School of Rock child star looks unrecognizable after switching acting for OnlyFans
Alexandra B.
A former Hollywood child actor, best known for starring alongside Jack Black in the iconic noughties film School of Rock, has stunned fans with their new edgy appearance and adult content-creating career.
Rivkah Reyes, 33, who now also identifies as non-binary, uses TikTok and Instagram to promote their OnlyFans account.
However, they acknowledge that a lot of their success on the steamy site is thanks to their former career and playing the role of Katie in the 2003 hit movie.
On OnlyFans, Reyes posts the expected explicit adult content, alongside life updates and behind-the-scenes footage of their music-making.
In a video posted to TikTok last week, Reyes posted a video of themself staring into space as saxophones play loudly in the background.
Across the screen, the text read: “Being a former child actor means realising why my Oh Eff does so well.”
Reyes only uses OnlyFans to support her music career
In the comment section, they suggested that they only make adult content to support their music career.
Reyes wrote: “Anyway would LOVE for ya’ll to support and check out my music so that I can quit doing the other thing.” The singer describes their music as “sapphic bubblegrunge”.
Reyes also recently shared a video of themself dancing very suggestively and effectively humping the floor of what looks like a dive bar with rock music playing over the top.
Although they obviously look completely different to their nine-year-old self, Reyes is almost entirely unrecognisable as their arms are covered in tattoos and they appear to often wear dark, revealing clothes.
The former child star was just nine years old when she got the role of Katie, the quiet but incredibly talented cellist-turned-bassist in the kids' musical comedy.
The Hollywood hit was fronted by Jack Black, who played the role of a struggling guitarist who fakes his identity and accidentally becomes a substitute teacher at a middle school.
It was such a success that in 2015, legendary composer Andrew Lloyd Webber adapted the movie into a smash-hit Broadway and West End stage musical. Nickelodeon also ran a successful three-season live-action television adaptation of School of Rock from 2016 to 2018.
Reyes was tormented by her real classmates after her success
However, tragically, after the film’s release, Reyes’ life became much harder, as when they returned to their normal school they faced daily battles against relentless bullies.
It ultimately led to them taking a very extended break from acting and only returning almost 15 years later in 2017.
In a 2021 interview with the New York Post, Reyes recalled: “Especially after production wrapped, when I first came back to school, people were really nice or really mean. There was no middle ground.
“I was literally followed around the school with people chanting School of Rock.”
They revealed that the harassment from their peers led to them becoming “a raging addict” and was forced to eventually overcome “a lot of demons”.
