Ryan: Howdy! Today I'm asking celebrities if they remember me.

The only catch is: the photos are fake.

Except for this one. This one's real.

I'm just kidding. You should have seen the look on your face.

Hold on! That didn't...

That did not fool me.

I spent $15 on that anime wig.

I hope you liked it. So I'm in a new place for a bit.

I actually built my dad a house, which was my biggest dream ever, and it came true.

And I know YouTubers say this all the time, but... <i>(Sings:)</i> "Possible without you, it wouldn't be possible without you.

My dad has got a really cool kitchen now.

It wouldn't be possible without..." you, guys.

I am so excited to mess with famous people.

So we're gonna start off slow with champagnepapi, aka Drake.

Looks like I DM'd him over 2 years ago and did not get a response, so maybe things will change. Looks like I'm looking at him with some, uh, murderous intent.

I promise I'm not. I'm not even there.

That's the crazy thing.

This photo is not real.

Looks pretty legit to me.

I'm gonna be like: "My guy.

You remember me?" Next: we're gonna DM Obama.

Barack. Oh, yep.

Looks like we DM'd him 2 years ago and did not get a response also.

So this is the photo I'm sending him now.

Looks pretty legit.

Am I allowed to do this?

I actually put my face over Joe Biden.

I'm not sure if that's even legal.

Ryan: Uh... Man: FBI! Open up!

Ryan: But hey, I think the photo is cool.

Might send it to my friends, tell them that this...that it's real.

Hey, Mr. Why don't...why don't...

What if I just call him Mister?

Is that...is that wrong? Is that disrespectful?

I feel the need to send a winky face after that.

I don't know...I don't know what's getting into me right now.

Oh, that's so cringe.

President of the United States, we're talking about here.

Thanks for the attention! I have...

I don't know what else to say.

I'm just...I can't believe I just...

Hey, Mr.! I hate that, I hate that. Okay.

Taylor Swift has 166 million Instagram followers.

That seems too powerful.

Okay. Yeah, I guess this is gonna be a trend.

Most celebrities, I have probably deemed them.

Most of them probably not respond.

Let's just get this one out of the way!

This is by far probably the worst Photoshop job we've got.

For some reason, I can't quite explain nor rationalize.

I feel like Taylor Swift is low key, like Mother Nature. Dude, like...like this picture right here.

Like, I feel like she can grow trees using her mind.

I mean, have we asked her if she...if she can or not?

But that's not my business at all.

Coolest night ever. Do you remember me?

That's the most desperate I've ever sounded.

Zac Efron. So this is actually a real photo.

Um, I do know Zac.

I mean, this was, like, the best day of my life.

And he was the best man at my wedding, and...I lied.

It's another fake photo. You should have seen the look on your face.

Fortunately, I don't think he's gonna respond, because this just feels psychotic.

Perhaps crazy.

Sending this to Mr.

Beast. That, unfortunately, is a real photo of me as a child.

Bro! How did I not know we went to school together?

Today I'm going to be lying for 24 hours straight.

Okay, so the only real photo, only real celebrity I've ever met actually happened recently. And it was John Cena.

Craziest day of my life and it's 100% real, I promise.

I even got a video. It was so cool.

We like...we like chest bumped.

He even like, put me on his shoulders, spun me around a little bit, like his special move and stuff. Next up we got Miley Cyrus or Hannah Montana.

You know. Call her what you want, but you can't call her broke. Can you?

Can't do it. Something about this just looks extremely unsettling.

Not sure if it's the sheer size of my skull, or perhaps the atrocious surfboard themed jar. Either way, I don't feel good about this.

You know what? I'm not even gonna...

Not even gonna send a caption.

Not even gonna send a caption to Miley Cyrus.

Yeah, honestly hope she doesn't see this.

This one's going out to Ryan Reynolds, aka Deadpool.

You know, great guy, cool guy.

This one looks pretty...pretty real. I mean... Unreal night, Ryan gang or die.

Sending this over to Hugh Jackman.

Hugh Jackman, aka Wolverine.

Sending this to him.

This looks legit.

This is a real photo.

I'm convinced. And I know it's not real.

I am a walking logical fallacy.

I don't even know what that means.

Okay. Unreal night, Ryan gang or die.

Let's just send the same message!

Same message again.

Doesn't make any sense.

I also decided to make this photo, which, um...

Makes me very uncomfortable.

Chris Pratt. I mean, we'll send it over to him.

We'll just...Is that a threat?

Is it a promise? We'll see.

100

Ariana Grande. Yeah.

101

Uh, definitely not ever gonna get a response from her ever again.

102

Not that I ever did.

103

I never got one in the first place, but...249 million followers.

104

Okay. Here's the photo I'm sending.

105

I did Photoshop myself onto an 80, possibly 90 year old man that is Bernie Sanders.

106

So the odds of her being like: "Did I meet this guy?

107

Where did I meet?

108

I did...I did meet that guy, but he was like, really old." So 2 years ago, I told her "I saw you", uh...

109

I'm sorry about that! But now I really have no choice but to commit.

110

So I'm just gonna say I told you so.

111

If you thought this couldn't get any more uncomfortable, I'm actually sending this to Bernie next. Bernie.

112

More like Bernie.

113

Curney. Learney. Verney.

114

Surnie. Mernie.

115

Nerney. Herney.

116

Mornay. Pherney.

117

Murney. Durney.

118

Kearney. 2 years ago, I asked Tom Holland if he thinks we look alike, and didn't get a response. But he did end up becoming Spider-Man, so maybe he had already been Spider-Man at that point. Regardless, he's winning in life.

119

Which is why I was so excited when I met him at freaking Lowe's or whatever.

120

Such an honor meeting you, my man.

121

Tell Zendaya hi for me!

122

Oh! Shoot! Dang! I haven't left the house today.

123

Possibly 2 days, actually.

124

Zendaya. So now I'm gonna send Zendaya this photo.

125

I'm gonna be like, uh: "Such a blast, call me!" Oh, no!

126

Oh, no! I sent that to Tom Holland.

127

Do I unsend it?

128

Next up: we got Logan Paul. Sending him this photo.

129

Wait, I mean, it looks great.

130

I think...I think I actually did a good job on this.

131

You know. Don't think I forgot about this, bro!

132

I want next. Huh!

133

Next up: we got Ellen. I've also had people tell me I look like Neil Patrick Harris.

134

So I thought, what...what would happen if I just didn't even Photoshop my face on?

135

Would I have a better chance of getting a reply, if they thought I was a person that they actually met but forgot their name?

136

OMG, Ellen! Congrats on the comeback!

137

You gotta have me on soon.

138

Wait! Wait! Did her show get canceled?

139

Oh, my gosh! It got canceled.

140

Oh! That's...that's a...Will Smith.

141

Everybody loves him.

142

Everybody hates him.

143

That's not true.

144

Hahaaa! They got us, bro.

145

The paparazzi always on my back, too. Love you, man.

146

Always taking pictures of me.

147

Imagine a guy like always walks behind celebrities, just so he can be like paparazzi.

148

You know. Paparazzi is always following me around.

149

Like...like always.

150

Just photos, like photo op.

151

Like, I literally wasn't even ready for it.

152

Like, I got my...I got my bad blazer on, you know?

153

So...Next: we got Bella Poarch.

154

Um, not the best fake photo.

155

Uh, you know, kind of hard to work with bad lighting. <i>(Sings:)</i> "This ain't build the dude.

156

You don't get to pick and choose." Shout out to this guy. Love that guy. Cole Sprouse.

157

So nice meeting you.

158

Wait, I have an idea. I have an idea.

159

I'm gonna reach out to Dylan Sprouse.

160

Okay. I'm sending Dylan Sprouse a photo of his legitimate twin brother.

161

While it is risky, I think it might just pose the...the recognition that we need.

162

People say I look like your brother.

163

Okay, that doesn't even make any sense.

164

You know, Shawn Mendes was big on Vine first, right?

165

He was a Magcon Boy.

166

Mwah! Good old days, bro.

167

Miss you. Why do I feel like he could actually believe that I was there?

168

I doubt he's close with any...anyone in this photo anymore.

169

Threw myself right there in the back.

170

Yeah, I'm looking good right there.

171

I'm looking real good. Sending this to Kylie Jenner, uh..."The two most famous people of 2021. And why Ryan is hotter..." Bruh!

172

These people doing the most for clicks nowadays.

173

This is...this is pretty funny.

174

Um, let's move on!

175

Brad Pitt doesn't have an Instagram account, but I'm just gonna send this to a fan page.

176

Because I spent time making it, and I think my hat looks cool, so...Just found this photo online. Can't believe I drove right by you.

177

If the fan page responds, it's gonna be pretty cool, I guess.

178

Uh, LeBron James.

179

Why does this look so real?

180

I...what am I gonna say?

181

Um...Good luck in the finals, LeBron!

182

Oh, wait! You got eliminated cause I wasn't on the court.

183

Did he get eliminated? What team is he on?

184

I need to go to a bar.

185

I don't know what's happening in the sports world right now.

186

A lot of people also tell me I look like Gordon Ramsay.

187

Or at least his son.

188

As you can see, 2 years ago, I did ask him: "Are you my dad?".

189

No response.

190

Uh...You are my biological father.

191

Please. I don't know. I don't know why I just got desperate, actually.

192

Next up, we got Jimmy Fallon.

193

Uh...funny guy.

194

Just realized that I actually replaced his face on accident.

195

That's not...that's not good.

196

I'm not sure how he's gonna respond to this.

197

Uh...I'm gonna hit him with a good old "Nice meeting you, man".

198

Mhm! Jumbo. Always said Jumbo.

199

Next up: we got the Jonas Brothers.

200

Uh, this is what we're working with.

201

Brothers. I don't know why this photo looks so squished, but maybe that'll help my case.

202

He's not gonna respond to that.

203

That doesn't...there's no information there.

204

There's no information to even address.

205

So I have this photo of Neil Patrick Harris, which again, people...who said...I don't even know who said that. Maybe I said that to myself, that I look like him.

206

I don't know who this girl is, but I'm just gonna send it to Clairo.

207

I can't think of anyone else who looks similar. She responded last time I DM'd celebrities. Nice meeting you.

208

Is that offensive? I don't know.

209

Olivia Rodrigo.

210

Uh...pretty sure I photoshopped my face onto the guy that...all these songs are about that she makes. Which, now that I'm thinking of, like, filming videos like this has felt increasingly more freaky.

211

Like, uh, I'm a freak like that.

212

I just, I don't know, sending pictures like this to a real person, uh...makes me feel like I'm an absolute weirdo.

213

Which, you know, I'm gonna unsend this.

214

I just...I don't want to do that.

215

I'm sending this to Robert Downey Jr.

216

Good old days.

217

"Do the thing with your pecs!" I can't believe you sometimes, man.

218

Miss, you. Sent this to Ed Sheeran.

219

Sending this to Machine Gun Kelly, who is dating Megan Fox.

220

Yo, Megan, it's been a minute.

221

Oh, shoot! Wrong person.

222

Literally. Same message. I said: "Oh, shoot! Wrong person". Thought I got a reply, but it's, uh...

223

It's just my phone, remind me to drink water. Next time you see me, hopefully we got a bunch a load of celebrity responses.

224

Hey, guys! So we did get a couple celebrity responses.

225

Um, Logan Paul said: "Hahahaha", and Mr.

226

Beast just liked my message. And we all know what that means.

227

That means he probably believed it, right?

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
