Caleb Finn is one of a cohort of wildly popular TikTok stars based in Melbourne with millions of followers – a group which includes a cosmestic surgeon, models, dancers and a fluffy Pomeranian dog. rachael_dexter reports.

Caleb Finn hopes his TikTok content might lead to writing and directing his own television show one day.

“It wasn’t intentional, but it’s how I like to present myself,” he says. “I myself feel very young. Like I’ve always been like a child at heart.” This seemingly simple video blew Finn’s account up from 350,000 to over a million followers. In one week. Unsurprisingly the app is most popular with Australians under 26. Of those surveyed by Roy Morgan who said they used TikTok, about 40 per cent were Generation Z , while 30 per cent were Generation Alpha .“I really love to just express myself through my videos. I’m very real with my audience,” he says. “Everyone has their ups and downs in life, but I just really like to express those personal moments through my stories and I feel like that’s a really relatable thing with my audience.
