Making moves! Jake Paulburst onto the entertainment scene in 2014 as a YouTube star and has managed to keep fans intrigued by his career evolution ever since.
After rising to fame for his pranks and funny videos on both Vine and YouTube, Paul landed a starring role on Disney Channel’s Bizaardvark in 2016. He appeared on the series for two seasons, as Dirk Mann, before parting ways with the network in 2017.
The actor launched his entertainment collaborative, Team 10, that same year. He released his first song with the label, “It’s Everyday Bro,” in May 2017 — and has since recorded one EP and multiple singles.
Paul rebranded himself as a professional boxer in December 2019, taking on British YouTuber AnEsonGib in the ring the following month. He has since won four fights by knockouts and one by decision.

The athlete has made headlines more than once for his controversial actions over the years, including an incident in May 2020 when he was accused of looting an Arizona mall. At the time, he claimed via an Instagram Story statement that he was “not engaged in any looting of vandalism.”
Outside of his social media success and becoming a boxer, how much do Paul’s fans really know about him? The Ohio native opened up to Us Weekly exclusively about himself — including who his celebrity crush is and which animal he relates to most.
