The rising star explained why the Swede is the perfect person to be YouTube\u2019s most subscribed content creator. [jwplayer smynPnSq] Mr Beast\u2019s rise on YouTube has been swift, as the 22-year-old saw an explosion in subscribers in 2019. Despite being the site\u2019s latest sensation, the young philanthropist has often shared his love for the platform\u2019s most subscribed individual \u2013 PewDiePie. In an interview with Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag in October, Donaldson opened up about his deep admiration for the entertainer. The star also explained why he wouldn\u2019t ever want to pass Kjellberg in numbers. Mr Beast explains why he admires PewDiePie During the hour-long sit down, Mr Beast touched on subjects ranging from his obsession with YouTube, to TikTok\u2019s future on the platform. The star also explained his deep love for PewDiePie and why he looks up to him so much. \u201cI appreciate how humble he is. Literally. I\u2019m not gonna say names, but I think you can think of quite a few YouTubers, if they were in his position, that would just be arrogant and just be a giant p**ck,\u201d he said. Nadeshot then joked that Pewds was \u201cgiant\u201d and referenced his recent body transformation. Laughing, Donaldson continued, \u201cAs if he wasn\u2019t already big enough on YouTube. I just think it\u2019s the fact that he\u2019s humble at that big of a size, when it would be very easy to be a p**ck.\u201d (Topic starts at 36:30) The star wouldn\u2019t say if he thought he would one day surpass the YouTuber in numbers, but explained that he didn\u2019t want to. \u201cI want to get one subscriber behind him. Get me there!\u201d he joked. Mr Beast has never been shy of his love for Kjellberg. In 2019 he helped lead the \u2018Sub2PewDiePie\u2019 campaign, and even pulled off a stunt at the Super Bowl promoting the content creator in front of millions of viewers. Without a doubt, the 22-year-old has become YouTube\u2019s next sensation. Despite his sudden rise of fame, Donaldson continues to pay respects to PewDiePie, who he has often cited as an inspiration for his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr Beast explains why he admires PewDiePie more than other YouTubers YouTube: 100 Thieves \/ PewDiePieDuring an October 29 podcast, Jimmy \u2018Mr Beast\u2019 Donaldson revealed why he respects Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg so much.
