Who is Daddy Long Neck?
American YouTuber and social media star David Samuelson Jr. – aka Daddy Long Neck – was born under the zodiac sign Virgo on 15 September 1999, in Flint, Michigan USA. He’s perhaps only known for his presence on the internet, including his YouTube channel “Daddy Long Neck”, which he launched on 25 April 2011 and which is today subscribed to by close to 850 people. Daddy’s posted 48 videos, and all of these together number close to 250,000 views, with most featuring him during his everyday life, whether he’s grocery shopping, taking on internet challenges or pranking his friends.
Daddy’s suffering from the genetic disorder Marfan syndrome, which makes his limbs long and skinny; he was unable to gain weight while growing up, and had to be fed by doctors through a tube for five years.
Education and early life
Daddy and his brother were raised in Flint by their father David Samuel Sr. and mother Krissy, about whom not many details have been shared because Daddy respects their privacy; it’s still known that they’re divorced, and today both have new partners. Daddy lived with his mother and her boyfriend following his parents’ split, but still remained close to his father who moved in nearby with his girlfriend.
Daddy studied at a local high school in Flint and was bullied during his time there; he’s recently stated that he’s still today bullied on the internet but that this no longer affects him. He was into a couple of activities during his teenage years as he appeared in several school plays, and learned to play the guitar.
Daddy matriculated in 2018 and as he’s yet to talk about whether or not he’s attended college, most of his fans believe that he hasn’t.
