'I'm creating 24 hours of the day' - wacky Vine star Christian Delgrosso's journey to fame and 'seven figure' earnings
Delgrosso has built his fame as a part of a group of social media stars that includes Logan Paul, King Bach and Cameron Dallas, with whom he starred in the Netflix documentary series "Chasing Cameron."
He is known among his 22 million social media followers for his exaggerated facial expressions and wacky comedy.
Delgrosso is currently filming a series for the upcoming streaming platform Blackpills. The mobile-specific entertainment platform was created out of a partnership between the French director and producer Luc Besson, entrepreneur Xavier Niel, and Daniel Marhely, the founder of music streaming service Deezer. A Blackpills representative said the platform would be launching around March.
The mobile streaming service has kept a low profile but it looks like it will soon set its targets on the United States as one of its main markets. It acquired a series that premiered at the American film festival Sundance and signed up Zoe Cassavettes, director and daughter of actor John Cassavettes, to direct a series. In October it released one of its first shows about US President Donald Trump, You Got Trumped, on YouTube and Facebook. Logan Paul, who often appears in social media videos with Delgrosso, is also working on a series for Blackpills.
Business Insider caught up with Delgrosso over the phone as he was on the set of a show he is currently shooting for the platform. His character in the show has to live with his mom who comes back from the dead and discovers modern society.
