Drea de Matteo is best known as Adriana La Cerva on the HBO series The Sopranos, but she’s currently working the fashion runway with a cigarette in her mouth.
De Matteo, 54, played Adriana, the fiancée of Tony Soprano’s nephew, Christopher Moltisanti, on the iconic series, which ran from 1999 to 2007. The series earned endless acclaim for its depiction of a New Jersey mob boss, Tony Soprano, played by the legendary James Gandolfini. With her sharp nails, impeccable makeup, and barrel curls, De Matteo looked every bit the part of the stereotypical mafia girlfriend on the series. However, it was her wise attitude and knowledge about the organized crime world that made it clear she had staying power throughout most of the show’s run.
Fast forward to the present day, and De Matteo doesn’t do much acting onscreen. However, she did just work the runway at the OnlyFans x Natasha Zinko show at Collins Music Theatre in Islington, north London, during London Fashion Week. Looking super chic in a silk tank and sweats, the beauty ripped a cigarette as she made her way down the catwalk.

Earlier this year, De Matteo opened up in a new interview about how the acting life isn’t really for her. Instead, it was really just a way to make a living. Her passion lies elsewhere, and she recently launched THE ULTRAFREE PODCAST.
“It never interested me,” she told Fox News Digital. “After The Sopranos, I really had no interest in doing it anymore. I did it to pay bills when I needed to. I would take jobs when it was absolutely necessary. But to just continue being in that hamster wheel of Hollywood, I just didn’t have an interest in it.”
However, things went downhill when the pandemic hit, and her house went into foreclosure. That’s when she decided to join OnlyFans to make ends meet.
“The breaking point was when I had to join OnlyFans to save my home,” De Matteo continued. “We were in foreclosure over the mandates. Not even over the mandate. They [the California government], this whole thing that was set up, forbearances, ‘Take a forbearance, take a longer forbearance, do this, do that. We got you covered. We’re going to take care of everybody.’ And then nobody was taken care of. And then letters were coming to the door.”
