An old photo of Darren Jason Watkins Jr., better known online as iShowSpeed, went viral on social media, leaving the streamer’s fans stunned.
The picture, which dates back to when the streamer was in third grade, appeared on his Discord server on March 1st. “How the hell did you find my third-grade picture, when I was eight years old?” Speed said.
The photo showed a young, chubby boy resembling the star, wearing a green Minecraft hoodie. Below, his real name and some of his interests were written: “YouTube Society, Minecraft Club, and Track.”
“Only my close family has this. The fact that you guys have it is crazy, man! Like, the only person who has this is my mom, so I know who leaked this in my family,” he said.
The photo quickly made its way to X (formerly Twitter), where it has already accumulated over 22 million views. “No way this is Speed, man,” said one user. “This has to be fake,” commented another. “We all know this isn’t him,” stated a third.
