DREAM fans are wondering whether the YouTuber is related to another internet star after revealing his face for the first time.
The Twitch gamer unmasked himself to millions on Monday after years of hiding.
“What do I do?” he said in a video.
“Do I just rip the Band-Aid off and turn around?”
Following the big moment, fans couldn’t help noticing a resemblance to Shane Dawson.
Dawson, 34, is also a famed YouTuber – albeit with a controversial past.
“Why does Dream look like Shane Dawson,” one user asked.
“DREAM WAS SHANE DAWSON THIS WHOLE TIME,” another said.
A third added: “Nah no way Dream really look like Shane Dawson’s forgotten half brother.”
Dream also revealed in his 5-minute video that his real name is Clay.
He explained that he made the decision to show his face as gaming pal GeorgeNotFound is moving in with him.
“My goal was to just start doing things, get out, meet creators, say hi to my friends finally, just get out in the world, be an actual creator, be a person,” Dream told viewers.
“I’ve been bunkered up… the people (who) have been trying to leak my face, trying to find what I look like… there’s too many, it’s a tiny bit too much.”
Who is Dream?
Dream is one of the biggest gaming streamers around, with 30.5million subscribers on YouTube and 6.2million on Twitch.
The 23-year-old has been a big hit on both platforms since 2019 – although he officially started posting videos way back in 2014.
His Minecraft videos regularly rack up millions of views.
He’s also part of a Minecraft gaming team called the “Dream Team” alongside Sapnap and GeorgeNotFound.
Dream has previously won two awards from YouTube in recognition of his success, the Streamy Award for Gaming, in both 2020 and 2021.
The gamer lives in Orlando, Florida.
Who is Shane Dawson?
Shane Dawson is a YouTube personality who lives in Colorado.
Born Shane Lee Yaw in Long Beach, CA, in 1988, the 34-year-old has become famous for his comic characters, celeb impressions and musical spoofs as well as real life videos.
He disappeared from YouTube for a while after controversial older videos emerged.
Dawson set up his first YouTube channel ShaneDawsonTV in March 2008 and started posting comedy sketches on it.
