Toni Mahfud - Instagram Star, Facts and Family

Toni Mahfud was born on December 2, 1994 into an artistically inclined family in Hamburg, Germany. He was always interested in creating art and even though he never took any professional training for the same, he had a good hand in sketching.

The artistic instincts led him to draw the sketches of his favourite anime characters on blank paper - when he was just 4! He was a good student in school and excelled in academics, hence, making a career in art never quite seemed like a plausible future goal for him.

He kept doodling around until he was a teenager and that was precisely the time when he realized that he can never be far away from art and this further led him to concentrate more on his artistic skills.

Around 2011, as he was about to graduate from high school, the social media was becoming a rage among the youth and he started putting his artworks for the world to see and appreciate. Rightly so, he started growing his fans on social media and by the time he got out of high school, he was already a major celebrity back in his home country of Germany.

His social media fame had him making waves on Facebook, where he posted his sketches and gained thousands of followers. This continued until he created his Instagram and Twitter accounts. Along with his artwork, he started uploading his own pictures in different poses. His chiselled physique and gorgeous looks helped him attract further more people.

This helped him receive several modelling offers from top agencies such as Tommy Hilfiger and he appeared in many of their commercial advertisements. He also walked the ramp for many major designers during several fashion weeks in Europe.

What brought his popularity to the lanes of Hollywood were his portraits of Adele, Channing Tatum and Angelina Jolie from her film ‘Maleficent’. This endeavour received major publicity and he eventually got signed on with IMG modelling agency. With them he participated in promotional campaigns for brands such as Adidas, Tigha, Nike and G-Star Raw.

He is also receiving some acting offers to star in American and German films, but anything is yet to be finalised.

The multi-talented personality has also been an active photographer, blogger and communication designer. He considers himself to be a pure artist and says that he will try everything possible to be known as a famed artist.

Although his YouTube account was created in 2015, he hasn’t been very active on the platform. He mainly uploads videos showing his fast painting skills. His YouTube account presently has a little over than 133k subscribers.

His Instagram account has about 3.3 million subscribers, which almost matches any major film star or model. He posts his own pictures, his sketches combined with inspirational and motivational quotes.

He has not shared any details about his family, and has also been secretive about his romantic relationships.
