Jordan the Stallion has gone viral over and over again for sharing his fast food secrets. As the self-elected president of the “Fast Food Secrets Club,” he dishes out recipes and hacks that his followers just eat up. Literally.
In a recently shared video on Instagram and TikTok, Howlett stitched a video that talks about the fact that Gen Z is aging rapidly. His video has received more than 13 million views on TikTok and has more than 1.4 million likes on Instagram so far.
“It is mainly because of the stress,” he began his viral video. “We live in a time nowadays where millennials look way younger for their age while Gen Z looks way older for their age. If you don’t believe me, I’m Gen Z.”
He continued to explain that nobody ever believes him when he says he’s Gen Z or reveals his age.
“When my mom and I walk out in public, people think that my mom is my younger sister,” he continued. “When I tell people I’m gonna go hang out with my family, they think I’m talking about my children. I don’t have kids. I’m talking about my parents. I’m still the child.”
Howlett then gave some examples saying Zendaya is older than him, as well as Tom Holland. It appears from the comment section that his followers all collectively gasped at that blunt realization.

Howlett then gave an example of how people always assume he’s older than he is by sharing a story about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
“There was one time I wanted an autograph from Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. I was standing for hours for this autograph and when he walked up to me, I said, ‘Can you please sign this poster, it’s for Jordan?’” Howlett said.
“He then took it and put, ‘Dear Jordan, your dad is a great guy. He stood out here for hours.’ And then he gave it back to me and before I can correct him, he looked at me and said, ‘Times were way more difficult back when we were kids, am I right?’ and then he tapped my shoulder and left. Dwayne is 52. I am 26.”
And that little story caught Johnson‘s attention who took to the comment section on Howlett’s Instagram post.

Many were shocked that “The Rock” hopped into the comments, and others were more focused on the fact that Howlett is 26 years old.

“…………why do you look so old?!? is it the beard? The sweater???? Your cadence???” one person wrote in the comments. Another added, “You’re gen z? I’m sooo sooo sorry.”
Another follower wrote, “This made me laugh so hard. Also. I am 12 years older than you. I….don’t have words.”
Another person tried to soften the blow a bit by sharing, “Okay, not to sound rude, but I for real thought you were my age all this time. I’m 40, but you’re the age I tell people I am if they ask. You don’t look old. You just… look like a more adult adult? Does that make sense? LOL.”

Over on TikTok, the comments have the same vibe.
“When you said you’re Gen Z, I gasped,” one person said. Another added, “I’m still recovering from discovering you’re not an 80’s baby.”
Another follower commented that it all makes sense, “This is so accurate. I feel like there’s no in between with Gen Z though, they either look way older or way under their age.”
