Hey my Underhill's welcome to another edition of chatting with today, I'm here with Gavin
Gavin Magnus, what do you tell people that you do when they ask you?
Well, usually I tell them that I'm an actor singer
dancer
Pretty much everything I do it all gymnasts
Gymnast. Mm-hmm. How'd you get into entertainment?
when I first start acting I was about nine years old, so
for three years ago
actually my first role like the first audition that I ever did acting I
Booked the role which is super exciting like I was so nervous on my first audition
yeah, I think it was two years or after I was started doing the acting and stuff that I am I
started
Or I I was at chick-fil-a with my mom and I told her I said mom
I really want to be a singer one day and so fast forward
Three years later now. I am signed by Capitol Records and I
just and
Wow a month my my music video just hit 17 million views and only a month which is pretty crazy talk about crush him
Senior itzá changer so pressure was released seven
seven months ago and that's at
14 16 million and Cerritos released I think four weeks ago
It's already at 17 million. It passed that up. Wow so fast, that's awesome. What's your least favorite part about the job?
What job I think yeah being an influencer
Probably the backlash the hate that you get like you could do the smallest thing
Yeah, and then you can get just a massive amount of hate
I mean
I mean obviously like you like you got a deal with it
Like haters are gonna hate it and stuff and like, you know, you have to learn to like brush it off
yeah, but sometimes it can get to a point where like
You just can't take it no. Yeah, it's a break yeah you wish
You can like be immune to it, but it it always staying yeah
but um, other than that
I love it. It's yeah
It's awesome
So you got an old coming out?
Soon. Yes, you're working on that now working on that now
um
I just did a cover and then we're releasing another cover
Or I just did two covers and we're releasing another cover soon. We're filming that music video
I think in two three weeks and then we're working on the album
So I'm super excited for a bunch of original music to come out. It's what we've always wanted to have that out
Like I only have one two original songs not now and recover
So I'm super excited to have a bunch of little songs out
Some people have been saying like you're the next Justin Bieber. Do you feel like that's the case?
I feel I mean he's definitely my biggest inspiration
I mean ever since I was there's a video on my mom's YouTube channel from seven years ago, and it was me
I think I was six years old and I had like the Justin Bieber bold cut and stuff
And I had and I was dancing on top of my dining table
singing - just seen
Justin Bieber, you're the number two most popular twelve-year-old in the world. Yes
I'm the number one 12 real boy in the world. According to WHO, huh. According to WHO according to Mimi's birthday
so we have like so they scale like everyone's like
Number one like who's the most part like the most-searched?
12 year old like like I'm the most searched most like view 12 year old in the world right now. So whose number was um,
Piper's but she's also way bigger than me and she's she's also been doing it long in me and she's also a girl's so
All right. Yeah
So there's this drama, I guess with Piper. Yes Raquel. Yes, so
What's the story behind that basically what has been happening over the past?
month or two is
so I
Met her about seven months ago seven eight months ago. Okay, and I thought nothing of it
she was like
She was gonna be in my music video Ryan if we're all super excited and we thought they were they were super nice at first
and like, you know, we thought like oh
We eventually became
very good friends with them and then
over time it just
Developed being somewhat abusive
And a mentally unstable environment just like to be around and it became so
Hard to deal with eventually. So who broke up with whom?
No one broke up with anyone. Okay, it was the mom
so the kids have nothing to do with this the kids like we were all best friends right like we
Literally, we're like that like we were best friends and it was the mom who was the crazy one who split us apart
and I remember she texted me one day or
She texted me the day that I went to VidCon that I left for VidCon
She texts me something like oh
Or no she texted my mom something like that. I have an act that I acted weirder that I was acting unusual
Then I think for three no it was about three days into VidCon
My dad called me and he asked me he was like this isn't working. Like what do you want to do?
Do you want to keep working with them or do you want to stop working with them?
cuz it'll like take a bunch of weight off your shoulders and like it'll be so much easier for you and
Like it took me a while to like kind of decide what I wanted to do
And so eventually I decided that I didn't want to work with them. Anyone that I didn't like would it be around them anymore?
And I was just due to the fact that like I said, it was too much pressure. It was like too much I
Was too much you can hang out with this person or if you were friends with Piper
You had you had a very small circle of friends. You could be friends with and I
Couldn't go anything out with like all my other friends
it was if I did she would tell me she would threaten me that she wouldn't work with me if I
Didn't hang out with the people she told me to or if I hung out with someone that she didn't like or she didn't approve
Of she would phone and I work with me or just something like that hmmm
This is all the mom. Yeah, this is all the month, huh?
She sent me multiple texts
harassing me in text messages saying how she was like
Calling me names and saying that she was done working with me and saying how horrible of a person I am and just saying
It was kind of like how two kids would fight. Yeah, but it's it was a
30 year old 40 year old woman. Yeah
attacking a totaled kid
Is there anything you want to tell your fandom?
Get along
get along because
There's been a bunch of controversy between the two theaters that you're high porosity in the go fan as I recall the fandoms. I
noticed a bunch of arguments and oh
This person's innocent and this person's guilty in this person's innocent. Do you miss Piper?
Yes, I do. Um
but then I also have to realize like I gotta think about I
Do but then I realized that it wasn't good for me like it wasn't like a good environment and stuff so yeah
It's hard. Yeah, when you're torn is it hard being a kid celebrity?
yes, and no, like I said like the hate and stuff and just
right and not only that but like the overall pressure is like everything like
whether it's not filming a YouTube video or not being active on your social media and your
Fans wondering where you've been and it's just so many like like I said, it's so many little things that yeah
I trigger all the fans and like
it's
It's a very consistent job. It's very hard to be consistent
Or as consistent as your supporters want you to be yourself. Do you work every day?
Um, yes, but it doesn't feel like it because it's what I love doing like
All right every day, like I like I'm doing stuff to help my career
But it doesn't feel like I'm working because I love doing it and it's like are you worried that?
You might be missing out on normal childhood
No
No, because I still socialize with friends. I still have so many friends and I socialize with and honestly in
my opinion I don't
See a purpose and I don't really believe in public school if that makes any sense like yeah
A lot of people it takes them a long time to figure out what they want to do
Even great late late into their 20s and you definitely want to be a pop star
All right. What's your ultimate dream Madison Square Gardens, how do you plan on getting there hard work?
Very good, who is your biggest supporter?
Definitely my mom and my dad hmm, probably more. So my dad I'm just kidding
Yeah, my mom my dad but then there's also some some pretty crazy fans
You won't believe the things that yeah, you get approached everywhere. Oh, yeah everywhere like, um,
The mall, yeah everywhere literally, but I like it. It is your fan base
It's like what age do you know like to your age?
like 8 to
8 to
15
Yeah
You'd make a lot of money
Um
It definitely supports me and I support my family
I'm not gonna be like cocky or anything. But um sure it definitely does like help me my family like
keeps a roof over our head and like pays the bills pays the bills but um
You know
it's just even if it didn't even I
Even if I wasn't getting paid, I'd still do this cuz it's what I love. I mean I did this
Four years ago. I did YouTube night made didn't even make a cent
I filmed on an iPhone and yeah got 20 views on my videos, but I loved it. I still loved being
Present in front of the camera. What are some of your favorite youtubers, uh
I've two really favorite youtubers right now
david, dobrik and tina ronger I
Used to be like obsessed with Tina ronger and now I am like I just started like watching all his videos
Definitely david dobrik for sure. How do you come up with the ideas for your videos?
um, so when I come up with the ideas for my videos either I come up with an original idea or I
Go off a trend so there will be like trends on YouTube like certain challenges like last to leave challenges
so like
I'll see I'll see you the concept of the word last to leave and then I'll add my status peddling
Last to leave this or last to leave like the pool

mystery so in the way
I like dick like truth or dare step videos like that or like
