Anthony Padilla Biography, Age

Originally born as Daniel Anthony Padilla on September 16, 1987, Padilla grew up with his parents and two brothers in Sacramento County, California, United States. Anthony’s father Dan Padilla and mother Leezah Padilla separated when he was two years old and so he was raised by his mother. He does, however, visit his father alongside his brother on weekends.

Anthony attended Del Campo High School in FairOaks and after graduation he moved to American River College in Sacramento, California, but dropped out of school two years later because he was diagnosed with Henoch- SchonleinPurpura (HSP). He then decided to keep himself busy by learning to code and from there he created a site he called Smosh through which he could connect with his friends without going there. Smosh was created in 2002. The name, according to Anthony, was taken from an incident where he confused a friend’s explanation of a mosh pit with a “smosh pit”. At the time of its creation, Smosh was a site where several flash animations were made. His childhood friend, Ian Andrew Hecox, later joined him to post several videos and, in 2005, the site became one of the most popular and visited sites. Basically, the channel grew with over 30,000 subscribers, apart from his close friends who used it.

Anthony Padilla’s popularity has skyrocketed after he posted a video of himself and his friend Ian lip-syncing to the Power Rangers song. The song was so admired that it was shared by her followers. Gradually, his Smosh video found its way to YouTube, which was then a new website. With approximately 24 million views, Anthony’s Smosh video became the most viewed video on the YouTube channel at the time. After creating their Smosh YouTube channel in 2006, Padilla and his friend started branching out. They started out by creating short YouTube skits such as That Damn Neighbor and the Food Fight,their annual video series. YouTube also offered him the chance to be part of its first wave of advertising program. He revamped the channel in 2009, adding additional videos and a games section. The following year he launched 3 different web series based on Smosh: Ian Is Bored which was later renamed Smosh Is Bored, Ask Charlie and Lunch with Smosh. From there, their major move to stardom began as they both launched more channels which not only made them more popular but also earned them a decent amount of money.
