Noah Tijerina, at just 15, took the world by storm in a few short hours. You probably know him from his #dontjudgeme challenge that went viral around the world over night. I sat down with the boy behind the video to get more information on this Instagram sensation.
K: When did you start to notice your fame on social media really start to pick up?
N: I really won't consider it fame because I do not consider myself famous. I'm just a regular teenager who posted a video for fun. I never thought it would've blown up the way it did...but after the #dontjudgemechallenge video is when the attention started coming.
