From Seventeen

Sway House’s Griffin Johnson always knows how to put a fun twist on those viral lip-sync and dance vids. His playful and light-hearted personality comes through in every TikTok post, so it’s no wonder he has over five million followers on the platform. Though it may seem like he’s destined for a big social media career, Griffin sees more than TikTok posts on his horizon. Here’s everything you need to know about TikTok star Griffin Johnson.

Everyone thinks he's an LA kid

Griffin told Famous Birthdays that lots of fans assume he's from LA, but he's actually from Illinois. So that's where his genuine personality comes from!

His house is backed by a major talent agency

Griffin is one of the six guys that make up the creator collective, the Sway House. TikTok management agency, Talent X, owns the house and represents all its members. So far, the Sway House is the only creator collective known to be under a management umbrella.

And he's Sway's oldest member

He was born on January 13, 1999, so at 21-years-old, Griffin is the oldest member of the house.

There's a lot of hype around his next tour

In an interview with The Zach Sang Show, the guys of the Sway House talked about going on tour. Bryce Hall said, “We are doing a tour that we’re thinking of soon, and it’s gonna be ten times better.” He said the last tour they went on was complete trash.

There’s no official word on when this new tour will take place, but with the quarantine in place due to the Coronavirus pandemic, it could be a while.

He's got merch

Griffin has hoodies available on his web store. Right now, there are only a couple of options available with either the phrase "LOL K" or a skull pattern.

He and Dixie D'Amelio are TikTok's latest "It" couple

Now that Lil Huddy and Charli D'Amelio are no more, the internet needed a new TikTok romance to obsess over. Fans didn't have to look far because Griffin and Charli's older sister, Dixie, are cute AF. The two have been showering our feeds with loving posts since they first appeared on TikTok together back in February. After weeks of romance rumors, the couple made it Instagram official with this sweet shot of them together captioned, "<3."

He's starring in a new Brat TV series

Just like fellow TikTokers Avani Gregg and Mads Lewis, Griffin is branching out into acting. He's going to be starring in Attaway General, a new series by Brat TV that takes place in the same town as Chicken Girls. This show follows the story of a group of teenagers who volunteer at a hospital, and the show's page on Famous Birthdays says Griffin will be playing a character named Will.

He's a nursing student

Griffin’s Attaway General character may be spending lots of time at a hospital, but the TikTok star actually has a real interest in the medical field. Griffin is enrolled in the nursing program at Indiana State University, and the school’s paper caught up with him to talk about his social media success. “Social media has changed my life not only with the friends I have made but the ability to affect and change my fans’ days and lives,” Johnson said. “I love social media for the opportunities and people I have been able to meet.”

His dog had an Instagram account

Griffin managed a small Instagram account for his Black Lab, Diesel. Earlier this year, Griffin made the sad announcement that his best friend had passed away, but you can still see all the sweet pics on Diesel’s page.
