Career Ups and Downs

Born in 1999, 20 minutes apart, the Dolan Twins are identical twins. They have an older sister, Cameron. Out of the two, Ethan is the older brother. Ever since as kids they were active and outgoing.

As kids, they loved sports. Ethan and Grayson played football, lacrosse, and wrestling. Their dad encouraged them to try sports. They even made it to captains of their wrestling teams.

When they were little, they showed interest in filming videos as well. They loved television and filmed a fictional show, Bob and Rob. Their sister helped with her editing skills.

Cameron also introduced them to Vine. They loved the app with only six-second videos. So, soon enough, they started making funny videos and fell in love with the application.

At the same time, they tried improving their sports career. But they got rejected from a prestigious sports middle school. Luckily, they had one million followers on Vine, so they continued making videos.

During their high school years, the Dolan Twins got bulled. Other kids hated them for their online following. But social media was their happy place. Ethan and Grayson begged their parents to quit public school. They wanted to pursue online school and focus on video-making.

At this point, they started a weekly video show on YouTube, Dolan Twins Tuesday. Vine shut down eventually, so the twins moved to YouTube. They wanted to utilize their 6.4 million followers on the platform.

Their channel hit off when they were just 15 years old. So, they moved to Los Angeles pursuing bigger dreams. And at just 16 years old, they went on a tour to meet their fans in person. The Dolan Twins traveled through to 42 cities all over the country.

On March 27, 2018, they went on a hiatus from YouTube. They wanted to re-evaluate themselves creatively. For a moment, they wanted a life outside the platform. Just one month later, they returned to YouTube on May 1.

In the summer of 2018, they announced a new project, the Sisters Squad with James Charles and Emma Chamberlain. They uploaded videos simultaneously and got featured prominently in each other’s videos.

At the time, their father got diagnosed with cancer and passed away in 2019. Following his death, they posted an emotional video. After the tour, Ethan and Grayson returned to Los Angeles and created the Dolan Twins Warehouse. This is the place they film their videos with extreme stunts.

Their videos consisted of extreme challenges. For example, they made a video of living in nature. But they also love making pranks on each other. And often they go to extreme lengths for pranks.

Their funny and silly dynamic on-screen is contagious. That is what captured the hearts of their many fans and followers.

On October 8, 2019, they uploaded a new video It’s Time to Move On. The stress of their father’s death got to them. They wanted to change the content of the channel to a more flexible schedule.

In the video, they said they will change their style to more serious topics. They wanted to grow off the silly teens making funny videos and evolve professionally.

Besides videos, the Dolan Twins pursue careers in other ventures. For example, they showed their interest in directing and starring in music videos.

And to top it all, they released a set of two fragrances, one for each twin. In February 2020, they launched a weekly podcast, Deeper with the Dolan Twins. Cadence13 produces it.
