  • Bretman Rock is a Filipino-American social media and internet sensation born in the Philippines, but raised on the island of Oʻahu. This charismatic Leo is known for his makeup tutorials and humorous views on life, but is proving now that he is more than a beauty influencer showcasing his diverse skillset each and every day. He is the star of his very own reality TV show on MTV called MTV's Following: Bretman Rock, and in October 2021 was the first openly gay man to appear on the cover of Playboy. He has received multiple awards and honors for his work on social media including a peopleʻs choice award for “Beauty Influencer” and an award for “Breakthrough Social Star” at the 2021 MTV movie and TV awards. With over 18 million followers on Instagram, it's safe to say that Bretman is one of the biggest social media stars in the world. In this episode we talk about how he ended up in Hawai'i, growing up and going to school on the west side of O'ahu, how he got famous, his TV show, how he stays grounded, some life advice, and so much more. Enjoy!

    How is this podcast not have like a million subs already? This is by far the bast in-dept interview of Bretman. The host was very much connected with Bretman. He lets his guest talk, he doesn't overtalk, he doesn't overshare. He's very much self aware and confident. It's also refreshing that the host is nice to look at. lols God bless you!

    Bretman’s composure and communication skills are exceptional! Knowing self is so important and you emulate and model this so well. Love your sincerity and willingness to help those who live in Hawaii. You don’t need to have Hawaiian blood to have mana.

    I’m so grateful to Bretman, mainly just for who he is as a baseline. But mostly because by watching him, i’ve allowed myself to become freer, i’ve allowed myself to ’bloom’. People like him are beacons of creativity, which is weird to say because he’s 1 of 1 quite literally. This interviewer too is a perfect match, seems like a very kind and genuine man and i’ll stop there because lawd.
