1. She Has Danced Her Whole Life

“I actually had like the one video to go viral that kind of started it all,” she told Jimmy Fallon. “It was a duet of this woman, Move With Joy, who makes ‘easy dances’ and it's her voice speaking. And you just copy whatever she says. So I edit the video that she did, and it was just like, step, step, hip, hip, stuff like that. Very simple. It was like eight moves and I posted it. I was on my way to some summer dance camp thing. It was about an hour and a half away from my house. So I had posted it before I left. And then I got in the car with my mom for an hour and a half. And my phone kept going off and I was like, mom, like, what's going on? Like, why are people liking this? This is so…I got 90 likes,” she said with a laugh. “And then I was like, wait, what do I do now?” She continued: “Then my next video, I went back to of course, posting me dancing in my room or my bathroom by myself. I've been training and dancing since I was three, I actually started competing when I was five. Dance has been a part of my life since, ever. There's videos of me dancing…before I could walk.”

2. She Has Anxiety

Charli can get anxiety and panic attacks that cause her to "cry for three days straight" until she feels like she’s "not even Charli anymore." "I'm just this emotional person that doesn't function properly," she said to Avani Gregg on the Facebook Watch show "Here For It.” "And I get into these, like, really, really bad places, and it's scary for me. I'm not myself, and I don't know what takes over, but it's just so much built up that I'm trying to get out all at once, and it's really tough. Especially when you feel like everyone has an invitation to say anything about you."

3. She Drinks Coffee

“Caffeine is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about coffee. But coffee also contains antioxidants and other active substances that may reduce internal inflammation and protect against disease, say nutrition experts from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine,” says Hopkins Medicine. “Recent studies found that coffee drinkers are less likely to die from some of the leading causes of death in women: coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease.”

4. She is Not Perfect 24/7

“Same as everyone else, I grew up watching people online and seeing how perfect they are and no one really gets into the, ‘Hey, I'm not perfect. I have lots of things that I wanna work on to make myself feel better. And there's things that I still have to do.’ I still have to, at the end of the day, go to school, I still have to eat three meals a day. I have to clean my room. I have to do chores around the house. Like it's the same thing. And I feel like having people know that I do those exact same things that they do is something that's a little bit comforting and it brings us together. And it's like, I don't wanna put myself on this pedestal that I am perfect 24/7, because I'm very much not. I have my bad days. I have my down days. I live a normal life at the end of the day, but I post on social media and I feel like so many people try to play themselves as perfect. And I just cannot be that person. I can't do that to myself. That's too difficult,” she told ET.

5. She is Anti Cyber-Bullying

Charli and her sister Dixie “paired up with UNICEF for Internet Safety Day and talking about how cyber bullying really can affect people. And I feel like it's very important to raise awareness about that. Cause a lot of people don't like talking about the hate they get and I know, especially me, I get a lot,” she told Fallon. “I'd rather use the platform that I have now to talk and raise awareness because yeah, ot hurts when I'm getting it [now], but it hurts the same when I was in school and someone would comment like, oh, you're ugly under my Instagram post. And I had like what? 40 followers? Yeah. It hurts the same. So I just feel like it's very, very important raising awareness about that and just showing everyone like it's okay to not be okay.”

TikTok star Charli D'Amelio is giving a very sweet shout out to pal Markell Washington via her Instagram account. D'Amelio shared a picture of herself and Washington over the years, including one of her posing in the water in a pink bikini, laughing with the YouTube star. “No one does it like you @markellwashington. Happy belated birthday. I love you more than life. Thank you for being you. Family forever 🤍.” Markell responded in the comments, saying “Thank you so much char char 🥹😭❤️❤️ I love you so much lil sis, we are riding together forever until the wheels fall off PUURRR you mean so much to me 💙💙.” D'Amelio has made it clear family always comes first—here’s how she balances work and play.

1. Learning From Reality Show

D'Amelio says doing a reality show with her family taught her a lot. “I think I obviously learned a lot, just because you're watching yourself go through situations,” she says. “And I think a lot of it is just maturity and growing up, learning new things, and being able to see what you look like from an outside perspective. I think is really interesting. I feel like I'm probably very similar in a lot of ways, and in the ways that I'm different I don't even realize until other people watch it and they're like, ‘Whoa, okay. That's cool.’”

2. Embracing Individualism

D'Amelio loves that social media gives young people a way to express their creativity. “I think for a long time you were supposed to fit into this little box of how you’re supposed to be, and I feel like with this whole generation that grew up on social media, we’ve seen how fast trends change and how people can express themselves in different ways,” she says. “That’s something that’s so amazing and I feel like individuality is super important because it’s so easy to fall in line and be just like everyone else. Even before TikTok, I went to a school where we wear uniforms, and still, every single person would wear their uniforms in their own way.”

3. She’s a Dancer

Anyone who has watched D'Amelio’s TikTok videos knows she is an gifted dancer. "I've been a competition dancer my entire life,” she says. “I know a lot of people don't know that I study dance outside of TikTok, but it is something that I definitely want to do more of.”

4. Creating Perfume

D'Amelio is thrilled to create her own perfume. “If I looked at myself kind of five years ago, I would've never thought that I would be coming out with my own fragrance,” she says. “When the idea was [presented] to me, it really ticked a box that I didn't have. It was something that I didn't see a lot of other people my age pursuing, and I really didn't have a signature fragrance that I felt like made me, me. [I was] missing that one thing I have to do before I leave to make myself feel ready. And Born Dreamer really filled that for me. It's the perfect blend of fruity, floral, feminine, strong, and confident. It plays well off of everyone's natural skin smell."

5. Taking Time To Slow Down

D'Amelio likes to relax with spa treatments. “My life has been super busy lately, with Dancing with the Stars and upcoming projects,” she said in 2022. “When I get stressed, I like to take time for myself—alone time allows me to recenter myself and relax. With such a busy schedule, doing at-home spa treatments provides some calmness back into my life, too. I also like to stay organized with little reminders so I can check off things as they happen.”

Dean is unafraid to speak her mind, and is a proud feminist. In this video interview with Next Management, she talked about double standards in the industry and society. “I always thought that if I spoke loud, people would feel uncomfortable. If I said what was on my mind, it would make people feel uncomfortable. Especially as a woman, too often we have to be quiet, and mind people. And what ends up happening is you have a whole bunch of people who are minded, but never end up speaking their mind. I don’t think you should even be apologetic for who you are.”

Thank you god for removing my fear of failure and judgment, truly everything missing was on the other side.”

2. She’s Grateful
