Before Sofia Gomez was one of the biggest creators on social media, she was selling Eggo Waffles on national television. She wasn't even old enough to drive.
Now 23, the content creator — who has over 5.2 million TikTok followers and more than 150 million likes — is opening up about her unlikely path from child commercial star to OnlyFans powerhouse, revealing that the platform she's best known for was never actually part of the plan.
"When I was younger, I spent three years in California, and I really wanted to get into acting," Gomez shared in an emailed statement on Thursday, March 5. "I did a bunch of big, big commercials. Eggo Waffles, Sprint, a McDonald's ad that I think played during the Super Bowl. That's actually how I got my SAG credits."

According to Gomez, those early commercial gigs even put her around directors connected to the 1994 comedy Dumb and Dumber. “I loved every second of that world, but my family ended up moving to Florida,” she said. “And then I ended up getting a scholarship for musical theater while I was in high school.”
Gomez went on to blow up on TikTok around age 16, going viral for her now-famous Perry the Platypus impression and anime cosplay content. But even as millions of followers poured in, she says OnlyFans was never on her radar.
"People had been asking me to make one since I started posting, and I was like, 'I'm never gonna do that ever,'" she explained. "But I don't come from a family with a lot of money, and I realized it would be kind of stupid to let that opportunity pass me by. Everything I was interested in, if I had enough money, I could fund it myself."
It's not the first time Gomez has been candid about wanting more from her career. In a 2021 interview with Her Campus, she spoke about her passion for voice acting, calling it "the purest form of the craft" because "you're only as old as your voice." Since then she's landed the lead voice role of Tee Zeng in the English dub of Kung Fu Sock, according to her IMDb page, and released her debut solo single "Replay" in May 2025 via Apple Music.
Still, Gomez says the creative itch has never gone away. The hardest part, she admits, is doing it alone. "I have so many songs that I want to release, and honestly, the only thing holding me back is that the process is so complicated and I'm kind of alone in it," she said. "Who knows if anyone wants to hear them, but I want to release them."
