American actress and model Lexi Sample has come a long way in the past few years, launching and expanding her career to become one of the hottest all-rounders regarding TV and stardom.
Born in 1998 in New Jersey, Lexi has gone from OnlyFans notoriety to TikTok, where she now has over 70,000 followers. She also has over 60,000 followers on Instagram, and this year, she starred in Heartbreak Island Australia. In the show, filmed on the island paradise of Fiji, 16 singles from across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and the US put everything on the line to find their perfect match while competing for $100,000 cash.
Lexi Sample entered the season as an “intruder” in Episode 6, joining a group speed date, where she caught up with some of the guys who had been in the season for the first few episodes. And while she didn’t find the love of her life, she had a great experience.
“I met people from all over the world,” she says. Though if she had her time again, she would “have a strategy to win.”
While she has aspirations to become a “famous” model and actress, she draws her strength from her past.
“It’s a hard subject, but my father abused me as a child,” she says. “Even though it was a horrible thing to happen, it made me who I am today, and I would never have been as strong if it wasn’t for that.
“I am now extremely strong, and nothing can tear me down.”
This strength and comfort in her skin have been prominent in her career. Her OnlyFans account draws her plenty of attention and is something she started because she’s so comfortable with who she is. It was also an excellent way to earn a passive income.
“If I can make some extra money for being hot, why not give it a try?” she says.
Lexi has always wanted to be a model but believes her 5’0 stature has been holding her back, though this doesn’t deter her from having goals to influence the industry.
“I feel like my extreme confidence makes me stand out.”
She says being short also helps her stand out and states that many girls are afraid to start in the world of modeling because they are faster than expected.
“They should still give it a try,” she says. “I’d love to be that short girl on the runway showing other short girls that it’s possible.”
And with Lexi Sample, anything is possible. She’s a natural in front of a camera and believes confidence and being yourself are the key.
“Many people try to fake who they are because there’s a camera on them, and they’re afraid of being judged. But people are going to do that regardless.
“It’s better to be known for who you are than to be portrayed as someone you’re not.”
What’s next for Lexi?
“I would love to get on Too Hot to Handle or Love Island USA. I feel like I could win those shows, and I’d love to try to make a connection with someone that isn’t in my area,” she says.
She also hopes that within the next five years, she will buy a house and star on the cover of a magazine. And if there is one thing she’s learned throughout her life’s experience?
“I’ve learned never to be afraid. And if something doesn’t work out, there’s a reason for that.”
