Researching Brothers Neo and Swan, French youtube, comic book, and tv stars. With celebrity scandal, a gay kid, and n*de dudes from Les Eyzies

Yesterday I researched San Diego Pooth because of his unusual name, and ended up with a celebrity kid, famous in Germany, plus an opportunity to use my college German. 

Today it's French

In case you're keeping track, I was an English and Modern Languages major, so I studied Spanish, French, German, Latin, and a little Greek and Russian.  French is my favorite language, maybe because there is so much queer content in the bandes dessinées: Tintin and Captain Haddock, Alix and Enak, Corentin and Kim, Spirou and Fantasio.

So when Néo the One, a 21-year old gars from Bordeaux, popped up on my recommendations, I started research even though I never heard of him.  Turns out that he's got 778,000 Instagram followers. 

Néo the One posts mostly beefcake and family photos.  Here he's doing sit-ups in the snow, in three different pairs of pants.

But being exceptionally hot is not enough to get 778,000 followers.  He must be famous for something else.

Néo's younger brother, Swan the Voice, age 15, has 668,000 Instagram followers.  They also have a Sweo Shop where you can buy clothing "made with fun." 

Left: At a Halloween party, they're dressed as superheroes Homelander and Soldier Boy from The Boys, who happen to be s*x partners.  

Their main claim to fame is a Youtube channel with seven million subscribers.  

Some of the videos are in French:

Ne jamais passer des dumplings en classe! (Never boil dumplings in class).

J'ai volé les Noveaux Brainrots! (I stole the new brainrots) 

Un diner presque parfait (An almost perfect dinner).

Some are in Franglais:

Live Piscine (swimming pool) Chill

Some  are in English:

"Eat 100 years of candy"

"Who is the murderer in our villa?"

"I built a secret swimming pool in my room."

Swan & Neo Brothers, an animated tv series, premiered in 2022.  52 episodes have aired to date, dubbed in many languages, including Albanian, Finnish, Hebrew, and Thai.

On RG Beefcake and Boyfriends: A n*de guy from Bordeaux, in case I can't find any of Neo.

Matthew Beem hitchhikes n*de takes a polar plunge, builds secret rooms to spy on his internet star friends. With four of their d*cks

I grew up before the internet, so I instinctively think of entertainment as books, movies, and tv programs written and performed by professionals and distributed by corporations. But there's a whole world out there of short form, amateur videos that I had no idea existed. 

Topper Guild posts stories about saving his friend from an evil cult, surviving the strictest school in the world, and so on to his 88 million subscribers.

Matthew Beem, who has "only" eight million subscribers, does wacky DIY projects, like turning his room into a fishbowl, or a building a minecraft maze for his hamster. 

The first two episodes of his Hulu series, Matthew Beem Creator Essentials, introduced me to more multi-million subscriber Internet stars.

 

Episode 1: Matthew renovates iShowSpeed's tour bus, and adds a secret room so he can spy on the dude as he...um...does things.  He's discovered almost immediately, but still, I have to wonder, what was he hoping to see?

IShowSpeed, real name Darren Jason Watkins, Jr. started with gaming, and moved into livestreaming and rap music, gaining 53 million subscribers. He has livestreamed in 67 countries. The Speed Goes Pro tour ended with a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. 

Plus he's won about a dozen Streamer Awards.  And posted pictures of his d*ck. Maybe that's what Matthew wanted to see in his secret room.

In Episode 2. Matthew and his crew do some home improvement projects for his internet star friends:

A custom dog house for Salish Matter, who started with posts about her daily skincare routine, gaining 3.5 million subscribers.  She started her own skincare brand at age 16, and also posts about gymnastics and family "matters" with her father, Jordan (n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends).

Next Matthew and his crew create a gaming room for the Costco Guys, including mock-ups of their Juiceful packages, a giant chocolate chip cookie, and the world's biggest Pokemon card.

Ayden Mekus: Croatian tease, star of quirky shorts and "what happens next will shock you" videos, into Jesus, dudes, girls, and tongues.

 

Link to the n*de photos

When Ayden Mekus popped up on the teen idol website, I wanted to do a profile because of his unusual name -- is he Croatian?   

And because a lot of the photos on the site show him with his girlfriend sticking her tongue out.  Either he's way into tongues or he likes to have her insult his fans: "I'm so much better than you, because I have him and you losers don't!" 

I guess the younger generation finds that attractive.  Ayden has over a million followers on TikTok and Instagram, and 14,000 on X.   

There are also a lot of photos of Ayden getting romantic with this blond dude, and earlier with a black guy.  

 It's a clean break, suggesting a change of boyfriends, not making a new friend.

Neither is shown sticking his tongue out, but maybe that's just a girlfriend thing.

Wait -- Ayden is not Croatian.  He was born in Northern California (straight code for San Francisco) and grew up on Coronado Island, where his father is the co-founder of Positive Choice Apparel (the clothes all have slogans like "Spread kindness.").  

Mekus is the Anglicized version of the Southern Slavic Mikuš, "Nicholas."  So maybe his ancestors came from Croatia (see my photo collection of Serbian and Croatian hunks).

Ayden got his start as a child model, dancer, youtube celebrity, and aficionado of tongues sticking out, but  his two older sisters are actors, so it was inevitable that he would start auditioning.  

His on-screen acting began in 2017 with a video game, and in 2018 with a lot of music videos and quirky shorts: 

Chocolate Chip Cookies: A  boy puts laxatives in them to prank his cranky neighbor.

To Smell the Roses: A boy steals his father's cell phone so he will "stop and smell the roses."

Utensils: Everyone at the dinner table is eating soup with a fork.

The Lilac Thief: No plot synopsis available, the film itself is stuck behind a paywall, but the cast list includes SWAT team members and "warrior youth."  So time travel?

Then came a lot of reality shows with internet celebrities: 14 episodes with Piper Rokelle, 16 with Friendzy Friday, 41 with ClaireRockSmith, 2 with Sawyer Sharbino, plus his own Ayden Mekus.

And some fictional series:

13 episodes of P.S. Positive Stories, about people making "positive change." 

One episodes of Sister Rules, about sisters who "finally decide to put family first."

73 of Dhar Mann's "uplifting" clickbait videos: 

 "Dad rejects stepson, then learns shocking truth," 

"This poor kid can't buy school lunch, the end will shock you,"

 "Kid gets humiliated playing ball, what happens next will shock you,"
