John C Reilly's Son Leo Is A Famous TikTok Star

Proving that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, Step Brothers star John C Reilly's son is well on his way to stardom. But instead of taking to the big screen, Leo Reilly is carving an altogether different career path for himself - as a model, singer and TikTok star.

Although he's garnered quite the following online, this week Reilly Jr really blew up on Twitter after Huffington Post writer Zeba Blay pointed him out on her page.

Alongside a two-part photo of both John C and his son, Zeba wrote: "So, the young man on the right is John C. Reilly's son."

The post has received nearly 15,000 likes, 1,000 shares and hundreds of comments since yesterday (25 February).

One excited fan wrote: "He's TikTok famous!!! this is so good," while another said: "As Dr Steve Brule would say, he's a hunk."

A third added: "Thought this was an Internet Joke but after 20 seconds of research it turns out that loveleo is indeed John C Reilly's son."

For those not in the know, LoveLeo is the name Leo uses on numerous platforms, including TikTok, where he has garnered well over 709,000 followers - many of which, by the looks of Zeba's post, were none the wiser about his A-list dad and were simply following him for his quirky content.

Leo's also a hit on Instagram, where he showcases his love for fashion and singing skills to his 114,000 followers. Releasing under his LoveLeo persona, recent indie track 'Boyfren' is his debut single.

And his musical career is no joke. Joining other viral stars of the TikTok variety, Leo's breakout hit has all the bedroom-produced charm that has launched so many other singers from the app into online stardom.

Already his hit single has well over 5.5 million views on YouTube, leading many to predict the star to be one of 2020's breakout acts.

But his talents don't end there, as the multi-faceted fella was a front-row fixture at this year's New York Fashion Week, where he hit the catwalk as a model for Moschino. All of this and he's just 22 years old.

So while his dad might be one of Hollywood's heavyweights, looks like Leo's not far behind. Who knows, maybe he could be the one to spark a certain long-awaited reunion. Will Farrell does have three sons, after all.... Step Brothers Part Deux?
