First of all, I was literally so much younger than you guys and I wasn\u2019t as close to you so seriously don\u2019t worry about that.\u201d Although he\u2019s taken the original YouTube video down from his channel, the edit of him and Kenzie continues to do the rounds on social media, with one of the uploads to TikTok at over 7 million likes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
