Khaby Lame, the social media sensation known for his "duh moment" wordless videos, is taking his other pastime - gaming - to a new level. The most-followed creator on TikTok has now been featured as a character on one of the most popular games of the moment - Fortnite.
With over 160 million followers, it's no surprise that Lame's influence would eventually extend beyond the app that made him a star. He recently revealed he is part of the "icon series" in the fourth chapter of the game, titled "Last Resort". Players will now be able to become Lame's "skin" while they break into vaults during the heist element of the game.
When asked by Variety what this new venture meant to him and his rise in the entertainment industry, Lame said he was thrilled. "I've been a big Fortnite fan for a long time. I started playing five years ago and sometimes I posted videos on YouTube or tagged Fortnite in stories. I was thrilled about this game," he said.
Lame also took to TikTok to share an advertisement for the game, showing an animated version of himself. Upon launch day, Lame said he felt "blessed" and spent 15 minutes just staring at his character. He also proudly noted he had full input on the details of his character's look and role in the game.
For Lame, this was more than just a career success. It was fulfilling a universal dream of being an action hero. He joined in on the launch day fun and said it was a surreal experience.
This is just another great milestone in Khaby Lame's career. His success on social media has earned him over 10 million dollars, in part due to his classic TV show references. Now, his fans can take on his persona in Fortnite, as well. It's no wonder why his influence continues to grow.
