Fred youtube

These days, you never quite know what works anymore. What is that million dollar idea? What business you should go into? I just say whatever works really.

I’m sure you would probably have stumbled across FRED on youtube since his video is always on the FrontPage.

Lucas Cruikshank is the 17 years old behind the whole FRED “Fred Figglehorn” youtube phenomenon. His videos on youtube are created around a character named Fred Figglehorn, a fictional 6-year-old who has "anger management issues" and a dysfunctional family with an alcoholic mom, a father in prison and a rabid cat named Dolly.

Lucas is the fourth of eight children in his family said he was influenced by the characters of his little brothers which he called as “crazy little kids” inspired the whole FRED character.

Lucas who is a Nebraska-raised high school junior initially starting posting videos on youtube with his cousins Katie and jon smet in a JKL Productions but later left the group to start up his individual youtube channel called FRED.

Since creating his own youtube channel he has steadily built his fanbase with over 602 million video views. He won a Teen Choice Award for Favorite Online Celebrity and appeared on hit teen television shows, iCarly and Hannah Montana.

Fred also has his movie backed by nickelodeon debut last week and has already become a hit ranking over 7.6 viewers so far.

He is also releasing an album called “who’s ready to party” which includes track like “Don’t forget to brush”.

You never know what the internet can bring these days.
