Christopher O'Flyng

Chris was born on January 4, 1997 in Wisconsin, USA. He completed his high school education from D C Everest High School. Growing up in Wisconsin was not easy for him as the town had no prominent entertainment industry. This made Chris feel like a misfit as his sole aim was to make a name for himself in the entertainment field. Thanks to the internet, Chris managed to realize his dream and is now well on his way to becoming a star that he always wanted to be.

Chris commenced his YouTube career in 2011. He was inspired by the comedy videos posted on YouTube by the comedy group, ‘Smosh’. Intrigued by the overwhelming response their channel received, Chris made up his mind to build a career in this field.

He started following the style of YouTube personality and comedian, Ryan Higa which helped him to shape his career. He convinced his friend Luke Korn, who was also a newbie, to make videos along with him. For the next three years, Chris and Luke posted their videos on the channel ‘UncleKornicob’ which they created together. Chris eventually went solo and launched his own channel, ‘Christopheroflyng’.

The first video that Chris posted after the launch of his channel was titled, ‘My name is Chris O'Flyng’. He started off by posting comedy videos and eventually tried his hand at posting various other videos as well. Chris expanded his range by incorporating different elements into his comedy videos. Videos involving mimicries, lip-syncs, stand-ups and crazy challenges garnered him a huge number of followers.

He then shifted his focus toward making some serious, issue-based videos. Chris spoke about many youth-related issues that were considered taboo. He debuted in this new genre with a video in which he openly discussed his sexual orientation. Chris made perfect use of his social media fame to tell his own life story. He confessed about being a multi-sexual and advocated self-acceptance. He lashed out at people who are shallow-minded and those who take pride in being judgemental.

This video inspired many of its viewers and encouraged them to come out of their shells. Chris then came up with the idea of one-on-one candid chats with his fans. The idea created quite a flurry on the internet.

Chris will soon be seen on the big screen as he is all set to make his film debut. He will be playing the lead role in the upcoming horror flick, ‘Soul Reaper’. In the film, Chris will play the role of Mike, a lionhearted guy who is stalked by a serial killer hidden in the woods. The film will be directed by James Crow and will be distributed by4Digital Media.
