Tricia Helfer joins a growing list of celebrities, including Jaime Pressly and Shannon Elizabeth, who have launched their own OnlyFans pages. This story was first shared by Parade on May 22, 2026, where it was featured in the News section.
