Meet the woman raking in up to over $25,000 a month - by working as Megan Fox lookalike.

Taylor Ryan, 26, is making a tidy sum by imitating the Hollywood star - after previously working as a van driver and barista.

She quit Costa Coffee to become a full-time double in 2020 and now carries out fan requests for serious cash.

Taylor, from Exeter, says she loves her job - but it is much harder work than people assume.

She regularly does thirteen-hour days and logs on at weekends to film specialist videos.

Taylor said: “There’s a lot of hard work that goes into it. It’s extremely time-consuming.

“If I get certain requests on the weekend I do those too, so it’s a pretty hectic life.”

Taylor started posting on adult site OnlyFans in 2018.

And when friends started commenting that she looked like Fox, 36, she decided to make that her niche.

Taylor adopted the Transformer star's winged eyeliner and leather look - and saw her online profile rocket.

She now films personal clips for fans - including acting out some of Fox's raunchier scenes.

Taylor said: "Once someone requested for me to wear the same outfit Megan Fox wears - a bra top and short denim shorts - to bend over the bonnet and open it.

"They paid $300 (£236).

"A lot of them are just for me to sit in a car topless and play with my boobs."

Taylor was diagnosed with autism in October last year.

She says this means her clients have to be direct - otherwise, she might not know what they want.

Taylor said: “I'm quite offensive sometimes. But now I have an excuse: it's not me - it’s the autism!

“It’s difficult to explain, but I don't really understand people’s emotions.

“My customers need to say exactly what they say they need or I just don’t understand.

“I think I'd always known that I was autistic. Getting the diagnosis is just confirmation - but I don’t see it as a bad thing.

“I'm really to the point and can’t be quite offensive.

“I’ll say like, 'God you’re top is ugly', then realize that’s not how most people interact.

“I don’t see it as anything terrible though - if we were all the same it would be boring.”

Taylor says her working days normally last for nine hours - and she is also “swamped with admin.”

She said: “My favorite part of the job is getting ready and seeing the look come together.

“I put my music on and have a coffee on the go - the glamming up part I really enjoy.”
