Haha those crab hats, no idea what they are but on Yousef and Franco's myspaces a girl wearing that hat posted a picture of them with her. So I guess it was all the rage that day, perhaps something to do with Fisherman's Wharf?

Poor Jackson, he didn’t really come off in that video as being very into the YouTube culture or even the LG culture very much. It is understandable though, I don’t really think Jess is much into it either. That just makes Yousef all the better for being the regular guy that made it big, and who is still keeping it real. I’m gonna speculate that for YouTube ‘keeping it real’ will become as important as it is in the rap business.

I felt bad for Yousef there! Back in the very first days of the reveal DanielBeast myspace put up a "real life" picture of Yousef from his myspace, and he politely asked me to take it down since he wants to keep Yousef the actor and DanielBeast totally seperate entities, and obviously doesn't want to be known AS the Danielbeast. This Kimberly was being totally annoying and as he said didn't care one bit about Yousef, she wants DANIELBEAST. He even attempted to placate things by just signing it DB as to not have to deal with being so obstentiably danielbeast but she calls him on it! How annoying! Even odder is how after that they say "what about Jackson?" OK so Yousef HAS to be DanielBeast and yet you call the lesser-known Jonas by his even less common-knowledge real (stage) name of Jackson? |

I’m gonna speculate that for YouTube ‘keeping it real’ will become as important as it is in the rap business. For actors dreaming of making it in the movies or even TV, YouTube is still the minor leagues. If movies are the majors, and TV the Triple AAA minors, You Tube is still just single A baseball (lowest rung for non baseball types). In fact, of all the YT celebs, only Jess and Yousef have made it to film, and then in fairly modest roles or productions. Pretty understandabler if their allegiance to YT and even LG was wearing a bit thin, but in fact I've heard from reliable sources that the LG crew (including Jess and Jackson) still think of themselves as something of a family. |

Yousef has similarly made references to "the gang" and his fondness for them in reference to the LG crew.
Meanwhile that second video is very revealing too, because you can tell he's far less into this whole "computer" thing than Yousef is. Jackson clearly had never really used YouTube before becoming part of LG and doesn't otherwise surf it. Also, you can tell he doesn't come to the forums or reads the comments like Yousef does. Partially Yousef has been in it from the beginning so that's definitely a different sort of situation than someone who came into it midway and can see why Yousef would be even more invested and involved with the fans and such, but also I'm sure Franco just isn't really into the internet world and community.

That was awesome! I love how he was so unhollywood and just kept shutting down the interviewer. And those were pretty lame questions. If you’re going to interview someone you should really go for questions that can’t be answered by a quick glance at wikipedia.

HyeMew, untwist those panties. She is being sarcastic with him and actually flirting a little. She is purposefully making a mockery of when someone becomes stuck in a role. Brit sarcasm.

Well I don't think either Yousef nor I got it, and I know how sensitive he is about only being seen as DB. Guess that humour was too dry for us Americans to get.

He has made it as a person playing a character on Youtube, and I believe a lot of people would be happier to have an autograph from LonelyGirl15 than Jessica Rose.
They are two characters that have two forums devoted to them, false myspaces and false responses. He may be sensitive to that which I get but it is very very understandable why someone would prefer the character they have followed rather than the actor.
