He was invited to Malawi, Africa to support the Sightsavers charity.[2][3] He has collaborated with other YouTube personalities, including Joey Graceffa. In February 2015 he created a chocolate maze made entirely out of chocolate fingers with the help of a food artist and built to the model of the size in the film The Maze Runner to celebrate the film's DVD and Blu-ray release and help promote the film.[4][5] For this he was featured in The Daily Mail.[6] More recently he interviewed Bella Thorne for her role in the film The Duff. He officially came out as gay in 2015 but told viewers in his video that coming out should not be a big deal.[7] He is also known to be a fan of the boy band The Vamps (British band) which he has interviewed. He helped out in a song by The Vamps as part of an effort to raise money and awareness for the Teenage Cancer Trust.[8] He has made parodies of music videos, including Justin Bieber's Calvin Klein ad. In 2015, alongside other YouTube creators, he presented the Microsoft DoAnything advertisement.
