LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THIS
GUY NEXT TO ME.
13 MILLION PEOPLE AROUND THE
WORLD FOLLOW HIM ON INSTAGRAM.
AND 6.6 MILLION ON YOUTUBE.
WITH YOUR OUTRAGEOUS ANTICS,
YOUR LARGER-THAN-LIFE
PERSONALITY, YOUR SARCASTIC
HUMOR, AND YOU JUST TURNED 21.
I'M 21 NOW, DON'T ASK FOR MY
ID.
DID YOU EVER THINK YOU WOULD
GET TO THIS LEVEL OF SUCCESS AT
21?
I DON'T THINK ANYONE EVER
THINKS ABOUT WHERE THEY ARE
GOING TO END UP.
I ALWAYS KNEW I WANTED TO BE
A JOURNALIST.
I GUESS I COULD SAY THE THING
-- SAY THE SAME.
I'D GUESS I ALWAYS KNEW I WAS
GOING TO BE A STAR, BUT I DIDN'T
KNOW I WOULD HAVE 13 MILLION
FOLLOWERS.
I COULD TAKE OVER HAWAII SIX
TIMES IF I WANTED TO.
TELL US HOW YOU GOT TO THIS
POINT.
YOU ARE ORIGINALLY FROM THE
PHILIPPINES
.
BUT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR
YEARS.
I
STARTED WHEN I WAS 16, SO
FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS NOW.
AND IT FIRST STARTED ON
SNAPCHAT.
YES,
AND IT IS ONLY UP FOR 24
HOURS.
I STARTED ON SNAPCHAT, MY
FRIENDS TOLD ME TO PUT IT ON
INSTAGRAM.
MY FRIEND SHOWED MY VIDEO TO HER
UNCLE
AND IT JUST KIND OF BLEW
UP.
YOU WERE JUST BEING
YOURSELF.
FROM YOUR FUNNY ANTICS, FROM THE
VIDEOS YOU DID JUST FOR YOUR
FRIENDS, IT ENDED UP BEING LOVED
BY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE
WORLD.
NOW YOU HAVE ALL THESE DIFFERENT
COLLABORATIONS.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR
COLLABORATIONS.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HOW LONG
COLLABORATIONS TOOK.
I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR
ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS NOW.
WHAT ARE WE SEEING ON THE
SCREEN RIGHT NOW?
THIS WAS MY COLLABORATION
WITH BENEFIT.
I WAS JUST KIND OF LIKE BEING
ME.
SOMEHOW MY FACE ENDED UP AT
SEPHORA.
I'M IMAGINING THAT AT 14
OR
15 YOU WERE GOING TO SEPHORA AND
BUYING PRODUCTS, NOW YOUR FACE
LITERALLY IS AT SEPHORA.
THAT IS SO SURREAL.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT ALMOST
FELT LIKE IT WASN'T ME.
IT WAS HARD TO BELIEVE
, IT WAS
LIKE, THAT'S NOT ME.
IS IT A HUMBLING EXPERIENCE?
DEFINITELY, YES.
EVEN WHEN I WAS DOING THAT SHOOT
FOR IT,
IT WAS HARD TO WRAP MY
MIND AROUND IT.
LET'S WRAP OUR MINDS AROUND
YOUR 13.6 MILLION FOLLOWERS ON
INSTAGRAM.
WHAT IS IT LIKE FOR PEOPLE
TO
LOOK UP TO YOU AND WANT TO BE
JUST LIKE YOU?
NEVER DO IT FOR THE FAME, I
DON'T BELIEVE YOU CAN MEASURE OR
TOUCH FAME.
I DON'T THINK FAME IS REAL.
IT'S JUST PART OF THE
JOB.
DO IT FOR YOURSELF, DO IT
BECAUSE YOU LIKE MAKING VIDEOS
OR BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU BELONG
IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.
I WOULD MAKE COMMERCIALS WITH MY
MOMS FACE PRODUCTS.
MY ADVICE IS NEVER DO IT FOR THE
FAME OR THE MONEY.
DO IT FOR YOU AND DO IT BECAUSE
YOU LOVE IT.
YOU HAVE MET SO MANY PEOPLE.
GIVE ME THE ONE PERSON THAT YOU
WERE SO STARSTRUCK BY.
I WENT TO FASHION WEEK LAST
WEEK.
THE ONE PERSON THAT I WAS
STARSTRUCK WITH WAS THE
VICTORIA'S SECRET MODEL.
I WAS SO STARSTRUCK.
IT'S A FACE I HAVE ALWAYS
ADMIRED.
I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING HER
SINCE
I WAS 18.
SHE HAS BEEN FOLLOWING ME FOR SO
LONG.
WHEN I SAW HER IT WAS KIND OF
LIKE SEEING AN ANGEL.
IT FELT LIKE THERE WERE
SPOTLIGHTS ON HER.
AND THEN SHE WAVED AT ME.
I WAS LIKE, OH MY GOD,
SHE WAVED
AT ME.
BRIGETTE: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING HERE.
YOU WILL HAVE TO COME BACK.
I WILL, CATCH ME NEXT
YEAR.
WE ARE SENDING IT OVER TO LAUREN
NOW.
LAUREN: I LOVE YOUR
CONFIDENCE.
