What do you know about him outside TikTok?Do you know about his early life and that he’s not Keanu Reeves’s son, as he claims? Let’s find out more about this TikTok star.
Who Is Dustin Tyler? (Early Life, Childhood)
Dustin Tyler is a United States TikTok star born on October 13, 1985, to a middle-class family in Mankato, Minnesota. He was raised by one of his birth parents and a stepfather, not Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, as he claims. After marrying his stepfather at a young age, Dustin’s mum moved to Oregon, where the TikTok star grew up. In recent interviews, he acknowledged that even though his family tried giving him a normal life, he was friends with the wrong groups and therefore had a different personality. He grew up a defiant child who would occasionally skip school and hang out with the wrong crowds day in and day out. He even mentioned that most of his childhood friends have been in and out of jail, with some even dying of drug overdose, revelations that are definitely painful.
However, during his second year of high school, Dustin found an awakening and decided to make a turnaround. He registered for evening classes and eventually passed his General Education Development Test, known as GED.
Dustyn Tyler’s Career
Dustin Tyler started working immediately after high school. With his GED, he held various jobs, including as an attendant at Spencer’s gift shop. He later attended Phagans Grants Pass College of Beauty and became a barber at Great Clips, a job he did for some time. It’s also evident that Tyler loves tattoos going by the unique one on his arms. Well, he is a tattoo artist, which can be partly attributed to his huge Instagram success.
Dustin also once joked that he had a Television career in one of his Instagram videos, which caused quite a stir. He claimed he was a former child actor on a TV show. Is Dustin an actor, and did he appear in a former TV show? Well, IMDB lists Dustyn Tyler as an actor, mentioning him to be part of the cast in Demon’s Waltz, a 2021 film, and an upcoming film is known as Stay Out of The Basement.
The Demon’s Waltz, a film regarding a private investigator who intends to find out what started a TikTok challenge that killed several people, was inspired by Ryan Callaway’s disdain for TikTok. Even though it would make sense for the director to choose a TikTok star like Dustin Tyler to be part of the movie, there are different features between the real-life Dustin and the one in the movie, who goes by Kyle. We can’t tell whether he is the one or not.
