Tanner Zagarino. They use to both be models for smltd
Thought a more thought out post was in order...
You guys I feel so bad for him. He was disillusioned about life by the notoriety he acquired via Tumblr and the affluence of his parents. He really thought he was something else like a model, influencers prodigy but now he's having issues coping with being an adult. He battles feelings of disappointment from not being successful and he resents his peers who are more on their way to productive lifestyles than himself. Further, he teeters between recognizing social media's negative impacts on his mental well being and clinging to the shreds he has left of his Tumblr image. This makes it so that it is unclear if he will ever mature and leave behind childish things. On his current path, he would make a prime candidate for some far off season of the Bachelor.
Yes, I would plow his ass into tomorrow, but Sean is somebody I pity more than lust over.

I could not disagree more.
He has a bigger following than ever. He was never trying to model for brands, he was always into the photography side of that. I think he is closer with his family as ever and he even moved back from LA to NY to be closer to them, especially his little siblings. He bought/invested into a company together with his mother and aside of that he has his own company and several side jobs and brand deals so from a business side there is nothing to pity either.
He had close friends there. He has a girlfriend. He owns his own house. He has his dream car. He is financially and physically healthy. I do not think there is a single thing about him to feel bad about? He claims he struggles with mental health, but we cannot really judge the severity of that based on some social media posts. We simply don't know him to really know. If he does have those problems, I know he has his circle of friends and family to support him and I know he will have/get the right help he needs. He is smart and open enough to reach out, now.
The fact that he is transitioning from this 'upcoming social media influencer' persona to being less popular and active only doesn't mean he is failing. In contrary I think that he is stepping up massively. I applaud him for not solely depending on his social media fame but also persuing other businesses that will bring him more on the long term instead of shortterm fame and money.
EDIT:
I wanna add, I agree with the above post partly. Can't stand the complaining and the constant promotion of products. He should stop trying so hard to be relatable to his followers because he simply isn't. he is really out of touch, a bit spoiled and indeed very privileged.

I'm not sure you totally get it. Do you really think he moved from LA to NY so he could be closer to his siblings? You must be talking about the ones his age as the younger ones are still far away. He first moved to LA because he was a recent high school graduate with no intention of going to college and every intention of taking his relatively small fame to the next level. That didn't work out, but he sure spent a lot of money (hopefully his own but prob also his parents) so he moved back to the east coast to find a new direction. At the time, he posted a video to YouTube about his move back, showing off his new apartment in either philly or nyc, expressing a little regret about LA, and editing the film with chillwave, gopro-type music and effects. Unfortunately, Sean believes what's in his pictures and videos more than his followers believe it. He is able to distract himself from realities by acknowledging them passingly, then presenting them with a social media filter.
Again, he talked about his disappointment with how LA worked for him and even mentioned something along the lines of how his peers were graduating college and he had not much to show. Sean has real issues but is able to distract himself because he comes from a wealthy family. It may never be different.
Believe me, I can go on ... but if you don't know much about his past 10 years or you are fooled by social media then I'd rather discuss with somebody else.
Queue some random lame-o who replies, "You're just jealous of Sean, blah blah blah."
Nailed it. His shirtless photos have returned although he acknowledged he wants to be more real on instagram. He said he wants to stop worrying about likes and now he's back at it.
Nailed it again.
Sean doesn't have enough money to buy a house. Not a nice one in a nice community. Not without the help of his parents.
Yes, Sean's mom bought the store and Sean may hold some stakes. Did they sell the ice cream place? He stopped posting about it. He would post insta stories on the ferry ride over, but c'mon, scooping ice cream is all he was doing. I think he bailed, telling his mom he wanted to focus on other things. My theory is she bought it and tried to interest him in owning and running it. But he's incapable so they probably hired a manager.
Careful what you wish for!
You still don't get it huh? He does not have a house. Having a car and watch are not indicative of wealth. His parents have money and Sean may have a little but it's not sustainable income or anything. He's tried to sell his old clothes before. That's more evidence he doesn't have a lot of money.
If he had money he would travel and post interesting things, but he doesnt. His parents won't fund that lifestyle for him so he must focus on his promotions and gaining income that way.
If you want muscle go see AAG, Sean is not your guy.
I think you’re both sort of right? I think his family is well off and while he’s dramatic about his finances sometimes, I don’t think his parents would ever let him be in serious trouble financially. He’s not going to be homeless anytime soon.
I go back and forth feeling bad for him. On the one hand, LA and acting/modeling didn’t work out. He knows he doesn’t really have a very charismatic personality (he’s said this) so he gets ok views on his YouTube videos but he’s never going to be big on there or in acting. But he is super photogenic and good looking so instagram is sort of his niche. He posts about how tired and overworked he is but then goes skiing or plans a trip to LA just cuz it’s cold, so then my sympathy wains.
Overall, he might be a little privileged and spoiled but he seems like a relatively nice guy in the end. He’s not Dylan Geick or some annoyingly full of himself Youtuber, which is why I still follow him (also the shirtless pics lol)
No his parents wealth is a blessing and curse. He is blessed to never have to truly struggle and cursed to never be able to truly struggle. He will not grow under their wings.
His whining is an attempt to be relatable and garner likes as he comes from the Tumblr age when saying "same" or "this is me" became popular. A ski trip or a trip to LA is not special but he makes them out to be these prime events only an influencer, jetsetter can have. That's where I pity him partly. He fools himself into believing he is not just an ordinary boy. He falls victim to his own instagram filters which keeps him from truly entering a mindset where he can mature and grow up.
I doubt he is a mean boy. But I dont think he puts out enough good in the world to deserve being on Santa's nice list. He's just kind of there ... hope you saw what we said about his shirtless pics in this conversation and how they uphold the main reason to pity him which is the last sentence in the second to last paragraph.
I was saying you both have valid points and you said... no and I don’t lol. It doesn’t matter. That’s just my opinion of Sean. I enjoy the shirtless pics, no matter the motive. I definitely don’t pity them, personally — plus he’s back to working out and is happy to show off his progress so I’m fine with it (but I see your point).
Sorry. I meant no in agreeance with what you said about his parents and how they wouldn't let him struggle financially. Cheers
