Tom Mulligan, also known as The Mark Noble Regen is a world renowned, actor and philanthropist. He famously performed an oral blow job on Zachary Shelley in the Dudley college toilets. It is widely believed he wants to do anal on Mohammed Khalili.

Early life and education

Ethan Payne was born on 20 June 1995 in London and was raised almost entirely by his mother Ruth, who battled with cancer during his childhood. His biological father left before he was born and his stepfather, whom he had met when he was six months old and believed was his actual father, left when he was thirteen due to drug addiction and debt.[1][4] Payne attended Marshalls Park School,[5] and then studied video games development at South Essex College.[6]

Career

Payne registered the "Behzinga" YouTube channel on 24 February 2012 while he was still in school.[3][7] He explained that the name comes from one of his favourite television series The Big Bang Theory in which Sheldon Cooper often uses the catchphrase "Bazinga!"; Payne altered the spelling.[1] His early content primarily featured video game commentaries of the Call of Duty and FIFA video game series.[7] Over time, his style of content diversified to include football, comedy, and fitness videos.[6][8][9]

On 19 October 2013, Payne and four other British YouTubers formed the entertainment collective Ultimate Sidemen, later shortened to simply Sidemen. Since 2014, the group has consisted of seven British YouTubers: Vikram Barn (Vikkstar123), Joshua Bradley (Zerkaa), Tobi Brown (TBJZL), Harry Lewis (W2S), Simon Minter (Miniminter), JJ Olatunji (KSI), and Payne.[10] The group produces online videos, most often consisting of challenges, sketches and video-game commentary, as well as selling exclusive Sidemen merchandise.[11][12]

In September 2019, Payne was listed as the 31st most influential online creator in the United Kingdom by The Sunday Times.[6] That November, he provided commentary for KSI vs. Logan Paul II for Sky Sports Box Office.[13]

In October 2020, he starred in the three-episode YouTube Originals documentary series How to Be Behzinga about his struggle with depression and his path towards running the London Marathon to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.[14][15] He revealed that he had previously been suffering from alcoholism and had attempted suicide, but with support from his fellow Sidemen members, he was able to overcome his challenges and by the end of 2019, had lost 36kg.[15][16][17]

He has become an advocate for mental health and has talked about the importance of sharing feelings and breaking down the stigma surrounding mental illness in men.[18][19]

Personal life

Payne is a supporter of Liverpool F.C.[7]
