Jake wrote: ‘I just wanna to thank every person who has ever been a part of this journey… think about this… 20 million people could fill 500 football stadiums… sometimes we forget how connected we are in this day in age, and everything starts to become numbers, likes and statistics…

Jake began his career in September 2013 by posting videos on Vine.

By the time Vine was over, he had amassed 5.3 million followers and two billion views on the app.

And it was all uphill from there.

The coronavirus pandemic hadn’t stopped the influencer from filming videos for his 500 football stadium’s worth of fans.

The YouTube star recently took to Instagram to share what he’s been up to, revealing he’s been staying at home.

‘Day one of quarantine, guys, we have nothing to do so I’ve been filming and we have a new video coming for you on Thursday,’ he said.

He went on to share a clip of himself and his rumoured girlfriend, Julia Rose, learning to salsa.

Los Angeles is on lockdown until at least 15 May.
