Back in July 2022, Oliver opened up about his experiences on the “Anything Goes with James English podcast”. While speaking on the platform, Oliver expressed some regret about his career choice. Oliver revealed that while starting out as a p*rn star, he earned just £150 per movie and often had regrets about making a career switch.

He shared about his experiences, saying,

That was terrifying, being on my first set. People used to say to me, ‘You’re doing it all anyway’, because they knew I used to sleep with girls, I was a player – and they said, ‘You might as well get paid for it’.”

He also shared how he could have earned more if he stayed with Crystal Palace and became a professional footballer. Oliver also shared how he used to fight as well, and maybe he could have gone somewhere with that too.

Girlfriend

Oliver Spedding was reportedly dating Sophie, a fellow p*rn star, prior to his death. The pair first met each other while acting on an adult film set before eventually striking up a romance. Sophie has been working as an adult actress since 2017 and gained prominence after a video of her and fellow actress Rebecca More went viral in 2018. Notably, Sophie has appeared on various podcasts discussing her life since 2022. She was also a team captain on the popular Canadian OutTV sex education quiz show, “F**king Smart”.
