Actress Maitland Ward, who found fame on teen comedy ‘Boy Meets World’, says she is now making more money as a porn star than she ever did working for the Disney Channel show.
Ms Ward, 42, rose to fame during her two seasons on the ABC/Disney Channel show from 1998 to 2000, is now making a career in the adult entertainment industry.
In a recent interview with The Daily Beast she revealed how the more risque career choice raked in more dollars than her work as an actress.
The former Disney Channel actress said work as an adult entertainer was more profitable than working as a mainstream actress. She can be seen (left) posing in sexy lingerie on her Instagram page and alongside her co-stars in the Disney Channel TV series Boy Meets World (right)
Ms Ward, who sells online content across various platforms, said on average she earned a five figure salary and her biggest month in 2018 saw her earn $62,000.
‘So when people say she had to turn to porn I laugh, because this is a good thing and I’m making more now.’
And the adult-entertainment actress said she was good at it.
‘I thought I’d be more nervous, but I wasn’t,’ she told the news outlet. ‘It’s been way easier and I’ve enjoyed it so much more than I’d expected. And I’m good at it. It feels natural to me. If you talked to my younger, more virginal soap-opera self, I never would have seen this coming out of me.’
Ms Ward recently received two nominations at the AVN Awards – commonly known as the Oscars of Porn, for Best Three-Way Sex Scene and Best Supporting Actress.
They were in relation to her role in Drive, an erotic thriller that has a running time of three hours and 29 minutes.
Despite only starting working on in the industry five months ago, Ms Ward has quickly become one of the industry’s A-listers, having been dubbed the face of Deeper – a high end XXX brand.
The film, directed by porn actress Kayden Kross, sees Ward play the role of an innocent woman coming out of her shell.
In an earlier interview Ms Ward said there was more depth to porn films than what many, including herself thought.
‘I never knew there was anything in adults or porn or whatever that was this well done,’ she said in reference to her appearance in the erotic thriller.
‘I read the script, and I was like, ‘This is really, really well-written.’ This has so many themes in this and just my character is so different than anything I have portrayed before.’
Aside from her time on Boy Meets World Ms Ward has also played parts in a number of TV series and movies, including Boston Public, and the comedy film White Chicks.
After her on-screen career she moved to New York to study theatre and screen-writing, before her latest foray into the porn industry.

The former Hollywood actress, who is married, said her husband was supportive of her work.
‘My husband has been supportive of me, because this is something that’s in me, that I need to do, and that I like to do,’ she says. ‘And it’s just another kind of performance.’
And she does not appear to show any signs of stopping the show.
She’s due to feature in what she calls an ‘an anti-Hallmark Christmas featurette,’ as a woman seducing a man at a Sex Addicts Anonymous meeting, and a number of other erotic films still in the works.
