Khaby Lame is on top of the world. He's the most followed TikTok creator on the planet, travels the globe to film videos with celebs like Idris Elba and Ed Sheeran, and collaborates with brands like McDonald's. That's how we get to talking on a Thursday morning (for me, in New York City) and evening (for him, in Milan) — he's one of four global idols tapped for McDonald’s FIFA World Cup 2022 campaign.
It makes sense. Lame is not just one of the top creators in the world, he's also a huge soccer fan and plans to attend World Cup games in support of his native Senegal (he is both a Senegalese and Italian citizen, but Italy didn't make the cut for the Cup). Sitting jovially in a white Nike hoodie, Lame looks like he might be off to shoot a few goals any minute.
SEE ALSO:Khaby Lame unseats Charli D'Amelio as the most-followed account on TikTokBehind him are framed black-and-white photos of Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and Cary Grant and Grace Kelly — all icons who communicated as much in words as in physical expression. Lame is looking to make a jump to acting in movies by doing something similar. He is a man of few words. In fact he's built a TikTok audience of more than 140 million people without saying a single one. So if he doesn't plan to speak, how does he plan to act?
Lame's got it all figured out: "Mr. Bean doesn't speak," he says, "or Charlie Chaplin."
Read what else he has to say about his idols, McDonald's, and being a role model below.
I'm working but mostly chilling. It's an easy day, but only today. Every other day is so busy. I've been dubbing a character in Black Pantherin Italian and making content around the film. I'll show you one now. [Holds phone up, plays a TikTok video of him transforming into Black Panther]. There's a creative agency we work with that helps me develop these types of videos and effects.
I just remember when I was a little boy on our way from Turin to Chivasso, before taking the highway, my brothers and I knew there was a Mac there, and I remember us praying and hoping we would turn left and stop at Macs. Most of the time, we didn't stop.
[Begins to laugh] Another time, there was a long line of cars at a McDonald's drive-thru and we took a shopping cart through it, trying to bypass all the people who were waiting. People were angry, but we were served. I worked as a waiter [before blowing up on TikTok] and actually sent an application for a job at McDonald's when I was younger. I thought it'd be nice to work for them.
[Imitates a flying plane]. I'm always traveling, and I love it. My family is very happy for me. Every now and then I take my brother traveling.
[Thinks, counting on his fingers] Twenty-four! It's hard for me to remember because I have a lot of brothers. Three little brothers, and one big brother. Don't ask me their ages, please!
I generally feel at ease. I'll say that I was a bit excited, a bit nervous, when first meeting Usain Bolt and Snoop Dogg. Most of all Bolt, probably because as a little boy my dream was to become an athlete and be better than him. I ran the 100 meters and the marathon, and then I had to stop training because I had to work and help my family.
I think so. I think that my hope is to influence not only people of color but everybody.
Becoming an actor has always been my dream. Ever since I was a little boy, my hero was Will Smith in Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Right now I'm studying acting with a coach and learning English. My dream is to become an actor and make people laugh.
I only look at them as actors. As talents. It happens, making mistakes in life. I just consider them to be my idols, great actors, incredible people. And this is what I would like to become. Everybody can make mistakes in life. Everybody should be forgiven for making mistakes.
To create my content, I watch movies, listen to music, watch Japanese anime. Everything can be a source of inspiration to me. And no, I don't listen to K-pop. But I'm convinced, I'll listen to Itzy's whole album.
No! I have some projects, but I can't give any hints. And as for my dream project, I'm interested in both! Just keep following me.
