Many celebrities, like Will Smith and Miley Cyrus, have joined TikTok to share highly produced videos and interact with their fans.
Avan Jogia, who is best known for starring in the Nickelodeon show Victorious alongside Victoria Justice and Ariana Grande, has taken a different path.
He participates in a lot of trends, but they’re always a bit dark, and never complicated. He has Alt TikTok vibes.
Jogia spends a lot of time talking directly into the camera and answering questions and about Victorious, which ran from 2010 to 2013. He seems to like joking around about it.
He explained one famous scene in which he dressed up like the show’s protagonist, Tori Vega.
“I’m just here to talk about what a stone-cold fox I was in this dress,” he said.
He also addressed his character’s consistent lack of storylines.
“I don’t know if you guys remember but I didn’t do anything on Victorious,” he claimed.
In his most popular post, Jogia lip-synced to the song “How Bizarre” by OMC as the text on the screen revealed an alleged on-set secret.
“When you don’t remember a SINGLE plotline to a SINGLE Victorious episode but you do remember going out partying every night,” he alleged.
Commenters were taken aback by the reveal.
“That show seems like a fever dream to me,” one wrote.
“Me too and I was there,” Jogia replied.
“So Beck was hungover all the time?” another fan asked.
“Yes,” Jogia said simply.
“Carrying a show on your back will do that to you,” a third commenter said.
He’s received quite a bit of praise for his honesty about the show and his interaction with his fans, so there’s a good chance we’ll be hearing from him for a while.
