From TikTok to Hollywood, the irresistible rise of Italy’s Khaby Lame

, for consistency and accuracy

In the world of social media, Khaby Lame has become a global sensation with his trademark gesture of palms turned skywards and a knowing smile. The 24-year-old Italian influencer, of Senegalese descent, has taken the TikTok app by storm and holds the top spot with a whopping 162.8 million followers.

But Lame’s aspirations go beyond digital fame and fortune, as he sets his sights on a career in Hollywood. In an interview with AFP, Lame expressed his long-time dream of becoming a film actor and even winning an Oscar – or multiple ones, if possible. It’s a desire that he has held since childhood and is now determined to turn into reality.

Known for his short, silent videos mocking the convoluted tutorials and tips that flood the internet, Lame’s comedic talent has been compared to that of legendary actors like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. However, his unique style of poking fun at complicated tasks while offering his own simple solutions with his signature gesture of palms raised towards the sky, has captured the hearts of millions.

When asked about his meteoric rise to fame, Lame recalls realizing his international reach when he saw himself on television and even being followed by Real Madrid players. But now, he is fully dedicated to his newfound passion for cinema and hopes to make it his career for life.
