- Hey, I'm Dylan O'Brien.
So apparently,
when you search Dylan O'Brien trivia on Google,
over 400,000 results come up,
so we're gonna go through a bunch of these
and see what's right or wrong.
This is called "Trivia Fact Check."
(upbeat music)
This is dangerous, now I'm like,
"What the, what's it saying about me out there?"
"Dylan O'Brien is his full name.
He does not have a middle name."
That's not true, I have a middle name.
Now I don't wanna tell you.
(buzzer buzzes)
Dylan Rhodes O'Brien, it's my mother's maiden name.
"Dylan cannot sleep well unless he has his pillow with him."
Yeah, this is very true.
(bell dinging)
I've got it right here in the other room,
as I am abroad right now
Still to this day, bring my pillow everywhere.
I board every plane with it,
I have a whole system of getting it through security
and then changing the pillowcase.
"His first kiss at the age of 14."
I was actually 15, so one year off.
(buzzer buzzes)
"Played drums in a band called Slow Kids at Play."
That is true.
That is very true.
(buzzer dinging)
That was my high school band,
we started when we were like 17.
Well, we just did a reunion show, last year, actually.
"Dylan O'Brien is a New York Mets fan."
See, now this is, I would say,
the most common fact out there about me,
which, again, is just not true.
No truth to it whatsoever.
(bell dinging)
The Mets mean a lot to me,
it's pretty impossible and weird
to describe to people, I would say.
"Dylan watches every game that the Mets play."
That's not so much true anymore.
You know, adulthood.
(buzzer buzzing)
"He also got to throw out the first pitch
to make his dreams come true."
That is true.
Ting.
Can we put up a little thing there?
September 2017,
I got to throw out the first pitch at a Mets game.
It was terrifying,
and there was like no one in the stadium, too,
so it was like the lowest pressure situation
that you could ever possibly go into.
"Before Dylan O'Brien got famous," Jesus,
"he had a YouTube channel, back in 2006,
named moviekidd826.
Before his acting career took off,
Dylan was a YouTuber
who made sketches and random silly videos.
He even once lip-synced to the Spice Girls song,
"Wannabe," so adorbs."
These are direct quotes, aren't they?
Yeah, that's completely true.
(buzzer dinging)
"moviekidd826, where did that come from?"
Well, I was 13, I think, when I made it,
826 is my birthday.
Two Ds, I must've thought was cool.
"Before pursuing acting,
Dylan planned to attend Syracuse
to study sports broadcasting."
This is partly true.
(buzzer dinging)
Syracuse was a school that I had gotten into
and it was the only school that like gave me like
a scholarship for sports broadcasting
as a result of these YouTube videos.
And also,
I was rejected from every film school that I applied to,
pissed off those same videos.
"When Dylan moved to California, he didn't have any friends,
so he became obsessed with the TV show "Friends,"
and has seen each episode at least 11 times."
Okay, pieces of that are true.
No friends, absolutely.
It was a rough, rough transition in my life,
sensitive age.
He became obsessed with the TV show "Friends,"
yes, me and my sister.
And 11 times, maybe not.
That might've, that part's just me kind of saying it.
"Because of Dylan's obsessions with "Friends,"
his first celebrity crush ever was Jennifer Aniston."
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, Jennifer Aniston was, that's totally true.
Ting.
We can put up the little graphic again
that I've established,
that now you guys have to accommodate, whoo!
"One of Dylan's most embarrassing moments
was when a school teacher showed his class
one of his YouTube videos."
Yep.
(bell dinging)
So one day, yeah,
she popped down the screen and put on my video
and I walked straight out of the classroom
and I walked straight home.
I'm a very innately shy human,
which is why it's ironic that this has become my career.
"After getting his first paycheck,
Dylan bought his mom a birthday card."
(laughs) I don't think this is,
I don't know, I don't, I have no idea.
(buzzer buzzes)
"Favorite shoes are old school, '90s Adidas."
The Adidas thing, I believe,
came from an early episode of "Teen Wolf."
(buzzer dinging)
They were my shoes from one season,
or an episode, or something,
and I ended up keeping for like eight years you know and,
like I do with shoes, and fans caught on, go figure.
The internet is dangerous, watch what you'd say.
Now that's gonna cause something,
there's gonna be something that that does to my life.
Check out "Love and Monsters," now streaming on Netflix.
