Nash Grier (born in North Carolina) is an American teenager who, in 2013, became known for the short videos he posted online using the mobile application Vine. As of April 2014 he is the most popular star on Vine.[1] According to New York Magazine Grier is 16 years old as of April 2014, and "is a God-fearing Christian who frequently consults his iPhone’s Bible app while on the road."[2] Daily Dot estimates that between Twitter, Vine, and YouTube Grier speaks to more than 14 million fans as of July 2014.[3]

He attends the Davidson Day School in North Carolina.[4] Nash has appeared on Good Morning America twice.[5] Grier and his friend Cameron Dallas have accepted a movie deal with AwesomenessTV to star in their own movie.[6] They have a combined number of followers on Vine of more than 11 million.[7]

LGBT controversy

He has been criticized by various media outlets for disparaging comments against LGBT people.[8][9][7] In April of 2013, Grier posted a vine to his 8.7 million followers where he said "Yes it is! FAG!" in response to a OraQuick at-home oral HIV test ad which stated "it's not a gay thing."[10][11]Grier later deleted the vine, but it had already spread online.[10]Towleroad stated Grier had a history "of making homophobic remarks on social media (and then deleting them)."[10] A photo from SnapChap of Grier kissing a man has also went viral. It is unclear the context of the image was connected to the recent homophobic post[12] or whether it was an old one that has resurfaced. Grier posted an apology on Twitter noting he is young, "ignorant, stupid, and in a bad place. I've moved on and learned from my mistakes and I am so truly sorry to anyone I have offended."[3]
