LOGAN PAUL
Logan Alexander Paul (born April 1, 1995) is an American actor, director, and internet personality. Paul first gained fame through videos shared on former internet video service Vine. Paul's television and film work includes starring as guest appearances on TV series' Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Weird Loners, and films The Thinning and Airplane Mode.
Paul attracted controversy in January 2018 when he uploaded a vlog of his encounter with a deceased man who had committed suicide in Aokigahara, Japan to YouTube.
The video led to backlash and criticism from celebrities, politicians, and other YouTubers.
BEGINNING
Paul was born on April 1, 1995, in Westlake, Ohio, the son of Pamela Ann Stepnick (née Meredith) and realtor Gregory Allan Paul.
He has claimed to possess English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Jewish ancestry. Growing up in Ohio with younger brother Jake, Paul began creating internet videos for a YouTube channel called Zoosh when he was 10 years old.
Paul attended Westlake High School, achieving the ranks of the Plain Dealer's All-Star linebacker on the football team in 2012, and qualifying for the state-level Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) 2013 Division I Wrestling Individual Championships.
By the time he was ready to attend college, his YouTube channel had attained a modest following. He majored in Industrial Engineering at Ohio University before dropping out in 2014 to pursue a career as a social media entertainer full-time in Los Angeles,moving into an apartment complex in LA with other Vine stars.
Paul was only 19 at the start of his career.
In October 2015, Paul lived in the same apartment complex on Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood, California as other fellow social media celebrities, like Amanda Cerny,
Juanpa Zurita, and Andrew Bachelor, with his roommates Mark Dohner and Evan "Dwarf Mamba" Eckenrode. It was this that allowed various collaborations with one another on their videos. In October 2017, Paul and Eckenrode relocated to an estate in Rancho Mirage, California, having been evicted from their previous residence. On February 10, 2018,
Paul revealed that nearly twenty individuals were living with him in his estate.
HEALTH
In October 2017, Paul revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that he was missing 15% of his right testicle from the result of a stunt. For one of his Vine videos,
Paul was at a shopping mall and during the stunt had landed onto a chair with his right testicle afflicted. Three days after the stunt, Paul decided to go to a hospital where
he was told the right testicle had been damaged.
Paul claims to be red-green colorblind. However, he has been parodied and criticized by
YouTube personalities such as h3h3Productions and iDubbbz for faking his reactions in a video, in which he used color-corrective glasses for the first time.
Paul himself admits that he "embellished" and "exaggerated [his] reactions" to the glasses, while adding that he "did not lie" about his impairment.
