Stephen Glickman, the man behind the viral ‘Loopy’ trend on TikTok, is now reaping the benefits of his newfound fame. Known for his role in the show “Big Time Rush,” Glickman recently appeared on “The TMZ Podcast” to discuss his viral TikTok sound, where he does a dramatic rendition of Gnarls Barkley’s hit song, “Crazy.”
The trend has taken off, with many celebrities joining in by lip-syncing to his track and sharing embarrassing moments from their past. However, Glickman’s success is far from cringeworthy, as he has landed a gig to perform at a WNBA halftime show. He and his band are set to fly out to Las Vegas to perform for a sold-out crowd at the Aces vs. Minnesota Lynx game.
In addition to the WNBA performance, Glickman has also secured a deal with HGTV, thanks to his newfound fame. It seems like things are really rolling for him, all because of a silly video he posted on TikTok.
While Glickman is yet to see any financial gain from the viral trend, he has big plans for when the money starts coming in. He also revealed that he has been in touch with CeeLo Green, the other half of Gnarls Barkley, and plans to visit the soul singer in Atlanta.
As his stardom continues to rise, Glickman remains grounded and plans to use his earnings to take trips with his mother, showing that despite his newfound success, family remains close to his heart.
