Who is Dylan Macdonald?
American YouTuber and social media star Dylan Macdonald, was born in Los Angeles, California USA, on 28 October 1992, so Scorpio’s his zodiac sign. He launched his self-titled YouTube channel on 2 January 2007, but today there are only a few over 500 people subscribed to it; all of Dylan’s videos combined have been watched over a million times, and most of these are scenes taken from popular TV series, while others are related to music.
Dylan’s also known for being the son of the late Canadian stand-up comedian and actor Norman Gene ‘Norm’ Macdonald.
Education and early life
Dylan was raised an only child in Los Angeles, by his father and his mother Connie Macdonald who was a marriage and family therapist, but Norm and Connie divorced in 1999, when Dylan was only six years old, remaining equally involved in his upbringing. Norm died from cancer on 14 September 2021.
Dylan was interested in a couple of activities during his teenage years, especially in sports; he was on his school’s baseball team, and also enjoyed playing basketball and soccer. He initially wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and become an actor, however, after having appeared in several school plays, he recognised that he wasn’t talented enough.
Dylan matriculated in 2011, and then enrolled at college, from which he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in 2015.

Dylan’s YouTube channel differs from other popular YouTubers, as he doesn’t feature himself in any of his videos, but rather enjoys sharing some of his favorite scenes, both funny and serious, from some of his favorite movies and TV series. Dylan’s also passionate about music, and has uploaded a number of videos which feature American rock ‘n’ roll guitarist Ace Frehley teaching people to play the guitar.

Love life and girlfriend
Dylan hasn’t spoken about any girls whom he’s perhaps dated, but has recently uploaded a video onto his TikTok account which features him hugging a non-celebrity American girl. It’s believed that he and the girl have recently begun dating, and that they met on the internet; the girl seems to be only a little younger than Dylan, but he hasn’t addressed the rumors of them dating.
Some of his fans believe that he’s gay, mostly because he avoids speaking about his love life in public; some have also claimed to have seen Dylan and his boyfriend spending time together, but none of this has been confirmed by Dylan.
He seems to be unattached as of February 2023, hasn’t married and doesn’t have children.
