YouTube Sensation: Fred

Welcome to Young Hollywood. com.

Young Hollywood, look who I found.

It's Fred.

Yay!

And he's off his medication today.

I'm not as crazy today as I usually am.

You're getting to view the real deal.

Yeah.

I can make a face.

Here we go.

Not too.

That's him when he's really excited.

So.

Yep, um, I created Fred like two years ago just for fun and it just took it.

I I posted it on the internet just for fun like just to like make my friends laugh.

And then it just spread like wildfire and I'm really lucky and I'm really excited to be here.

Like, who would have guessed, right?

I know.

I know, right?

Like I I would put it on the internet.

I really didn't understand YouTube.

Like I just thought it was like I thought you just put it on there and like maybe like five people would see it, you know?

But then, like, 300 million people saw it, so.

And then you were saying that you're here in LA from Nebraska.

Yeah.

I go to I come to LA ever since the Fred thing took off.

I've been going to LA a lot for like meetings and I was on Hannah Montana and I Carly and for award shows.

I know it's crazy.

I've always wanted to be an actor but living in Nebraska, I didn't think it would happen, but then since um, this whole internet phenomenon thing it's helped made it all happen.

I actually just filmed a um a Fred bit with Miley for the show.

So, that was really fun.

I already met her for the Hannah Montana for I was on Hannah Montana, but it was still fun.

Growing up in Nebraska before you kind of got your fame, was she's like, were you always like, I wonder what Miley's like?

Yeah.

Like I'd always wondered that all the like celebrity.

So I always wonder like, I wonder what they're like in real life.

Like are they like snobs or are they like normal?

Are they But they are really nice.

The other day I was at a store and there was a Fred magnet.

Yeah.

Um Fred merch Fred merchandising licensing agencies and everything have contacted me and it's gotten stuff in all these Fred store and all these stores.

So, Yeah.

My favorite comedians are like Will Ferrell, um Jim Carrey is like my all-time favorite and Ben Stiller and all those people.

They're really funny.

I love their movies.

What what kind of crazy fan stories do you have?

I had like these like in-store signings at Hot Topic cuz I had merchandise there.

So I did in-store signings.

I did one in LA and then like the last girl in line was like this she was like crazy.

Like she was like really into Fred and like she was like crying.

And then I had another one in Las Vegas, which is pretty far away from LA.

Like a pretty long drive.

And she drove there for that one, too.

And she was last in line again and she was like crying and everything.
