After Internet Infamy, Where Are These Viral Celebs Now?
Star Wars Kid
In 2002, classmates of 15-year old Ghyslain Raza found a video of him playing around with a golf ball retriever and re-enacting Darth Maul light saber moves from the film Star Wars. Mercilessly, they put it on the internet for all to see, and it turned out to be one of the first videos to ever go viral as well as one of the first cases of cyber-bullying.
The video went viral, and Raza received unwanted international fame. Because it was shared across the world, it is hard to know how many times the video has been viewed but it is estimated to be over a billion.
