Theo Shakes is an insanely talented 23-year-old New Zealand-based actor, writer, director, and content creator who is living proof of what happens when some natural talent meets a lot of hard work.

Theo has 2 million Tik-Tok followers and over 200 million likes. But I feel like it would be unfair to just call him a Tik-Tokker because there is so much more to this guy, and this is a small part of the Theo Shakes story:

+ His recollections of moving from the UK to NZ at 4

+His creative process with writing, filming and releasing a new Tik-Tok every 2 days

+Making a movie with Elijah Wood

+Getting love from Will Smith on Tik-Tok,

+How he makes money on Tik-Tok and much more.

At the time of releasing this, Theo is about to do his debut comedy show in Auckland called "Judging by the Look of Things."
