For Logan Paul's 200th episode of his "Impaulsive" podcast, the YouTuber invited beauty guru James Charles to talk about drama, cancel culture, his personal life, and more. Charles mentioned that he had considered pursuing OnlyFans, the platform that dozens of influencers have used to market nude and lewd photos.

"Impaulsive" co-host Mike Majlak first asked Charles if he would consider starting an OnlyFans account, and the beauty YouTuber replied that he wants to "so badly."

"I've already posted my ass pictures all over Twitter and stuff so I feel like I have nothing to hide at this point," Charles said. "I've honestly thought about it, they did send me an email, it was a very lucrative offer."

Charles notably posted his own semi-nude photos on Twitter after he says hackers accessed his iCloud photos and Twitter account and threatened to leak them.

Majlak asked if the OnlyFans offer email was "pre-Tana or post-Tana," referring to when YouTuber Tana Mongeau started an "uncensored" OnlyFans page, becoming the most popular influencer besides Blac Chyna to do so. Charles responded that he doesn't follow Mongeau anymore, and said he wouldn't get "into it" when Majlak asked why.

"They reached out to me about it, I don't know, I just [...] don't think it would be the best thing for my brand, really," Charles went on to say. "Especially with a lot of younger kids, I would have no problem tweeting about it, but I feel like if I ever promoted it anywhere else I'd be a little spooked. I don't want 12-year-olds buying my OnlyFans."

Majlak then asked if Charles was worried that the site's title would encourage "fans" to buy it, and Charles replied "No, because it would be my butthole." 

Charles added that he'd love to do OnlyFans because of the "nice check" he'd get from it, but ultimately had decided against making an explicit for-profit page.
