Troubled former AFL star Ben Cousins has joined video-sharing website Cameo.

The West Coast great will send a personalised message for $50.

“I’m Ben Cousins, not long since joined Cameo which looks like a bit of fun,’’ he says in a video on the website.

“So get in contact to book me for birthday wishes, shout outs, personal messages, just about anything. I look forward to chatting to you soon.”

Cameo features a raft of stars and celebrities from around the world including Snoop Dogg, Lindsay Lohan and Caitlyn Jenner. Local radio host Kyle Sandilands reportedly charges up to $1000 for a message.

Cameo’s headquarters are in Chicago.

Another video shoutout service used by sport stars including Jack Riewoldt, Patrick Dangerfield, Christian Petracca, Steele Sidebottom and Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins is Swysh which donates a percentage to charity.

Cousins, 42, made a footy comeback in May in the Perth Metro Football League before injuring a hamstring.

His first footy appearance in a decade drew huge crowds.

Cousins played 238 games for West Coast and finished his career at Richmond, and has made headlines for his well publicised drug addiction.

He was sentenced to a seven-month prison term after being found guilty of stalking the mother of his children, Maylea Tinecheff.

In December Cousins was released from prison having served his full sentence.
